Diabetes and Coronavirus

Now that unfortunately the coronavirus issue is on everyone's lips, and it is known that people with chronic diseases have greater risks of suffering complications.

How much concerned we must be the diabetics in the face of a possible appearance of the virus in our town.

Is it known that mortality rate has this or another type of virus?

Should a young person carefully worry?

Thank you

I would say that we have it worse than people without diabetes ... 😅😅😅😅

Now, not because it is the coronavirus, the same thing happens to us with the flu, etc ... so ... I would not overwhelm me much with this.

Apart from the ballots bought by having a base disease, I see an added problem and with which you have to be careful:
- The punctures.Especially those of capillary measurements.Do not prick with dirty hands and be careful after we touch while the wound is still open.

I have read in this same forum as many do not have hygiene with that and, if you have respect for viruses, it is something that you should start changing.

We will have to do what they tell us.Call 112 if there are symptoms.
And the protection they send us.
And sugar at home ...
And good control to have more defenses.

Man already said a good friend of mine, if you are Jodi ..... Give yourself lost.hehehe
Apart from the jokes, it does not have more than any other person in relation to the respiratory tract, if it is true that any infection affects glucose levels but that does not kill you (suddenly) to if we do not put ourselvesTags that are not true.
On the coronavirus it is not known much apart from being a virus, which affects the high tracks, but it has no more history
to take care of yourself

Well, I think you have to worry about the same thing that you worry about a flu or other similar disease, only here there is no vaccine to date.Come on, try to have our disease controlled as much as possible and little else.

Regarding what is commented on the punctures, well, it is clear that you have to have hygiene and wash your hands but that I know if you counter this disease I do not think it is through the punctures specifically.

Do not worry that the vaccine will be when falling and the billions of benefit for laboratories and pharmaceutical companies+ Stocky Bursatile Brokers too.-

I work in a health center of a large town in Seville and there is already a confirmed case in this city, I am not totally overwhelmed but I am worried because I am in direct contact with the patients and to know ... maybe if this is going worse I couldBe a reason for work leave, does anyone know?

Labor leave can be taken for any reason that incapacitates you for work, but the coronavirus is little more than a flu, it has nothing to do with diabetes, in a clear vital sense, it does not affect the pancreas system, or heart,etc, you can be diabetic and catch pneumonia, hepatitis, colic, etc. like any other person

Man in theory having an autoimmune disease, it is assumed that our defenses are worse, as these viruses are only fought with your own defenses, we have more options to have complications.But there will be cases and cases, I have been with diabetes for 10 years and I do not consider that I have worse defenses, I take the subway every day in Madrid, my girlfriend is bad all the winters and I have never become bad.

The other day a Chinese laboratory came out announcing that it already has a vaccine prototype, not the definitive but one that can be approached.-

While there are many cases that suffer in a totally asymptomatic way, a virus that causes pneumonia that parallel to the two lungs and, as pneumonia that it is (it can have a multiorgan condition), I would not say that it is little morethan a flu.

What happens today is that people believe that pneumonies are nonsense ... simple colds ... I know two people under 45, without previous pathologies and without being smokers who have died of a "common pneumonia”

It seems that only those who have suffered one with some good scare know what the matter is about ...

@meginer temporary disability would proceed in case of developing viral coronavirus infection, so the preventive case is not a reason.The usual flu protection measures should be taken.

What is complicated is to demonstrate that it was a professional illmost public employees.

I am an expert in labor disabilities and a medical assistance of professional contingencies, in addition to training in disabilities for public health and curiously for inspectors a flu is a professional illness and in my case it is not.

Labor Low .... ??The reason .. ??Have diabetes and risk of flu or coronavirus?Then because of the risk of flu we should be discharged from December to April ... ??And hypertensive and asthmatic etc ....?We would paralyze the country, all down

On mortality data ... I copy a part of the article that reference below.

" This follow -up shows that in younger groups virus mortality is double that of a common flu, which has caused death to more men than women (2.8% against1.7%), and that especially affects people with previous diseases, especially cardiovascular type (10% of mortality), diabetes (7.3% mortality) and chronic respiratory conditions (a 6, 6, 6,3%).

Well, I'm going to Milan, focus on the problem in a few days and as long as Ryanair does not cancel the trip, I have long paid everything before the Coronavirus.
I will tell you how it is going ... "Bug never dies!"That's me :)

Well, it worries me, it is not a flu for which there is vaccine, and in 20% of cases it causes double pneumonia.
Hopefully there are effective treatments soon, and vaccine.
Meanwhile, the protection measures that advise us.

I think they are exaggerating the measures and their head has gone.The virus will extend if or yes and put entire peoples and companies in quarantine it seems to me a barbarity.They will create more damage than well.But well that is my opinion.

I have been forbidden to travel to northern Italy!And if I do it I would have to stay around 14 days at home.They are crazy and they are creating everyone.
