What Andi says about this podcast:

"I discuss the different areas of your health and life that lack of sleep or poor quality sleep will affect! There is almost no area of your health that is not affected by your sleep. Whether you get good sleep, or bad sleep, your body will be affected by this! Therefore, improving your sleep will help you with your: weight loss; strength/muscle building and maintenance; mood; energy; skin; mental health; libido; fertility; so many others... but of course.. your blood sugars!" 

Here are the main five reasons why sleep is crucial for people managing diabetes:

• Blood Sugar Control: Adequate sleep helps regulate blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.

• Insulin Sensitivity: Quality sleep improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin more effectively.

• Weight Management: Proper sleep supports healthy weight management, which is important for diabetes control.

• Stress Reduction: Good sleep reduces stress levels, which can help prevent blood sugar spikes caused by stress hormones.

• Overall Health: Sufficient sleep enhances overall health and well-being, supporting better diabetes management.
