242ds agoResearchers say there's a new link between mild COVID-19
cases and an increased risk of diabetes.
Researchers in Europe looked at about 36,000 people who
were diagnosed with COVID-19, but not hospitalized.
According to researchers, their risk of developing type 2
diabetes was 28% higher than
those who never had COVID-19.
Researchers
say this might be due to the damage the virus is known to cause to the
insulin-releasing beta cells in the pancreas.
