People who are used to going to bed late should be careful about diabetes

[Compiled and published by New Sancai] According to a new study by a European medical institution, people who are used to staying up late are nearly 50% more likely to develop type B diabetes than the average person. According to the survey results of the research association, although this kind of people's lifestyle is unhealthy, they also have other bad living habits, such as unrestrained eating, alcoholism, smoking, not liking exercise and other factors. But just this habit of going to bed later increases your risk of type 2 diabetes.

Researchers said that one possibility for this situation is that the biological clock of this kind of person is different from the regular work and rest time of ordinary people. This situation may lead to metabolic disorders and the symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

The study, which aimed to understand the link between body fat and disease, analyzed data from more than 5,000 people who took part in the study. Include each person's customary bedtime and wake-up times, as well as other lifestyle habits or factors that may be associated with diabetes risk.

The study points out that people who have the habit of going to bed late and getting up late are often accompanied by other unhealthy lifestyle habits. For example, you may also have the habit of smoking or eating too much. These factors are also considered to be risk factors for obesity and metabolic disorders, as well as type 2 diabetes.

The study followed more than 220 people who developed type B diabetes over about five years. They found that people with early morning habits were not statistically significantly more likely to develop diabetes than those with normal bedtime habits. People who go to bed late usually have a higher BMI and more body fat. Compared with people with normal sleeping habits, their liver fat content is about ten percent higher. Researchers say liver fat may be a risk factor for type B diabetes.

The study suggests that night owls may be able to improve their physical condition by adjusting their meal times. While they haven't tested this advice in research, they say there's a lot of evidence that shows that limiting the timing of your eating, such as not eating after a certain time in the evening, makes your metabolism better.

The researchers concluded by suggesting that night owls who want to avoid the risk of type 2 diabetes should try to avoid eating dinner too late and skip late-night snacks. Although there is no direct evidence yet, current empirical evidence has shown that doing so is beneficial to human metabolism.

The above-mentioned research results were only discussed at a medical conference and have not yet been officially published in a medical journal.
