[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2264581, member: 518059"] Individual variance is much larger than small differences, even if these are statistically meaningful. I've said this, you've said it [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and [USER=480869]@HSSS[/USER] [USER=362123]@Tophat1900[/USER] are all saying this, so [USER=468338]@MTS1980[/USER] and others please stop worrying about small differences and updates when new studies appear. What is important is the big picture. By far the largest difference is age. In the study by Valabhji's group they studied ~10'000 people who had diabetes and died from Covid-19. Of these only 23 were below 40, and 90 were 40 to 49 years old. Very few of the dead below 50 was T1. More than half of those who died were > 80 years old. Roughly speaking, every 10 years age difference your risk of dying from Covid-19 doubles. BTW, This is a very useful tool, thanks [USER=310899]@Bill_St[/USER]. I would have like to have this already when my last HbA1c test came out higher than I expected. [/QUOTE]
