Scientists have named another consequence of COVID-19: 40% of those who have been ill are in danger

People who have had COVID-19 have an increased risk of developing diabetes within a year, even after

mild course of the disease.Scientists found this out during a study in which almost 200,000 people took part. The results were published in the journal Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.

In total, scientists studied the recordsmore than 8 million people, including 180 000 people who have recovered from coronavirus infection. It turned out that the risk of developing diabetes increases as the severity of COVID-19 increases. Compared with people who did not have SARS-CoV-2 and were not hospitalized, those in intensive care had a fourfold increased risk of developing diabetes.
The results are consistent with data from another study in Germany, which included fewer patients and was of shorter duration.
