I have type 1 diabetes that i try hard to control, but i struggle with. are my chances high for poor outcomes with the virus? im in such a panic about it.

Depends-all factors: Type I diabetics can be more fragile when they have any type of infection unfortunately. If you are younger & do not smoke & do not have other chronic problems, your increased risk may be minimal. Eating balanced diet, keeping glucose controlled, getting adequate exercise (including fresh air outdoors), & adequate sleep all should help protect you from severe consequences, but be very careful !

Health Care team: If you are having problems controlling your diabetes. consider talking with your doctor about working with a nutritionist and a diabetes educator/ provider. Instead of panicking, put your efforts into getting your illness under better control.
