Excessive sleep protects women from diabetes .. but it hurts men

women from diabetes

Dutch reached a new medical study to an abrupt conclusion that sleep overload women can help reduce the risk of diabetes, but the study found that men do not benefit them sleep in this area, but may increase the risk of the disease they have.

Dutch research team concluded that these results after the study of 800 cases of men and women who are middle-aged, in order to determine the link between sleep and diabetes, and whether it was possible that there is a relationship between the two. These could help results in the future in the fight against diabetes, which recorded a high prevalence in the world disease processes.

During the study, it was awarded the men and women under surveillance and search electronic piece, which tracks the body in terms of sleeping and waking times, and operations of the secretion of insulin in the body during the hours of wakefulness and sleep, where the insulin organizing blood sugar levels in order to prevent or enhances the chances of developing diabetes in humans.

And it suffers a diabetic (type II) of the non-secretion of the body sufficient amounts of insulin, or the body has difficulty in taking advantage of insulin that is secreted, which leads to high blood sugar levels.

The study left 800 people control subjects slept an average of 7 hours and 18 minutes a day, the researchers noted that women who slept more than this time a day, their bodies become more capable of dealing with insulin, which reduces their chances of contracting diabetes.

The researchers found that men disagree completely about women on the issue of the impact of sleep on their bodies are treated with insulin, since they, unlike women lead their sleep more than average to higher chances of developing diabetes.

Said researcher Dr. Vimacai Routers from the center (VU Medical) in Amsterdam: "In a group of 80 people, we have to monitor the relationship between sleep and blood glucose, taking into account gender, we found that men who sleep too much or sleep a little, the body cells less responsive to insulin, which means that their bodies have a greater chance of developing diabetes in the future, but for women it is different. "

This study represents a new indication of the importance of sleep in the overall health of the human being, both in terms of diabetes or other diseases.
