It already is present in the Beta variant (B.1.351 lineage) that was first found in South Africa. Now it has appeared with the B.1.617 variants. Everytime the spike protein changes there can be changes that could be better or worse and the question is raised whether the vaccines can handle it.This variant has been found in India, US, UK (about 40 cases) , Portugal, Switzerland, Japan, Poland, Nepal, China and Russia. At this moment, there is no evidence that Delta with K417N makes the virus any more severe or reduces vaccine effectiveness compared to Delta.However, all Delta variants are more transmissible.As for the query you raised I haven't read about Diabetes particularly in relation to the Delta Plus variant. But in general scientists are alarmed of a link between Covid19 and diabetes, specially with children. Even in the case of adults, a UK study of almost 50,000 hospitalized Covid patients found that they were 50% more likely to have diabetes some 20 weeks after discharge than matched controls.Some scientists suspect about the possibility that the pancreas’s insulin-excreting beta cells are destroyed either by the virus or by the body’s response to the infection. Several groups across the world are studying to find out more on this.Note that however, in India, things could be different. They indiscriminately use large doses of multiple Steroids to treat Covid. which ends up as a cause to trigger diabetes.FYI.. these are the current Covid variant classifications.[ATTACH=full]133004[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
