| description | In the present article, we explore the risks of circadian disruptions and impact on the sleepwake
cycle of individuals with diabetes during COVID-19 pandemic. The association between
the duration and quality of sleep and the stability of glucose levels is well-established. Therefore,
during the pandemic with changes and limitations in the exposure to cyclic cues that entrain the
circadian rhythms, such as light-dark and social interactions, we hypothesize that the power and
stability of circadian rhythms decrease if measures are not taken to intentionally create a routine
that includes zeitgebers. Knowing that sleep-wake cycle disruptions impair melatonin production,
immune system response and glucose metabolism, and that individuals with diabetes are at higher
risk for poor prognosis when infected by SARS-CoV-2 (especially if their blood glucose is out of
target), we recommend monitoring and advising these individuals towards strategies to maintain
adequate sleep quality and duration as part of their preventive and protective measures during the
new pandemic routine. |
