TL;DR: Among hospitalized patients with COVID-19, diabetes was associated with poor early outcomes, after adjustment for obesity, and these findings can help inform patient-centered care decision making for people with diabetes at risk for CO VID-19.

TL;DR: The proportion of adults with diabetes in LMICs who receive coverage of recommended pharmacological and non-pharmacological diabetes treatment and country-level and individual-level characteristics that are associated with treatment are estimated to be fewer than one in ten.

TL;DR: LMICs included in this analysis may be at an advanced stage in the nutrition transition but with no reversal in the socioeconomic gradient of diabetes risk, in contrast to the association seen in high-income countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified all countries in which a WHO Stepwise Approach to Surveillance (STEPS) survey had been done during a year in which the country fell into an eligible World Bank income group category.

TL;DR: Social vulnerability contributes considerably to the probability of hospitalization among individuals with COVID-19 and diabetes with associated comorbidities, and these findings can inform mitigation strategies for populations at the highest risk of severe CO VID-19.
