We found that COVID-19 patients with diabetes were more likely to develop severely or critically ill subtypes, including more complications with ARDS, acute cardiac injury, resulting in receiving more antibiotic therapy and mechanical ventilation. Additionally, we found that COVID-19 patients with diabetes also had preexisting cardiovascular disease, and were more susceptible to having acute cardiac injury during hospitalization, which might increase the possibility of short-term poor prognosis in patients with diabetes after SARS-CoV-2 infection.	./cache/cord-306670-c2jm0g88.txt	./txt/cord-306670-c2jm0g88.txt
