Impact of COVID-19 on metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Publication date: Feb 03, 2025

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately affected individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), making them more susceptible to viral infections. Additionally, COVID-19 and the associated lockdown restrictions have influenced metabolic regulatory mechanisms in this population. This study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 infection and lockdown measures on physiological parameters in individuals with T2DM. This retrospective cohort study included 118 individuals with a prior diagnosis of T2DM. Medical records were reviewed for laboratory tests conducted within three months before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. Fifty-nine patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection during the first three months of the pandemic underwent follow-up laboratory tests six months post-diagnosis. An age- and gender-matched group of 59 noninfected individuals underwent follow-up tests six months after the pandemic’s onset. Clinical and laboratory parameters were analyzed and compared within each group. In the COVID-19 positive group, significant reductions were observed in triglycerides (TG) (P = 0. 001), total cholesterol (TC) (P = 0. 028), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0. 034), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) (P = 0. 027), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (P = 0. 001), and triglyceride-glucose-BMI (TyG-BMI) index (P
