Women with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes report worse menopause symptoms, according to a recent study. Researchers surveyed 296 South Korean females aged 45 to 64, comparing those with diabetes or prediabetes to 76 who had neither. Postmenopausal women with diabetes or prediabetes experienced more intense physical symptoms like hot flashes and joint pain compared to those without the conditions.
