Overeating, lack of physical activities and lack of of sleeping are linked to the increase of diabetes risk in most people. According to a recent study published the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM), people who don’t give their brain and body enough time to relax and sleep contribute to the development of insulin resistance and reduced glucose tolerance, which in turn may increase the long-term risk of diabetes.
The study found that many Americans sleep fewer than six hours at night, and those people have in previous studies demonstrated an increased risk of developing diabetes.
“Our findings raise the possibility that when the unhealthy aspects of the Westernized lifestyle are combined with reduced sleep duration, this might contribute to the increased risk of many overweight and sedentary individuals developing diabetes,” said Plamen Penev, MD, PhD, of the University of Chicago and a senior author of the study. “If confirmed by future larger studies, these results would indicate that a healthy lifestyle should include not only healthy eating habits and adequate amounts of physical activity, but also obtaining a sufficient amount of sleep.”
Your body needs his eight hours of sleep every night in order to regenerate its power for the next day.

Oh my… I better go to bed earlier than usual because no joke in a 7 day week I only sleep on Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Maybe I should get a test because it’s been like that for 8 years. A bit of exercise will help as well.
