COVID-19 survivors are at increased risk of being newly diagnosed with diabetes up to one year after recovering, new study suggests.
Patients in the study were about 40% more likely than the control groups to develop mainly type 2 diabetes.newly diagnosed with diabetesResearchers from VA Saint Louis Health Care System found people who recovered from COVID were 40% more likely to develop a new case of diabetes compared to a control group.
"That's hard for me to swallow," Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, chief of research and development at VA Saint Louis Health Care System, and lead author of the study, told ABC News."COVID-19 isn't only about the acute effects. This is going to leave a lot of people with long-term health consequences that they'll have to deal with for a lifetime and that's jarring. It's unsettling to accept.", the team looked at patient data from the U.S.
He added that there are a few theories of how COVID increases the risk for diabetes, although none have been proven or refuted. But more and more studies have shown COVID survivors can suffer from heart problems, kidney problems and, in this case, diabetes. Because of insulin resistance, the pancreas must make more insulin to try to get cells to respond and this leads to high blood sugar levels.In this Jan. 12, 2022, file photo, a woman receives help with a nasal swab at a BusTest Express Covid-19 mobile testing site in Paramount, Calif.
