Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the caused disease - coronavirus. COVID-19 represents an unattended threat for health and life. In the present review we are addressing several hypotheses that may explain why diabetic patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are at higher risk of experiencing a severe form COVID-19 disease.
