While it is known that COVID-19 can worsen existing diabetes and also trigger new onset of the lifestyle disease in recovered patients, doctors are now seeing post-COVID hypoglycaemia (blood sugar level less than 70 mg/dL) among patients. Doctors say many patients are reporting low sugar levels 10 to 15 days after recovering.
Haleema Yezdani, a diabetologist who has been teletriaging and teletreating COVID-19 patients through Project StepOne, said she has been seeing many patients with complaints of weakness a fortnight after recovery. “On checking their random blood sugar level is around 70 mg/dL. This is mainly because of loss of appetite and change in eating habits during and after COVID. In this third wave, severe throat pain is a common symptom and people are unable to eat,” she said.
