As the modern standard of living improves, the incidence of diabetes is continuously rising. Many people can’t help but ask: Is this due to the fact that we eat too much sugar?
Indeed, there is a certain relationship between them, but it is not the only cause. In fact, many other factors are quietly increasing our risk of developing diabetes, and occupational factors are a key aspect that cannot be overlooked.
Let’s consider a case of a middle-aged man whose job requires him to sit for long periods in an office. Due to work pressure, his lifestyle gradually led to weight gain and abdominal fat accumulation.
However, he is unaware that these changes could pose health risks until one day, during a company-organized health check, he is informed that his blood sugar is elevated. The doctor suggests further testing, which ultimately confirms a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.

The doctor told him that sitting for long periods, lack of exercise, and irregular eating habits are the main reasons for his uncontrolled blood sugar. Occupational factors, especially those that require maintaining a position for long periods and lack of physical activity, can significantly increase the risk of diabetes.
There is a driver whose job involves long-distance transport and frequently driving at night, and he also has a casual approach to his diet. Sometimes he can only rely on convenience foods to fill his stomach. Due to the nature of his work, he has almost no time for exercise, leading to a gradual weight increase and declining physical fitness.
Eventually, he notices that he is often thirsty and feels increasingly weak, ultimately being diagnosed with diabetes. His night shift work and irregular eating and sleeping habits severely disrupt his endocrine system, leading to abnormal insulin secretion and function, which in turn triggers diabetes.
Another construction worker, exposed to the wind and sun all year round, works in high-intensity conditions with little assurance of rest periods. Although his work appears to be exhausting, due to insufficient nutritional intake and a diet high in carbohydrates, his blood sugar levels remain consistently high.
