Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a 2020 pandemic, has been linked to another global health problem, the diabetes pandemic. Both are existing in a bi-directional association. COVID-19 has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes in those with pre-existing diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, recent data have emerged highlighting the inter-relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus and COVID-19. Here, we present four cases admitted to the hospital with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus associated with COVID-19. We aim to review the available literature regarding the complex association between COVID-19 and new-onset diabetes, causative factors and triggers, treatment strategies, outcomes, and its burden on the health system in general.
