Diabetes is complex and a simplistic jump to "Covid
directly causes Diabetes" is very likely incorrect.
From the article itself:
Diabetes risk factors may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic including limited physical activity, increased sedentary behaviors, sleep disturbances, and increased intake of processed foods.
and note that diabetes has increased in very specific groups, not generally at the same rate across
everybody that caught Covid.
For a comprehensive picture of multifactor incidence of diabetes see, say, this Australian health release:
https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/diabetes/diabetes/contents/t...
lots of graphs showing incidence against age, sex, socioeconimcs, etc.
