Why Your Blood Sugars Are Higher After Daylight Savings


Listen Later

If your blood sugars suddenly feel weird or harder to control this week, you're not imagining things. In this episode of the Your Diabetes Insider Podcast, I'm talking about something that almost nobody warns people with diabetes about… Daylight Savings Time.

That one-hour time change might seem small, but it can actually throw off your sleep, hormones, circadian rhythm, and blood sugar levels. If you're seeing higher fasting numbers, more insulin resistance, or random highs, there's a very real chance your body is simply adjusting to the new time.

In this episode, I break down why daylight savings messes with blood sugar, how sleep affects insulin resistance, and what to expect during the first week after the time change. I also share a few simple things you should (and shouldn't) do so you don't overcorrect or panic!
