In this issue of Critical Care Esper and colleagues report on a large survey involving 12.5 million sepsis cases that examined the impact of pre-existing diabetes on organ dysfunction during sepsis. Their main conclusion was that diabetes patients relative to non-diabetics were less likely to develop respiratory failure and more likely to develop renal failure during the course of sepsis. Most physicians recollect cases where patients with diabetes had trivial injuries or infection but rapidly progressed to life threatening sepsis and death. Although such clinical experiences may suggest that diabetes is associated with more severe infections and poor outcomes observational studies have shown conflicting results. The interaction between diabetes a chronic condition and an acute infection is complex. Most studies suggest that diabetes increases susceptibility to infection. However its effect on outcomes of infection especially in the critical care setting is less clear. In this issue of Critical Care Esper and colleagues 1 have added to .
