Children with COVID-19 Face 45% Higher Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Within One Month
Oct 14, 2024, 05:01 PM
Recent research indicates that children and teenagers who contract COVID-19 are at a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to their peers who suffer from other respiratory illnesses. An observational study published on Monday highlights that the risk of new-onset Type 2 diabetes is notably higher in pediatric patients following SARS-CoV-2 infection from 2020 to 2022, corroborating earlier findings that inflammation from the virus can increase diabetes risk. The study observed a 45% increase in relative risk within one month after a COVID diagnosis. This trend was consistent among patients who were hospitalized or had pre-existing conditions such as obesity.
