How diabetes management is adapting amid the COVID-19 pandemic

Yet, for those living with diabetes, the movement restrictions have raised a whole series of extra questions: how can they seek advice; how can their health be monitored; and how can they continue to manage their condition?

Is there a signature imaging appearance of the virus that could alert radiologists to its presence?
