The post infection consequences of COVID-19 are only starting to be fully realized. Initially, studies indicated that patients with diabetes had a higher chance of serious complications from COVID-19. However, recent reports now suggest an increased risk of diabetes diagnosis after a COVID-19 infection. During this discussion of diabetes in the context of COVID-19, Dr. Kaufman will explain why hemoglobin A1c testing is even more important in today’s healthcare landscape, and will explore the hypotheses and pathophysiology behind this recent trend.

Key learning objectives

Understand the pathophysiology of diabetes
Learn how an infection or inflammation interacts with patients with diabetes
Discover how COVID-19 altered diabetes assessment and management
