Insulin resistance, a chronic condition where one’s body isn’t able to process blood sugar, has long been tied to sleep apnea.
However, new research coming out of Japan’s Teikyo University discovered that sleepless nights may also boost insulin resistance.
In this study of 1000 men, those that reported regular difficulty falling asleep were significantly more likely to suffer from elevated levels of HbA1c –an indicator of long-term blood glucose levels.
The scientists note that untreated insomnia may ultimately increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

I too have had insomnia for years and now have elevated levels in my blood. I have never connected the two but I try to eat a low fat diet and loose weight which is increasingly hard to do. I am about 20-30pounds overweight and am 64 years old so I am v ery interested in any research and programs you may have discovered. I have thought about using Sensa and cutting all alchol out of my diet(no fun for an Irishman) and my blood pressure is about 137/75. I love your newsletter and please send me any useful information you have aqvailable. Sincerely Jim Finn
