"Children and young people who have contracted COVID-19 are more at risk of
developing type 2 diabetes in the future compared to those never infected with
the disease, a study has indicated.
Recent research has found that children and young people who have been infected
with COVID-19 are nearly 60% more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes
compared to those affected by different respiratory diseases.
COVID-19 can trigger the development of type 2 diabetes because the virus can
cause cells in the pancreas to not produce enough insulin by disrupting an
individual’s metabolism.
Type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher risk of having a stroke or heart
attack, previous studies have revealed."
