The poor sleep cycle can cause Type 2 Diabetes: Study

Sleep is vital in preventing this metabolic condition, like a balanced diet and exercise. A poor sleep cycle might increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Sleep deprivation causes the production of stress hormones such as cortisol, which leads to insulin resistance. And hence it leads to higher blood sugar levels.

These stress hormones also cause desires for sugary and carbohydrate-rich food, resulting in weight gain and the development of Type II Diabetes.

Hence, if you’re having trouble sleeping, you should keep an eye on your sugar levels. A minimum of 7 hours of sleep per night is considered good sleep. Sleepiness and exhaustion during the day are the most obvious indications of a lack of sleep.
