Major Ways To Fight Diabetes

Sleep Well

Evidence indicates there is a fairly strong negative relationship between sleep and diabetes. Specifically, the lower the duration and quality of an individual's sleep, the higher their risk of developing or mismanaging diabetes is. Reduced sleep, we know, leads to increased hunger and dietary consumption. Additionally, insulin resistance and high blood glucose levels are associated with reduced sleep duration. None of this is beneficial for anyone, particularly for diabetes patients who must closely monitor their blood sugar. Thus, adults need to sleep seven to nine hours each night to help mitigate these negative consequences.
