Diabetes & Sleep: The Connection You Should Know!

Struggling with sleep while managing diabetes? You’re not alone! While diabetes itself doesn’t directly affect sleep, symptoms like frequent urination, dizziness, or sweating can make getting rest tough.

Here’s the catch: Better blood sugar control = better sleep AND better sleep helps manage blood sugar!

Tips for a restful night:
Skip naps
Stay active daily
Stick to a bedtime routine
Avoid screens 1 hour before bed
Limit caffeine, alcohol & heavy meals
Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing
