Authors' conclusion

Epidemiological data indicate that there are serious issues linked to living with type 2 diabetes and work-related outcomes. The extent to which these issues are recognized and understood may be obfuscated or contained by the value which people attach to work-life. More needs to be done to tease out work-related challenges for people with type 2 diabetes to better initiate timely remedial actions.
