Yes, individuals with diabetes are considered to be at an increased risk of severe illness if they contract COVID-19. Diabetes is among the underlying health conditions that have been identified as risk factors for severe outcomes from COVID-19.Several reasons contribute to the increased risk:Weakened Immune System: Diabetes can lead to a weakened immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections, including viral infections like COVID-19.Inflammation: Diabetes is associated with chronic inflammation, and COVID-19 can trigger an inflammatory response in the body. The combination of these factors may lead to more severe symptoms.Other Health Complications: People with diabetes often have other health issues such as heart disease or kidney disease, which are additional risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes.Blood Sugar Levels: Poorly managed blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes may contribute to a more challenging recovery from any illness, including COVID-19.
