A recent British study: Diabetes may lead to 57 other diseases!

A recent study revealed that type 2 diabetes leads to an increased risk of 57 other diseases, including cancer, kidney disease and neurodegenerative diseases, according to the Guardian newspaper.

Through the most comprehensive study focused on middle-aged people with type 2 diabetes, researchers at the University of Cambridge found that these cases are associated with a higher incidence of 57 long-term diseases, according to Al Hurra.

On average, people with the condition had these health problems five years earlier than people without the condition.

Experts described the findings as "alarming" and underlined the urgent need to reduce the risk of more people developing type 2 diabetes.

In the study, presented at the Diabetes Professional Conference in the UK, data from three million people were examined from records from a biobank, a type of biorepository that stores human biological samples typically for use in research, as well as 116 common middle-aged conditions.

It was found that people with type 2 diabetes were more likely to develop cancer by 9%, five times more likely to develop kidney disease, and four times more likely to develop liver cancer, in addition to being exposed to an increased risk of other problems in the eyes, nerves, digestive system, or Even mental health.

The study focused on people over the age of 30.

The researchers found that the highest risks occurred when people with type 2 diabetes were diagnosed under the age of 50.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer from type 2 diabetes.

In the United States alone, more than 37 million Americans have diabetes, of whom as many as 95 percent have type 2, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The CDC indicates that type 2 diabetes usually affects people over the age of 45;

But increasing numbers of young people are now afflicting it, in part because of rising obesity rates.
