With 41% of the deaths in LA linked to diabetes, are they talking “uncontrolled” diabetics as is typical? Or are people like me equally fricked....

I can't quote you average HgA1c levels of the sickest patients.
All I can say is that I have not seen one person under 60 with moderately controlled DM2, otherwise healthy and not obese, per past medical records, that has gone on a vent.
To be safe, follow recs for social distancing. If you get sick, stay home. You don't need a fricking test. If you can't breath, come to ER.
