New research to be presented at this year’s Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes shows that people recently diagnosed with diabetes who experience short or long sleep duration are more likely to experience microvascular disease , which could ultimately lead to more serious complications. The study is by Mette Johansen and Thomas Olesen, Steno Diabetes Center Odense, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark, and colleagues.
In total, 396 participants had valid sleep duration measurements, UACR measurements, and eye examinations. The median age was 62 years with a mean diabetes duration of 3.5 years, and 175 were females . The cohort predominantly consisted of overweight individuals, with a median BMI of 31 , and 68% were on antihypertensive medication.
