Рatients with diabetes have more complications and higher mortality from COVID-19. This is due to the fact that diabetes impairs the immune response. Hyperglycemia causes a violation of the immune response, which in turn cannot control the spread of pathogenic microorganisms and therefore patients with diabetes are more susceptible to infections. The purpose of the work ₋₋ analysis of bibliometric databases of literature on new developments in diabetes and COVID-19 and focused on clinical recommendations for patients with diabetes infected with COVID-19. The search methods included a literature review of scientific articles that studied diabetes and COVID-19.
According to the results of the analysis of the articles obtained as a result of the search in the PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, MedScape databases, a combination of the terms “diabetes and SARS-CoV-2”, “diabetes and COVID-19”, “pathogenesis of diabetes in case of COVID-19”, "pancreas", "clinical features", "diagnosis", "treatment", "clinical recommendations", we found 32 messages from 2020 to 2022. The main parameters of the study were outpatients and inpatients with diabetes and COVID-19 of middle and elderly age starting from 46 years
and up to 82 years of age in France, China, the USA, Great Britain, in which a nationwide, retrospective, populationbased study was conducted. The following concomitant diseases are included in the main studies: arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular diseases. Issues of pathogenetic mechanisms in DM and COVID-19, as well as management of patients with DM and COVID-19 are highlighted.
