❄️ WHY BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES IN WINTER ❄️
Winter Diabetes Awareness
🔹 Main Reasons
1️⃣ Cold increases insulin resistance
Stress hormones (cortisol & adrenaline) raise blood glucose.
2️⃣ Less physical activity
Reduced movement → less sugar used by muscles.
3️⃣ High-carb winter foods
Sweets, fried snacks & sugary tea increase sugar levels.
4️⃣ Low sunlight → Low Vitamin D
Affects insulin secretion and glucose control.
5️⃣ Winter infections
Fever, cold & cough raise blood sugar due to stress response.
6️⃣ Less water intake
Dehydration concentrates blood glucose.
⚠️ Who Is at Higher Risk?
✔️ Diabetes patients
✔️ Prediabetes
✔️ Obesity
✔️ Elderly individuals
✅ Winter Protection Tips
✔️ Monitor blood sugar more frequently
✔️ Walk or exercise indoors daily
✔️ Eat fiber-rich & protein-based meals
✔️ Drink adequate water
✔️ Maintain warmth but avoid overeating
✔️ Check Vitamin D levels if advised
📌 Key Message
“Winter is a high-risk season for sugar imbalance.
Awareness + discipline = control.”
