Abstract

When ongoing research established the relationship between Covid-19 infection and diabetes mellitus, the interest of the clinicians and the anxiety of the patients increased. This evidence-based mini-review aims to determine whether or not patients with diabetes are more prone to getting infected with Covid-19 and how this affects their clinical outcomes. Among the reported Covid-19 cases, 6-14% outpatients, 16-25% inpatients, 32-58% ICU patients, and 31-42% cases with a mortal course had diabetes mellitus. The latest meta-analysis did not consider diabetes as a risk factor contributing to the increase in mortality of Covid-19 cases.
