As with most infections and viruses, COVID-19 raises blood sugar levels and increases the inflammatory response within the body. Therefore, those with underlying health conditions like diabetes have a more challenging time fighting the virus and often end up in the hospital.
According the American Diabetes Association, In general, people with diabetes are more likely to have more severe symptoms and complications when infected with any virus.
Your risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 is likely to be lower if your diabetes is well-managed. Having heart disease or other complications in addition to diabetes could worsen the chance of getting seriously ill from COVID-19, like other viral infections, because more than one condition makes it harder for your body to fight the infection.
Viral infections can also increase inflammation, or internal swelling, in people with diabetes. This can also be caused by above-target blood sugars, and that inflammation could contribute to more severe complications.
THE KEY IS MAKING SURE YOUR DIABETES IS WELL-MANAGED
Why medications are not a long-term answer
Diabetic medications work to lower blood sugar levels, but they stop working, and the dose will continuously need to be increased. The worst part is these drugs are not making you better, and they are not curing diabetes—There are simply masking your problem. It’s like putting duct tape on a firehose to stop the flow of water. While these drugs may be essential in the beginning diagnoses for severe cases where A1C or fasting glucose levels are extremely high, these drugs are not a long-term answer. The root cause of your disorder is usually found in lifestyle choices such as diet or being sedentary.

DENISE A. PANCYRZ’S STORY
National Diabetes & Holistic Lifestyle Coach – Speaker – Author
I was a diabetic who was angered being burdened with diabetes. I was tired of taking medications and four insulin shots per day that did NOT make me feel better. The food I was taught to eat as a diabetic was not bringing me to a state of optimal health. It was keeping me medicated and constantly visiting Walgreen’s, Diabetes Educators and the doctors.
I wanted my life to be different and the medical community told me it was highly unlikely. In fact, I was told the amount of medication and insulin would increase as I age. However, I learned that you could improve or eliminate disease with proper nutrition, not with unnecessary medication.
I feel better and stronger in my 50s, than I did in my 40s. I have more energy, reversed diabetes, eliminated inflammation that was leading me to heart disease, eliminated IBS and intestinal issues ~ no more stomach aches after meals, my seasonal allergies are gone and a slight skin issue on my elbow healed. I almost forgot, I lost weight in the process.
I know it sounds too good to be true that proper nutrition was able to heal me—I’m living proof. As a national coach, speaker and author, my mission is to help others to achieve optimal health through holistic lifestyle changes. Certified in holistic nutrition and homeopathy, I can bring awareness to diabetics to make lifestyle changes for a lifetime and reverse the effects of diabetes.
