Please note that this is a preliminary finding. More research is needed to establish whether COVID-19 can cause diabetes.
In the past, viral infections have been linked to the first time a patient had diabetes symptoms , as viral infections may trigger the destruction of the insulin-producing islet cell “factories” in the pancreas , setting up a chronic autoimmune response. There are recorded cases of acute diabetes developing during mumps and enterovirus infections as well as significant evidence linking one particular enterovirus (Coxsackie-B1), with classical autoimmune type 1 diabetes.
