GREATER NOIDA: When a 43-year-old woman from Indirapuram got admitted to Sharda hospital in August with symptoms indicating Covid-19, she was in for a shock. Besides the presence of the deadly virus, she was also detected with diabetes despite having no history of the disease.
A similar fate awaited a 48-year-old man from Jewar, who was taken to the same hospital in September. He refused to come to terms with the results, citing a healthy lifestyle that included milk, desi ghee and daily long walks in the farm.
However, around 8% to 10% of all Covid patients who were detected with comorbidities over the past few months have been also found to have diabetes or hypertension for the first time, according to some hospitals in the city.
