Furthermore‚ those who suffered kidnapping or torture acquire PTSD in 50.8% of cases5. In addition‚ studies show that delayed-onset PTSD‚ characterized by symptoms that arise over 6 months after exposure to trauma‚ is increasingly frequent among retired war veterans6.

DM results from insulin resistance‚ a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly‚ sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency.
