Clinical Features and Changes in Insulin Requirements in People with Type 2 Diabetes Requiring Insulin When Hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

More than one-third of people with T2DM not previously treated with insulin required new insulin treatment when hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and of this group, 24% remained on insulin at 6 weeks after discharge. This study highlights the important variations of insulin requirements in people with T2DM new to insulin and the importance of a dedicated team for patient education and close follow-up.
