Abstract

|
|
Diabetes is managed to keep the blood sugar in normal range. This involves liver as glucose metabolizing organ and sensitization of somatic cells to utilize this glucose for daily energy requirements. The management is subjected to the rhythmic glucose intake as diet and liver circadian cycles that runs parallel to this zeitgeber. COVID-19 patients having diabetes as comorbid condition face the challenges of inflammatory cytokine management along with the organization of glucose. Increased blood glucose level during the cytokine storm further aggravates the pathophysiology of COVID-19 patients leading to high morbidity and mortality in such patients. Clinical treatment of these patients requires multidimensional approach involving circadian variation of hepatic physiology, glucose intake, and inflammatory cytokine release.
