Coronavirus and Diabetes

There are many coronaviruses, reaching from the common cold to much more serious viruses for example Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). They are viruses that have been transferred from animals to people. In more cases, coronaviruses can cause infection in the lungs (pneumonia), kidney failure and even death.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with chronic medical disorders like diabetes are at higher risk of getting very sick from this infection.

When persons with diabetes develop a viral infection, it can be harder to treat due to variations in blood glucose levels and maybe the presence of diabetes complications. There appear to be two reasons for this. Firstly, the resistant system is compromised, creating it harder to fight the virus and likely leading to a longer recovery period. Furthermore, the virus may increase in an environment of raised blood glucose. That’s why it is more important for you to take actions to reduce your risk of getting sickening with the infection.
