Type 2 & other diabetes

Sleep disorders in younger and middle-older age adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus: A retrospective cohort study in >1million individuals

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The 5-year risk of sleep disorders is higher in those with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes vs. those without. A higher absolute risk was seen in middle-older adults, but relative rates were consistently higher in younger adults with type 2 diabetes. Sleep should be regularly discussed as part of a holistic approach to diabetes care, particularly in those aged ≤40.
