‘Body clock gene’ diabetes clue
Basic info.
Some international research found faults in a key 'clock gene' were linked to blood sugar levels and type II diabetes
A team including scientists from Imperial College London found one genetic "variation" which appeared to be linked to a 20% increase in the risk of type II diabetes
Another team discovered a second variation which could be linked to naturally higher blood sugar levels and diabetes risk.
Basic info.
Professor Philippe Fragile said that the findings fitted with earlier research linking sleep problems
research demonstrates that abnormalities in the circadian rhythm may partly be causing diabetes and high blood sugar levels
other explanations for the link between obesity and sleep disturbance are people who eat too much may have disturbed sleep, or be drowsy or sleep during the day
