My stress level was very high and so were my numbers and I found that if you rid of the toxins in you life you will do a lot better this means toxic people included. My sugar levels with the stress level down are.so much better now. I went from numbers of 576 down to 217 in days and am getting better sleep as well.

Lack of sleep can significantly impact blood sugar levels, especially for those with diabetes. Here are some reasons why:

- Insulin Resistance: Poor sleep can increase insulin resistance, making it harder for the body to use insulin effectively.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Sleep deprivation can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and stress, leading to higher blood sugar levels.
- Increased Appetite: Lack of sleep can lead to increased appetite and cravings for high-sugar and high-carb foods, which can spike blood sugar levels.

It's important to maintain good sleep hygiene to help manage blood sugar levels effectively.
