We have always known that patients with diabetes are more likely to get infections, and they are usually more severe. The pandemic that we are just starting to emerge from has certainly proven that, as patients with diabetes were more likely to contract the coronavirus, more likely to be hospitalized, and more likely to die. This can be explained by the increased risk these patients have for respiratory diseases like pneumonia.
