[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2242341, member: 513948"] Allot of elderly are classed as diabetic as your pancreas starts giving Incas you get old. It's also a condition you can develop as other illnesses start shutting your body down and in many countries diabetics are very poorly managed and have compromised organs due to long term poor management. I would not draw too many conclusions from it. Fundimentaly the government policy is to protect the NHS from an influx of patients with serious side effects. If diabetics were at genuine very high risk they would be on the list of people to self isolate and they are not. Ignoring if you trust the government or not, they will do what's best to keep the numbers and costs down so I wouldn't over think headline numbers that don't mean much without the full picture Like if you look at the case to death rate in the UK it's massive, way above 1%, but that's meaningless unless you understand the data which is scewed by test frequency.
