Investigating the link between COVID-19 and diabetes development

CODA: COvid and Diabetes Assessment

NIH-funded research Vanderbilt University Medical Center · NIH-11072747

This study is looking to see how COVID-19 might affect the development and worsening of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and it's inviting both kids and adults who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes—whether or not they've had COVID-19—to join in and share their health information.

What this research studies

This research focuses on understanding how COVID-19 infection may contribute to the onset and progression of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It aims to recruit a diverse group of patients, both adults and children, who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and have either had a known COVID-19 infection or have not been infected in the past year. By utilizing a national network of health systems and diabetes centers, the study will gather data through electronic health records and regular surveys to analyze the biological processes involved. Participants will be contacted through various methods to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive recruitment process.

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 were diagnosed with diabetes more than three months ago or those who have never had a COVID-19 infection 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: Other research has indicated a potential link between viral infections and diabetes onset, suggesting this approach may yield valuable insights.
