If you have diabetes, heat can affect your blood sugar — especially if you use insulin or your blood sugars aren’t effectively managed. Hot weather may affect your blood sugar levels depending on:

What you’ve eaten
Whether you’re well-hydrated
Your activity level

If your blood sugars are mostly higher than 250 mg/dl, you should improve your blood sugar before engaging in heavy physical activity, regardless of the climate and the temperature.

Humidity can also play a role. Moist heat means your sweat takes longer to evaporate and can cause your body to work harder to cool you off.

Here’s how the heat can affect you:

🔴It may cause low or high blood sugar
🔴It may lead to dehydration
🔴It may damage your diabetes medication and equipment

Diabetes doesn’t have to sideline you from fun outdoor activities. You may just need to find the right time of day to enjoy summer (or another time of year).

“Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of metabolic health. Every hour of quality sleep is an investment in weight management, diabetes prevention, and cardiovascular health.”

Recent groundbreaking research reveals exactly how sleep deprivation transforms us into unwitting saboteurs of our own health goals. The mechanism is elegantly cruel. When we sleep less than seven hours, our bodies rebel by decreasing leptin, the hormone that signals satiety, while ramping up ghrelin, which screams, “Eat more!”

Hilik biik? Baka Obstructive Sleep Apnea yan. Pa Sleep Study ka na!

My Child Snores—Should I Be Worried?

Occasional snoring is common in children. But loud, frequent snoring with gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing may signal sleep apnea, often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids.

It’s best to consult an ENT specialist for evaluation and possible sleep study.
