The Importance of Nighttime Nutrition for Blood Sugar Management
What one consumes at night, particularly beverages, has a critical impact on blood sugar levels, sleep quality, and overall health, especially for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance. When blood sugar drops during the night, the body reacts by releasing cortisol to stabilize it, which can disrupt sleep and create a cycle of poor rest and elevated blood sugar. Many individuals facing blood sugar challenges find themselves waking frequently to urinate, exacerbating dehydration and further complicating blood sugar regulation. This interconnectedness of sleep quality and blood sugar levels highlights the necessity for strategic nighttime nutrition to break the cycle of instability and enhance overall well-being.
