New Study Finds Children Are up to 2.5 Times More Likely to Develop Diabetes After COVID-19 Infection

decreases your body’s ability to use the insulin it does produce. Type 1 is often diagnosed during adolescence and considered an autoimmune disease; type 2 more frequently develops in middle age and has a strong genetic component, the ADA says.

Diabetes can also be exacerbated by other conditions. “All sorts of illnesses, including bacterial infections, cause stress on the body, which leads to increases in needs,” Dr. Alonso explains. “For someone who is already prediabetic, this could push them over the edge.”are more likely to be diagnosed in kids with COVID-19 than those who never had it, the CDC study says. “There is some suggestion that the SARS-CoV2 virus may have some negative interaction with the cells that make insulin,” Dr. Alonso says, leading to insulin resistance.

“For type 2, we are very concerned about the increased rates of obesity we’re seeing in United States children during the pandemic,” Dr. Alonso continues. “But we’d expect these factors to be fairly constant across the whole population, and not just affecting people who got COVID-19.” Unfortunately, it’s not possible to draw any definitive conclusions without more research into why kids who caught the novel coronavirus are developing diabetes at higher rates.

“Is this therefore the effect of earlier unmasking of disease, or are we going to continue seeing larger and larger numbers of children getting diabetes?” Dr. Alsonso asks. “Ongoing study will be important.” He’s looking forward to upcoming data from Europe, especially, which might provide a clearer picture of what could be causing the correlation.

I want to read that study, as I'm not at all convinced that there's any causal relationship! I think it's more likely that people who live in higher COVID areas are at greater risk of Type2 diabetes and are being detected *because* they've had COVID; w/out COVID, no T2D testing

😬😬😞
