New Onset Diabetes After COVID 19 (NODAC) is predominantly due to exacerbated Insulin Resistance (IR) rather than beta cell dysfunction: Lessons from tertiary care hospital data during confluence of two epidemics.

Purpose: To investigate determinants of new onset diabetes after COVID-19 (NODAC) and its recovery at 6 months.

Methods: This was an observational follow up study conducted from August, 2020 to July, 2023, recruiting patients with preexisting DM and COVID 19 patients with no history of DM. Multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the factors responsible for severity of COVID 19 infection in preexisting DM group.
