Diabetes is linked to poor lifestyle.
People who suffer from job burn-out may be prone to developing type 2 diabetes, research suggests.
An Israeli study of 677 mostly male, middle-aged workers found those affected by burn-out were nearly twice as likely to develop the condition.
When the possible effect of blood pressure levels was eliminated, the risk was more than four-fold higher.
The study, in Psychosomatic Medicine, suggests stress can be added to other factors known to increase risk.
