If y ou have diabetes, dinner timing is not  just about  what you eat. It also entails when. Why timing matters at night When you eat late, your body has less time to process carbs before you sleep. That means blood sugar can stay higher overnight. And since you’re not moving around while sleeping, insulin works slower.                                The result?, a Higher Fasting Blood Sugar Level in the morning. So what’s the best time for dinner? Aim for 2-3 hours before bedtime.  Moreover, it is best to take dinner early. Latest by 6:30pm. This gives your body time to digest and lets blood sugar stabilize before you lie down. 3 quick tips to make it work: 1. Set a “kitchen cutoff”: Pick your dinner deadline based on your sleep time, not hunger cues.  2. Balance your plate: Pair carbs with protein + fiber + healthy fat.  i.e you can consider grilled fish + veggies + small portion o...

In diabetes, either y our body does not make enough insulin or  y our cells “ignore” insulin this is called insulin resistance. Main causes of Diabetes include: 1.Your immune system mistakenly attacks insulin-making cells in the pancreas.   This occurs in Type 1 Diabetes. 2. Insulin resistance and your pancreas can not keep up. This is linked to Type 2 Diabetes. 3.  Hormones during pregnancy block insulin. Usually goes away after birth, but increases future Type 2 risk for mother and child. This  happens during Gestational Diabetes. CONCLUSION These causes can be managed through diet, activity, weight, and stress. Small daily changes is equated to big difference in risk.

Although many believe that Western countries are in the forefront of this global health problem, South Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Middle East are actually the most severely affected.

When most people hear the word "diabetes," they immediately think of sugar.  While managing glucose levels is a major part of the condition, there is a much bigger story beneath the surface.  Here are three facts about diabetes that will completely change how you view this condition.  1. Type 1 and Type 2  are Completely Different Diseases Though they share a name and both result in high blood sugar, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are entirely different biological conditions. Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Type 2 Diabetes: This is primarily driven by insulin resistance . The pancreas still produces insulin, but the body's cells become numb to it. It is heavily influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and metabolic health. 2. Prediabetes is a Silent Threat  You can walk around with prediabetes for years without experiencing a single obvious s...
