QUESTIONS;

1. Can there be any difference in raise of D.dimer in patients with and without comorbidities?
2.What is the prognosis of COVID 19 in diabetic patients?
3.What are the factors leading to mortality and morbidity of COVID 19 in Diabetic patients?
4.Are people with uncontrolled hyper glycemia at risk of reinfections with COVID 19?
