Getting a good night's sleep may be hard for some people with diabetes when experiencing frequent thirst or frequent urination during the night.
Sleeping less than 7 hours on a regular basis can lead to impaired glucose tolerance, increased insulin resistance, and increased hunger which can cause uncontrolled blood sugars.
Try these tips for a good night's sleep
sleep in a cool, dark room
avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine in the evening
limit use of electronic devices at least 1 hour before bed
sleep and wake up at the same time everyday
exercise during the day
Talk with your Primary care physician if poor sleep continues. What routines help you get a good night's sleep?
