One third (33%) had moderate or high psychological distress. Majority of PWDs did not consult a physician during lockdown. Cost of care was high. Measures to improve utilisation of telemedicine services and peripheral health facilities are needed. Majority of PWDs did not consult a physician during lockdown. Cost of care was high.

A national lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Turkey was introduced in March 2020. We think that lockdowns may lead to weight gain and worsening of glycemic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The purpose of this study was to investigate how type 2 DM patients were affected by the lockdown. Type 2 DM patients unable to attend regular follow-ups due to lockdown over a 75-day period between March and June 2020 and who again attended polyclinic follow-up when the lockdown was lifted were included in the study. These patients' glycemic control and weight status were compared with the pre-lockdown period. In addition, patients' general habits, and adherence to diet and exercise were evaluated, while their general health was assessed using the Short-Form 36-item survey. The research involved 101 type 2 DM patients, 57 men (56.5%) and 44 women (44.5%), with a mean age of 55±13. Patients' mean pre-lockdown weight was 84.7±16.4kg, rising to 85.5±16.8kg post-lockdown, although the increase was not statistically significant (p=0.781). In terms of glycemic parameters, Hba1c rose from 7.67±1.76 to 8.11±2.48, and fasting glucose from 157.9 (83-645) mg/dl to 163.2 (84-550) mg/dl, none of which were statistically significant (p=0.253, p=0.079, respectively). In addition to weight gain among type 2 DM patients dur
