View expert presentations on point-of-care testing for diabetes and in the context of COVID-19

Learning Objectives

Diabetes patients are more likely to experience severe complications and higher mortality if they contract COVID-19, especially those with poorly managed diabetes. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]

  • Point-of-care testing for HbA1c aids in achieving improved glycemic control with just one single office visit. [11] [12] [13]
  • Despite the viral origin of COVID-19, a standard reflex by physicians is to start treatment with antibiotics since cough, fever, and radiologic infiltrates are hallmarks of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia which requires antibiotic treatment. [14]
  • The detection of CRP is of certain value to distinguish whether there is bacterial infection in the lung. [15]
  • CRP may reflect disease severity and may be an independent predictor of adverse outcome in COVID-19 patients. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20]
  • Antibiotics should be reserved for the patients with the most severe presentations. [14]
  • Avoid blind or inappropriate use of antibacterial drugs, especially the combination of broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs. [15]
