Better sleep, better blood sugar? Study links sleep patterns to glucose stability

Research has found that inadequate sleep duration and late sleep onset are associated with increased glycemic variability in adults. Blood sugar regulation plays a critical role in metabolic health, with fluctuations in glucose levels linked to diabetes complications. Previous research has identified insufficient sleep as a risk factor for impaired glucose metabolism. In the study, researchers conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate the relationship between long-term sleep duration and onset timing with glycemic variability. The study analyzed 1,156 participants, aged 46 to 83, from the Guangzhou Nutrition and Health Study. Participants underwent self-reported sleep assessments across multiple visits and...
