[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2233055, member: 140811"] Hi Ames37, From my simplistic understanding of this virus, having high blood sugars will increase the risk a LITTLE. But if you don't have other diabetes complications then you'll probably be ok. Try to put everything in perspective, this virus does not discriminate on the grounds of race, creed or colour. From the statistics alone, it dislikes people over 60 and it seems to favour women and children so it's (probably) not as bad for you as it is for some us. Try not to worry about it unduly but in terms of self isolation, everybody is at risk to some degree so it's your call. My approach to it is to think I may already have it and try not to give it to others.
