[QUOTE="Jamie H, post: 2266989, member: 523528"] Tend to agree with this.. On balance without being complacent and diminishing the seriousness of things... When weighing up risk (not guaranteed outcome) blanket shielding doesn't make sense. Note also that the risk for under 40s diminishes a bit further if you're well controlled and not obese (at least this is my understanding of it). Note that when x3. 5 it is against the hazard ratio of an under 40 (compared to a 60-69 year old which is the ref. age and carries a HR of 1) which is 0.01(or 1%). The numbers are ratios not overall mortality % but these would also be very low for this age group. In short my non diabetic twin aged 31 has a 1% chance of dying compared to a 60-69 year old. I in turn have a 3.5x chance compared to my 31 year old twin.... So still very very small. Not sure how this all works when looking at paper 2 though... Which is HR within diabetics alone?? [/QUOTE]
