Abstract

Introduction: The association between COVID-19 and Diabetes Mellitus 2 (DM2) is evidenced by the affinity between the SARS-CoV-2 virus for binding sites of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2). ACE2 is a molecule abundantly expressed in cells of the endothelium, lungs and other organs, including the pancreatic islets. Objective: Perform an analysis in the current literature on cases of infection by COVID-19 responsible for triggering DM2. Materials and methods: This is a systematic literature review. Articles were selected from the Pubmed, Academic Google and Scielo databases, from March 2020 to March 2020. For the research, the following terms were used: "Covid 19", "Hyperglycemia", "Diabetes Mellitus", "ACE2", "Sars-Cov-2 mechanisms", with  Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) standardized and combined by Boolean operators. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 articles were selected for review. Results: The affinity for ACE2 receptors allows SARS-CoV-2 to act on the pancreas, which can lead to peripheral insulin resistance and, therefore,  to hyperglycemia. In most cases, the condition does not resolve at the end of the disease, leading to DM2. Conclusion: Since ACE2 is a receptor for the entry of SARS-Cov-2 in several tissues, including the pancreatic islets, people with greater expression of it on the cell surface are more likely to be infected by COVID-19. Furthermore, it is likely that the amount of glycosylated ACE2 receptors exerts an influence on this process. Therefore, one of the complications of COVID-19 may be the development of DM2.
