Small swaps often make the biggest difference.
6. Manage Stress Before Bed
Stress hormones like cortisol can raise glucose levels even if you didn’t eat much sugar. A few deep breaths, gentle yoga, or journaling before bed can help lower cortisol and steady your glucose overnight.
It’s not just your diet—it’s your mindset too.
7. Improve Sleep Quality
Poor sleep can make your body more insulin resistant the very next day. Try maintaining a consistent bedtime, avoiding screens an hour before bed, and keeping your room cool and dark.
Your blood sugar will thank you in the morning.
8. Balance Your Plate, Don’t Restrict It
Instead of cutting out carbs, aim for balanced meals—half vegetables, one-quarter lean protein, and one-quarter complex carbs. Add healthy fats like olive oil or avocado to slow digestion.
Balanced eating is sustainable, enjoyable, and effective.
