Doctors at Barts Health NHS Trust in London are leading a national trial, offering patients with type 1 diabetes who develop Covid-19 the opportunity to take part in ground-breaking research of a new therapy that may help prevent the worst effects of coronavirus.

People living with diabetes face a significantly higher risk of dying with Covid-19.

As previously reported, almost one in three of all deaths from coronavirus among people in hospital in England during the Covid-19 pandemic have been associated with diabetes.

A follow-up NHS report confirmed that people living with diabetes are at a significantly increased risk if they get Covid-19 compared to people without the condition.

 
A good find that @Northerner

This "glucose kinase activator", could offer an option for those type 1 diabetics who haven't had a vaccine. I'd assume those who have been fully vaccinated won't be needing it.
