“Considering that people with diabetes had much higher risk for death and various complications, and there are no specific drugs for COVID-19, our findings indicate that controlling blood glucose well may act as an effective auxiliary approach to improve the prognosis of patients with COVID-19 and preexisting diabetes,” the study found.

Meanwhile, those with well-managed T2D also received fewer medical interventions including supplemental oxygen and/or ventilation and had fewer health complications.
