How COVID-19 may impact people with diabetes

How COVID-19 may impact people with diabetes

More than 30 million people have diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors want to make sure those who have the disease are taking precautions because they may face more severe illness if they contract COVID-19. Lansang said while it is not clear that those with diabetes are necessarily at greater risk for contracting COVID-19, uncontrolled diabetes weakens the immune system and may lead to complications and a more difficult recovery. But, it all depends how well someone manages their diabetes and if they have any other underlying health issues. She adds, once a vaccine for COVID-19 is made available to the public, those with diabetes should consider getting it since they are considered more vulnerable.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ€“ There is opposition against the Republican National Convention coming to Jacksonville in two months.

Doctors will be asked to report cases to state and local health departments so that the CDC can learn about the syndrome. And Boston Children's Hospital spokeswoman Erin Tornatore told CNN Tuesday two children with the syndrome were hospitalized there, but neither was in intensive care. Dr. Jeffrey Burns, chief of critical care medicine at Boston Children's Hospital, coordinates the panel. Some children have only needed supportive care,โ€ Boston Childrenโ€™s Hospital said on its website.
