Sadly for them, Type 1 diabetics tend to get the diabetes in childhood, which gives the illness far more time to damage their bodies.

- The risk of COVID for type 1 or type 2 varies from patient to patient. Governments, scientist, and research organizations from across the globe are continuously working on finding facts, risks, and treatment on COVID-19. It is still unclear whether people who are taking diabetes treatment are more likely to catch coronavirus. At the same time data also shows that once in a hospital with COVID-19, people with diabetes have worse outcomes than people without. If data is to be believed, people with type 1 diabetes are approximately 3.5 times higher in comparison to type 2. The only thing that you can do to avoid the risk of COVID is to follow the issued guidelines by WHO, take your medicines on time, intake of recommended diet, and a regular exercise.
The big caveat in all of this - what is the baseline risk to begin with? 3.5 times a low risk is still a low risk. Similarly 3.5 times and already high risk may warrant shielding advice. It varies a lot dependant on each person.

Okay, but forum is not accepting links here. How can I share the source?Hi Billy - Welcome to the forum.
It looks like your post is part of a larger document perhaps? In those situations it is very helpful to include the source of the information, so that others can read more widely in the document.
