Moreover, this rising burden is no longer confined to the elderly; it is now increasingly affecting younger adults as well. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that 7 in 10 people living with diabetes are of working age. Accordingly, the workplace plays a major role in risk of diabetes, as well as provides a unique avenue to mitigate that risk  \nSeveral factors have been implicated in increasing the risk of diabetes at the workplace. A longitudinal study reported that workplace standing time was negatively associated with incidence ofT2DM although these associations did not remain statistically significant after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle variables. [1] Interestingly substantial work‑related overqualifications was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident T2DM, while underqualification did not affect the same.[2] This study suggests that dissatisfaction with work space roles may also contribute to T2DM risk. Employees who experience bullying or violence at work place also have a higher risk of incident diabetes. [3] Employment in jobs requiring interaction with individuals not employed at their workplace such as patients and clients increases emotional demands and confrontation. This has been associated with increased risk of T2DM especially in females.[4] Workplace sexual harassment is also associated with higher risk of future T2DM. [5] In Sweden, professional drivers, cleanersand manufacturing workers were three times more likely to develop T2DM as compared to physiotherapists and college teachers.[6] In a study from South India, sitting duration of more than 3 hours in the workplace when combined with positive family history of diabetes, tripled the risk of future T2DM.[7] In the US, a study found that working in a high effort and low reward work environments was associated with an increased risk of diabetes. The effect of built environment, especially the urban sprawl, encourages automobile dependency and reduces walkability. High neighbourhood walkability has been associated with reduced risk ofT2DM.[8] Cross‑sectional data from Sweden suggests that females employed in working in jobs with low decision latitude and those who reported a low sense of coherence may have two to fourfold higher risks of diabetes mellitus‑ this supports the role of work stress in diabetes pathogenesis.[9] These risks were confirmed in a large cohort study from the UK called the Whitehall study. This study reported a high strain and low work‑related social support environment led to a two‑fold increase in diabetes risk in women.[10] Interestingly, male workers did not show this effect.  \nShift workers are uniquely predisposed to the risk of diabetes. A study from India, reported an alarmingly high prevalence of obesity and undiagnosed diabetes in nursing personnel.[11] Rotational shift work also adversely effects insulin sensitivity  \nand post prandial triglyceride responses. [12] This effect of shift work on metabolism appears to occur through altered expression of circadian genes—the expression of these genes was correlated with insulin resistance and postprandial triglyceride elevation.[13] Data from the UK Biobank suggests that night shift work in general and rotational night shift work in particular increased the odds of developing diabetes. [14] Similarly, a large cohort study of female nurses in the US has shown higher risk of diabetes in those involved in rotating night shift work.[15] The risk of diabetes seems to increase along with longer duration of shift work as reported in the Black Women’s Health Study in the USA.[16]  \nConsidering the various factors increasing the risk of diabetes at the workplace, efforts have been made to address these factors and reduce the risk of diabetes.
