Results from research published in the journal Diabetes Care add scientific evidence about diabetes with Parkinson’s disease. One of the studies say adults have diabetes are at risk of developing Parkinson’s disease within 15 years compared with people who are not diabetic.

The team of researchers from Denmark says diabetes and Parkinson’s disease may be caused by basically the same thing. They compared 2,000 patients with Parkinson’s Adult 10,000 people the same age but not with Parkinson’s disease (control group).

In general, 6.5 percent of patients with Parkinson’s have had diabetes for 2 years before they were diagnosed with a disease marked by tremors and muscle stiffness this. In comparison, only 5 percent of people from the control group who had diabetes for 2 years earlier.

The study also showed diabetes increased the risk threefold to suffer from Parkinson’s. The results obtained after the researchers included factors of age, sex and smoking habits.

How does diabetes lead to Parkinson’s itself has not been known clearly. But researchers suspect inflammation around the body will cause damage to cells. Another factor is genetic.
