(1)To describe the glycemic parameters of patients with COVID-19 Associated M Objectives: ucormycosis.(2)To describe the one month outcome of the patients.(3)To compare patients with Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus Post COVID-19 and patients having preexisting diabetes mellitus. 75 patients with probable or proven mucormycosis wit Methodology: h history of COVID atleast 2 weeks before were randomly selected from the mucor ward of Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital and their glycemic prole assessed.They were followed up for one month and the results were statistically analyzed.
