Is your sleep spiking your sugar? How sleepless nights and stress raise blood glucose

Sleep deprivation also causes insulin resistance, making your body crave quick energy. Chronic stress exacerbates this, creating a perfect storm for elevated sugar levels. Simple sleep hygiene improvements can significantly help manage glucose.
