A good night's sleep is often advised to diabetics for better blood sugar management. However, ironically, diabetes with its many complications ends up impacting sleep quality which can further interfere with the management of the disease. Getting up frequently to answer nature's call, parched throat or the constant need to munch something can come in the way of a deep and relaxed sleep.
Managing your blood sugar levels could help address some of these symptoms. Diabetes-friendly low Glycemic index foods like green vegetables, fruits, carrots, chickpeas, lentils, regular walks and exercise, avoiding sugary treats and junk food, and managing stress are all healthy lifestyle changes for nipping the disease in the bud.
