Long-term glycemic levels predict the risk of COVID-19 severity among diabetics

People with type 2 diabetes who contract COVID-19 are nearly 50% more likely to wind up in intensive care if they have poorly managed their blood sugar levels over the long-term than those with better long-term glycemic control, according to a study using anonymized health care data.

What genes affect the COVID-19 gender imbalance?

Many studies have established that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is more infective in men than women, and men are more at risk of severe disease. While some have suggested that behavioral differences could explain increased transmission to men, this does not explain the more morbid prognosis.
