Aims:
Diabetic patients are significantly stimulated by COVID-19 infection. The dreadful risk of COVID-19 mortality may be affected. In order to preserve precious lives, it is essential to comprehend how diabetes and COVID-19 are related, as well as how to manage diabetes. We aimed to focus on the mechanism, impact, and drug treatment of diabetes in COVID-19 patients.
Methods:
A comprehensive scrutiny of the published literature in diverse pharmaceutical and medical databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, DOAJ etc., were successfully conducted and classified accordingly.
Results:
We discussed the severity of COVID-19 in diabetes patients. A patient with diabetes has a higher risk of COVID-19 mortality by influencing the development and prognosis of the disease. The recommended drugs for diabetes treatment in COVID-19 may reduce COVID-19 mortality.
Conclusion:
Metabolic syndrome diabetes is a risk factor enhancing the development and diagnosis of COVID-19. In order to treat diabetic patients who have COVID-19 infection, insulin is preferable over oral hypoglycemic medications.
