Letter from the Editor
 For the past 6 months, we have heard how patients with diabetes have an increased risk of getting COVID-19, and how the symptoms will be much worse, and diabetes patients are at increased risk for death, from COVID-19 complications. Now there are a group of medical professionals who feel that the coronavirus increases the complications of diabetes, regardless of the respiratory or cardiovascular complications. They have started the CoviDIAB Registry to explore why COVID-19 can increase complications in people with pre-existing diabetes, and cause the development of diabetes.
To learn if you should register your patients on this registry, and why you should look closer at positive patients, click here.
