A study from the International Journal Of Spine Surgery concluded that individuals with Type-II diabetes have an accelerated rate of spinal degeneration, and the amount of degeneration is more severe than non-diabetics.
We also don't think it's too far of a stretch, although you can't claim this study as a source, to suspect that prolonged elevation of blood sugar levels (AKA diabetes) has detrimental effects on your other joints as well.
We already know that diabetes is a risk factor for nearly every chronic health condition (cancer, heart disease), we might as well add spinal degeneration to that list.
So what can be done about this?
The purpose of this podcast is to discuss this study, it’s implications and possible solutions.
