Definitely. But keeping non-diabetic levels as far as we can can only help with that. I’d be interested to see a decent sized study between levels of control of T1 and mortality.As one of the articles says, it's reassuring although we still carry a higher risk than a non D.

I totally agree with not allowing yourself to get hospitalised in the first place, I've never been impressed by hospital staff decisions for type 1's and have briefed my other half not to leave my side if ever admitted, to follow my instructions for maintaining my sugars and to say no to sliding scale, bossy, arrogant but hey!I feel the trick is not to get hospitalised in the first place.
We know our own D managment. How many can be confident an HCP dapping between different patients could do the same.?
I've also given my OH direction not to leave my side - but with a no visitor rule right now I'd rather stay away!I totally agree with not allowing yourself to get hospitalised in the first place, I've never been impressed by hospital staff decisions for type 1's and have briefed my other half not to leave my side if ever admitted, to follow my instructions for maintaining my sugars and to say no to sliding scale, bossy, arrogant but hey!
This has been done by Professor P Karr in the Lancet published study in May (I think). Again limited by studying hospitalised cases only but a much larger sample and does include data about the number of diabetics in the country and covered until May too.Definitely interesting but would be even more interesting to see a larger analysis not just of those hospitalised, but all those who contracted the virus with type1/type2 to look at rate of hospitalisation/death etc. That would be a clearer view of overall risk.
Aye, I’m more than happy to be out and about doing my thing - pop a mask on, wash hands and off we go. Some of the necessary precautions are a PITA but it won’t be for too long, hopefully.In short I think the risk for a well controlled type 1 diabetics under 50 is still overall very low... A fact backed up by both papers whichever way you look at them.
That's not to say there aren't regretful exceptions.. And well all fear we may be one of them
