Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and it is a serious global health problem. Several studies have suggested that patients with type 2 diabetes had shorter sleep duration and poorer sleep quality than healthy people. Recent studies have also demonstrated that sleep quantity and quality are associated with metabolic changes such as insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes. It is therefore important to raise awareness about the potential risks of sleep disorders and to provide support for patients and their families. In this review, we discuss the relationships between sleep and type 2 diabetes and the potential mechanisms underlying the relationship.
