Can sleep deprivation cause diabetes?

Will your habit of staying up too late cause you to develop diabetes? Scientists think so. In fact, that's what research is showing, and I find it quite easy to believe.

The following is true of me: I am diabetic, I habitually stay up late, I am not overweight, and all other medical metrics (cholesterol, bp, etc) are quite normal. I have had this habit for nearly two decades!

Plus, I haven't been exercising for nearly that long. That spells type 2 diabetes, right? Research shows this kind of lifestyle dismantles the body's ability to handle glucose.

Ok, I better go to sleep. It's 12:06 AM. I shall do better tomorrow. Somehow, I fear that my diabetes project and my facination with the benefits of sauna may have to have a lower place on my priority list now.
