Diabetes in Children Who Have had Covid

A rather troubling side effect from Kids having had Covid is some go on to develop diabetes. Apparently, it makes sense if you understand how it happens. So read the article to get the facts.

Using two different health databases, IQVIA and HealthVerity, researchers evaluated data from thousands of patients younger than 18 between March 1, 2020 and February 26, 2021, comparing those who had been diagnosed with COVID-19 to those who had a pre-pandemic, non-COVID respiratory infection, and also to those who had neither.

They found that children in the IQVIA database diagnosed with COVID-19 during that time were 166% more likely than those who did not have COVID to be diagnosed later with diabetes. In the HealthVerity database, children with COVID were 31% more likely to get a new diabetes diagnosis.

Researchers said children who had COVID were also 116% more likely to develop diabetes than those who had non-COVID respiratory infections prior to the pandemic. Non-COVID respiratory infection "was not associated with diabetes," researchers said.

"There's some evidence that COVID-19 infection could affect insulin secretion," she said. "So, you know, we just don't know what of the different effects of the pandemic are the cause. Is it actually infection, or is it just the pandemic itself and all of the societal factors related to it?"

"You could be seeing it because of all the issues with kids that are at-risk [of diabetes], like due to food insecurity, parents out of work, inactivity," she said, "all these other factors are there too."

All over the map with that MSN piece ...lol

"The CDC's study, Magge explained, helps affirm that information. However, it does not clarify whether the diabetes is spurred by COVID itself or by other factors. The study is based on data from insurance claims, and does not include information about demographic risk factors that could have contributed to a diabetes diagnosis, including prior health status, weight and environment.

Magge specifically pointed to the fact that the pandemic has increased food insecurity, along with increasing stress and obesity over the past two years — factors that can significantly influence overall health.

Meanwhile, a doctor speaks out....

This doctor covers a bit of this on this video. It’s not just the kids being affected by this.

This document is straight from Diabetes Canada. Experts on the subject.

"The detection of new-onset diabetes in COVID-19 patients could be a case of undiagnosed
prediabetes, diabetes, or pre-existing hyperglycemia (16–20). For instance, certain population
groups who do not routinely access health-care services, including those living in northern, remote,
and rural regions, may be diagnosed with diabetes as they receive in-hospital COVID-19 testing and
treatment (16). This limited access to routine health-care services adversely affects their diabetes
trajectory and related health outcomes. "

The Proposed Mechanism of Interaction

"A series of news articles published early in the pandemic have discussed the possibility of COVID-19
triggering diabetes in previously healthy people (30–34). The evidence reported in these news
articles is largely anecdotal, based on clinical opinion, and a handful of cases (30–34). But diabetes
researchers and clinicians acknowledge that the evidence needs to be addressed in a systematic
fashion."

Summary

While this new hypothesis linking COVID-19 to the development of diabetes is worthy of discussion,
extensive research is needed to distinguish whether there is a causal relationship. Future research
needs to include “well-constructed epidemiological cohort studies and mechanistic and
experimental studies” (33).

If they had done the standard 3 yr trials on the drug before approval for use, they would have a better idea. Barring that , they just went ahead and gave it to the kids anyway.
Now we'll find out two years down the road :)

Yep, getting the jab is a completely different ball game then simply getting covid / influenza.
