Description
Vehbi Sirikci, Cem Onur Kirac, and Huseyin Avni Findikli track blood sugar control in diabetes patients across the COVID-19 lockdown years, in a 2024 paper. Whether lockdown harmed control was unclear, and older patients faced special risks. The team followed more than twelve hundred patients with measures in each of three one-year periods.
Results split by age. In patients over sixty-five, the long-term sugar marker rose during lockdown, most sharply in the seventy-five to eighty-five group. In younger patients it fell instead. Patients over eighty-five showed no change. The authors urge close monitoring of elderly patients during lockdowns, with home care, remote visits, and structured diet and exercise support.
