HealthDay (7/6, Norton) reports, “Loneliness might be a true heartbreaker for people with diabetes – raising their odds of a heart attack even more than unhealthy lifestyle habits do,” according to findings from “a new study of over 18,000 adults with the blood sugar disease” published online in the European Heart Journal. The study team “found that people who reported feeling lonely were up to 26% more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke in the next decade, compared to those who felt more socially connected.”
