Children who recover from COVID-19 appear to have a significantly higher risk of developing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, according to a new CDC study released on Friday.
In one data set, researchers found a 2.6-fold increase in new diabetes cases among children. In a second data set, they found a 30% increase.
Researchers are unsure whether Type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 will be a chronic condition or a temporary issue that resolves since the children were only followed for about four months. The most common signs and symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, unintentional weight loss, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
