Uncertain: it is still unclear the exact risk factors, but it has been determined that the mortality is higher in diabetics and patients with hypertension. However i see you are young which is in your favor. In any case follow the general medical recommendations: strict social distancing, wear a mask, hand washing.

Might be more severe: People with diabetes can have more fragile immune systems with difficulty fighting infections, so if you contract coronavirus you might be at greater risk for breathing complications. Any serious illness can affect blood sugar control in diabetics also. I recommend taking extra precautions to minimize contact with people so as to avoid contacting the virus.
