COVID-19 has been a devastating factor in the recent past times and its associated
comorbidities have been evolving over the last few years since the inception of the disease.
The emergence of COVID-19 has shed light on a potential link between the virus and the
development of new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM). The relationship between COVID-19
infection and the incidence of diabetes has garnered significant attention and it has been
bidirectional. This review article delves into relevant studies published up to March 2023 on
the incidence of diabetes post-COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 infection severity in
diabetes mellitus patients, exploring the risk factors and potential mechanisms underlying this
association, prevention, and management strategies to tackle the associated conditions.
