A group of endocrinologists has recently published a series of recommendations for people with diabetes, and other hormone disorders, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They say that doctors should pay special attention to this group. The new article is the result of a collaboration between three experts in endocrine disorders, including diabetes.
It begins by stating: “In our professional lives, we have not witnessed a healthcare crisis of this magnitude and severity.” The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything that most people have ever seen.
It presents unique challenges to doctors working to treat high risk groups, such as those with existing respiratory conditions and those whose immune systems are compromised.
