[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2263158, member: 523528"] I think we will know a lot more in the next few days... (says me who kept at the point about risk earlier). Perhaps, and it's just a theory... We know the risk of raised levels and resultant DKA correlates with severity of infection However it may be true also that the risk of getting severe infection in the first place correlates with the other risk factors mentioned. Ie obesity, age, control, other comorbidities etc. I.e. severe infection causes raised glucose levels but raised glucose levels (control) are a factor in how severely you get the infection in the first place. The NHS study showed control before (those with lower hba1c) infection impacted outcome and severity of disease. [/QUOTE]
