Coronavirus could now trigger this deadly disease in you
According to researchers, the relationship between Covid-19 and diabetes is complicated.
Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, researchers have established that diabetes - type 1 and type 2-can increase the risk of severe infection from an individual. However, now medical experts believe that coronavirus is not a risk for people with diabetes - the virus can actuallycause Diabetes.
In aletterpublished in theNew England Journal of Medicine (Nejm), A team of researchers explains how incredibly infectious and potentially mortal virus can trigger diabetes in people elsewhere in good health.
"There is a bidirectional relationship between Covid-19 and Diabetes", the letter, written by an estimated MD team from around the world, begins. "On the one hand, diabetes is associated with an increased risk of severe Covid-19. On the other hand, new-erasing diabetes and severe metabolic complications of pre-existing diabetes, including diabetic cetoacidosis and hyperosmolarity for which Exceptionally high insulin doses are guaranteed., was observed in patients with COVID-19. These diabetes manifestations pose difficulties in clinical management and suggest a complex pathophysiology of diabetes related to Covid-19. "
A young man got from Covid-19-and then diabetes
The letter presentsA case reportFrom China, centered around a healthy young man who contracted Covid-19 who presented with a new severe diabetes, called ceto acidosis, after having fallen ill with the virus. He also brings aStudy conducted in 2010Of 39 patients in China receiving treatment for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), claiming that 20 of them have developed diabetes for the first time after the contraction of the virus. In most cases, diabetes solved after three years, but itpersisted in 10% of patientseven after.
It can trigger a new form of diabetes
Although it is still unclear if Covid-19 actually causes diabetes, researchers think it is possible to trigger type 1 or type 2 diabetes or even a new form of diabetes.
Authors of theNejm letterdeveloped a registerRecord all cases of diabetes related to Covid-19 in the hope of better understanding the relationship between the two.
"Given the very short history of human infection with SARS-COV-2, an understanding of how Covid-19 diabetes is developing, the natural history of this disease and appropriate management will be useful. L COVID-19 study Diabetes can also discover new disease mechanisms, "concludes the letter.
