DM is a disease that has an increasing prevalence from year to year and has a high morbidity rate. This is not only the case in Indonesia but also globally. The severity of both diseases (DM and COVID-19) then demands the management of comprehensive patient services so as to reduce the risk of morbidity.METHOD: The method used in this writing is the literature review method, carried out by examining journals’ articles published between 2020 and 2021.RESULTS: The results showed that the impact of COVID-19 pandemic prevention will worsen the condition of DM sufferers where there will be the restrictions on the supply of healthy food, changes in eating habits, and access to health services due to concerns about COVID-19.CONCLUSIONS: Hence, the conclusion is, during the COVID-19 pandemic situation, it was necessary to adjust the management of DM services to prevent complications from DM itself by utilizing health technology.
