"A meta-analysis on the prevalence and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in the context of COVID-19" - Vishnu Shivam

The current evidence suggests that GDM acts as a risk factor for COVID-19 infection among pregnant women. This might be due to the hypothesis that altered sense of taste is associated among pregnant women with GDM and COVID-19 due to the taste receptor polymorphisms which regulates the innate immunity downstream signaling. However, molecular studies were needed to validate this hypothesis and evaluate the therapeutic role of taste receptors in the management of COVID-19 and GDM.
