 Are people with diabetes more likely to get COVID-19?
  •  People with diabetes do not have a greater chance of getting the virus. However they are more likely to get complications - if they get the disease .
  • Your risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 is likely to be lower if your diabetes is well-managed.
  •  The more health conditions someone has (for example, diabetes plus heart disease), the greater the risk of getting  serious complications .
Is COVID-19 different from the seasonal flu?
 COVID-19 is proving to be a more serious illness than seasonal flu in everyone, including people with diabetes.
