A third of deaths from the virus have occurred among individuals with diabetes, which is linked to excess weight and a lack of exercise. The study by the [URL='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/nhs/index.html']NHS[/URL] and Imperial College [URL='https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/london/index.html']London[/URL] also found that those with Type 1 diabetes –which is not linked to obesity – were three and a half times more likely to die. The findings provide further evidence that certain groups of patients are at much higher risk of suffering fatal complications.“ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8337813/Type-2-diabetics-TWICE-likely-die-Covid-19-new-research-shows.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
