If you work unusual hours, your health could be at risk...


If you or someone you know works unusual or rotating shifts, that could increase the risk of type 2 diabetes...  

A new study of U.S. nurses found that those who worked three or more night shifts a month, along with some day shifts, were 20% more likely to develop diabetes. Those statistics increased significantly for those who worked rotating shifts over the course of 10 years.

Experts say that people who work rotating shifts need to discuss it with their doctor. The risk of diabetes can be reduced with some lifestyle adjustments and regular screenings.
