Abstract

The ongoing social distancing and lockdown policy during the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted access to health care services among patients with Non-Communicable Diseases, particularly diabetes mellitus. Lack of receiving consecutive care and self-management of those patients could directly result in controlling blood glucose, leading to diabetes complications in the future. This article provides the practice guideline for healthcare providers to enhance diabetes patients with self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG), diet, and physical activity. Such enhancement maybe potential to support patients with diabetes to control their blood glucose level during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
