The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing exponentially globally, with 90% of the confirmed cases being type 2 DM. The global incidence of DM is expected to increase by 48% during 2017-2045. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to have a massive impact on human health, causing sudden lifestyle changes through quarantine measures, such as lockdown, social distancing, various curfews, and isolation at home. This in turn might increase the risk of developing numerous chronic diseases, such as DM, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, which increase the severity of COVID-19. To this end, we performed a comprehensive review to determine viable measures for the prevention of DM and its subsequent upsurge globally. Additionally, we have determined strategies that should be adopted globally to ensure a healthy lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic and later.
全球糖尿病(DM)的发病率呈指数级增长,确诊病例中90%为2型糖尿病。预计2017年至2045年期间,全球糖尿病发病率将增长48%。2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行继续对人类健康产生巨大影响,通过封锁、社交距离、各种宵禁和居家隔离等检疫措施导致生活方式突然改变。这反过来可能会增加患多种慢性病的风险,如糖尿病、肥胖症和心血管疾病,而这些疾病会增加COVID-19的严重程度。为此,我们进行了全面综述,以确定在全球范围内预防糖尿病及其随后激增的可行措施。此外,我们还确定了在COVID-19大流行期间及之后全球应采取的战略,以确保健康的生活方式。
