| We aim to briefly provide insight into potential mechanistic links between the novel coronavirus infection and diabetes, present practical management recommendations, and elaborate on the differential needs of several patient groups (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Glucose controls glucagon secretion by intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms, but their relative significance is still debated52, and secretory defects in type-2 diabetes are not well understood. The current work is first in using high-resolution microscopy to study glucagon secretion both in intact islets and in single dispersed α-cells of healthy and type-2 diabetic donors, thus isolating intrinsic from paracrine mechanisms while having full control over paracrine signaling (Nature Communications )
