    AbstractIt has been well established that patients with diabetes who have COVID-19 have a more severe disease course and higher mortality. Providing adequate care for these patients has required hospitals to adapt protocols for monitoring blood glucose and administering therapy to protect both patient and caregiver safety. Inpatient use of continuous glucose monitoring systems or home-use glucose monitoring systems has provided options for reduced contact glucose monitoring. For therapy, protocols for managing hyperglycemia and diabetes ketoacidosis have been designed with less frequent monitoring and medication administration. Finally, telemedicine has allowed for consultative care in a manner not requiring physical proximity.Copyright © 2020 The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. All Rights Reserved.
