“…Opposite findings were published by the CDC in the US Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which showed an increased risk of pediatric diabetes with the SARS-CoV-2 infection[ 26 ]. Heavy criticism was immediately raised based on the results[ 27 ], including the possible mixture of T1D and T2D cases, the lack of data on insured children (1/3 rd of all United States children) and others. A more accurate analysis on possible relations between the SARS-CoV-2 infection and T1D incidence was published by Scottish authors[ 28 ].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has heavily affected health worldwide, with the various forms of diabetes in children experiencing changes at various levels, including epidemiology, diabetic ketoacidosis rates and medical care. Type 1 diabetes showed an apparent increase in incidence, possibly owing to a direct damage of the virus to the β-cell. Diabetic ketoacidosis also increased in association with the general fear of referring patients to the hospital. Most children with diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) did not show a worsening in metabolic control during the first lockdown, possibly owing to a more controlled diet by their parents. Glucose sensor and hybrid closed loop pump technology proved to be effective in all patients with type 1 diabetes during the pandemic, especially because the downloading of data allowed for the practice of tele-medicine. Telemedicine has in fact grown around the world and National Health Systems have started to consider it as a routine activity in clinical practice. The present review encompasses all the aspects related to the effects of the pandemic on the different forms of diabetes in children.

Highlights We question certain aspects of the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (January 2022) showing a significant increase in the incidence of diabetes in children after COVID‐19 infection. We are concerned at the source of data being limited to commercial health insurances and lack of factoring race, ethnicity, social determinants of health, body mass index, type of diabetes, and viral variants in the interpretation of these data.
