'Body clock gene' diabetes clue

"The workings of our internal body clock appear to be directly connected to our risk of diabetes, researchers claim. International research published in the journal Nature Genetics found faults in a key 'clock gene' were linked to blood sugar levels and type II diabetes. Some scientists already believe that our circadian rhythms (body clock) have a role to play in the condition, which affects millions worldwide. But one expert said more evidence was needed, before a link was proved" - BBC
