Breve descrizione dei contenuti:
It is not true to conclude that there was no logical reason to die of diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic, as there are many SARS-CoV-2-realted factors that may have worsened the health of this particular population, including weakened immune response to the pathogen, pro-inflammatory state (up to the so-called “cytokine storm”), higher risk of developing life-threatening complications in these particularly vulnerable patients (especially pneumonia, ischemia of heart, brain and peripheral arteries), and disruption of access to medical care with higher risk of delays in treatment of hyper- or hypo-glycaemia.
