Diabetes in COVID-19: Prevalence, pathophysiology, prognosis and practical considerations

Diabetes was considered a comorbidity during SARS-CoV-1. Similarly, having diabetes tripled the risk of hospitalization and quadrupled the risk of ICU admission during the Influenza A (H1N1) outbreak in 2009. During the 2012 outbreak of MERS-CoV, the mortality rate for patients with diabetes was a staggering 35%. Patients with diabetes who test positive for COVID-19 are more likely to experience severe disease.
