Corona virus has caused so much panic across the globe and this is leading to shut down of places and partial lockdown in other places. i think the mode of transmission is the major reason why there is much more panic than that of SARS and MERS. other thing are similar. thank you

Hello Melissa,

Covid-19 is a possible threat to all people but the risk factor increases as your blood sugar increases and is uncontrolled. You should get tested for diabetes and if you read my post on What does insulin resistance mean and How to test for insulin resistance these will help you to determine if you are diabetic.

I truly appreciate your article in light of our world's current circumstances. My husband is diabetic and the information in this article is very useful to him. I think it is important for all of us to practice these health recommendations for the safety of our communities and to help get this virus under control. I take these extra precautions myself because I could be prediabetic and not even know it because I didn't have time to get the proper test done. Plus, I think it is important to be safe to ensure the safety of my family and my neighbors. Thanks for sharing this info!

Hello Jimmy,

Uncontrolled diabetes, without the virus can do major damage to your body. My main message is to try to get your diabetes in check as soon as you can, the virus is another thing in itself.

I agree do all of the things that the health authorities are telling us to do, like social distancing.

Stay healthy and safe.

Thanks for reading and your comment.

Hello Zach,

We all have the same chance of contracting the virus once we are exposed to it. On the other hand the people that have a greater risk of severe problems or fatality are the ones with pre-existing conditions. Pre-diabetic is the same as diabetic, although your blood sugar is a bit above normal, your insulin could be high for years and years. Read my post on What Does Insulin Resistance Mean? this will help explain the link between diabetes and insulin.

Hello Donny,

We really need to take care of ourselves and by eating a healthy diet you should be OK. In most cases people do not suffer unless they have some sort of comorbidity, but you know the virus is unpredictable. I am lucky as I have not contracted the virus yet and hope that it stays this way.

Thanks for reading and your comment.

Thanks for this article on the Corona Virus and Diabetes. It's good to remind ourselves to be extra-careful but especially to those who are suffering from diabetes due to impaired immunity.

The best thing to be safe is to social distance since it is better not to contract the virus than to have it with uncertain body resistance and immunity.

This post can help people with diabetes in relation to the present pandemic situation at hand.

Thank you for explaining this terrible virus more. I didn't know that diabetics were susceptible to the virus as much as the people with critical problems. Being pre-diabetic do I fall into that 10% of getting it? This website has shed new light on the things I have been reading, thank you for more information about this it helps me so much thank you again.

Its really important that those with diabetes take care of themselves. You have to protect yourself and don't get this virus, Yeah we know it the elderly are going to suffer. I hear its also recommended that we all eat foods that will keep our immune system in good shape, so when we get he virus we are not found with a weak immune system.

One thing is for Sure, that we play a major role in making sure that a diabetic keeps their blood pressure levels low. I am not a diabetic but a lot of the people I know who are over 40 are.

Many thanks for this article, it will really help make a difference and preserve a number of lives.
