Increase insulin sensitivity with better sleep

😴 Does better sleep help improve insulin sensitivity in adolescents at risk for type 2 diabetes? CHEO researchers discovered it does - by 20%!
👨‍🔬 As a scientist focused on healthy active living, Dr. JP Chaput knows just how important sleep is; particularly for teens who are well known to be sleep deprived. When coupled with risk factors for type 2 diabetes, sleep becomes even more important.
🎉 The Big Takeaway: Even a modest increase in sleep duration of only one hour per bight can have a positive impact on insulin sensitivity for teens at risk of type 2 diabetes.
