Long‐Term Risk of Incident Type 2 Diabetes Following SARS‐CoV‐2 Infection: A Population‐Based Study in British Columbia, Canada
SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM that persisted for up to 3 years, particularly among unvaccinated and severely ill individuals. These findings highlight the importance of post-infection metabolic surveillance and the potential protective role of vaccination.
