Pre-Existing Diabetes and COVID-Associated Hyperglycaemia in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and major outcomes of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia with COVIDassociated hyperglycaemia or pre-existing diabetes.

The management of type 2 diabetes before, during and after Covid-19 infection: what is the evidence?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a perspective based on their collective clinical experience on how best to manage glucose-lowering therapy as patients with Covid-19 recover from their disease and return to normal care and suggest that this may provide an opportunity to optimize treatment and counter clinical inertia that predates the pandemic.

COVID-19: Diabetes Perspective—Pathophysiology and Management

TL;DR: In this article , a systematic review is required to confirm diabetes as a complication in those patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia and 20-50% of these patients reported new-onset hyperglycemia without diabetes and new-onset diabetes, suggesting the two-way interactions between COVID19 and diabetes.

BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Does Not Impact the Honeymoon Phase in Type 1 Diabetes: A Case Report

TL;DR: The case of a 24-year-old young Italian man with T1D who received two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA (Pfizer-BioNTech) COVID-19 vaccine during a prolonged honeymoon phase experienced a transient impairment in glucose control that was not associated with substantial changes in stimulated C-peptide levels and islet autoantibody titers.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier simultaneously mitigates hyperinflammation and hyperglycemia in COVID-19

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) attenuates severe disease after influenza or SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

Dexamethasone in Hospitalized Patients with Covid-19

TL;DR: In patients hospitalized with Covid-19, the use of dexamethasone resulted in lower 28-day mortality among those who were receiving either invasive mechanical ventilation or oxygen alone at randomization but not among those receiving no respiratory support.
