[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2411758, member: 365308"] So for type 1 there's the triggering of a storm of inflammation plus over reaction of the immune system with a background that there have been increasing type 1 diagnosis possibly due to ?/(leaky gut, less natural birth, low vitamin D?). They don't seem to know! Type 2 - again inflammation causes insulin resistance and we know where people have had a serious reaction to the virus this takes a while to die down. We also know that those getting iller with Covid have metabolic disease (obesity, hypertension and possibly diabetes in situ). Being treated with steroids and/or being sedentary due to the illness would all decrease your insulin sensitivity too. We also know that the world is obsessed with Covid so almost anything that happens afterwards seems to get attributed to it which is why we need more to understand if it is a thing and if it is why it is a thing. Then perhaps, rather than trying to eliminate the virus we could make people healthier so they deal with it better not withstanding that age is still the biggest risk. [/QUOTE]
