INS and infection: Without data showing altered insulin sensitivity during or immediately following infection, it is not clear whether RSV changes insulin sensitivity immediately or whether insulin sensitivity is only impacted at a much later time due to inflammatory responses and the development of DM type I. Nevertheless, epidemiological studies postulate that RSV infection increases the relative risk for developing DM type I, suggesting RSV infection can be related to peaks of DM type I incidence [78,79,80].
