<![CDATA[The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new human-infected coronavirus causing respiratory problems. The COVID-19 can affect people of all ages, but those with a record of chronic disease (comorbidity) are at higher risk of poor outcomes with the COVID-19. This study aimed to review COVID-19 preventative behavior in diabetes patients. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the comorbidities that aggravates COVID-19 in patients. Such patients are at risk of deteriorating critical conditions in the intensive care units (ICUs) and even death. Prevention is the best measure to avoid COVID-19, although it is currently considered adequate. This article reviewed 22 papers focusing on COVID-19, DM, COVID-19 in DM patients, COVID-19 preventive behavior, and COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practice in patients with chronic disease, while primary focusing on DM. It is revealed that diabetes patients at high risk of COVID19 need to practice good preventive behaviors. Furthermore, it emphasizes that improving knowledge, encouraging positive attitudes, and implementing good COVID-19 preventive behaviors in DM patients requires education and access to the COVID-19 related health information.]]>
