[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2264425, member: 480869"] You have asked this same question many times in these forums. We cannot give you a specific risk. Yes type 2 is twice the risk of non diabetic. Being young is a good point and lowers risk (baseline of 1 is in the 60’s). Having good control is a positive so do your best here. Having a good weight is positive so again do your best there. Most importantly remember if the fundamental and underlying risk of dying is low a doubling of risk means a lot less. Eg 1% doubled is just 2%. And if your locality has very few cases (Pakistan) you are a lot less likely to catch it in the first place, particularly if you are exercising good precautions. [/QUOTE]
