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 five key reasons why sleep is crucial for people managing diabetes:

  1. Improved Blood Sugar Control: Adequate sleep helps regulate insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, leading to more stable blood sugar levels.

  2. Reduced Insulin Resistance: Poor sleep can increase insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to manage blood sugar effectively.

  3. Enhanced Mood and Energy: Quality sleep improves mental well-being, reducing stress and fatigue, which can otherwise negatively impact diabetes management.

  4. Lower Risk of Complications: Consistent sleep reduces the risk of developing complications like heart disease, obesity, and neuropathy, which are more common in people with diabetes.

  5. Better Appetite Regulation: Sleep affects hormones that control hunger, reducing the likelihood of overeating and making it easier to maintain a healthy diet.
