Rates of newly diagnosed diabetes, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol were higher in the 90 days after COVID-19 infection
eople infected with COVID-19 during the Omicron era face an increased risk of diabetes and related diseases, according to a study showing that long-term dangers of the virus have persisted since the strain began spreading.
Omicron has been seen as a milder version of COVID compared with earlier strains, leading to lower rates of hospitalization and death than Delta and the strain that first emerged from China in early 2020. Since Omicron began sweeping the world in late 2021, the vast majority of U.S. infections have been traced to the variant and its descendants, reinforcing the importance of watching for diabetes in people recovering from COVID.
Through the Omicron era, new diabetes diagnoses were nearly three times as common among unvaccinated people after infection than during the pre-infection period. High blood pressure, cholesterol and elevated levels of other blood fats were almost twice as common after infection among the unvaccinated. Among vaccinated people who got COVID, the risk of diabetes remained about the same before and after the infection, while the risk for other diseases decreased.
