Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Among adults with prediabetes who sleep too little, changing their lifestyle or adding more sleep does not lead to a measurable improvement in blood glucose levels over eight weeks.

See the scientific wording

In adults with prediabetes and short sleep duration, neither lifestyle intervention alone nor lifestyle intervention plus sleep extension leads to statistically significant improvements in device-estimated glucose levels over an 8-week period.

Why this might work

Even when diet and activity improve and sleep gets longer, the body's cells still don't respond well to insulin, so glucose stays high in the blood.
