Lifestyle habits that increase blood sugar level

Apurwa Amit

Consuming sugary drinks and foods in excess: Eating too many sugary foods and drinks can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. 

Lack of regular exercise: Not engaging in physical activity regularly can result in elevated blood sugar levels over time, as exercise helps the body utilise glucose for energy.

Eating large portions of high-carbohydrate meals: Consuming large portions of high-carb meals can cause a quick rise in blood sugar levels.

Not managing stress effectively: Unmanaged stress releases hormones that can raise blood sugar levels, potentially leading to sustained high glucose levels.

Inadequate sleep or irregular sleep patterns: Poor sleep quality or irregular sleep schedules can disrupt hormone levels that regulate blood sugar, affecting glucose levels.

Smoking or excessive alcohol consumption: Smoking and excessive alcohol intake can negatively impact blood sugar levels. 

Ignoring regular medical check-ups: Regular check-ups and monitoring blood sugar levels are essential for early detection and management of blood sugar issues.
