Ever wonder why people living with diabetes are at higher risk of COVID-19 complications? 

Dr Jivan from Charlotte Maxeke J.A. Hospital states: “The virus causes higher blood sugar and higher blood sugar worsens the body’s immune response.” #ActNowForDiabetes and #TakeYourMeds
Dr Zane Stevens: 
“People living with diabetes are at an increased risk of a more severe illness if they contract COVID-19 and two recent studies from the UK have reported that the risk of in-hospital death is higher when the diabetes is less well controlled" #TakeYourMeds
So basically, keep your sugar levels low, work out more often, stay as healthy as possible and monitor your blood glucose levels. #ActNowForDiabetes

Here’s more information about susceptibility & #ostomy/#Jpouch from @HolubarStefan. Ostomates (or jpouchers) don’t have a lower immune system *just* because they have an ostomy, BUT it’s imperative to keep strict hygiene. #IPAA https://t.co/bkeqMkcYRv
