The profound impact of COVID-19 on the control and care of diabetic patients: a comprehensive retrospective cohort study
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare systems globally, and the consequences on health and mortality were not only due to the direct impact of the virus, but also to the modifications in priorities. These interruptions in inconsistent care, had consequences for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes. Future strategic plans should be prepared and implemented to manage NCD cases in case of pandemics.
