[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2276258, member: 523528"] I know I've banged the drum repeatedly about not using other countries stats. However I felt compelled to post this as its been asked many times on the forum about admissions and severity of contracting covid when having diabetes, rather than just mortality. Also please note this is a study into type 1 diabetes only. Health warning (pardon the pun) - very preliminary stats with a very small study population. Not further extrapolated into relationship of severity with age, existence of other comorbidities, weight (just says what 39.7% were obese) or mangement (just avg hba1c was 8.5% and that the lower the better!) Encouraging that +50% managed at home. Less encouraging ICU admissions but you'd imagine some correlation with age, control, weight (nearly 40% of those studied were clinically obese) etc. Takeaways are that it's not a death sentence by a long stretch. Weight and control are key!! Aplogies for my apparent contradiction in posting US stats. Open to criticism [emoji23] [URL]https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/932175[/URL] [/QUOTE]
