Did you know that one in four people have a problem with sleep?

When you see your client, and they are having problems losing weight or they are having problems managing their diabetes. Probably the first thing you will do as their dietitian or diabetes educator is talking about food.

But, wait a minute. You may need to talk about another key piece in the management of weight and diabetes. That is how to get a good night's sleep: one that provides quality sleep and the needed number of hours.

Being sleep-deprived, or not getting enough sleep can impact blood pressure, weight, diabetes, and cholesterol levels. Perhaps it is time to talk with your client about sleep to help with other health issues.
