What are the chances of me being hospitalised from the coronavirus? i am terrified about this, as i have type 1 diabetes.

Small chance: Even though you have type 1 diabetes, your chance of being hospitalized by coronavirus are small, as long as you are taking good control of your diabetes! The best thing going for you is your age, which is by far the greatest "risk factor" for being hospitalized. The virus seems to affect those >70 y.o. much harder. Having asthma or COPD would be much more worrisome than having diabetes.
