Several reports showed the likelihood of a relationship between COVID-19 infection and the onset and prognosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) of all types. A 73-year-old female patient who presented to the clinic with respiratory symptoms and was tested positive for COVID-19 and treated for the next three days. Despite having neither a known history of hyperglycemia nor a family history of diabetes, she was unconscious and suffering from polyuria and polydipsia when she was brought to the emergency department. Once her condition was successfully stabilized, she was sent home with COVID-19 medications and oral anti-diabetic therapy. After subsequent viral recovery and continued anti-diabetic medication, the patient was monitored for the following seven months. DM might be linked to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further research is necessary to prove a relationship between COVID-19 and newly-onset diabetes.
多项报告显示了2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）感染与各类糖尿病（DM）的发病及预后之间存在关联的可能性。一名73岁女性患者因呼吸道症状前来就诊，COVID-19检测呈阳性，并接受了为期三天的治疗。尽管她既无已知的高血糖病史，也无糖尿病家族史，但被送往急诊科时已失去意识，且患有多尿和烦渴症状。病情成功稳定后，她带着COVID-19治疗药物和口服抗糖尿病疗法出院。在后续病毒康复及持续抗糖尿病药物治疗后，对该患者进行了七个月的监测。糖尿病可能与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）感染有关。有必要进行进一步研究以证实COVID-19与新发糖尿病之间的关系。
