Abstract

Patients with type 2 diabetes and other related health problems, such as obesity or kidney disease, may have a high risk of severe COVID-19. Severe COVID-19 can lead to a hospital stay, breathing support by machine, and even death. Patients and their health providers want to know how to manage diabetes to reduce these risks. With this enhancement, the research team will look at whether people with high blood sugar have a higher risk of a hospital stay. The team will also compare rates of COVID-19 hospital stays for people who take different diabetes medicines. Results will help patients and their providers manage and treat diabetes during the pandemic.
