“…2020 saw an increase in the severity of the onset of T1DM in children under 16 years of age (higher frequency of ketoacidosis, lower pH, lower base excess [BE] and higher glycated haemoglobin), as has been reported in other countries. 13 , 14 Although the association with lockdown and the fear of going to medical centres has been one of the hypotheses proposed to explain this8 the time since onset of symptoms was <2 weeks in slightly more than 50% of cases, with no differences compared to the previous years, suggesting that there was no delay in receiving health care, which leads us to believe that there must be other factors involved in this greater severity at onset. Moreover, no differences have been found in symptom duration between patients presenting with or without ketoacidosis.4 One feature of healthcare in the Autonomous Community of Madrid was the partial closure of primary care during the first months of the pandemic to support the care of patients with COVID-19 at the Hospital de Emergencias Enfermera Zendal, as well as the subsequent restriction of face-to-face consultations in favour of telephone appointments.…”

“…However, in our meta-analysis, we excluded 5 of the 17 studies quantitatively analyzed by Elgenidy A et al because they did not report any of the events of interest or the lack of a control group. Moreover, these authors also included two case-control studies 35,55 and cross-sectional studies 36,46,53,60 and reported relative risks instead of odds ratios. Therefore, the same considerations previously mentioned for the meta-analysis of Alfayez OM et al should apply.…”

“…These latter two presentations can entail significant risk for morbidity and mortality if not recognized and appropriately treated. Increasing rates of DKA at presentation of new onset T2D have been reported during the COVID‐19 pandemic 91–93 …”
