* Ketoacidosis ''rare''
* Endogenous insulin may be

Diarrhea is an uncommon gastrointestinal symptom in patients with COVID-19, but in may be the presenting symptom in few patients. The frequency of occurrence of diarrhea varies between 1%-35%. [1]It varies widely between different studies probably due to the different criteria used to define diarrhea.

  • SARS-CoV-2 uses the ACE2 receptors for cell entry. These receptors are presently abundantly not only in the lungs but also in the enterocytes of the small intestinal.
  • Entry of the virus causes disruption of the enterocytes and may lead to inflammation.
