Abstract:
COVID-19 is a severe contagious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2
(Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2). From December
2019 to till now, this virus infection has spread very rapidly across
more than 160 countries in the world. Severity of acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus increases significantly in patient suffering from
diabetes. High proportion of patients suffering from the diabetes makes
it the major risk factor and an important comorbidity for the COVID-
19. Depending upon the global epidemiology, 20-50% of patients
reported with the COVID-19 are also diagnosed with the diabetes.
Considering the importance of linkage between severity of COVID-19
and diabetes, we aim to provide overview on the pathogenic linkage between diabetes and
corona virus infection, current therapeutic approaches available to manage the blood glucose
level to reduce the risk of death in COVID-19 patients.
