COVID-19 survivors have a 66% higher risk of developing type 1 or type 2 diabetes following their diagnosis compared to those not diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a study. Their findings suggest that people diagnosed with COVID-19 may experience a range of health issues following their illness.
According to the researchers, SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—binds to an enzyme receptor found on the surface of many organs and tissues—including cells found in the pancreas, small intestine and kidneys. Other research teams have found that the virus affects insulin levels and induces the death of pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin.
While each of the eight studies reported a different level of risk, the team used statistical modeling to find an average, or pooled, risk ratio, which is a measure of how much higher a risk a COVID-19 survivor would be of developing diabetes than someone who was not diagnosed with the virus. They found a pooled risk ratio of 1.66—implying that COVID-19 survivors have a 66% higher risk of developing new onset diabetes.
Ba said: "It is important that survivors and their health care providers are aware of this trend so they can be on the lookout for development of diabetes."
Ba said their results are similar to previous studies examining the relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes, but that their analysis is one of the largest to date. However, he noted it's possible that some people in the control group could have had undetected, mild asymptomatic COVID-19 because they had not been tested.
As a result, misclassification could have led to an underestimate of the strength of the association between the two diseases. The researchers were also unable to study whether vaccination status affected outcomes as those data were not available to them.

Eat less and exercise more.
Grant funded “may”
Everyone on the planet is a Covid survivor at this point, vaccinated or not, given that the vax had little efficacy.
Would they please differentiate their data, the jabbed and the not jabbed.
And do not believe everything you read.
**Eat less and exercise more.**
Klawz Shwaab and friends are working on making both unavoidable for us useless eaters.
I am a useful eater.
**I am a useful eater.**
I as well, for I hate to see food wasted. I gladly eat leftovers from my wife’s marvelous meals.
I, too, love to eat leftovers. I would rather eat eat leftovers than eat at a fancy restaurant.
That doesn’t make any sense - and IF it’s the spike protein doing the damage than the vaccinated are at the same risk
“Eat less and exercise more.”
That’s the title and the content of my 1-line diet book. I thought it would be a big hit, but haven’t found anyone willing to publish it.
They have it backwards.
Having diabetes greatly increases the risk of having and succumbing to Covid 19.
My wife was sick on Sunday. Too sick to go to work. I brought a gluten free "works" pizza home from Red Robin. It sufficed for dinner on Sunday and Monday. The other half of the pizza was just fine on Monday night when she came home from a 12 hour shift. No energy to go out or cook at the house.
No no no . . . You’re not supposed to notice stuff like that!! What is wrong with you? /s
Yeah - it became obvious right at the start of this debacle, it isn’t just diabetics, anyone who is “prediabetic” or overweight, metabolic syndrome. Inflammation of organs, all those things affect the immune system very negatively.
Achieving and maintaining a lean body mass or weight means far better health in a lot of ways, and this might be the most important.
Crucially we didn’t hear much, if anything at all, about this. Locking everyone down in their basements while they gorged on Doritos and Mt. Dew didn’t help anybody. Frito Lay, maybe.
Exactly. It is impossible to draw this conclusion objectively since there is no longer a valid control group. The best they could do would be a before/after comparison of the never vaccinated.
