Although I don’t get the Covid vaccine (personal choice) I did ask about it at my GP, I only have diabetes and was told as per the new guidelines I am not eligible for it on the NHS

I’m really scared. In the first wave, Type 1s over 50 who didn’t have perfect control (= all of us) had a 25% chance of dying if we caught it. Mild for whom?

I think that when the figures were crunched, and before vaccines, people with diabetes accounted for a third of deaths

This from the BMJ states that Type One ‘had a causal effect on severe Covid and death after Covid infection’
