    Snippet: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses the interplay between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection), diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia in the hospital setting. There are data emerging about diabetes and hyperglycemia, their prevalence, and potential risks in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19. RECENT FINDINGS: It is known that viral infections exert effects on beta cell function and insulin resistance. Therefore, much can be learned about SARS-CoV-
    Document: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses the interplay between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection), diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia in the hospital setting. There are data emerging about diabetes and hyperglycemia, their prevalence, and potential risks in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19. RECENT FINDINGS: It is known that viral infections exert effects on beta cell function and insulin resistance. Therefore, much can be learned about SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 from examining these known relationships. Such pathophysiological underpinnings may unlock greater understanding as we navigate atypical cases of hyperglycemia, severe insulin resistance, and diabetic ketoacidosis amidst COVID-19. Glycemic outcomes likely have beneficial effects on morbidity and mortality, but this needs to be studied. SUMMARY: Changes in diabetes-related protocols and new technology can be deployed in the inpatient setting to potentially improve healthcare worker and patient safety; however, one must weigh the risks and benefits of implementation during a pandemic. Ultimately, knowledge and research must be shared at record speed to combat this global crisis.
