A study presented at the Endocrine Society meeting showed that night shift workers with type 2 diabetes have poorer blood glucose control, higher body mass index, less sleep and more calorie consumption than those who work in the daytime or were unemployed. Thai researchers used a cohort of 260 people and found that the average A1C among those who worked night shifts was 66.1 mmol/mol, 59.6 mmol/mol among those who worked during the day and 58.5 mmol/mol among those who did not have a job.
