Astonishing link between children who caught Covid and diabetes

[MikeyBikey]

So this morning this headline from the Daily Fail popped up on my Edge search screen. Considering this was reported by London hospitals four years ago this is barely news!

Sorry I am having problem with the link but will try later unless someone succeeds in the meantime.

I guess this is the article with the usual Daily Fail attention grabbing headline.

SARS-CoV-2 Infection and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Among Pediatric Patients, 2020 to 2022​

The main study population included 613 602 patients, consisting of 306 801 with COVID-19 (mean [SD] age at index, 14.9 [2.9] years; 52.8% female) and 306 801 with other respiratory infections (ORIs) but no documented COVID-19 (mean [SD] age at index, 14.9 [2.9] years; 52.6% female) after propensity score matching. Risk of a new diagnosis of T2D was significantly increased from day of infection to 1, 3, and 6 months after COVID-19 diagnosis compared with the matched cohort with ORIs (RR at 1 month, 1.55 [95% CI, 1.28-1.89]; RR at 3 months: 1.48 [95% CI, 1.24-1.76]; RR at 6 months: 1.58 [95% CI, 1.35-1.85]). Similar results were found in the subpopulation classified as having overweight or obesity (RR at 1 month: 2.07 [95% CI, 1.12-3.83]; RR at 3 months: 2.00 [95% CI, 1.15-3.47]; RR at 6 months: 2.27 [95% CI, 1.38-3.75]) and the hospitalized subpopulation (RR at 1 month: 3.10 [95% CI, 2.04-4.71]; RR at 3 months: 2.74 [95% CI, 1.90-3.96]; RR at 6 months: 2.62 [95% CI, 1.87-3.66]). Similar elevation in risk was found at 3 and 6 months when excluding patients diagnosed during the interval from the index date to 1 month after infection.

Yes, in a similar vein there was clickbait about restriction on wht could be prescribed (sun screen etc) online yesterday, that was from about 3 years ago...they're just wanting to sell adversiding

I cannot get back to the article now but saw a variant from the Sun describing it as the silent killer (click-bait). The original report I saw was late 2020 about the incidence of of Type 1 being far higher in children who had contacted Covid than those who had not. It focused on London hospitals, and of course Covid spread rapidly in many densely populated areas of London.

I saw something like that. But not the Sun. I kinda assumed it had something to do with an “auto immune response” to what was at the time a “novel virus?”

not sure why they're making such a big deal out of it now.

Neither do I? The whole thing seems now to insinuate developing type 2 (or the risk) in later life? Am I wrong? Sounds like someone has a “Time Machine.”
