Hyperglycemia Linked to Higher Mortality in COVID-19 Patients
For COVID-19 patients without a previous diagnosis of diabetes, fasting blood glucose (FBG) ≥7.0 mmol/L is an independent predictor of 28-day mortality.
Hyperglycemia and COVID-19: Why Management of Glucose Levels Is Essential
Hyperglycemia may worsen outcomes in COVID-19 due to a rapid inflammatory response and increased glycosylation of the ACE2 receptor.
Comorbid Diabetes, Schizophrenia Increase Hyperglycemic Episode Risk
Findings showed a higher incidence of hyperglycemic episodes in patients with diabetes and comorbid schizophrenia than in those without schizophrenia.
Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy May Up Risk for Obesity in Offspring
Children of obese women with gestational diabetes have increased risk for childhood obesity.
Hyperglycemia During Pregnancy May Affect Childhood Glucose and Insulin Resistance in Offspring

Transplant, steroids, and diabetes: Inpatient and outpatient management
