Sure. COVID causes diabetes. Not the fact that they are fat, eat sugary everything and are allergic to treadmills. It's COVID.

Next up, COVID causes drug overdoses, followed by gun shot wounds and car accidents, rabies and male pattern baldness.

Let's just take a look at a few of the articles showing that Covid is causing diabetes in some individuals. This is especially true for young people -- who account as most of the patients seeing this issue. Certainly the medical information is still evolving via studies which are researching the linkage and why Covid is causing diabetes.

So someone who is fat, eats crap and has an extremely unhealthy lifestyle and pre-diabetic...but its COVID's fault for triggering diabetes.

Even in the report it says:

The agency noted that “a percentage of these new diabetes cases likely occurred in persons with prediabetes, which occurs in one in five adolescents in the United States.”

Additionally, the virus could have indirectly increased the risk for diabetes due to weight gain caused by pandemic lifestyle changes, according to the CDC. It’s an idea researchers say warrants future studies to examine the possible connection.

Also the report said the researchers simply looked at data in other sources to try and link COVID and diabetes which leads to numerous holes in the data and could be more coincidence than causality.

I think the researchers are making quote a big leap to link COVID and diabetes when diabetes has several other main factors that are easily explained by kids sitting at home for a year with no school or sports and the fact that 1 in 5 kids is pre diabetic.


Also the last line of one of the articles:

The CDC said the research was limited by “at least four” factors, with one being how it defined “diabetes.” “The definition of diabetes might have low specificity because it used a single ICD-10-CM code, did not include laboratory data at the time of diagnosis, and could not reliably distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes,” authors wrote.
