Hello friends. Life gets so busy caring for family and keeping up with everyday tasks. Sometimes we just need a little extra rest. But health news can be a lot to take in.
What's new
One new study published online in the Journal of the Endocrine Society shares information for adults with type 2 diabetes. The research notes that longer sleep duration is associated with an increased risk for incidence and progression of diabetic nephropathy. This is only one study and does not prove cause and effect.
What it means for you
Every person is unique. Your daily routine and rest needs belong between you and your doctor. If you have questions about your sleep or your type 2 diabetes care, please ask your doctor or pharmacist.
One small thing to try
Try setting a gentle bedtime alarm to help guide you toward a steady routine each evening.
