COVID-19 Impacts People with Diabetes


Some people suffering from diabetes disease, that affects the body’s ability to produce or use the hormone insulin to reduce glucose (sugar) in the blood, may be concerned about being at higher risk of getting COVID-19. However the exact cause of severe outcomes in patients with diabetes and COVID-19 is unknown, research over the years has recommended that people who have diabetes may have impaired immune systems, which would disturb their ability to heal from an illness or disease quickly. Moreover if diabetes is especially uncontrolled for a long period of time, then they may cause inflammation, which also affects the immune system. Based on what the CDC is report at this time, people with type 1 or gestational diabetes might be at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Because COVID-19 is a new disease and we also don’t know as much as we’d like to about COVID-19 and how underlying medical conditions increase the risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
