Why are diabetics more prone to complications from Swine flu?
It is more difficult for people with Diabetes to fight off infections in general. Often it is because of problems they have with circulation which doesn't let the body's natural defenses get to the place they are needed to fight against the germs fast enough, and doesn't let the blood carry off the dead germs and related proteins fast enough, putting a strain on the kidneys and liver. Diabetes can affect the health and function of most all body organs, so the Diabetics' bodies are not in a state to be performing their best to assist with the fight against the virus.
