The Lancet article (x-posted from r/Coronavirus): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(22)00044-4/fulltext#seccestitle70

This article really hit home: in early March 2020 I thought I might have had Covid, but the symptoms were brief and mild, so I didn't think much of it. But then at the end of April when out of the blue, at age 50, I suddenly was diagnosed with diabetes. My Endocrinologist confirms that it is Type I. In August I took part of a Covid study and as part of it, they performed an antibody test and they found evidence that I still had some Covid-19 antibodies in my system.

I've seen other articles that show a potential link between Covid and an increase in Type I, but reading it in The Lancet (a well-respected scientific journal) just makes me even more positive that I was (ahem) "Positive".

Regardless of how I got it, it still sucks.
