Link found between bedroom light and diabetes

Australian scientists have made a disturbing discovery: artificial lighting in bedrooms may cause a serious disease. A large-scale study has shown a direct link between nighttime lighting and the development of type 2 diabetes.

A record-breaking 85,000 people participated in the Flinders University study. The results were shocking: even minimal lighting from street lamps, LED charging devices, and gadget screens can disrupt the body's natural biorhythms. These disruptions directly affect crucial processes: hormone production, digestion, and cell regeneration.

The impact of artificial lighting on pancreatic function is particularly concerning. Disruption of circadian rhythms can lead to serious consequences: ineffective glucose processing and the development of insulin resistance. The situation is exacerbated by the suppression of melatonin production - a hormone responsible for sleep quality and insulin regulation.
