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

“…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). Of the 39 people with T2DM who required insulin as a new treatment, 28% remained on insulin at the time of discharge with their insulin dose falling from 1.26 U/kg within the first 7 days of admission to 0.39 U/kg at discharge. …”
