Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a multi-system disease that causes multiple complications. It is linked to the development of new-onset diabetes or unmasking of underlying diabetes. Despite the uncertain exact mechanism, pancreatic angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, the main enzyme related to COVID-19 pathophysiology has been implied. COVID-19 vaccine was authorized to help control the rapid spread of COVID-19 disease. We report a case of new-onset diabetes type 2 presenting as hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) in a patient after receiving COVID-19 vaccine with some literature review of the potential mechanisms by which COVID-19 may cause new-onset diabetes type 2.

Aims: Concerns have been raised regarding the potential causal relationship between myocarditis and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. In response, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency actively monitored myocarditis and pericarditis in adolescents who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in South Korea. Understanding the long-term health outcomes of these cases is essential for developing evidence-based national health policies.

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a very significant health issue in the period between 2020 and 2023, forcing research to characterize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sequences and to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 are considered significant therapeutic targets for COVID-19 and emerging evidence has suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) serve a key role in regulating these genes. MiRNAs are short, 19-25 nucleotides in length, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through the sequence-selective recognition of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the regulated mRNAs, eventually repressing translation, commonly, via mRNA degradation.
