 Loneliness can lead to diabetes and other illnesses

Berkeley, California: For the first time, a link between long-term loneliness and type 2 diabetes has been discovered. In this regard, thousands of people over the age of 65 on average have been studied for many years.

In the beginning of the study in the UK, no one was diagnosed with diabetes, but later some people developed type 2 diabetes. Overall, six percent of them developed it and developed type 2 diabetes.

In this study, experts also noted the severity of loneliness in people with diabetes and found that some people were more likely to develop diabetes.

The study, conducted at the University of California, used a scale developed by a psychologist to indicate loneliness. The questionnaire assessed the severity of loneliness among people and asked a question, "How many times a day do you miss someone and how intensely do you consider friends a part of your life?"

Experts have found that loneliness leads to alcoholism, inactivity and smoking. In addition, questions were asked about the weight, blood pressure and other ailments of all participants. In addition, all aspects of mental illness were thoroughly examined. Experts also noted depression and stress. Other factors included social isolation and general isolation.

Most importantly, loneliness causes the body to release certain hormones that cause depression and stress. Cortisol is the most prominent of these. It can also lead to heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. But science says that if your loneliness lasts too long, it has profound negative effects.
