Having friendly colleagues at work can reduce your risk of developing diabetes by almost up to a quarter, according to a new study. While the development of type 2 diabetes is more commonly associated with risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, and physical inactivity, research has shown that stress can also have a significant impact.
Dr Sharon Toker of Tel Aviv University?s Faculty of Management found that low levels of social support and high levels of stress in the workplace can accurately predict the development of diabetes over the long term ? even in employees who appear to be healthy otherwise.
