Description
Yolanda Lau and co-authors study how often people with multiple sclerosis in England develop diabetes, and what that pairing does to their outcomes, in a cohort study from 2026. The data came from linked primary care, hospital, and death records. Each person with the nerve disease was matched with up to ten people without it.
Over an average of fifteen years of follow-up, diabetes arose more often in the sclerosis group. Once diabetes appeared, hospital visits rose sharply and stays grew much longer, a median of twelve days against two. Death risk also climbed by a strong margin. Similar patterns held in the comparison group. The authors argue that preventing diabetes matters greatly in this population.
