Maybe more of a case of correlation than causation? Lifestyle of person who stays up late more likely includes drinking alcohol, snacking before bed, sedentary tendencies, etc., all things that contribute to diabetes.

I have a mid to late chronotype and none of these problems. Obviously anecdotal but the solution is simple: don’t eat at night. You might be a late sleeper but that doesn’t mean you should be a late eater. Also quite frankly the world isn’t made for people who want to wake up at 8.20am. The entire generation of late chronotype kids is waking up for school at 7 am. Even if they are getting 8h of sleep they are still tired AF. My entire life I’ve been spending my first waking hours hating my life despite being generally a good sleeper.
