Type 2 diabetes: this good habit would prevent the appearance of the disease

What if you put forward the time you dine?According to a study published in Diabetes Care on January 10, this could have benefits on type 2 diabetes and would thus prevent the appearance of the disease.

Taking your meal late would increase blood sugar levels

To achieve these conclusions, scientists from Massachussetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (Boston, United States) and the University of Murcia (Spain) conducted a clinical trial on 845 participants.Their goal was to establish a potential link between blood sugar - blood sugar level - and melatonin, a hormone naturally secreted by the brain and intended to regulate the day/night cycle.

The latter could indeed affect the moderation of this rate, abnormally high in people with type 2 diabetes.This disease results in a less effective role of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas which regulates the level of sugar in the blood.

All the people who participated in the study first carried out an eight hour fast.During the next two evenings, they took an "early" meal, four hours before the usual bedtime time, then a later, only about an hour before the usual time of bedtime.

The more time to sleep approaches, the greater the level of melatonin in the blood: the researchers found that it was "3.5 times" higher after taking a late meal in the evening in the evening in the evening in the evening in the evening in the evening in the evening in the evening.They also noted a drop in insulin level, which thus generates an increase in blood sugar levels.Taking your meal only a few hours before going to bed can therefore lead to a "disruption of blood sugar control", as explained by Marta Garaulet, researcher and main author of the study.

Diabetes: blood blood sugar levels can be altered by different factors

Scientists also looked into the 1B receiver of melatonin, called MTNR1B.According to them, previous studies had shown that there was a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes as soon as this discomfort had a variant, called allele g.Participants carrying the latter actually presented "higher" blood sugar levels than those who were not.

According to the French Federation of Diabetics, the blood glucose level can be altered for multiple reasons: this goes from food to stress, including intense physical activity.Dinner time would therefore also have a direct influence on blood sugar.Thus, the authors of the work advise to eat at least two hours before going to bed and what you are diabetics or not.

This experience noted that a high level of melatonin, associated with a consumption of carbohydrates due to taking a late meal, could "harm the control of blood sugar by a defect in insulin secretion".According to study authors, these results could prove to be relatively precious to prevent the appearance of type 2 diabetes.It is therefore necessary to carry out other work, in particular with diabetic patients, in order to examine the impact that the meal schedule can have on them.
