"Top 8 Nighttime Habits Diabetics Should Know" Very meaningful, thanks for sharing The video outlines 8 essential nighttime habits to help diabetics maintain stable blood sugar levels overnight and wake up feeling refreshed: 1 Choose the Right Evening Snack: Opt for low-carb, protein-rich snacks like Greek yogurt, mixed nuts, or carrot sticks with hummus. Avoid sugary or refined carbs. 2 Establish a Consistent Sleep Schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily to regulate insulin and cortisol levels, improving blood sugar control. 3 Limit Screen Time Before Bed: Reduce blue light exposure by turning off screens 30 minutes before bedtime to promote melatonin production and better sleep quality. 4 Stay Hydrated, but Limit Fluids Before Bed: Drink water throughout the day but reduce fluid intake 1-2 hours before bed to prevent sleep disruptions. 5 Monitor Blood Sugar Levels: Check blood sugar before bed to identify potential highs or lows, and make necessary adjustments with snacks or medication. 6 Take a Short Post-Meal Walk: A 10-30 minute walk after dinner helps lower blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity. 7 Practice Relaxation Techniques: Reduce stress with deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation to lower cortisol levels and support glucose regulation. 8 Consider a Small Protein Snack: A light snack like almonds or cheese before bed can prevent nighttime glucose dips and stabilize levels. Key Message: Incorporating these habits into your nighttime routine can enhance blood sugar control, improve sleep quality, and promote overall health for diabetics.
WOW! The video is amazing. I found that the "Relaxation Techniques" habit is excellent for reducing cortisol levels. It helps the nervous system function better, which in turn improves both mood and blood sugar control. A small additional tip is to try slow breathing using the 4-7-8 method: inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. Super relaxing and effective!
Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful information in this video! The tips on nighttime habits for diabetics have really opened my eyes to new ways of managing my health. I will definitely be incorporating these habits into my daily routine. I appreciate you sharing such valuable insights and helping me better understand how to take care of my health effectively!
I drink a glass of water before I go to bed. I wake up between 1:00 and 3:00 and I can't go back to sleep. I have to put my IPad away and phone. Thanks for the information. I cannot snack at night. I eat dinner. Between 6::00 and 6:30.
@@chemutaiandrew3839 I often use the phone for a long time before going to bed. This led to me having a hard time falling asleep and the next day when I woke up my body was quite tired.
I get up to go to the bathroom at least 4times a night cannot get sleep have tried everything and nothing works no med has helped me ,,,,any suggestions..?
My last meal before bed is 5 or 6 pm every day, and sometimes I drink glass milk,tumeric tea, or coffee but still not sleeping, ok? So, I have no idea why.

If I do get hungry. I eat a handful of peanuts or a piece of gouda cheese.

Coffee is absolutely a No after 5pm
Also No tea. Both coffee and tea are worst drinks before bed time.
I hope all this has been researched.
Nighttime routines are so important for health Which habit do you think makes the biggest difference before bed
