#35 Sweet Dreams Are Made Of....Good Blood Sugars

In this episode, Dr. Grady and Dr. Garrett discuss all things sleep and blood sugar. We go over how what you do during the day (food, exercise, etc) affects your blood sugars through the night, the impact that your blood sugars have on your quality of sleep, the importance of sleep itself, and how that impacts your blood sugars the next day.
