One more evidence about the benefits of sleep for health. Research shows that quality and adequate sleep can help stabilize blood sugar. That is why people with diabetes are advised to arrange his sleep patterns.
In the journal Diabetes Care, researchers from the University of Chicago revealed that diabetic patients have poor sleep patterns have higher glucose levels and more difficult to control the disease.
The researchers compared 40 patients with diabetes mellitus with 531 healthy people.The researchers wanted to know the potential link between quality of sleep, blood sugar levels and other markers that show diabtes controlled.
"We found in people with diabetes, there is a link between poor sleep quality with a high blood sugar levels. The link that we do not get in people without diabetes," Christian said Knutson, a researcher.
For his research, Knutson monitor sleep the respondents by placing the monitor that is placed in the hands of the activity. "When the hand-driven means being awake a lot," he said. The respondents also reported their sleep quality.
The team found that people with diabetes who experience sleep disorders have a fasting blood sugar levels 23 percent higher, fasting insulin levels 48 percent higher and insulin resistance 82 percent higher compared with the diabetes but normal sleep patterns.
Responding to the results of such research, Dr.Joel Zonszein, director of Clinical Diabetic Center, in New York, USA, said the link between glucose levels and sleep patterns like "egg and chicken".
"It is difficult to determine whether high blood sugar levels caused by poor sleep quality or patients who have high glucose levels are not able to sleep well, or there are other causes," said Zonszein.
He also mentions people with diabetes are usually obese and overweight would interfere with sleep quality. Obesity is also associated with sleep apnea or stopped breathing briefly during sleep.
However Zonszein and Knutson agreed that people with diabetes should pay more attention to sleep patterns. "Reducing stress is one way to get to sleep soundly," he said.
