Diabetes mellitus can increase the risk of death in COVID-19 by 12 times, according to the portal of the us Centers for disease control and prevention. Coronavirus-infected diabetics are six times more likely to need inpatient treatment, and diabetes is the second most severe complication in COVID-19 after cardiovascular diseases. The state of carbohydrate metabolism in patients with COVID-19 has not been sufficiently studied in clinical studies. Isolated studies indicate that viral infection may be accompanied by an increase in the concentration of glycated hemoglobin in patients with viral pneumonia. To assess the frequency of hyperglycemia and diagnosis of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus in patients with COVID-19 and acute lung damage aged 41–80 years, who were hospitalized in a repurposed infectious diseases hospital in Moscow with a diagnosis of pneumonia. In the observational study analyzed laboratory and clinical diagnostic data of 278 patients who had, according to the anamnesis and the medical conclusions of impaired glucose tolerance and manifested forms of diabetes, including 163 men and 115 women, aged 41–80 years, admitted to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in the period from 12.04.2020 on 10.11.2020 of diagnoses according to ICD-10: U07.1 Coronavirus infection. In the selected groups of patients, the initial and subsequent fasting blood glucose levels were analyzed after 8 hours without food intake on a stationary automatic analyzer and using portable glucose, meters using diagnostic test strips. The concentration of glucose and ketones in the urine was determined by a semi-quantitative method. We evaluated the dynamics of indicators when detecting pathological values of glucose concentration. Glucose levels above 6.4 mmol/l were taken as pathological. In patients aged 41–80 years who were hospitalized with covid-19 infection and pneumonia, fasting hyperglycemia was diagnosed in 31–47%, glucosuria in 1.9–6.1%, ketonuria – 20.4-46.2% of cases, in different age groups. In 16.6–31.3% of cases in patients with covid-19,after treatment and regression of changes in the lungs, normalization of glucose levels was observed, but in 14.8–16.7% of the changes persisted, and in 9–13% of them, after an additional study, newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus was diagnosed. Hyperglycemia was significantly more often detected in patients with arterial hypertension of 2–3 degrees of severity and with a tendency to reliability, in patients with obesity of 2–3 degrees. Lipid metabolism disorders (hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia), which are characteristic of changes in carbohydrate metabolism in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, were significantly more often diagnosed in patients with covid-19 than in the group of patients with acute and chronic lung pathology without proven infection with this virus, but only in the group of patients aged 41–60 years. Covid-19 infection complicated by pneumonia occurs in individuals aged 41–80 years with a high incidence of hyperglycemia and ketonuria. The incidence of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus in such patients is 9–13%.

SummaryThe aim of the study is to investigate the serum levels of adipokines-resistin and visfatin in patients with metabolic syndrome. A prospective study was performed, including 153 (103 female, 50 male) subjects with metabolic syndrome. Carbohydrate metabolism was estimated by oral glucose tolerance test with 75g of glucose. Of the subjects investigated, 40 were with normal glycaemic tolerance, 40 - with impaired fasting glycaemia, 28 - with impaired glucose tolerance and 45 - with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2. The results were compared to those in a control group of 20 subjects without findings indicating metabolic syndrome. The serum levels of resistin and visfatin were measured with an enzyme immunoassay method (ELISA, BioVendor Laboratory Medicine, Inc., Czech Republic). There were significant differences in body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, plasma level of blood glucose and serum level of triglycerides between the examined subjects with metabolic syndrome, as compared with the control group. The amount of serum resistin in subjects with metabolic syndrome and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 was significantly higher, as compared to the controls. Subjects with metabolic syndrome and pathological glucose tolerance-impaired fasting glycaemia, impaired glucose tolerance and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 were found with a significantly higher serum level of visfatin, as compared to normal glucose tolerance and to the controls. Subjects with metabolic syndrome and pathological glucose tolerance-impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance and newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus type 2 exhibited significantly changes in serum levels of adipokines-resistin and visfatin.

Abstract Background: To assess the association between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-h post challenge plasma glucose (2h-PCPG) as continuous or categorical variables with risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) and incident diabetes among subjects with history of previous CVD. Methods: In a prospective population-based cohort, a total of 335 Iranians aged ≥30 years, with history of CVD and free of known diabetes were included. Prediabetes was defined as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) [IFG-ADA; FPG: 5.6-6.9 mmol/L], the World Health Organization (WHO) expert group (IFG-WHO; FPG: 6.1-6.9 mmol/L) and impaired glucose tolerance [IGT: 2h-PCPG: 7.8-11.0 mmol/L]. Cox’s proportional hazard models adjusted for traditional risk factors were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of different glucose intolerance for outcomes of interest. Results: During a median follow-up of 15.8 (IQR, 10.7-16.5) years, 178 CVD (hard event including death, myocardial infarction and stroke=69) events occurred. Regarding FPG, only IFG-ADA was associated with significant higher risk of hard CVD in the fully adjusted model (HR, 1.73, 95% CI: 1.04-2.89). Moreover, newly diagnosed diabetes (FPG≥7 mmol/L) was an independent risk of CVD (2.11: 1.22-3.66). Focusing on 2h-PCPG, subjects with newly diagnosed diabetes (2h-PCPG ≥ 11.1 mmol/L) had moderately increased risk of hard coronary heart disease (2.02:0.91-4.47, P=0.08). The multivariate HRs (95% CI) associated with 1 SD increase in FPG and 2h-PCPG was 1.16 (1.01–1.33) and 1.19 (1.02–1.38) for CVD, respectively. Among population free of diabetes at baseline (n=270), IFG-ADA, IFG-WHO and IGT were significantly associated with incident diabetes in multivariate analysis (all HRs > 4, P< 0.001); significant associations were also found for FPG and 2h-PCPG as continuous variables (all HRs for 1-SD increase > 2, all P < 0.001). Conclusions: Among subjects with stable CVD, both FPG and 2h-PCPG as continuous variables was associated with higher risk of recurrent CVD. However, only IFG-ADA was independent predictor of hard CVD events. Also, newly diagnosed diabetes, using FPG criteria, was associated with a significant risk of CVD. IFG-ADA, IFG-WHO and IGT were all significant predictors of incident diabetes.
