You might think your evenings are harmless, maybe even relaxing. But some of your nightly routines could be quietly setting you up for a terrible health condition-type 2 diabetes. Let’s discover 7 popular nighttime habits that may be slowly increasing your diabetes risk without you even realizing it.
1. Late-Night Snacking
That innocent bowl of chips or sweet treat before bed might feel comforting, but regularly eating late at night—especially processed carbs or sugary foods can disturb your bl00d sugar levels. At night, your metabolism slows down, meaning your body has a harder time processing glucose. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance.
2. Skipping Dinner—or Eating Too Much
It’s tempting to skip dinner when you’re busy or tired, but skipping meals can mess with your blood sugar regulation. On the flip side, overeating especially heavy, high-carb meals—right before bed forces your body to work overtime digesting when it should be resting, increasing blood sugar fluctuations overnight.
3. Not Getting Enough Sleep
