Trouble sleeping?

High blood glucose can wake you up to urinate, while low blood glucose can wake you with hunger. Too little sleep can raise your diabetes risk.

Alway have a carb and a protein B-4 bedtime to balance your blood sugar. Also get some sunshine during the day. Sunshine drives your body to produce melatonin, which is needed for sleep! Happy zzz's
