A large new study found that peo­ple who re­cov­ered from Covid-19 within the past year are 40% more likely to re­ceive a new di­ag­no­sis of di­a­betes com­pared to those who weren’t in­fected. 

The study adds to ev­i­dence show­ing an in­creased post-Covid-19 risk of car­diometa-bolic con­di­tions, such as di­a­betes as well as heart and kid­ney com­pli­ca­tions. Nor­mally when peo­ple think of long-term Covid-19 symp­toms, they think of prob­lems such as cog­ni­tive is­sues, fa­tigue or short­ness of breath. But sci­en­tists say there are likely dif­fer­ent types of long Covid, and one ap­pears to be de­fined by car­diometa­bolic prob­lems that arise af­ter Covid-19. So far, the World Health Or­ga­ni­za­tion es­ti­mates there have been more than 464 mil­lion cases of Covid-19, so even small per­cent-ages of those peo­ple de­vel­op­ing long-term com­pli­ca­tions would be sig­nif­i­cant.
