Abstract

Diabetes has been identified as a risk factor for inpatient admission in persons with novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Managing patients with diabetes and COVID-19 is complicated by the use of steroid therapy as well as the immense inflammatory response seen in persons with COVID-19. Insulin management has been found to be the most effective therapy due to its ability for dose adjustment and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies using non-insulin therapies in the inpatient setting have been limited by small sample sizes. This chapter provides an overview of the inpatient care of those with diabetes and COVID-19.
