Abstract
High level of awareness has been risen and a large amount of information is known regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, not much relevance has been given to the metabolic consequences of the disease. Long COVID or Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, has been studied regarding the symptoms developed after the disease. One of these consequences is type 2 diabetes, which accounts for 2,8% of deaths globally. Non Communicable Diseases (NCD’s) have been deeply studied, since they are the world’s biggest killers, hence it is extremely important to gather all what is known about the incidence of type 2 diabetes as a consequence of COVID-19 worldwide and try to manage these cases, avoiding complications which may lead to higher proportions of DALY’s between other consequences that are burdensome individually and socially, mainly in low GDP countries. The aim of this systematic review is to know how many incident type 2 diabetes cases have been diagnosed worldwide after a COVID-19 infection and in which countries a higher incidence has been shown, hence to raise awareness regarding the metabolic consequences that Long COVID 19 may carry and avoid the increase of Type 2 diabetes globally.
