Sleep disruptions may up diabetes risk

Creating reasons to make more drugs.

"Researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center report that disrupting sleep damages the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels, potentially raising the risk of developing type 2 diabetes."

You can bet that the anti-diabetes sleep drugs are in the offing.

Their hook?

"More than 18 million Americans have diabetes and the most common form is type 2, in which the body either becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't produce enough of it to regulate sugar in the bloodstream."

So now they will create the sleep cure of diabetes, obesity and aging.

"'This decrease in slow-wave sleep resembles the changes in sleep patterns caused by 40 years of aging," Tasali said in a statement. Young adults spend 80 to 100 minutes per night in slow-wave sleep, while people over age 60 generally have less than 20 minutes. "In this experiment,' she said, 'we gave people in their 20s the sleep of those in their 60s.'

'Since reduced amounts of deep sleep are typical of aging and of common obesity-related sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, these results suggest that strategies to improve sleep quality, as well as quantity, may help to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in populations at risk,' said co-author Dr. Eve Van Cauter, a professor of medicine."

The outcome will be killing us with their drugs so we cannot age 40 years.

There's the cure.
