A literature search was performed in August and September 2020 using databases PubMed, Google scholar, and Scopus to identify studies reporting an association between blood This article is part of the Topical Collection on Covid-19 glucose levels and COVID-19 disease outcomes in patients without a history of diabetes. Our pooled analysis showed an increased risk of critical illness or severe COVID-19, as well as mortality in patients who presented with raised glucose levels and no prior history of diabetes compared with those with normal glucose levels. It has been observed that there exist varying magnitudes of association between fasting blood glucose levels and severe/critical COVID-19 illness among patients presenting with hyperglycemia without a known diagnosis of diabetes.	./cache/cord-261222-762nqkbg.txt	./txt/cord-261222-762nqkbg.txt
