Article Synopsis
- The review commissioned by the WHO analyzes the latest research on how COVID-19 affects people with diabetes, focusing on their increased risk of severe illness and mortality from the virus.
- Data from 112 systematic reviews indicate that individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19, particularly those with higher blood glucose levels and type 1 diabetes.
- However, the review mentions limitations such as reliance on retrospective studies and a lack of data on whether diabetes increases the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2.
