“…In addition, stress is thought impact that metabolic parameters in patients with diabetes mellitus [20]. In previous studies, it has been reported that disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, were associated with increased stress and worse glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [10,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Although the association between stress and glycemic control was not observed in this study, unlike these previous disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and there are concerns that the impact on patients with diabetes mellitus will continue or become more severe.…”

To investigate the acute effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the lifestyle and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellites. This cross-sectional and retrospective cohort study induced 203 patients who completed a questionnaire regarding stress levels and lifestyles. Data regarding stress levels, sleep time, exercise, and total diet, snack, and prepared food intake were obtained from the questionnaires. The changes in the body weight or HbA1c levels were determined by comparing the values at the time the questionnaire was administered to those noted 3 months ago. Increased levels of stress and decreased exercise levels were reported in approximately 40% and >50%. During the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a negative correlation between stress and exercise (r = -0.285, p < 0.001) and a positive correlation between stress and prepared food intake (r = 0.193, p = 0.009). Decreased exercise levels (r = -0.33, p < 0.001) and increased snack consumption (r = 0.24, p = 0.002) were associated with increased body weight. Furthermore, increased total diet intake (r = 0.16, p = 0.031) was associated with increased HbA1c levels. These relationships remained significant for patients aged <65 years and patients who did not engage in regular exercise. Many patients experienced stress and lifestyle changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and these changes were associated with increased body weight and HbA1c levels.

“…For example, patients with diabetes lose their insulin due to disasters (Fujihara et al, 2012; Kishimoto & Noda, 2013; Tanaka et al, 2015), which results in a more serious condition due to the discontinuation of insulin injections (Kishimoto & Noda, 2013). Patients with diabetes also struggled with unhealthy diets during disaster (Allweiss & Albright, 2011; Kondo et al, 2019). Considering these past experiences of disasters, it makes sense for the participants to be aware of insulin and food.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to clarify the thoughts and attitudes of patients with type 1 diabetes during disasters. Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study. The participants were 10 adult patients with type 1 diabetes who were selected through purposeful sampling. None of them had experienced a disaster. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: Type 1 diabetes patients described a variety of thoughts and attitudes regarding disaster and preparedness. Based on their experiences, 528 codes were extracted. The codes were categorized based on their patterns and similarities. Then, 11 sub-themes and three main themes were identified. The three main themes were (a) "being unprepared since one could not relate to disasters"; (b) "managing well with insulin and food"; and (c) "hiding the fact that one has diabetes." Conclusions: This study identified three important characteristics of the thoughts and attitudes of patients with type 1 diabetes toward disasters. These provide perspectives for education in pre-disaster preparation and support when disasters occur. Patients with type 1 diabetes are aware of the importance of insulin, food adjustment, and self-management on a daily basis. Therefore, it is necessary to educate them so that they can apply their knowledge in times of disaster. In addition, healthcare providers who provide support in times of disaster need to be aware that there are victims who cannot talk readily about their illness.

“…In patients with type 2 diabetes, however, blood glucose control seemed initially improved, followed by aggravation as a result of a shortage of medications and foods. These are very valuable findings to take into account in actual planning for disasters 12 .…”
