Recent studies showed that patients of chronic debilitating diseases such as diabetes are more liable to have COVID-19, so we will highlight some important tips that will be helpful for diabetic patients to avoid COVID-19 as well as proper management of blood glucose level during COVID-19 outbreak.

1. No one can deny that news of COVID-19 (especially mortality rates all over the world) are stressful, so doctors recommend close monitoring of blood glucose level as these stressful news could be a reason for disturbed levels of blood glucose.
2. Home self-quarantine is the best preventive method to avoid COVID-19, especially in old age and patients of chronic diseases. To stay at home away from COVID-19, be sure to have sufficient supplies of your medications, especially insulin and syringes.
