Short Sleepers Could Have Higher Diabetes Risk

Researchers in the US found that people they described as "short sleepers", that is those who slept less than six hours a night were nearly five times more likely to develop abnormal levels of fasting blood sugar, a condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes.

Short Sleep Duration Affects Development Of Blood Sugar Abnormality That Can Lead To Diabetes

People who sleep less than six hours a night appear to have a higher risk of developing impaired fasting glucose - a condition that can precede type 2 diabetes, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 49th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, appears most often in middle-aged adults. Adolescents and young adults, however, are developing type 2 diabetes at an alarming rate.

Type 2 Diabetes Patients With OSA Benefit From CPAP Which Improves Sleeping Glucose Levels

A study in the Dec. 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine suggests that screening type 2 diabetes patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and treating those who have OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy could improve the management of their hyperglycemia and might favorably influence their long-term prognosis.

Diabetes, High Blood Sugar And Body Clock All Linked In New Study

Diabetes and high levels of blood sugar may be linked to abnormalities in a person's body clock and sleep patterns, according to a genome-wide association study published today in the journal Nature Genetics. Tags: Insomnia Sleeping problems Insomnia information Sleepin

Diabetes Risk Linked To Body Clock Gene

Reviewing the results of ten genome-wide association scans covering over 36,000 people of European descent, an international group of scientists found that a variant of a gene involved in regulating the body clock may also be linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
