Doctors probe whether COVID-19 is causing diabetes | Inquirer Lifestyle

It is known that infections can stress the body and increase blood sugar levels. But this tends to happen in people predisposed to the disease. Only some of them eventually develop diabetes, and scientists still don’t fully understand why.
