The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India said today that India has reported 5,326 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the country’s total number of cases since the pandemic began to 3,47,52,164. Shivraj Singh Chouhan led the Madhya Pradesh government to face opposition criticism for allegedly underreporting coronavirus cases, despite its good performance in the state’s Lok Sabha and parliamentary votes. Former Chief Minister Kamal accused the state government of underreporting Covid-related deaths. Nath claimed that more than 100,000 people died of infections in the state in March and April. The Bhopal police filed an FIR against Kamal Nath, the leader of the opposition party in parliament, because of his controversial “India variant” coronavirus remarks. The ruling BJP accused Kamal Nath of spreading misleading information through his comments on the B.1.617 variant, which he called the “Indian variant”.

Covid infection linked to more type 1 diabetes in kids and teens: Study

Two studies that did not definitively resolve the question of whether the coronavirus can cause the chronic disease of diabetes found that Covid-19 in children and adolescents appeared to increase the chance of acquiring diabetes. Over two years after the pandemic’s commencement, researchers from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health looked at new type 1 diabetes diagnoses using national health registries. They discovered that type 1 diabetes was roughly 60% more likely to develop in children who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The risk within 30 days of a Covid infection confirmed by a PCR test was examined by the researchers. Young adults were also included in a Scottish study that was presented at the European Link for the Study of Diabetes meeting. This study indicated an increased risk one month following the viral sickness, but the researchers said they discovered no association after that point.

The authors of both studies emphasised that their findings do not necessarily imply a causal link between diabetes and the coronavirus. Other potential causes were emphasised, such as delays in seeking medical attention during the epidemic, the introduction of other diseases, and alterations in way of life brought on by lockdowns.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, an associate professor at the Nuffield department of primary care health sciences at the University of Oxford, stated: “There are a lot of plausible reasons that Covid-19 might lead to development of type 1 diabetes, but this remains in no way proved.”
According to a paper earlier this week in the medical journal The Lancet, the number of people with type 1 diabetes, in which the pancreas fails to generate the hormone insulin, may increase from 8.4 million to 17.4 million by the year 2040.

The illness, which has no known treatment and is most frequently diagnosed in children, is thought to be caused by a combination of genetics and exposure to particular pathogens, including SARS-Cov-2 as well as a larger family of viruses known as enteroviruses. Type 2 diabetes, which is more prevalent, typically appears later in life as sedentary habits and weight increase mess with the body’s ability to manage sugar.
