Post Covid Diabetes & Associated Complications: Newer Therapies Available for its Management: A Review

https://doi.org/10.37285/ijpsn‐aktu.2022‐12Abstract
An anticipated 216 million cases of 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) have been confirmed, with 4.49 million deaths. The development of diabetes and its associated consequences have been described in persons with and without a family history of the disease. Some researchers have found that focusing on wearable technology is the most effective strategy for spotting cases of newly diagnosed diabetes. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a flurry of activity as scientists sought for the virus's distinguishing characteristics in the hope of developing a treatment or vaccine. The reported high frequency of infections in people with diabetes mellitus is one of the difficulties and challenges that have surfaced (DM). Patients with COVID-19 often suffer from other conditions, with diabetes ranking second to hypertension. COVID-19-related infectious illness has evolved into a major international health concern. Patients with diabetes and their doctors faced a formidable obstacle during the COVID-19 epidemic. Better patient- provider communication may aid in treating diabetes in this era of social distance, isolation, and quarantine. Patients with diabetes need specialized treatment due to the correlation between their condition and more severe symptoms and consequences. Most modern chronic illnesses, including diabetes mellitus, are controllable by a combination of medical treatment and dietary improvements. Adults over 65 have an increased risk of developing and living with diabetes-related complications. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with diabetes may be at a higher risk of infection, serious complications, and even death. A patient's risk for problems after a diabetes diagnosis may rise if their viremia is already high, immunologic deregulation, pulmonary and endothelial, and increased systemic coagulation.
