The article says:-More likely the undiagnosed are being diagnosed..
Francesco Rubino, Professor of Metabolic Surgery at King’s College London and co-lead investigator of the CoviDiab Registry project, said some Covid-19 patients who are testing positive for the disease in hospital already had the disease but were not aware.
“That's obviously a possibility and they discover they have diabetes because they present in a hospital and they get checked and also because the infection actually raises their sugars even more,” he told The Telegraph.
However he said the number of Covid-19 patients being diagnosed with diabetes is “actually higher than you would expect from unknown diabetes being identified on admission to a hospital”.
