Abstract
Night-shift workers had significantly higher haemoglobin A1c levels, with a median of 7.86% compared to 7.24% for day workers and 7.09% for unemployed participants.
- Night-shift work is associated with poorer glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- No significant differences in haemoglobin A1c levels were found between night-shift workers performing rotating versus non-rotating shifts.
- No significant differences were observed between those with clockwise versus counterclockwise shift rotations.
- Night-shift workers were younger, had a higher body mass index, and consumed more daily calories than day workers and unemployed participants.
- After adjustments for various factors, night-shift work remained associated with significantly higher haemoglobin A1c levels compared to day work.
