Abstract: Since last many months it is evident that hyperglycemia (high sugars) in Covid-19 infection has caused worst prognosis and has increased the risk of death in non-diabetic patients as well [1,2]. Not only virus entry but later on the replication is also amplified due to hyperglycemia. Acute hyperglycemia is usually associated with surge of inflammatory mediators [3]. This may lead to ‘‘cytokine storm†in the COVID-19.
