Clinical Features and Changes in Insulin Requirements in People with Type 2 Diabetes Requiring Insulin When Hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 Infection by Antonella Corcillo, Aaisha Saqib, Niruthika Sithamparanathan, Amina Khanam, Jamal Williams, Abhiti Gulati, Dulmini Kariyawasam, Janaka Karalliedde

“…People requiring insulin were younger, had a higher preadmission HbA1c, were more frequently on oral medication for diabetes before the admission, and were more likely to be obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2), with p ≤ 0.001 for all. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, we observed that younger age and higher HbA1c before admission were independently associated with needing insulin, with one-year increase in age associated with decreased odds of needing insulin initiation (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83–0.99), and increasing preadmission HbA1c by 1 mmol/mol associated with an increased odds of insulin initiation (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.002–1.11) (p < 0.05 for both). …”
