This cohort study analyzing data from 247 867 adults in the UK Biobank found that individuals sleeping less than 6 hours daily had a notably higher risk of developing T2D compared with those with 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Despite the association between healthier diets and reduced T2D risk, the increased risk associated with short sleep duration persisted even among adults with healthy eating habits.

That's the main reason I got the snip. The sleep deprivation would literally kill me.

I should have my doctor call my boss and tell him I can't work before 10am.

Maybe having diabetes reduces your chances of sleeping.

Remember, going out increases your chances of being overrun by a car.
