COVID-19 may trigger diabetes in some people

Emerging data hint that COVID-19 can trigger diabetes in some people, although the exact reason remains unknown.
More than 350 clinicians have submitted reports to the registry, The Guardian reported. They've reported both type 1 diabetes, in which the body attacks the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, and type 2 diabetes, in which the body still produces some insulin, though often not enough, and its cells don't respond properly to the hormone. "Over the last few months, we've seen more cases of patients that had either developed diabetes during the COVID-19 experience or shortly after that," Dr. Francesco Rubino, a professor and chair of metabolic and bariatric surgery at King's College London, told The Guardian. "We are now starting to think the link is probably true — there is an ability of the virus to cause a malfunctioning of sugar metabolism."
