Sleep linked to diabetes
April 28, 2005
I'm quite sure that my long term sleep problems have contributed to my diabetes.
The good news, is that I show on my CPAP machine about 7 1/2 hours of sleep. Unfortunately it hasn't seemed to help.
Long or Short Sleep Time May Be Associated With Diabetes
Sleep duration of six hours or less or nine hours or more is associated with increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), according to the results of a cross-sectional study published in the April 25 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
