People Who Are Unvaccinated Against Covid Are At A 10 Times Higher Risk Of Getting Diabetes

 


Failing to receive the COVID19 vaccine could put patients at higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests.

Researchers from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles discovered that the coronavirus infection increases the risk of diabetes — but that up-front vaccination could curb it.

Type 2 diabetes impairs how the body regulates blood sugar levels and uses sugar, per the Mayo Clinic. While there is no cure currently, symptoms are often treated with exercise, special diets and weight loss.

Researchers concluded that the risk of Type 2 diabetes after COVID-19 infection for unvaccinated patients was 2.7%, with 74% of cases developing post-infection and 30% occurring pre-infection.

The risk for those who were vaccinated dropped to 1%, with only 51% occurring post-infection and 49% prior to exposure.

The combined risk of Type 2 diabetes for both groups, researchers found, was 2.1% – 70% occurred post-infection and 30% occurring prior to exposure.

Researchers estimate that Type 2 diabetes affects 26 million Americans
