London: An international group of 17 experts has claimed that Covid-19 disease can lead to diabetes in healthy people and increase the risk of pre-existing diabetes.

Many scientists, including Stephanie A. Emile of King's College London in the UK, have suggested that there is a double or indirect link between Covid-19 and diabetes.

Researchers said that coronavirus, on the other hand, can lead to diabetes and digestive disorders, which can be fatal.

The scientists said that it is possible that the coronavirus could alter the digestive system of glucose, causing problems in people already with diabetes or the risk of a new disease.
