Long sleep duration and suboptimal glycaemic control in gestational diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study in Ningbo, China
In GDM, long sleep duration was associated with less favourable glucose patterns, suggesting possible windows of greater vulnerability in glucose regulation. These findings indicate that sleep behaviours may represent an important behavioural characteristic relevant to clinical glucose management in pregnancy and warrant further investigation.
