COVID-19 is spreading rapidly around the world, and the number of related deaths is also increasing. In particular, diabetes patients have shown more severe conditions and a higher mortality rate related to COVID-19, and as no effective treatment or vaccine has been developed yet, efforts to prevent infection are very important. The most important steps to prevent infection are social distancing, wearing a mask and performing proper hand hygiene, and also telemedicine can be used to resolve the physical and psychological barriers to access to medical institutions for diabetes patients.
COVID-19 在全球范围内迅速传播,相关死亡人数也在增加。特别是糖尿病患者在感染 COVID-19 后表现出更严重的病情和更高的死亡率,而目前还没有有效的治疗方法或疫苗,因此预防感染非常重要。预防感染的最重要措施包括保持社交距离、佩戴口罩和进行适当的手部卫生,同时也可以利用远程医疗来解决糖尿病患者前往医疗机构的身体和心理障碍。
