A member asked:

Can a patient with type 1 diabetes , get coronavirus mildly, or is that not possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and No: No two type 1 diabetics are the same. So you could have mild symptoms only. But unfortunately all diabetics are more likely to have more severe problems with infection, just as they do with most other infections.
