Hidden Diabetes Risk Factor REVEALED
Certain risk factors for type 2 diabetes are obvious.
Obesity is probably one that comes to mind right away.
But in reality, plenty of other risk factors chip away at your body’s ability to process blood sugar, whether you’re overweight or not.
Scientists recently identified another BIG diabetes risk factor faced by 50 to 70 million Americans.
Fixing this ONE problem can dramatically reduce your diabetes risk (no matter what you weigh).
The state of sleep in the USA is not a good one.
According to the National Institute of Health, more than one-third of American adults don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis. Another 50-70 million have chronic sleep disorders.
A lack of shut-eye doesn’t just make you feel tired and irritable. A chronic lack of sleep sets you up for major health problems like hypertension, heart attack, depression, and even sex troubles.
Type 2 diabetes is on this list as well.
In a recent study that included over 1,000 middle-aged adults, researchers looked for a connection between various aspects of sleep and risk factors for diabetes.
Their findings revealed that those who reported having trouble sleeping also tended to have more indicators of poor metabolic health.
These included higher inflammation markers, poorer lipid levels, and higher body weight. And, of course, all three are known to INCREASE the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study also showed how long you sleep is just PART of the problem. Other sleep factors were also associated with type 2 diabetes risk, like
- how soundly you sleep
- how regular your sleep habits are
- when you go to bed
With more than 422 million diabetics around the globe, it’s time to attack this condition from multiple angles—not just the scale.
I’ve talked to you many times about ways to get better sleep. To get started, check out my previous report, 5 Habits for a Better Night’s Sleep.
