Many people have habits that can easily lead to diabetes.

In a newly published study, Dutch scientists discovered that people who stay up late regularly are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. nearly 50% higher than those who go to bed early. There are many reasons to explain this phenomenon, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Staying up late regularly will significantly increase the risk of type 2 diabetes

The risk of type 2 diabetes among night owls remained high even after other risk factors, such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking alcohol or not getting enough sleep, were eliminated.

Scientists at Leiden University (Netherlands) analyzed health data from more than 5,000 people. This data included bedtime and wake-up times along with lifestyle factors that can increase the risk of diabetes.

Over a six-year follow-up period, 225 participants were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Analysis of the data collected showed that night owls had a 46% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than early birds.

Not only that, research also found that people who stay up late often have a higher body mass index, more excess fat around the waist, including fat in the liver.

The study authors believe that the main cause of this phenomenon is that staying up late disrupts the biological rhythm. When this biological rhythm is disrupted, the body's internal biological clock will no longer match the schedule of social activities. This disruption will lead to metabolic disorders and eventually type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, staying up late and waking up later in the morning is often linked to unhealthy habits. For example, research has found that night owls are more likely to smoke and eat less healthily, especially late-night eating. These are all habits that can contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to Healthline .
