As everyone learns more about COVID-19, we are getting a clearer picture of who is more at risk of severe illness if they get the virus. According to the CDC, people with diabetes are on the list of those at risk.
More than 30 million Americans have diabetes according to the CDC.
Doctors are particularly concerned about this population when it comes to COVID-19.
“It has been shown that maybe patients with diabetes may have kidney issues and also lung issues and it just continues to compound their risk for COVID-19 and worse outcomes,” said Dr. Cecilia Lansang, MD, MPH of Cleveland Clinic
