6. Catch your Zzzs
Sleep deprivation can harm your body in several ways. Plus, some doctors suggest that it could even lead to a pre-diabetic state. They also explain why. According to Mark Mahowald, MD, not getting enough sleep disrupts glucose metabolism, resulting in minimized insulin sensitivity, as well as glucose intolerance. In time, these two factors can lead to diabetes.
Make sure you get enough hours of sleep and if you have trouble sleeping, get professional help. However, before you do that, you can try to turn off all your electronics (smartphone included) and eat way before bedtime. Essential oils, warm baths, and herbal teas may also help.
