Endocrinologist Concern: Antibiotic in patients with Covid causes diabetes

Fear of Covid and indiscriminate use of antibiotics has caused diabetes in many people, including those infected. The concern was raised by endocrinologist Dashamir Gjergji who points out that despite the lack of statistics, the number of diabetics during the coronavirus pandemic period has increased significantly and most of them who have this disease have discovered during this period.

In an interview with ABC, the doctor says:

"We do not have real statistics, but in this period that the use of these drugs associated with the stress that Covid gives has led to an increase in the number of people affected by diabetes."

However, the endocrinologist says that those who have had diabetes as a result of using antibiotics and cortisone, will not last long.

"Fortunately, if it came from cortisone products, it is not diabetes that lasts long."

According to the doctor, 1/3 of the victims from Covid have been affected by diabetes: The virus has been more aggressive precisely in these patients!

According to the data, during the pandemic period, endocrinologists treated up to 100 diabetics a day who were also affected by coronavirus. In Albania about 10% of the population results in diabetes, the second most prevalent disease after heart problems.
