Sleep is very important for our healthy growth, thinking and fast memory capabilities.Therefore for our good body , muscle , organ and brain performance we need quality sleep .And for us to stay healthy free of some chronic disease like diabetes ,hypertension or high blood pressure Heart failure etc ,we need good quality sleep.For an example in 2005, a study of over 1400 participants showed that participants who habitually slept few hours were more likely to have associations with Diabetes Type 2.If sleep is so important ,how can we correct our deprived sleep nature ? here are some way we can balance our sleep nature:
this is all about blood glucose,its management,the effect of bitter kola on blood glucose level,diabetes type 1 and type 2 and insulin.

EFFECTS OF BITTER KOLA EXTRACT ON BLOOD GLUCOSE
In this experiment, the aqueous bitter kola (Garcinia kola) extract was added to the plasma invitro.
The glucose concentration gotten was then compared with that of the normal blood glucose without the extract.
Test
Six tubes were lined and 100*l of plasma was put into each tubes. Into first three tubes was labelled 20*lE, 50*lE, 100*lE of extract. The second set of three test tubes was labelled 20*l NS,
50*l NS,100*lNS, of normal saline which acted as control.
In test tubes labelled for extract 20*l, 50*l and 100*l of the bitter kola extract was put respectively. The same was done to the normal saline. The tubes were shacked for content to mix. The timing device was set to 1 hour.
This allows a time for the extract to react with the blood glucose. At the end of one hour a blood glucose test was done (as described above). The values were calculated according. The time device set to another one hour, making the reaction time to be two hours. At the end of the two hours the blood glucose test were repeated and values calculated accordingly.
The glucose concentration gotten was then compared with that of the normal blood glucose without the extract.

Bitter kola extract was found to have caused the decrease in the blood
glucose level from 5.3± 0.3 to: 4.8± 0.1 mmol/L with a decrease of 9.4%
using 20ml of extract, 4.6± 0.4mMol/L with a decrease of 13% using 50ml of
extract, 3.9± 0.5 with 26% decrease in glucose concentration using 100ml of
the extract. After 2 hours interval the glucose level was found to have
dropped to: 5.0 ± 0.1 mMol/L with a decrease of 5.6% using 20ml
of extract; 4.7 ± 0.4 mMol/L with a decrease of 11% using 50ml of
extract, 4.2 ± 0.5 mMol/L with a decrease of 20% using 100ml of
the extract reacting with the blood glucose . Indicating a drastic
drop in the glucose level.
