@JaneHewitt Hello JaneHewitt, thank you for creating this discussion. I think many members may also be worrying about the virus. If you haven't already seen it, we published an article that tries to address some of the questions and concerns chronic patients may have concerning the coronavirus here:
Coronavirus and Chronic Illness
And for your question concerning high blood pressure, this article may be of help: Coronavirus and Hypertension 
Hello members, I hope you don't mind that I've tagged you. Are any of you also worried about COVID-19? What are you doing to protect yourself? Do you have any advice for Jane?

Hello all,
I hope you're doing well.
If you haven't seen it already, we've just published an article summarising information about COVID-19 and diabetes our Scientific Committee shared with us during their latest meeting. It's very informative and explains the current understanding of the link between diabetes and COVID-19: COVID-19 and diabetes: Interconnected pandemics?
How are you holding up in lockdown? Have any of you experienced COVID-19? If so, what kinds of symptoms did you have? How are you doing now?

Feel free to share your experiences here, your voice is important!
Take care,
Courtney
