Diabetes mellitus is one of the main comorbidities associated with mortality and severe disease in infections with SARS-CoV-2. Extracts from the leaves of Morus alba and Stevia rebaudiana are used in traditional medicine to control diabetes. A brief review is made of the potential of these extracts to improve the conditions associated with COVID-19, not only through the control of diabetes but also for the presence of chemical compounds, particularly flavonoids, which have shown antiviral activity in pharmacological and in silico studies.
