Poor sleep quality and late sleep are related to poor blood glucose control after meals

A new study published in Diabetology (a journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) found that late sleep and poor sleep quality are related to elevated blood sugar levels and poor blood sugar control after meals

The study was conducted by Neli Tsereteli of Malm®, Lund University Diabetes Center, Sweden, Malm®, Lund University Diabetes Center, Sweden, and Professor Paul Franks and colleagues from the Chen School of Public Health, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

The authors investigated whether fluctuations in sleep time, efficiency, or time each night affect the response of glucose after a meal (postprandial) to breakfast the next day

Diet, exercise, and sleep are the basic components of a healthy life>

Sleep quality also has a direct causal impact on many life-threatening diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D); obstructive sleep apnea and other diseases caused by sleep disorders and T2D prevalence and the disease The risk of complications is related

Author's note: "Although there are many large prospective cohort studies that focus on self-reported relationships between sleep, disease, and health, objective data on sleep and postprandial glucose metabolism usually come from small studies that are conducted in a strictly controlled environment.

Researchers observed the relationship between sleep (time, efficiency, and sleep and waking) between midpoint and postprandial blood glucose response (changes in blood glucose levels after eating a meal), and 953 of the research team composed of different macronutrients at breakfast Healthy adults from the United Kingdom and the United States

The study found that although there is no statistically significant correlation between the length of sleep and the postprandial blood glucose response, there is a significant interaction when the nutritional content of breakfast is also taken into account

The authors also found a significant link between sleep efficiency (the ratio of sleep time to total sleep time), which indicates that sleep is disturbed, and blood sugar control has nothing to do with the nutritional content of the next day’s breakfast

Sleep time has a significant effect on blood sugar, and the midpoint of late sleep is related to high blood sugar

The author said: "Our data shows that sleep time, efficiency and blood sugar control after mid-order meals are important factors at the population level, and it also shows that optimizing sleep recommendations may need to be adjusted for these individuals.

They concluded: "The findings of this study can provide guidance for life>
