Do you know what is the most important cause of diabetes?

Genetics, being overweight, and eating more are no longer the main cause of your diabetes. A recent study showed that workers who face increased work pressures are more likely to develop diabetes compared to their colleagues who are not exposed to these pressures.
According to "Reuters", researchers analyzed the data of 3730 workers in the petroleum industry in China. None of the workers developed diabetes at the start of the study.

However, after 12 years of follow-up, the researchers wrote in Diabetes Care, those who performed increasingly stressful tasks had a 57% higher risk of developing diabetes.
The risk of infection increased during the same period to 68% for workers who experienced adjustment problems such as social support from friends and family or time spent on recreational activities.

"Major changes in work may affect our diabetes risk," said Mika Kivimaki, a researcher at College London in the United Kingdom who was not involved in the study.
"So it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy weight, even during busy periods of work," he added by email.
The World Health Organization says that nearly one in 2014 adults worldwide developed diabetes in 2030 and that the disease will become the seventh leading cause of death by XNUMX.
The majority of these people have type XNUMX diabetes, which is associated with obesity and ageing, which occurs when the body cannot use or produce enough insulin to convert blood sugar into energy. Neglecting treatment can lead to nerve damage, amputations, blindness, heart disease and strokes.
The study examined different forms of work-related stress and found that, among other things, feeling overworked, lack of clarity about expectations or work responsibilities, and physical work stress were the biggest risk factors for diabetes.
The study also found that among the coping factors that had an impact on diabetes risk were poor self-care and a lack of mental coping skills.
