Type 2 diabetes, a long-term condition characterised by high blood sugar levels, is the most common form of diabetes. It occurs when the body doesn't use insulin effectively or the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin. If you have a family history of type 2 diabetes, your risk of developing it increases. Other risk factors include being overweight, leading a sedentary lifestyle, and consuming too much sugar, fat, and salt.
Treatment for type 2 diabetes often involves dietary changes, prescribed medication, and regular check-ups and blood tests. If left untreated or undiagnosed for a prolonged period, it can lead to eye problems such as cataracts and light sensitivity, skin and foot infections, heart attacks or strokes, kidney damage, and nerve damage.
Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes requires a blood test. Many people live with type 2 diabetes without knowing it because they may not recognise or overlook the symptoms, which can include:. Common warning signs of type 2 diabetes can appear at any time, but three are more likely to occur or worsen during sleep. According to a recent YouGov sleep study, the average bedtime for UK adults during the working week is around 10.43pm, reports Surrey Live.
Brits generally wake up at 6:47am, but many hit the snooze button, and the most common wake-up time is between 7-8am. But of course bedtimes vary according to age, gender, and other factors. Between these times, three symptoms can disrupt nighttime routines and sleep. Although they may seem insignificant, if you experience them frequently, it could be your body sending you a signal.
