The global epidemiological and clinical patterns of COVID‐19 among children with diabetes are still very limited. In this report Associate Professor May Ng investigates the current outcome data for young people with diabetes and COVID‐19 and discusses the need for continued vigilance to ensure emergency paediatric conditions are dealt with urgently, as well as the essential health messages for young people with diabetes.
