Prediabetes

Keywords

Prediabetes, Short sleepers, GLP-1

Brief summary

Hypothesis 1. Prediabetes patients who have insufficient sleep will have worse glucose tolerance than those with normal sleep duration. 2. Prediabetes patients with short sleep will have a delayed or reduced GLP-1 response to a standardized meal
