Abstract

The study sought to examine the effects of COVID 19 on the hospitalization rate among diabetic people in Brazil. The study made conclusions based on the findings from the previous studies. The study findings indicated that People with diabetes are more likely to have severe complications from COVID-19. People with diabetes are more likely to have symptoms and complications when infected with any virus, but COVID 19 has been extreme. Individuals with persistent diseases like diabetic Mellitus, weight problems, hypertension, or cardiovascular cases are the most affected by COVID-19. Diabetic Mellitus is a severe problem that requires self-management and more disciplinary attention that consists of regular care to diet, exercise, blood sugar management and use of drugs. It is concluded that Patients with diabetes have been greatly affected by the COVID-19. The hospitalization rate has been high among patients that have diabetes. COVID-19 pandemic has led to health service modification and temporary disruption of the routine care provided to patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in primary care. This is done to minimize outpatient visits, permit physical distancing, and ensure patients' and healthcare providers' safety. The study recommended that different measures to prevent COVID-19 are crucial for individuals with diabetes. People with diabetes need regular blood sugar management and compliance with ongoing medication, even when it comes to COVID-19 infection. It is important to remember that people with either type of diabetes can vary in age, their complications, and how well they have managed their diabetes. The government needs guidelines to guarantee accessibility to medicines and healthcare services among diabetic patients.
