    Snippet: Emerging data demonstrate that comorbid conditions and older age are contributing factors to COVID-19 severity in children. Studies involving youth with COVID-19 and diabetes are lacking. We report the case of a critically ill adolescent male with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and COVID-19 who presented with hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS).

Studies involving youth with COVID-19 and diabetes are lacking.
