ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common comorbidities associated with COVID-19. Furthermore, people with type 2 diabetes infected with SARS-CoV-2 have higher hospitalization and mortality rates [1].
Most publications do not distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, so evidence relating to the spread of COVID-19 infection in type 1 diabetes is limited, but new data are emerging.
