Yes, there is actually a ton of preliminary data.

I have done "much reading" as the early stuff has been published and can give you the "10 cent take" from the highlights that I remember. Then if you have a more specific question I will absolutely look up the answer.

(I have access to the US National Institute of Health - NIH Database which is like an online library for pretty much every medical/clinical study ever done - use it for some "light reading" 🤣 )

Anyhow, here's some of the highlights.

Covid and "existing" Diabetics -

Diabetics do not get covid easier or more often or at disproportionately higher rates then "sugar eaters" - so it doesn't "hunt us down".

If you do get it your outcome will be almost directly connected to your level of blood sugar control.

For a while there about 30% of those in ICU were both poorly controlled diabetics AND obese.

If you ended up in ICU as a diabetic you had a 60% chance of being rolled out the backdoor by the undertaker - so not great odds.

Some percentage (not clear because not enough data yet, but known) of Diabetics that even got a mild case saw their blood sugar number escalate both during the infection period and for a "while" beyond - some (again, no solid numbers yet) saw a significant advance in the disease (because the infection does really mess with the pancreas in some people - but not all - again, they need more data).

Most diabetics simply "shake off covid" and are no better or worse then before they got it.

Although we typically "take longer to heal" Covid doesn't seem to "last longer" in diabetics compared to sugar eaters - so no more risk there either.

Thanks. That answered my questions at this point. I appreciate the prompt response.
