The incidence of type 2 diabetes in children appears to have doubled during the COVID-19 pandemic, data from two new US studies suggest, with the lead investigator of one saying she was "surprised by the staggering increase in cases of type 2 diabetes...and the increase in severity of presentation."

Findings from the two separate retrospective chart reviews — one conducted in Washington, DC, and the other in Baton Rouge, Louisiana — were presented June 25 at the virtual American Diabetes Association (ADA) 81st Scientific Sessions.

Why hell would anyone be surprised at a spike in diabetes in an already sedentary society forced to be even moreso? Shocked that it's most prevalent in places with no "outside" to enjoy during a lockdown?

These people truly are stupid.
