COVID‐19 has frightened us all. Not only are we at risk of a potentially fatal infection, but our governments’ efforts to protect us have separated us from our families and disrupted our lives. People with diabetes are especially vulnerable. Dr Rowan Hillson looks at lessons from past disasters and pandemics to highlight the emotional effects of this pandemic on people with diabetes and health care professionals.
