JAKARTA – Comorbidities or people with aggravating disease, one of which is diabetes, are considered to be at high risk.
Diabetics are said to be the most vulnerable to being exposed to Covid-19 since the pandemic began.
If infected, people with diabetes will have severe symptoms.
Data shows that as many as 40 percent of deaths from Covid-19 patients have comorbidities or have diabetes.
An analysis by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of data from 10,647 people who died from Covid-19 between February and May 2020 found that 40 percent had diabetes.
Another study published in BMJ Open analyzed data from 1.3 million Covid-19 patients and found that having diabetes increased the risk of death by 14 percent.
Research has also linked diabetes to the development of more severe COVID-19 and a person’s risk of being put on a ventilator in the ICU if they catch the virus.
