Middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes have a significantly higher risk of dying from coronavirus than patients of the same age group but without diabetes. This was stated by scientists at the University of Exeter, according to a press release on EurekAlert !.
As determined by the researchers, a 50-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes has the same chance of dying from COVID-19 as a 66-year-old person who does not have diabetes. However, this difference decreases with age.
Although people with non-insulin-dependent diabetes are a priority group for vaccinations in Germany and the UK, this is not the case in most other countries.
Scientists believe people with diabetes need to get the coronavirus vaccine as soon as possible.
