[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2316195, member: 513948"] I haven't read anything that your more likely to get Covid with diabetes. there are studies that suggest you are more likely to develop serious complications with diabetes once you get covid, however most of the studies suggest this is often tied in with either very poor glucose control or more frequently with obesity and age. Since age and obesity increase risk of diabetes and covid seems to cause more issues with people who are obese and or old - then it also connects the dots to diabetes. It doesn't follow from what i have read that a person with diabetes and good control and no other risk factors are at significantly higher risk of serious complications However we should all be careful regardless.
