Core Tip We note convergence between Carmon et al’s Israeli study [elevated pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1DM) incidence, lost seasonality peri-coronavirus disease 2019] and our Lombardy data: A 2020 “step-increase” in pediatric T1DM, stable elevated rates (2020-2023, vaccine-unrelated). Combined data suggest the pandemic triggered lasting higher T1DM incidence (likely via severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-mediated beta-cell/immune changes), stressing global surveillance for pandemic-autoimmune disease links.
