Methods: This work was done as a study on diabetes and coronavirus. Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched on January 20, 2021. Results: Studies demonstrated that diabetes is not the leading cause of comorbidity or ultimate cause of mortality or morbidity of COVID-19 disease, as mentioned above.
