Study Finds Higher Risk of Severe Dengue in People with Type 2 Diabetes
A review paper led by diabetologist Dr. Jothydev Kesavadev highlights that people with Type 2 diabetes face a significantly higher risk of severe dengue complications due to impaired immune function and vascular damage from high blood sugar. The paper, to be published in the International Journal of Diabetes Technology, recommends integrating dengue vaccination into routine diabetes care to reduce severe illness and hospitalisation in dengue-endemic regions. The findings were presented at a global diabetes convention and released by Kerala's Health Minister.
