Abstract

This case report presents a case of a 51-year-old male patient who was found to be diabetic after recovering from COVID-19. Case Presentation: The patient was admitted to the COVID care center after testing positive for COVID-19 on November 2020. After spending one week in intensive care and ten days in the isolation ward of the COVID care center, he continued to feel multiple side effects. After fifteen days, he began showing signs of recovery and had no fever or other symptoms of COVID-19. The third SARS-Cov-2 RNA by RT-PCR sample test was also found to be negative. He was shifted to a non- COVID hospital when he became stable. For COVID-19, he was treated with supplementary oxygen therapy by keeping his oxygen level at 5L/min with titrating flow rate SpO2 of more than 90%. The hydroxychloroquine 400 mg orally BD for two days, followed by 200 mg orally BD for four days with a combination of azithromycin 500 mg orally OD for five days, was prescribed to him to treat COVID-19. Conclusion: According to the report "New-onset diabetes in COVID-19," published in the New England Journal of Medicine, there is a bidirectional relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes.
