Are you finding a pattern with how your diabetic pts deteriorate?

Anecdotally, colleagues& I are seeing even young T2DM individuals where diabetes is not well controlled commonly suffer more severely/& more likely to deteriorate than otherwise expected.

What are you seeing?

Are you finding a pattern with how your HTN pts are coping with #COVID19?

Anecdotally, not yet seeing as much sn impact of uncontrolled HTN or pt taking the two at risk types of anti-HTN meds yet:
ACE inhibitors
Angiotensin receptor blockers

But are you seeing an impact?

Are you finding pattern w/ how your other chronic condition pt groups are coping #COVID19?

Anecdotally, asthma appears to be the only condition out of this group in which I've seen few more severe enough to considerED cases cf to rest of this pt group (but small sample size)

#GPs are you finding a pattern w/ how your frail pts *of any age* are coping with #COVID19?

Thus far, anecdotally seeing just older adults struggle more if frail.

My sample size of whom I attend to small, but less frail appear to be less severely affected

Who's more severe:

Lastly, (feel free to add yours to this thread pls) are you actually seeing an impact from BMI>40 as it is a risk factor referred to in reading avail resources.
