In our case, the patient remained mildly hyperglycemic during the course of his COVID-19 pneumonia; however, he presented with diabetic ketoacidosis six weeks after being discharged. In one study, three patients, who developed ketosis-prone diabetes mellitus immediately after documented viral infection with EBV or coxsackievirus and required insulin therapy on discharge, were followed for four to eight years; the first patient remained insulin-dependent throughout the life, the second one regained normal glucose tolerance, and the third one was being transitioned to oral antidiabetic medications [6] . Patients with COVID-19 infection who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state during the acute phase of infection have been identified [3, 9] . We reported a case of a young male who developed full-blown ketosis-prone type II diabetes mellitus status post-SARS-CoV-2 infection recovery. ./cache/cord-325152-ffmo67hm.txt ./txt/cord-325152-ffmo67hm.txt
