简要总结
Diabetes management and follow-up has become a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nation-wide lockdowns and social distancing measures adopted in an attempt to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission have significantly disrupted routine care and follow-up of diabetes. In the health sector, especially in low-income countries such as Pakistan, there has been a shift of resources and staff reassignment from stable chronic illnesses to support COVID-19 pandemic. Disruption of routine outpatient health services and travel restrictions increase the risk of worsening diabetes control and diabetes-related health outcomes. Additionally, social isolation amidst an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty contributes to stress further affecting glycaemic control.
