Diabetics More Prone to Hearing Loss

The list of problems associates with having diabetes seems to keep growing. The latest is that diabetics are “twice as likely to have hearing loss as those who do not have diabetes.” I didn’t realize this, but the UPI.com article says hearing loss has some times to “fatigue, stress and depression” as well as many other things like avoiding people in public.

All the more reason for diabetics to go for regular check ups. Now we can mark “checking hearing” on our list of things to keep an eye on.
