Consensus for Management of hyperglycemia for COVID-19 patients

Abstract

The novel corona virus 2019 has been declared as world
pandemic by WHO on 11th March 2020 (2). Most people
with COVID 19, who have associated co-morbidities like
diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases
including heart failure, are significantly associated with
worse outcomes. There are many uncertainties regarding
the management of diabetes or elevated blood sugars in
patients presenting with COVID 19.
The objective of this consensus document is to create a
unified approach for diabetes management for use in
primary and specialist care; as well as in-patient and outpatient
treatment of the COVID-19 affected diabetic
patient.
