Therefore, intensive glucose monitoring may be necessary for COVID-19 patients, especially for those who has underlying diabetes, hyperglycemia (fasting blood glucose≥7mmol/L) or receiving corticosteroid treatment. Frequent and invasive blood sampling means increased risk of occupational exposure for nurses when closely contacting with COVID-19 patients. An investigation on clinical characteristics of 30 medical workers infected with COVID-19 indicated that close contact (within 1 meter) was the main transmission route under such circumstance [6] . Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) may be an optimized choice for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, given that medical workers could check glucose levels by a scanner for up to 14 days without invasive operations or close contact. Blood glucose is a representative of the clustered indicators of multi-organ injury for predicting mortality of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China.	./cache/cord-265522-qutjr010.txt	./txt/cord-265522-qutjr010.txt
