Habits play an essential role in the treatment of chronic diseases. The main complaints of patients during isolation were sleep disturbance, eating patterns, increased tobacco and alcohol consumption, and reduced physical activity. The aim of the study is to examine the change in habits during social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic as a predictor of the rate of hospitalizations with diabetes-related complications to determine the odds of impact.

Results: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Georgia from September 2022 to March 2023. 65 people participated in the survey—752 patients with early diabetes mellitus. Stenting/heart bypass during isolation increased the likelihood of hospitalization with sweet (OR = 3.3. CI 95% (1.16-9.71) P=0.03) and fatty (OR = 1.3 CI 95% (1.3-16.9) P=0.018) food. increase in consumption when quitting cigarette smoking (OR = 0, 103 CI 95% (0.11-1.0) P=0.05), protein diet (OR = 6,62. CI 95% (1.67-17.5) P=0,000) and physical activity up to 4-6 hours per week reduced (OR = 3,7. CI 95% (1.78-15.7), P=0,000). The probability of hospitalization for diabetic foot during isolation decreased with smoking cessation (OR = 0.108. CI 95% (0.011-1.034) P=0.05), increased with increased cigarette consumption (OR = 0.05. CI 95% (0.4-0.692) P=0.025), fatty foods (OR = 6.02. CI 95% (2.85-18.7) P=0.000) and hypodynamics (OR = 10.9. CI 95% (4.963-21.5) P=0.000). The probability of hospitalization for stroke was increased by insomnia (OR = 5.8. CI 95% (1.36-24.7) P=0.017), obesity (OR = 5.9. CI 95% (1.59-22.4) P=0.008) and intake increase in sugary food (OR) = 6.7. CI 95% (1.47-23.9) P=0.014).

Conclusion: Thus, changing habits (food, sleep, tobacco use, physical activity) during the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the critical predictors of the development of complications associated with diabetes mellitus, which significantly increased the likelihood of hospitalization of patients.
