Type 2 Diabetes

A chron­ic con­di­tion in which the body does­n’t use insulin prop­er­ly, lead­ing to ele­vat­ed blood sug­ar and, over time, dam­age to blood ves­sels, nerves, kid­neys, and eyes.

Sleep research — includ­ing Stan­ford’s SleepFM study — has found that sig­nals record­ed dur­ing a sin­gle night’s sleep can be asso­ci­at­ed with future risk of this and relat­ed con­di­tions. This is gen­er­al infor­ma­tion, not a diag­no­sis. Learn about the research behind this entry →
