Gaining control of your blood sugar is so important to ensure that you do not face future health issues. You likely already know this!
Did you also know that sleepless and restless nights hurt more than your mood and energy? They are also a form of chronic stress on the body.
Added stress on your body caused by restless nights, results in higher blood sugar levels. When researchers restricted people with diabetes to just 4 hours of sleep, their sensitivity to insulin was reduced by 20% compared to that after a full night of sleep.
When your blood sugar is really high, your kidneys will try to get rid of it by removing it from the body via urination. This may also cause you to get out of bed and go to the bathroom through the night, further impacting your sleep and contributing to inconsistent sleep patterns.
High blood sugars can also wake you up because you are thirsty and also make it less comfortable for you to sleep due to increased feeling of warmness, irritability and unsettledness.
Sleep affects your blood sugar levels, and your blood glucose control affects your sleep. It’s a vicious cycle!
I can help you get your blood sugars under control!
