Avoiding Diabetes Helps with Incontinence

Overweight women who suffer from pre-diabetes can lower their risk of developing urinary incontinence by preventing the onset of full-blown type 2 diabetes. That's the primary finding of a study published by the Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group based at Maryland's George Washington University School of Medicine. George Washington researchers pointed to past studies showing that type 2 diabetes can increase the risk of urinary incontinence among women. According to this study, efforts to control pre-diabetes through weight management and dietary modification can significantly reduce pre-diabetic women's incontinence risk. Women in the study who avoided the onset of full-blown diabetes were up to 30% less likely to develop incontinence than women who did not successfully manage their condition
