(Diabetes lifestyle habits) I have insomnia; does it affect blood sugar levels?

If you don't sleep well at night, your cortisol levels, the stress hormone, will increase.

This hormone suppresses insulin secretion, causing an increase in fasting blood sugar levels. Getting a good night's sleep ensures balanced hormone secretion in the body, maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

To prevent diabetes, you need to sleep regularly and well.

It is important to go to sleep at a consistent time and wake up at the same time each day. Turning off or dimming the lights during sleep helps ensure restful sleep.

Exposing yourself to bright light immediately after waking up in the morning, fasting at least two hours before sleep, and keeping the bedroom quiet and cool are also sleep methods that help prevent diabetes.

If it is still difficult to get enough sleep despite these efforts, I recommend seeking treatment from a neurologist or mental health specialist. They can diagnose sleep disorders, provide appropriate medication to help with falling asleep, and offer treatment options.
