FAQs: Diabetes and Coronavirus
Are people with diabetes more likely to get Covid-19?
People with diabetes are not more likely to contract Covid-19 but maybe at a higher risk of developing severe complications if they get the virus. This is because their immune system is already weakened and any additional infection may harm their immunity further.
Are there any symptoms I should watch out for?
If you notice signs of a cold, cough or fever, we suggest contacting your doctor. Prior to calling your doctor, note down your glucose reading, fluid consumption and any questions you may want to ask your doctor.
When should I come to the Emergency at the hospital?
You should come into the Emergency at Sitaram Bhartia in case you experience any of these signs:
- Difficulty in breathing
- Chest pain
- Lips or face turning blue

Conditions Treated
At Sitaram Bhartia Hospital, we have an integrated approach to treatments for the following conditions –
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is a lifelong condition usually diagnosed at a young age where the body produces little or no insulin. This insulin-deficiency means the body cannot let glucose into the cells, so sugar builds up in the bloodstream and causes complications.
Treatment for diabetes is focused on keeping the blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible to prevent these complications. We guide you on areas such as insulin-intake and blood sugar monitoring at our consultations.
