COVID-19 infected more than seven million people Around the world so far, and new cases show daily. However, although many coronaviruses are still unknown and we know that it affects people differently - and is particularly dangerous for people with pre-existing conditions or compromised immune systems. For example, experts say thatObesity almost tripled the chances of the death of a CVIV-19 patient. And recent research indicates that diabetes, another common condition, kills some coronavirus patients in a week of hospitalization.

A French study published in the newspaperDiabetesMay 29 found that 10% ofPeople with diabetes that have been hospitalized for Covid-19 died Within seven days of being admitted. The study examined 1,317 people with diabetes that had been tested for COVID-19 and admitted to 53 French hospitals. Their conclusions have also shown that nearly one-third of these diabetic patients should be put on a fan.

And this is not the first time that diabetes has been linked to the gravity of coronavirus - a study of April found that people withDiabetes was four times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those without.

TheDiabetes The study identified several diabetes-related complications that contributed to the risk of death within seven days, including diabetic complications "hypertension, micro and macrovascular". He also followed if the patients also had other chronic diseases, such as heart failure or treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Among the patients studied, more than 11% had diabetes-related disorders, such as severe hyperglycemia, ketosis, ketoidosis, hypoglycemic events and severe anorexia. Other factors such as the Index of Age and Body Mass (BMI) have also played a game.

"Before studying [our], it was" all diabetics "are the same." Now we can certainly consider more precisely the risk, take age of age, sex, IMC, complications and [obstructive sleep apnea] as "very high-risk situations", "co-author"Samy Hadjadj, MD, PhD, saysMedical News Medscape.

"The elderly populations with long-term diabetes with advanced diabetic complications and / or a treated OSA have been particularly at risk of early death and require specific management to avoid contamination with SARS-COV-2", the study is bed. "The BMI also appears as an independent prognostic factor in the gravity of Covid-19 in the population living with diabetes, requiring admission to the hospital."
