Lack of type 1 diabetes involvement in SARS-COV-2 population: Only a particular coincidence?

In 1591 Italian subjects affected by SARS-COV-2, there was a prevalence of 17% of type 2 diabetes. In analogy to what has been shown in a Chinese population [2] and in another group of Italian subjects [3], surprisingly no cases with type 1 diabetes are apparently reported. This observation needs to be confirmed and further evaluated, for example in regions with high prevalence of the disease (Scandinavian, Finland or Sardinian), but there could be a number of reasons that justify a low incidence of SARS-COV-2 in subjects with type 1 diabetes.
