   Low insulin levels and/or insulin resistance prevent the body from converting glucose into glycogen (a starch-like source of energy stored mostly in the liver), which in turn makes it difficult or impossible to remove excess glucose from the blood. With normal glucose levels, the total amount of glucose in the blood at any given moment is only ...

   When glucose levels are elevated, the pancreas responds by releasing insulin. Blood sugar will then rapidly drop. This can progress to type 2 diabetes. [2] Sleep variations, both in quantity and quality, may affect metabolic regulation in type 2 diabetes. Additional data has shown a correlation between sleep quality and type 2 diabetes risk. [4]

   Van Cauter has published on significant findings related to the role of sleep in glucose tolerance and regulation, and the metabolic consequences of sleep loss. [4] [5] Her work has shown a connection between sleep disturbances and insulin resistance [6] [7] and an association between sleep and obesity in both children and adults. [8]

7. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

   The cells release the glucose into the bloodstream, increasing blood sugar levels. Hypoglycemia, the state of having low blood sugar, is treated by restoring the blood glucose level to normal by the ingestion or administration of dextrose or carbohydrate foods. It is often self-diagnosed and self-medicated orally by the ingestion of balanced meals.
