White, middle-aged women reporting high levels of job strain and little work-related social support appear to be at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
Among the women, about 10 percent of all type 2 diabetes cases could have been prevented had the job-related stressors of little control, high demands, and little social support been eliminated.
People need to recognize the importance stress plays in their overall physical health by looking at stress exposures as another unhealthy factor similar to obesity, low physical activity, and poor diet.
I would add that it's particularly important for women with any reproductive health issue to be cognisant of stress since stress obviously has a major influence on blood sugar and insulin levels which ultimately creates hormonal imbalances.
