Question 39605 — health

Summary

Ms. Myriane Houplain draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the impact of covid-19 in the development of cases of diabetes. More than 4.5 million people in France are affected by diabetes, almost a million of whom are unaware of it. In some cases, this pathology significantly disrupts the lifestyle of people affected by it and presents a real risk for their general health. People with diabetes have now been identified for many months as being among the profiles at risk of developing a severe form of covid-19. But it seems that this new virus can also be a trigger for diabetes in people who have no history of this pathology. The cause of the development of this diabetes could partly lie in the damage that covid-19 causes to the good functioning of the pancreas, the organ producing the protein hormone insulin, responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. But the development of a sedentary lifestyle linked to various confinements could also be a cause of the appearance of this pathology in certain patients affected by covid-19. Consequently, she asks him to kindly provide her with an inventory of the situation as well as to indicate the measures which can be taken in order, on the one hand, to develop the diagnosis of these new cases of diabetes and, on the other hand, to provide specific support for these doubly vulnerable people.
