What are the risks of experiencing severity if you get COVID-19, what should diabetes patients do?

The risk of diabetes patients affected by COVID-19 experiencing severity is due to fluctuations in blood sugar levels and the possibility of other diabetes complications.

“Diabetes patients are reminded to be vigilant. Discipline in maintaining blood sugar levels must be increased. Do not overdo it so that complications do not occur,” he said.

During this pandemic, Roy continued, what is important for diabetes patients is to achieve the target of controlling blood sugar. The success parameters were HbA1c <7 percent, and fasting blood sugar levels <120 mg / dL.

Roy, said it was difficult to control everything. Therefore, do it with a target per target.

Roy, warned, if during the COVID-19 pandemic, diabetes patients could maintain blood sugar levels, this must be able to be maintained forever.

How to keep blood sugar levels stable will prevent patients from developing complications from a disease which is often called ‘diabetes’.
