After having been diagnosed with Gestational diabetes it is
important to prevent the development of a more permanent case of Type 2
diabetes. Scientists at the Research Center for Environmental Health and
other research facilities in Germany, compared sleep quality and sugar
tolerance after women having had a diagnosis of diabetes during their
pregnancy.
Their investigation, reported on in the Journal of Psychiatric Research in April 2015, looked at...
Under stress the endocrine glands release hormones to ready us for the fight or flight response. Cortisol and epinephrine raise blood sugar levels to provide the cells with all the energy we might need. If the body is insensitive to insulin or incapable of making it in sufficient amounts, blood sugar levels tend to stay high.
Everyone has spent a night tossing and turning during a stressful time. When the stress is constant and sleep quality goes down indefinitely, we cannot get the rest we need.
New mothers generally do not have a lot of time for stress therapy, but finding time for staying healthy is important for mother and baby. The Mayo Clinic in the United States suggests techniques such as...
Progressive muscle relaxation is just what it sounds like. Participants start from their head muscles and progress down, or start with their feet and go up. Tense each muscle group for 5 seconds followed by relaxing the same muscle group for 30 seconds.
Autogenic relaxation comes from inside. Repeating words or ideas while focusing on relaxed breathing and slowing the heart rate, and lowering blood pressure. Alternatively relaxing each limb one by one can help take away stress.
Exercise is also good for relieving stress, so get a buggy designed for jogging, or maybe find a babysitter and go for a swim.
Their investigation, reported on in the Journal of Psychiatric Research in April 2015, looked at...
- 61 women after Gestational diabetes, and
- 30 women after a healthy pregnancy.
- among the women with a history of Gestational diabetes, sleep quality was associated with blood sugar levels 2 hours after they consumed sugar.
- among the thirty women who had a healthy pregnancy, no such link was found.
- women who reported feeling stress had a 12 per cent higher risk for poor sleep quality.

Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2
diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple
changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood
sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
