A huge proportion of diabetic patients in our nation are poorly managed, putting them at a higher risk of complications such as ICCU admission, infection, and the need for a ventilator. Covid-19 has the potential to exacerbate diabetes and further aggravate the condition.
Obesity raises the likelihood of Covid-19 problems significantly. Diabetics who are overweight make up a large percentage of the population. The route to rehabilitation is complicated by a patient’s complex combination of diabetes, obesity, and Covid-19.
Glucose monitoring should be done on a regular basis. While illness can raise blood sugar, a poor diet puts the patient at risk of low blood sugar. If the patient is being treated at home, it is critical to monitor blood sugar on a frequent basis.
If the patient is on a Sulfonylurea such as Glimeperide, Gliclazide, or Glipizide, they will need to be monitored often, particularly if they are unable to eat well. Severe hypoglycemia can be caused by a poor diet. To control their illness and minimize complications, people with diabetes require constant care and assistance.
