5 Simple Ways to Lower Blood Sugar in the Morning

blood sugar lower blood sugar morning routine Nov 16, 2024

Wondering why your morning blood sugars are high, even before you eat anything? You’re not alone! 

Many people experience this due to something called the 'dawn phenomenon'—a natural process where your body releases hormones like cortisol and glucagon to give you energy for the day.

In this video, we’ll break down five simple tips to help you manage your morning blood sugars effectively:

 💧 Stay Hydrated – Drinking water first thing helps flush out excess sugar and keep you focused.

 🚶‍♀️ Get Moving – Light exercise can enhance insulin sensitivity, even just a 5-minute brisk walk!

 🧘 Manage Stress – Try morning mindfulness to lower stress hormones and support blood sugar stability.

 🥑 Opt for Lower Carbs – Eating fewer carbs can help reduce morning sugar spikes.

 🍽️ Avoid Late-Night Snacks – An earlier dinner can improve morning blood sugar levels and your sleep quality.

Small adjustments like these can make a big difference in your blood sugar control and overall health.
