Woke up late on weekends can prevent diabetes? - By waking up late on weekends, it turns out risk of type 2 diabetes can be lowered. But it applies to people who have had a solid rushing for a full week, according to new research.

Type 2 diabetes is a disease that is often associated with poor sleep habits and obesity. Complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, and nerve damage and circulation are also often associated with diabetes.

However, based on research conducted by experts from Australia, adding hours of sleep in the morning at least, can lower the risk of diabetes for those who are already busy for a full week.

Researchers precisely monitor 19 healthy men with an average age of 29 years who slept only six hours a day during the week. However, they often 'replace' her quota at the weekend. For example, with up two hours later than usual.

As a result, insulin levels - which is in charge of converting blood sugar into energy and performance is defective in patients with type 2 diabetes - the men just seem normal and stable.

"We all know that lack of sleep will make increased insulin sensitivity and lead to type 2 diabetes. Yet to add a bit of hours sleep on the weekends, the risk of diabetes can be reduced," explained researcher Dr Peter Liu, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
