TL;DR: Partial sleep deprivation during only a single night induces insulin resistance in multiple metabolic pathways in healthy subjects and may be of relevance for variations in glucoregulation in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Sleep duration is a determinant of insulin sensitivity in patients with type 1 diabetes, and partial sleep deprivation during a single night induces peripheral insulin resistance in these seven patients withType 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: The metabolic pathways affected by sleep loss are explored using targeted metabolomics in human fasting plasma samples to provide a basis for further research into the role of acylcarnitines as a potential mechanistic pathway by which sleep deprivation causes adverse metabolic effects, such as insulin resistance.

TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis of a disrupted genital arousal response in women with diabetes, but the observed associations between retinopathy and vaginal blood flow, and between neuropathy and clitoral sensitivity, suggest that diabetes-related complications might adversely affect the physiological basis of female sexual response.

TL;DR: This work compared the sustained attention to response task (SART) of patients with type 1 diabetes to that of healthy controls, and related results with sleep characteristics and disease‐related factors.
