[QUOTE="zand, post: 2329074, member: 85197"] My take on T2 as a risk factor for COVID-19 is that if your metabolism is broken and you have insulin resistance then you are at a higher risk than someone whose metabolism is fully functioning. I was a well controlled T2 and whilst that is obviously preferable to having a high HbA1c at the onset of Covid-19, it is just one factor. From my experience having insulin resistance, and being overweight because of it, is what made my illness worse than it might have been if I had been metabolically healthy. [/QUOTE]
