Objective: To observe the glycemic profiles and emotion management in diabetic patients after the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) Methods: A questionnaire survey was used to observe the blood glucose levels and metabolic indexes before and after the outbreak of COVID-19, and to detect emotion ratings after the outbreak of COVID-19 The aim of the study is to present the effects of the COVID-19 on glycemic and emotional management in diabetic patients Results: A total of 136 patients were included in this survey The average age of the patients was 62 5 years old, and the average duration of diabetes was 10 1 years Glycemic profiles(fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, HbA1C), lipid profiles(triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and body weight were not significantly different before and after the outbreak of COVID-19(P>0 05) According to emotional scales(scores of anxiety, depression, and sleep-related scales), 76 5% diabetic patients did not develop anxiety symptoms, 61 0%~69 9% diabetic patients did not have depressive symptoms and 52 0% diabetic patients did not have sleep disorder 19 9% diabetic patients had mild anxiety symptoms, 25 7%~30 9% diabetic patients presented mild depression symptoms and 28 3% diabetic patients had mild sleep disorders 2 9% diabetic patients had moderate anxiety, 2 2%~8 1% diabetic patients had moderate depression and 14 2% diabetic patients had moderate sleep disorder Only a very small part of patients presented severe emotional symptoms including 0 7% patients with anxiety symptoms(GAD-7 15 points and above), 2 2% patients with depressive symptoms(PHQ9 and PHQ15 15 points and above)and 5 6% patients with sleep symptoms(PSQI 15 points and above) Compared with asymptomatic patients, neither patients with mild and moderate/severe depression and sleep disorder showed significant difference in HbA1C, nor did patients with moderate/ severe anxiety symptoms However, patients with mild anxiety symptoms showed significant lower HbA1C than asymptomatic patients Conclusion: After the outbreak of COVID-19, there was an increasing trend in blood glucose, but there was no statistical difference Body weight, lipids profiles were not different in diabetic patients, either Most of diabetic patients had mild symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep disorders Very few patients presented moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety, depression and sleep disorders Copyright © 2020 by the Chinese Medical Association
