Diabetes and the Outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19): A Critical Review

Context: 

In the last few years, humanity has faced one of the most twisted pandemics in history. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people’s lives during its outbreak, especially on people with underlying diseases such as diabetes. This study reviewed diabetes care during the COVID-19 outbreak to facilitate diabetes management during the coronavirus outbreak and promote the survival of these patients in this global pandemic.

 This work was done as a study on diabetes and coronavirus. Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched on January 20, 2021.

 Studies demonstrated that diabetes is not the leading cause of comorbidity or ultimate cause of mortality or morbidity of COVID-19 disease, as mentioned above.

 This review study concluded that with the peak of the coronavirus, diabetes management is critical. Besides, providing conditions to maintain the health of diabetic patients by informing them and communicating effectively with healthcare personnel is of great importance.
