A member asked:
I have type 1 diabetes and am getting very concerned about the coronavirus. if i was to get it, would i have to be hospitalised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Whether or not you would require hospitalization would depend on how sick you are, not your diabetes. Well controlled diabetes probably doesn't pose high risk for serious COVID-19 disease.
