A Research paper published in a medical journal recently has warned of the onset of diabetes post-Covid-19. The paper, published in the International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, gives conclusive evidence that Covid-19 patients without a medical history developed diabetes irrespective of age and Body Mass Index (BMI).

The research paper’s author Dr Rujuta Katkar mentions a series of observations among eight patients aged between 36 and 74 years. These patients, according to Dr Katkar, had no medical history or even family history of diabetes but developed it after Covid-19.
