In a recent study, researchers found that coronavirus can lead to metabolism problems, and sometimes even diabetes because it affects insulin signaling.
Osaka University scientists published a study in the June issue of the journal Metabolism, stating that “Covid-19 can cause multiple organ damages as well as metabolic abnormalities such as hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and new onset of diabetes” by interfering with insulin signaling.
