Article Synopsis
- People with diabetes are twice as likely to die from influenza compared to those without medical conditions, but the reasons for this increased risk are not well understood.
- Research shows that glycemic variability—fluctuations in blood sugar levels—may contribute to more severe influenza symptoms and increased cell death in lung tissue.
- These findings suggest that maintaining stable blood glucose levels could be important for diabetes patients, especially during flu season, to potentially reduce their risk of severe influenza.
