Paciente femenino de 70 años de edad con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 e infección por Sars Cov 2.

Diabetes mellitus is a complex and multifactorial chronic disease, characterized by the alteration in the metabolism of glucose, fats and proteins. Often, patients who suffer from it have hyperglycemia and, in addition, coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death. Comorbidities associated with diabetes are: overweight and obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia and, in some patients, peripheral vascular disease, kidney damage, neuropathy and retinopathy. Chronic lack of control of the disease is associated with an increased susceptibility to infections, which generally occur with few symptoms, although hyperglycemia is usually magnificent, which worsens the course of infections. Since December 2019, when the disease caused by one of the coronaviruses (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2), which has been called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was identified, there have been some reports that associate the presence of diabetes with an increased risk of mortality. There have been some proposals for pathophysiological mechanisms to try to explain this special evolution in patients with diabetes. Given the presence of coronavirus disease 2019 in our country and an important group of high-risk patients, a review of the pathophysiology and management considerations of this association is presented.
