"Night shift work has been shown to interfere with glucose metabolism. This is supposedly due to inference of normal circadian rhythms; our body's internal clock.

The function of the body is tied in with circadian rhythms and at night time the internal clock is telling the body to sleep; it is also controlling metabolic functions. This affects glucose metabolism and is believed to increase the risk of developing type two diabetes; non insulin dependent diabetes.

There is also evidence of a link between night shift work and cardiovascular disease and this is also tied in with how metabolic function is disrupted by nightshift work." -Dangers of Night Shift Work. Working at Night May Be Bad for Your Health
