My understanding is that high blood sugar impedes the immune system. So, the better your blood sugar is controlled, the better off you will be.

That's what I understood also. I've spent tremendous amount of time understanding my diabetes, and your comment here validated my assumption in the case of CoV.

It's still quite scary to see how diabetics have a very high risk with the virus. Luckily the treatment I get with my closed loop gives me an easy access to excellent control.
