Swedish scientists from Uppsala University have stated that a significant lack of sleep in adults can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes.

It is emphasized that if a person does not have healthy sleep, it cannot be compensated for solely by healthy eating.

The experts published the results of their research in the scientific journal JAMA Network Open .

The article states, in particular: “If you sleep only 3-5 hours a day, you will have to face the consequences in the form of diabetes.”

Critical situation

Co-author of the work, somnologist Diana Noga, pointed out that even with a healthy diet and good habits, as well as lack of sleep, the risk of developing diabetes remains high.
