I’m trying to find some evidence/articles about the increased risks of coronavirus when they have diabetes. I have had a look at various publications but can’t quite find the data I am looking for. My MIL is 72 and has type 2 diabetes. She is not obese and is fairly healthy. She told my husband last night that she believes she has a 1 in 4 chance of dying if she gets coronavirus. I am pretty sure that is incorrect as these odds are way to high. I think she has read that 1 in 4 people who die with coronavirus have diabetes, which I believe is not the same thing. I would really like to be able to point her to some data that shows what her risk actually might be. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
