Type 2 diabetes rates in US youth rose 62% after Covid pandemic began
Diabetes is complex and a simplistic jump to "Covid <i>directly</i> causes Diabetes" is very likely incorrect.<p>From the article itself:<p><pre><code>    Diabetes risk factors may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic including limited physical activity, increased sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances, and increased intake of processed foods.
</code></pre>
and note that diabetes has increased in very specific groups, not generally at the same rate across <i>everybody</i>  that caught Covid.<p>For a comprehensive picture of multifactor incidence of diabetes see, say, this Australian health release:<p><a href="https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/diabetes/diabetes/contents/total-diabetes/type-2-diabetes" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/diabetes/diabetes/contents/t...</a><p>lots of graphs showing incidence against age, sex, socioeconimcs, etc.
