Figure 1 Insulin resistance may act as a bridging link between coronavirus disease 2019 and diabetes. The potential mechanism by which insulin resistance mediates coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity is through angiotensin converting enzyme 2 protein, systemic inflammation, pancreatic β cell damage, and thrombosis. The potential markers of insulin resistance for evaluating diabetes status in patients with COVID-19 are also mentioned. CRP: C-reactive protein; CT: Computed tomography; IL-6: Interleukin-6; IR: Insulin receptor; MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging; T2DM: Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
