The main aim of the present systematic review was to summarize the principal known mechanisms that increment this vulnerability, highlighting special measures. The importance of this lies in the fact that a large proportion of the world's population is affected by diabetes mellitus.

The information available was consulted in spanish and english through a literature review in databases as PubMed, Google Scholar and journals like Lancet and Nature till June 18, 2021. The main keywords used were “Diabetes mellitus” “COVID-19”, “ACE 2” “Endothelial dysfunction” “Immune response” “Alveolar dysfunction” and “Pathophysiology”. The main alterations found were of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, dysregulated immune response, endothelial dysfunction, coagulopathy, treatment, and complications of diabetes mellitus.
