JUNE 26, 2001 Research reported on Monday at a American Diabetes Association conference suggests lack of sleep may contribute to Type 2 diabetes. A study by the University of Chicago Department of Medicine examined 27 adults. Those who averaged less than five hours a night of sleep were 40 percent less sensitive to insulin, causing them to secrete more of the hormone in order to maintain the same sugar levels as normal sleepers. Since Type 2 arises when the body doesn't respond properly to the sugar-regulating hormone, lack of sleep demonstrates a link, say researchres. Type 2 diabetes affects Native Americans at high rates. It is appearing in young Natives at earlier ages. Get the Story:
