Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on global health, mortality and healthcare provision. Diabetes has emerged as a key disease entity over the pandemic period, influencing outcomes from COVID-19 but also a tantalising hypothesis that the virus itself may be inducing diabetes. An uptick in diabetes cases over the pandemic has been noted for both type 1 diabetes (in children) and type 2 diabetes but understanding how this increase in incidence relates to the pandemic is challenging. It remains unclear whether indirect effects of the pandemic on behaviour, lifestyle and health have contributed to the increase; whether the virus itself has somehow mediated new-onset diabetes or whether other factors such as stress hyperglycaemic of steroid treatment during COVID-19 infection have played a roll. Within the myriad possibilities are some real challenges in interpreting epidemiological data, assigning diabetes type and understanding what in vitro data are telling us. In this review article we address the issue of newly-diagnosed diabetes during the pandemic, reviewing both epidemiological and basic science data and bringing together both strands of this emerging story.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is a serial publication that integrates the latest original research findings into evidence-based review articles. These articles aim to address key clinical issues related to diagnosis, treatment, and patient management.
Each issue adopts a problem-oriented approach, focusing on key questions and clearly outlining what is known while identifying areas for future research. Practical management strategies are described to facilitate application to individual patients. The series targets physicians in practice or training.
