Research progress on diabetes patients combined with COVID-19 infection

Abstract

Abstract:

Diabetic patients are not only susceptible population to COVID-19 infection，but also prone to develop immune imbalance, excessive inflammatory responses, multi-organ dysfunction, and other complications after infection, resulting in complicated condition and a significantly increased risk of critical illness. Therefore, it requires more attention of clinicians. The article reviews the relevant domestic and international literatures and summarizes the mechanisms of abnormal glucose metabolism induced by COVID-19 infection, clinical characteristics of diabetes patients infected with COVID-19, and the principles of blood glucose management, to improve the clinical understanding and treatment success rate of such patients.

Key words:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,Diabetes mellitus,Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2,Cytokine storm
