Just another reason to tie the knot; know its connection with type 2 diabetes according to a study

A study conducted by the University of Luxembourg and the University of Ottawa found that people who are married or in a relationship are at a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Researchers examined data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing on 3335 adults, aged between 50 and 89 who did not have any diabetes history.

Researchers claim that being married or living with your partner helps keeping blood sugar levels under control, especially among older people. 

The findings also suggest that the nature and quality of relationship have no effect on blood glucose levels but just having a relationship is what matters.
