[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2264414, member: 480869"] No one can give you your personal risk in these forums. If you look at these reports my understanding is 1 is the baseline. Add and subtract various other factors from there. Age, control, gender, comorbidities, weight, ethnicity, etc etc You cannot change your age, gender or type 1. Maximise health that is in your control and be cautious as much as possible really is the message to be taken from this. Yes diabetes and it’s complications are an extra risk. They are for most illnesses and covid is no different. But the risks for any group are overall in the balance positive. Some more so than others admittedly. But any multiples are of the original risk factor and if that is small so is the multiple. Eg 3.5 of 0.5% is still pretty small (1.75%) [/QUOTE]
