This, mini review highlights the key investigations starting from binding of COVID-19 at the cellular surface to create sever infection or even death in DM patients. The study further suggested to pay urgent attention towards stabilization of deadly immune response arises as a result of COVID-19. We hope the highlighted investigation will help the researchers to understand and develop a road map to deal DM patients infected with COVID-19 to minimize the severity rate.
