"The incidence of new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) rose during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although children with SARS-CoV-2 infection are more likely to develop diabetes than their uninfected peers, prior reports did not distinguish T1DM from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Kendall et al. study confirms an increased risk of new-onset T1DM in children (aged ≤18 years) after SARS-CoV-2 infection."
