Lack of sleep leads to insulin resistance in teens, notes a
new study, Sleep Duration and Insulin Resistance in Healthy Black and White
Adolescents from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). The research was recently published in the journal
Sleep. But increasing the amount of sleep that teenagers get could improve
their insulin resistance and prevent the future onset of diabetes.
Also, locally in the Sacramento and Davis regional area, the
University of California, Davis studies how the omega 3 fatty acids from fish
oil and flax seed oil can help to control low blood sugar and excess insulin
that happens after a meal in some people.
