4. Poor sleep
Are you feeling weirdly tired lately because you’re not able to sleep properly? Then you might want to address this with your physician as soon as possible because chronic sleep deprivation raises the risk for type 2 diabetes. Insomnia may quickly raise the chance of type 2 diabetes, according to a recent study that found higher blood sugar levels in those who said they had trouble falling or staying asleep than in those who said they rarely experienced sleep problems.
Was this not concerning enough? If you’re not getting enough sleep (both in terms of amount and quality), it makes you feel more hungry and less satisfied, which makes you crave carbohydrates and sweets in particular. That may result in weight gain in addition to affecting insulin and blood sugar levels.
