    Document: The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 is diverse, oscillating from mild flu-like symptoms to more severe outcome, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure, and death. Advanced age and comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, and history of cerebrovascular accidents are reported to have worse outcome. Chronic inflammation by cytokine storm and direct insult to pancreatic by COVID-19 might be postulated mechanisms of inducing or deteriorating diabetes. Individualized patient-centric treatment and optimal blood sugar control should be made based on disease severity, presence of comorbid condition, and complications related to diabetes, age, and other risk factors. Recent clinical trials have shown some hope to anti-interleukin antibody as a potential therapeutic option against COVID-19 especially in people with severe illness.
