Blood sugar levels can directly impact our sleep and vice versa. Sleep deprivation can lead to insulin resistance and other health problems.

Danielle discusses blood sugar management, what causes an increase in blood sugar levels and how it can affect our health and sleep. We also talk about ways to support stabilizing blood sugar with the help of continuous glucose monitoring, sleep trackers, food diet, and lifestyle change.
