    The Impact of Sleep on Diabetes: Understanding the Connection and Improving Outcomes

    Dec 10, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (CT)

    This webinar will delve into the intricate relationship between sleep and diabetes, emphasizing how poor sleep quality and quantity can significantly impact glucose levels and overall health. We'll explore whether people with diabetes are more prone to sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and how sleep is correlated with other comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease. Attendees will also receive practical tips for discussing sleep patterns with their patients and review the latest research on sleep's importance for both health care providers and patients. Additionally, the role of nutrition in sleep hygiene, including meal timing and food choices, will be discussed to provide holistic care strategies.
