Diabetes incidence before and after the pandemic onset in adult subgroups with prediabetes.

Summary: Did the COVID-19 pandemic change how many people got diabetes? Researchers looked at over 300,000 adults who already had prediabetes and were overweight. They found that after the pandemic started, more people began developing type 2 diabetes. The numbers went up for almost everyone, but Hispanic adults saw the biggest jump in new diabetes cases. This shows that the pandemic affected our health in many ways, and we need better plans to help people stay healthy.
