Those who stay up later are more likely to develop diabetes than people who go to bed early, new research suggests.
Scientists say that being a late-night or early morning person can reveal your diabetes risk. It comes after new research shows night owls were less active than early birds, and found they were less sensitive to insulin hormone, both were predictors in type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Researchers at Rutgers University in the United States split participations into two groups, early and late, and found that in those who stay up later fats can build up in the body. Early birds however were found to be more reliant on fat for energy, more active in the day, and more aerobically fit.
