Investigating the link between COVID-19 and diabetes development

CODA: COvid and Diabetes Assessment

NIH-funded research Vanderbilt University Medical Center · NIH-10891716

This study is looking at how COVID-19 might affect the development and worsening of diabetes in both kids and adults, and it's inviting people who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes—whether or not they've had COVID-19—to share their experiences through surveys.

What this research studies

This research focuses on understanding how COVID-19 infection may contribute to the onset and progression of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It aims to recruit a diverse group of patients, including both children and adults, who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and have either had a known COVID-19 infection or have no known infection in the past year. Utilizing a national network of health systems, the study will identify potential participants through electronic health records and engage them through various communication methods. Participants will regularly provide information through surveys to help researchers gather data on the relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes within the last three months, particularly those who have had a COVID-19 infection recently.

Not a fit: Patients who have not been diagnosed with diabetes or have not had a COVID-19 infection in the relevant timeframe may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better understanding and management of diabetes in patients who have had COVID-19.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated a potential link between COVID-19 and diabetes, suggesting that this research builds on existing findings rather than being entirely novel.
