[QUOTE="Dexterdobe, post: 2269551, member: 454478"] I am T2. I control my condition with diet and exercise and my HBA1c has been below 42 for the last two years. I hear that I am at much higher risk if I get severe Covid-19 than the average person. It seems odd that the experts think that a well controlled T2 is at the same risk as one who isn't controlled at all. Now, I am well controlled, but that is only because I keep myself fit and I avoid carbohydrates. If I was rushed into hospital with Covid-19, I would get no exercise at all and the NHS would not doubt feed me their balanced diet, based on the 'Eat Well Plate' theory of good eating. I know from experience that their balanced diet would shoot my BG through the roof. Just eating a few potatoes puts my BG up from 6 to 9. Question: Is this why controlled T2's are at the same risk as uncontrolled T2's? [/QUOTE]
