اگرچہ ہمارے پاس ذیابیطس اور COVID-19 کے بارے میں مخصوص شواہد کی کمی ہے، سرکردہ طبی ماہرین کا کہنا ہے کہ اچھی طرح سے منظم ذیابیطس والے افراد کو COVID-19 ہونے کا خطرہ زیادہ نہیں ہوتا۔ ماہرین کا مزید کہنا ہے کہ اگر کوئی شخص اچھی طرح سے منظم ذیابیطس کے ساتھ کوویڈ 19 پیدا کرتا ہے، تو... necessarily at higher risk of developing serious complications from the disease. Those at greatest risk are people with consistently elevated blood sugar levels and those with a second chronic disease (such as heart disease, renal disease or lung disease)*. If you do develop COVID-19, we encourage you to follow the sick day management guidelines outlined in the handouts below. Stay hydrated. Test your blood sugar/monitor your CGM/FGM more often. Be prepared to check for ketones. Adjust your insulin doses as needed (you may need more). Consider stopping some of your medications (outlined below) – but do not stop your insulin.
