Does COVID-19 really raise the risk of diabetes?
Many people who have had COVID-19 have gone on to develop diabetes. But diabetes is relatively common, and COVID-19 is too, so that doesn’t necessarily mean one leads to the other.
The question is whether people who have had COVID-19 are more likely to develop diabetes than those who haven’t. And if so, is it the virus that’s causing diabetes, or is there something else that links the two?
