The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic on March 2020. Many patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection have underlying chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hypertension. Patient-related outcomes are worse if there are associated comorbidities. We do not have enough evidence regarding the most appropriate management of patients with diabetes during COVID-19 infection. Insulin resistance and CVD together increase the inflammatory state of the body, which can contribute to and perhaps mediate the increase of COVID-19 severity. Hence, in addition to management of dysglycemia, other CVD risk factors should be targeted. We explore the possible pathophysiologic links between diabetes and COVID-19 and discuss various options to treat dysglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia in the era of COVID-19.
2020 年 3 月,COVID-19 疫情被宣布为大流行。许多 SARS-CoV-2 感染患者存在糖尿病、心血管疾病(CVD)和高血压等潜在慢性医疗条件。如果存在相关合并症,患者相关结局则更差。我们针对 COVID-19 感染期间糖尿病患者的最佳管理方法,尚无足够的证据。胰岛素抵抗和 CVD 共同增加了机体的炎症状态,这可能导致 COVID-19 严重程度增加,并在其中发挥一定作用。因此,除了控制血糖异常,还应针对其他 CVD 风险因素进行治疗。我们探讨了糖尿病与 COVID-19 之间可能存在的病理生理联系,并讨论了在 COVID-19 时代治疗血糖异常、高血压和血脂异常的各种选择。
