The study, which looked at databases with information for over 2.5 million patients under 18, found that children diagnosed with COVID-19 were about 2.5 times more likely to receive a new diabetes diagnosis a month or more after infection. The health care data, taken from the first full year of the coronavirus pandemic, showed that other, non-COVID-related infections were not found to be associated with increased risk of diabetes diagnosis, leading researchers to look for reasons for this possible link between COVID and diabetes diagnoses. A possible link between COVID-19 and an increased risk of diabetes has also been found in adults. In June, two studies were released that showed the virus's ability to infect pancreatic beta cells, decrease insulin secretion and effective
