TLDR
Evidence suggests that insulin and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors can be used safely in patients with diabetes mellitus and COVID-19; metformin and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors might need to be withdrawn in patients at high risk of severe disease.Abstract:
Initial studies found increased severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), in patients with diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, COVID-19 might also predispose infected individuals to hyperglycaemia. Interacting with other risk factors, hyperglycaemia might modulate immune and inflammatory responses, thus predisposing patients to severe COVID-19 and possible lethal outcomes. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which is part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is the main entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2; although dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) might also act as a binding target. Preliminary data, however, do not suggest a notable effect of glucose-lowering DPP4 inhibitors on SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility. Owing to their pharmacological characteristics, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors might cause adverse effects in patients with COVID-19 and so cannot be recommended. Currently, insulin should be the main approach to the control of acute glycaemia. Most available evidence does not distinguish between the major types of diabetes mellitus and is related to type 2 diabetes mellitus owing to its high prevalence. However, some limited evidence is now available on type 1 diabetes mellitus and COVID-19. Most of these conclusions are preliminary, and further investigation of the optimal management in patients with diabetes mellitus is warranted.read more

TL;DR: Exenatide had positive effects on practically defined off-medication motor scores in Parkinson's disease, which were sustained beyond the period of exposure, and effects on everyday symptoms should be examined in longer-term trials.

TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that IBTs may favorably alter the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to their inherent mechanisms of action, and further research into prognostic variables associated with various antidiabetic treatment regimens, and in particular the IBT, is warranted.

TL;DR: Ex vivo experiments showed in an in vivo animal model that endogenous expression levels of ACE2 and the Mas receptor were upregulated in mouse pancreata in late embryogenesis, suggesting that a Mas receptor-mediated mechanism may stimulate pancreatic cell development.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the volume status should be comprehensive; therefore, the presence of signs of volume overload such as lower limb edema, lung Edema, and severe hypoxemia should be considered beside the usual indices for fluid responsiveness.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors can inhibit angiotensin converting enzyme
TL;DR: It seems that some DPP-4 inhibitors could inhibit ACE and partially explain the cardio-renal effects of these drugs, and further studies are required to determine if such inhibition could take place in the clinical settings.

Chloroquine inhibits glucose-transporter recruitment induced by insulin in rat adipocytes independently of its action on endomembrane pH.
TL;DR: It is concluded that GLUT4 resides in an intracellular compartment devoid of H+ pumps, and the insertion of this compartment into the plasmalemma is not regulated by transmembrane pH gradients.
