Is Poor Sleep Sabotaging Your Blood Sugar?
Sleep is often the overlooked pillar of diabetes management. Research shows that consistently poor sleep is linked to higher blood sugar, increased insulin resistance, and higher HbA1c levels, and up to 50% of people with type 2 diabetes may have undiagnosed sleep apnea, which can make blood sugar control even harder.
The good news? A study in JAMA Network Open found that maintaining an earlier bedtime and getting adequate sleep were independently linked to better blood sugar stability.
