SARS-CoV-2 and type 1 diabetes in children in Finland: an observational study

[Bruce Stephens]

More children developed T1 during the pandemic than before. They look at the obvious explanation (it's the virus) but don't find good evidence for it.

Children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during the pandemic had a more severe disease at diagnosis. The observed increase in type 1 diabetes incidence during the first 18 months could be a consequence of lockdown and physical distancing rather than a direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection.​

If only they had put the same level of effort, money, time, advertising as they had for sars-cov-2 into diabetes, the world would be a far better place right now.
