While T2D and its associated comorbidities have established themselves as risk factors for increased hospitalisation, requirement of intensive care, and mortality with COVID-19, early anecdotal reports from global infection hotspots suggested that children with diabetes had a similar disease pattern compared with children without diabetes (less severe manifestations than adults) [23, 24] . On the contrary, a large population cohort study assessing the risk of in-hospital death for individuals registered with a General Practice in England showed that people with T1D had 3•50 (3•15-3•89) odds of dying in hospital with COVID-19 compared with those without diabetes which was attenuated to 2•86 when also adjusted for previous hospital admissions with coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, or heart failure [14] . ./cache/cord-310159-l9hfmmbc.txt ./txt/cord-310159-l9hfmmbc.txt
