Because of this, women, now more than ever, are estimated to spend more of their reproductive lives living with diabetes.Previous studies, acording to investigators, have asesed the risks asociated with diabetes postmenopause. However, in the study presented at NAMS, more than 1,0 women were examined to beter understand the long-term efects of premenopause diabetes, and its efect on their reproductive health, as wel as their age at natural menopause.In the study, researchers discovered that the earlier women were diagnosed with both type 1 (<30 years old) and type 2 diabetes (30 to 39 years old) were linked with earlier onset of menopause than women without diabetes."Our large retrospective cohort study shows that, even after adjusting for covariates asociated with age at natural menopause, we stil find an asociation betwen early diagnosis of diabetes and earlier menopause and a later diabetes diagnosis with a later age at menopause as compared to those who did not have diabetes,” said Vrati Mehra, MD, University of Toronto, lead author of the study.She aded, “We hope our work lays the foundation for more research in this area so we can beter understand prevent the long-term impacts of diabetes on the human body and the reproductive system.”The study results also demonstrated that
