Abstract
La eclosión de la pandemia por COVID-19 supone un reto de enormes dimensiones, y la gran presencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 en la población actual hace que sea un problema de salud en el que centrar nuestros esfuerzos para dar la mejor respuesta a nuestros pacientes, que son más vulnerables al desarrollo de la infección y candidatos a presentar cuadros clínicos más graves. Este documento pretende abordar la relación entre la infección por COVID-19 y la DM2. Para ello, analizaremos brevemente qué datos epidemiológicos sustentan esta asociación y, posteriormente, se profundizará en los mecanismos fisiopatológicos que podrían conectar ambas enfermedades.
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic represents an enormous challenge. Given the considerable presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the current population, the pandemic is a health issue that requires an effort to provide better responses to our patients who are more vulnerable to the onset of infection and who are candidates for presenting more severe symptoms. This document attempts to address the relationship between COVID-19 infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus. To this end, we will briefly analyse whether the epidemiological data support this association and, subsequently, go in depth on the pathophysiological mechanisms that might connect the two diseases.
