- Abstract
Background: COVID-19 is no longer a global public health emergency, but it still affects numerous diseases and needs further research. Diabetic COVID-19 patients with major complications or intensive care had high mortality rates. This review provides pathophysiological descriptive data on diabetes mellitus type 2 and shows how COVID-19 infection in Saudi Arabia predicts disease severity and prognosis. Methods: This review was conducted through online research on MEDLINE/PubMed databases, Scopus, and Web of Science based on links between COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. By using the keywords 'COVID-19', 'diabetes', ' correlation', and impact on 'population' from December 2022 to February 2023. The full texts of the articles that were retrieved were accessed. Results: The COVID-19 epidemic has affected the community, especially diabetics, and their daily life. According to our research on prior studies, most COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia had diabetes as a comorbidity. Conclusions: We underline the necessity of thorough study to better understand COVID-19 and its association with diabetes to design and implement evidence-based initiatives and policies in Saudi Arabia, where diabetes is a major health issue.
