Blood Glucose Control Strategy for Type 2 Diabetes Patients With COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus has spread all over the world affecting tens of millions of people. Another pandemic affecting the modern world, type 2 diabetes mellitus is among the major risk factors for mortality from COVID-19. Current evidence, while limited, suggests that proper blood glucose control may help prevent exacerbation of COVID-19 even in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Under current circumstances where the magic bullet for the disease remains unavailable, it appears that the role of blood glucose control cannot be stressed too much. In this review the profile of each anti-diabetic agent is discussed in relation to COVID-19.

Project description:IntroductionPeople with diabetes are at a higher risk for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and hence are prioritized for vaccination. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of COVID-19 vaccination on blood glucose control in Arabic people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Secondary aim was to compare the responses between the two vaccines approved for use in Kuwait.MethodThis retrospective study compared ambulatory glucose metrics, using a continuous glucose monitoring device, measured for 14 days before, and 7 days and 14 days after, the first and second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Arabic people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). We also explored possible links with vaccine type and other clinical characteristics. Glucose metrics calculated were time in range (TIR, 3.9-10 mmol/L), time above range (TAR, 10.1- 13.9 mmol/L or >13.9 mmol/L), time below range (TBR, 3- 3.9 mmol/L or <3 mmol/L) and glucose variability (CV).ResultsWe enrolled 223 participants in the study. Over the 7 days period after the first vaccination dose there was a decrease in TIR (mean difference (SD) -1.9% ± 14.8%; p = 0.05) and increase in TAR >10 mmol/L (2.2% ± 15.9%; p = 0.04), with no effects on TBR. These effects were not seen after the second dose or 14 days after either dose. There was a decrease in CV over the 7 days period after the first (-1.2% ± 7.4%; p = 0.02) and second vaccine doses (-1.1% ± 6.9%; p = 0.03), with no effects noted 14 days after either dose. In subgroup analysis similar effects on TIR and TAR were also seen in those who had received the viral vector-based vaccine, but not the mRNA-based vaccine, although the decrease in CV was seen in those who had received the mRNA based vaccine but not the viral vector-based vaccine.ConclusionWe found a temporary impairment in glucose control in the first 7 days, particularly among individuals receiving viral vector vaccines. The group receiving mRNA vaccine was likely to experience an increase in glucose levels above the target range. However, the temporary change in metrics appears to return to pre-vaccination levels after one-week post-vaccination. The effects on glycemic parameters were more neutral after the second dose.
