Abstract
The ongoing SARS-CoV2 pandemic is likely to adversely affect modifiable risk factors for diabetes because of the significant restriction of physical activity that is likely to worsen glycemic control in individuals with diabetes. Moreover, poor glycemic control itself may increase the severity of infection and mortality due to COVID-19. Limited physical activity, lack of nutritional reinforcement, infrequent physician visit and non-compliance to prescribed drugs is likely to worsen glycemic control during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review discusses practical pointers on how to improvise lifestyle measures including exercise, dietary patterns and stress management to improve overall glycemic control in people with diabetes.
