The COVID-19 virus can cause diabetes, new studies find

**Guno צְבִי** · 06-10-2021, 01:59 PM

Most people will recover from COVID without longer-term problems, but doctors have noticed that some patients go on to develop diabetes.

Now, new research is finding that the virus may infect and destroy certain cells that are crucial for keeping diabetes at bay. Armed with this new knowledge, scientists are now racing to understand how to best prevent this from happening in patients with COVID-19.

Diabetes already contributes to 10-15% of deaths in the United States. In 2017, nearly 34.2 million people, or 10.5% of the U.S. population, had diabetes. Per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. Of those with diabetes, nearly 1.6 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that attacks pancreatic beta cells to reduce insulin production.

Bad news for America and the world.

Thanks to deniers and fools, the impact of this disease has been far worse than it ever needed to be.

Right the CDC reports that most diabetes is type 2 and that 89% of adult Americans with with diabetes are overweight. Isn't obesity a risk factor for covid as well?

It has been decades since I have had bacon. Not for the obvious reasons, but I just do not enjoy it.

Oh trust me, it's very obvious that you're a fat sack of shit. The minor act of replying to me probably strains your congested heart.

Yes, I have been. Discrimination is a good thing. Bullying is a good thing. Societal pressure to conform is what keeps people from becoming gigantic turds.
