Methods: This study was performed retrospectively on type 2 DM patients who were admitted to Ankara Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. 118 randomly selected patients were divided into 3 groups that were non-diabetic (Group 1), who received OAD therapy (Group 2), and those who received insulin therapy (Group 3).

Virüse yakalananların %20’sinde hiç bir hastalık belirtisi olmazken, %50’si hafif bulgularla geçirmektedir. Virüsü alanların %20’si hastane tedavisine ihtiyaç duymakta, hastaneye yatanların ortalama %5’i de kaybedilmektedir. Ülkelerin sağlık sistemlerine ve nüfus özelliklerine bağlı olarak öldürücülük oranları değişmekle birlikte mortalite %2,5 olarak bildirilmiştir. Henüz doğrudan virüse etki eden bir tedavi yoktur. Bu özelliklerle COVID 19 salgını tüm toplumu ve üretim süreçlerini de etkilemektedir, tedavisi / aşısı bulunana kadar da etkilemeye devam edecektir. Pandeminin kontrol altına alınması için en önemli faktör toplumsal yaşamın kısıtlanması hatta bir süre engellenmesidir.
