Abstract
New-onset DM or unmasking existing one, with or without metabolic
complications, has been reported in SARS CoV-2 infection. New-onset DM
in association with HHS alone or combination with DKA is uncommon but a
possible manifestation of SARS CoV-2 infection that poses management
challenges where the outcome may be worst.
