Dr. Anan, a virologist, unravels why people who have been infected with COVID-19 When you get sick, you’re at risk of developing diabetes.
On March 25, 2022, reporters reported that after Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, a virologist, Biotech, NSTDA, has revealed information from research cases. People who have been infected with COVID-19 The risk of diabetes within 1 year, even if you have a healthy body.
Regarding this matter, Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana posted a message explaining further that Continuing from the study showing that people who have had COVID-19 have a risk of diabetes as high as 40%, this has led to interest in researching the COVID-19 virus. What do you do with your body after getting infected?
I remember reading a study that showed that Beta cells in the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. For controlling blood sugar levels in normal conditions can be infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and destroyed loss of cells that produce insulin That’s why it’s straightforward that explains why people who have already been diagnosed with COVID are more likely to develop diabetes. How the virus gets to the pancreas is a mystery. Because if it can be prevented, this Long Covid situation may be more or less preventable.
Further research found another study on the characteristics of beta cells that have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. may not cause the cell to die or lost alone Surviving cells may undergo a phenomenon known as Transdifferentiation, or simply, is a phenomenon in which the virus changes the properties of cells to act differently instead of beta cells to produce the hormone insulin. to reduce the amount of sugar in the bloodstream back to being stimulated by the virus to produce the hormone glucagon that increases blood sugar levels instead
causing hyperglycemia in COVID patients And it may be one of the factors that can be found after recovering from covids. Because such cells are still in the patient’s body.
