While we lack specific evidence about diabetes and COVID-19, leading medical experts say that individuals with well-managed diabetes are NOT at increased risk of developing COVID-19. Experts further say that if someone with well-managed diabetes does develop COVID-19, they are not necessarily <\/em>at higher risk of developing serious complications from the disease.\u00a0Those 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.\u00a0Stay 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) \u2013 but do not stop your insulin.<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n
