Researchers in China found that people with diabetes had three times the death rates as those without diabetes, and studies in other countries have found this as well. People with diabetes have also been found to be at greater risk if they take ACE inhibitors or ARBs, and the possible reason can be found above in this chapter, so talk to your doctor if you take these medications. Also, people with type 2 diabetes (the most common form) may have an altered immune response, and those with type 1 diabetes have a tendency to develop a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis can result in severe dehydration, worsening other serious complications of COVID-19.
