Abstract
Epidemiology studies suggest that comorbid diabetes may have some negative impacts on the development and progression of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the exact mechanisms remain to be unclear so far. A recent study on another type of coronavirus infection, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), was investigated along with its relationship with diabetes. This essay aims to give a brief introduction to this report and related studies, and to propose some suggestions on what we may learn from these investigations to conduct further studies on the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of diabetes mellitus on COVID-19. Key words: Coronavirus; Coronavirus disease 2019; Middle East respiratory syndrome; Diabetes mellitus; Mechanism
