Abstract

Sleep problems and diabetes mellitus are increasing in prevalence. Although it is unclear if they are related, a number of related studies implicate such a relationship. A number of related studies implicate such a relationship. In this review, the significance of sleep in diabetes mellitus will be reviewed by summarizing the relationships between sleep, circadian rhythm, sleep disorders, and diabetes mellitus. Also, the mechanisms of influence will be reviewed. In addition, although the relationship between sleep and diabetes mellitus mainly has focused on type 2 diabetes mellitus, this review also summarizes the relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus and sleep. In clinical practice, sleep problems have not been emphasized in management or prevention of diabetes mellitus. Considering their close relationship and impact on prognosis, mental health and physical health study will need to be integrated for treatment and prevention of diabetes mellitus.
