"lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, brain, and other organs" On the "other organs" I've heard of some cases of new-onset, insulin-requiring #diabetes in severe #COVID19 (suggesting pancreas injury) but haven't seen any publications. Anybody out there to confirm?

Diabetics could be up to twice as likely to die from #COVID19 than people without #diabetes, according to the Journal of Endocrinological Investigation bit.ly/3bZZBqS bit.ly/3aVvwIM When will our political leaders tell junk food companies to halt advertising?

Hey @CocaCola: the best way you can help right now is to pull all of your ads. You just might save some lives. Drinking sugary sodas increases the risk of #diabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of death from #COVID19. twitter.com/CocaCola/statu…

My write up for @Forbes of the pre-print mouse work by @Aiims1742 and colleagues suggesting that under-investigation #COVID19 drug #Hydroxychloroquine may be particularly toxic in people on #metformin for #diabetes. forbes.com/sites/victoria…

Glad @NMRelleno made this point. I’ve been explaining the health disparity dimension of #COVID19, emphasizing high rates of #diabetes #HTN risk factors in African-American, Hispanic communities. She’s absolutely right about risk to #NativeAmerican communities twitter.com/NMRelleno/stat…

More information is needed on how #COVID19 is currently impacting #NativeAmerican communities. #epitwitter data is still limited but here's a map of the confirmed cases using data up to Apr 2 - data collected from @IndianCountry.

While everyone else hunts for toilet paper amid #COVID19, those with #diabetes have been forced into a different mission: scouring stores for the rubbing alcohol or alcohol swabs needed to manage their disease. From @LaurenWeberHP khn.org/MTA3NDExMQ

A member of the community could use your help! I have #type1diabetes & just want to see if many people with #diabetes are out of work with the #COVID19 for health & safety reasons or are people still working? Thanks in advance, Jessica 😊

Food as a Machine Gun, via @MrChuckD bit.ly/3dQJoGi #COVID19 will kill so many people because they have #diabetes induced by the junk food industry. And don't miss the book that inspired the song: Formerly Known as Food, by @kristinlawless bit.ly/344GAkf

(1/6) Lots of you have been asking whether you need to follow the shielding advice from the government. Here are the facts on shielding, and what it means for people with #diabetes.
