Objective: Although type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported as a risk factor for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the effect of pharmacologic agents used to treat T2DM, such as metformin, on COVID-19 outcomes remains unclear. Metformin increases the expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, a known receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Data from people with T2DM hospitalized for COVID-19 were used to test the hypothesis that metformin use is associated with improved survival in this population. Methods: Retrospective analyses were performed on de-identified clinical data from a major hospital in Wuhan, China, that included patients with T2DM hospitalized for COVID-19 during the recent epidemic. One hundred and thirty-one patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and T2DM were used in this study. The primary outcome was mortality. Demographic, clinical characteristics, laboratory data, diabetes medications, and respiratory therapy data were also included in the analysis. Results: Of these 131 patients, 37 used metformin with or without other antidiabetes medications. Among the 37 metformin-taking patients, 35 (94.6%) survived and 2 (5.4%) did not survive. The mortality rates in the metformin-taking group versus the non-metformin group were 5.4% (2/37) versus 22.3% (21/94). Using multivariate analysis, metformin was found to be an independent predictor of survival in this cohort ( P = .02). Conclusion: This study reveals a significant association between metformin use and survival in people with T2DM diagnosed with COVID-19. These clinical data are consistent with potential benefits of the use of metformin for COVID-19 patients with T2DM.

The association of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) insertion-deletion (I/D) polymorphism with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension has been extensively studied throughout various ethnic populations but largely with inconsistent findings. We investigated these associations in Emirati population and their interaction with obesity status. Saliva samples were collected from a total of 564 Emiratis (277 T2DM and 297 healthy). DNA was extracted and the samples were genotyped forACEI/D polymorphism by a PCR based method followed by gel electrophoresis. Upon evaluation of theACEI/D polymorphism amongst all T2DM, hypertensive patients, and respective controls regardless of obesity status,ACEDD genotype was not found to be associated with either T2DM [odds ratio (OR) = 1.34,p=0.086] or hypertension [odd ratio (OR) = 1.02,p=0.93]. When the genetic variants amongst the nonobese and obese population were analyzed separately, the risk genotypeACEDD conferred significantly increased risk of hypertension in nonobese population [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80,p=0.02] but was found to be protective against the hypertension in the obese group ((OR) = 0.54,p=0.01). However, there was no effect of obesity status on the association ofACEgenotypes with T2DM. The risk of hypertension associated withACEDD is modulated by obesity status and hence future genetic association studies should take obesity into account for the interpretation of data. We also confirmed thatACEI/D polymorphism is not associated with T2DM risk in Emirati population.
