COVID-19 Lockdown Periods in 2020: Good Maintenance of Metabolic Control in Adults with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
We presented these outcomes as adjusted medians with
95% confidence intervals. Rates were compared using negative-binomial
models, dichotomous outcomes were compared using logistic models. Models were
additionally adjusted for age and diabetes duration. These outcomes were
presented as least-square means with 95% confidence intervals, p-values
of<.05 were considered significant.In participants with T1DM, CGI (combined glucose indicator) increased only by
0.11–0.12% in all time periods of 2020 compared to 2019 (all
p<0.001) while BMI decreased slightly by −(0.09–0.10)
kg/m² (p<0.0001). In participants with T2DM, HbA1c
increased by 0.12%, while BMI decreased slightly by
−(0.05–0.06) kg/m² (p<0.0001).During the COVID-19 lockdown period, patients with T1DM and T2DM experienced only
clinically insignificant changes in glucose control or body weight. Despite
lockdown restrictions, patients were able to maintain metabolic control. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | Full text
