Hello. i am wondering what my risks are as a 31-year-old type 1 diabetic and going back to work in a middle school setting. type 1 diabetes and covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: The real issue regarding severity of COVID 19 symptoms is: is diabetes being treated and is it under control? People with ketoacidosis and poorly controlled blood sugar have increased risk with COVID 19. However, if diabetes is under good control, risk is much lower.
