Yes, you could possibly be at greater risk than someone your age who does not have a health problem. However, if you are young and your diabetes is well controlled in general, these are already less risky factors. We learn more every day but there is still a lot we don't know about Covid. Social distancing and strict hygiene rules are required for all, diabetics or not
