世界卫生组织 (WHO) 于 2020 年 3 月 11 日宣布全球大流行，这是传染病警报阶段的最高风险级别。截至 2020 年 6 月 8 日，西太平洋地区 (WPR) 已报告 192,016 例确诊病例，其中 7125 人死亡。对于糖尿病患者，由于血糖水平大幅波动或存在糖尿病等合并症，COVID-19 可能更难治疗 并发症，包括心血管疾病和肾损伤，这些都是公认的不良结果风险。国家糖尿病协会和政府已为与 COVID-19 相关的糖尿病患者制定了指导方针，并正在努力为他们提供紧急情况和常规所需的医疗产品。WPR 规模如此之大，由如此不同的国家和 COVID-19 情况组成，没有任何一项结论或计划适用。相反，我们可以在 WPR 中看到多样化的 COVID-19 大流行概况，以及采取的一些创造性的诊断和治疗措施。这包括免下车筛查设施、高速 RT-PCR 技术、恢复期患者血浆治疗，这些可能对西太平洋地区乃至全球抗击 COVID-19 做出一些积极贡献。尽管该地区目前确诊病例数量正在减少，但 COVID-19 大流行尚未结束，许多专家建议为潜在的第二波或第三波 COVID-19 做好准备。 (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic, the highest risk level in the infectious disease alert phase, on 11 March 2020. In the Western Pacific Region (WPR), 192,016 confirmed cases with 7125 deaths had been reported as of 8 June 2020.In people with diabetes COVID-19 can be more difficult to treat due to the wide fluctuations in blood glucose levels or presence of comorbidities such as diabetes complications, including cardiovascular disease and renal damage, which are recognized risks for adverse outcomes. National diabetes associations and governments have established guidelines for subjects with diabetes in relation to COVID-19, and are trying to supply emergency and their regularly required medical products for them.The WPR is so large and composed of such diverse countries and COVID-19 situations, no one conclusion or program applies. Instead we could see a diverse COVID-19 pandemic pro file in the WPR, and several creative diagnostic and therapeutic measures undertaken. This includes drive-through screening facilities, high-speed RT-PCR technologies, convalescent patients' plasma therapy, which potentially had some positive contributions in combatting COVID-19 in the WPR as well as globally. Although the numbers of confirmed cases are currently decreasing in the region, the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and many experts are recommending to prepare measures for potential second or third waves of COVID-19.
