> Consider that SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to increase risk for newly diagnosed diabetes in children

This hasn't been shown at all, that study can only show that diabetes and Covid are correlated. There's no reason to think the causation doesn't run in the opposite direction.

You saying "it hasn't been shown" doesn't mean it hasn't been shown.

> What are the implications for public health practice?

> The increased diabetes risk among persons aged <18 years following COVID-19 highlights the importance of COVID-19 prevention strategies in this age group, including vaccination for all eligible persons and chronic disease prevention and treatment.

Please note the word “following,” which does not mean “caused by.” The study was not designed to show causation, and it does not do so, the CDC’s irresponsible communication strategy notwithstanding.
