Abstract

Objective: Novel COVID-19 virus is extensively being studied for its long-term effects. A predominant trend of development of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Covid-19 patients is being observed, and hence further relation is explored in this study.

Methods: This is an observational inductive retrospective study conducted for four months in a tertiary care hospital. The study included subjects who recovered from COVID-19 and were treated post-COVID-19 in the hospital. The subjects who had stable glucose counts were excluded. The data obtained from the medical record department encompassed demographic details and clinical data of the patient. The data were tabulated, and observations were reported using descriptive analysis.

Results: Among 5632 admitted patients for COVID-19, 694 came for follow-up. 105 patients were re-admitted, but 11 had newly developed DM, and 14 observed uncontrolled DM managed by medical attention. The reported incidence rate in Newly-Diagnosed DM was 0.195%, and the person above 41 y was at greater risk. Similarly, the incidence rate in Uncontrolled-DM was 13.33%, and persons above 47 y were at greater risk. It was found that both these categories of patients had comorbidities, and the development of this was seen between the 25th-40th day. In both cases, males were more prone than females.

Conclusion: The study reports a bi-directional relationship between Covid-19 and DM. The use of steroids may have stepped-up this relationship. Cautious use of steroids, changes in the hospital formulary, and further quantitative clinical investigations are primary recommendations that may prevent such episodes.
