Almost everyone is already familiar with corona damage, but when it comes to damage that appears mainly in children the information is a little less accessible and known.



A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States last weekend examined the prevalence of diabetes

in children under the age of 18 who also had corona. The findings are alarming.

For 18-year-olds for a year or more, from March 1, 2020 to June 2021, comparing those who occurred in Corona with those who did not.

The researchers found that there was an increase in diabetes in both groups, although the rates were quite different: in the group of those who did not have corona there was a 30 percent increase in diabetes, while in the group that did in Corona there was a 2.6-fold increase in the incidence of diabetes.

"Even a 30 percent increase is a large increase in risk," says Dr. Sharon Saida, a researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and the research firm. "



The findings of the study highlight the importance of vaccinating all children against corona, and how important it is to protect younger children who are not yet able to get vaccinated." Said Saida.

This may be a situation that will not go away later.

Another study, also published by the Centers for Disease Control last Friday, found that two doses of the vaccine protected young people hospitalized between the ages of 12 and 18 from severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome. Prof. Julio Weinstein is director of the diabetes research unit at Wolfson Medical Center and a senior diabetic The DMC at Diabetes Center says that "with the advent of the corona virus, we knew it could damage various organs in the body."

"Until now we were used to the virus affecting health, the heart and probably also penetrating and damaging different parts of the brain and digestive system but now we are learning that it can also damage the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ that has two functions - one related to the digestive system and the other has cells Special, beta cells that produce the hormone insulin which is what controls and regulates blood sugar levels.Once these cells are damaged there are no other cells in the body or ability to produce insulin by another organ.In the case of insulin there are only beta cells, if they are destroyed there is no way back. "When the child or adult is affected by beta cells and the number of beta cells decreases significantly, then the body cannot produce an adequate amount of insulin that it should have produced, and so the sugar levels rise and this is called diabetes."



In addition, Prof. Weinstein says that the study proves the importance of the vaccine for children as well: "The study showed that children who did not receive the vaccine and contracted corona are at risk of developing diabetes. If until now we were afraid of corona because of the immediate effect We understand that this has additional consequences and therefore we must be vaccinated and protected from the virus. "
