COVID-19 and diabetes are both pandemics with major impacts on global public health. While the response to COVID-19 has been rapid and progressive to reduce risk of harm, the response to the diabetes pandemic has been somewhat more muted. People with diabetes have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, with growing evidence of higher mortality and morbidity. In this article, we discuss the impact of COVID-19 on our diabetes service in an urban area in the UK. We discuss the impact on our patients and ourselves, and the possible lessons we can carry into the future.
新冠病毒和糖尿病都是对全球公共卫生有重大影响的大流行病。虽然针对新冠病毒的反应迅速而积极，以降低伤害风险，但针对糖尿病大流行的反应则有些迟缓。糖尿病患者受到新冠病毒的影响不成比例，越来越多的证据表明死亡率和发病率更高。在本文中，我们讨论了新冠病毒对我们在英国一个城市地区的糖尿病服务的影响。我们讨论了它对我们的患者和我们自己的影响，以及我们未来可以吸取的经验教训。
