Did you know that according to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 Americans have prediabetes? This can raise the risk of stroke, heart disease, and Type 2 diabetes. Many people may not even know they have it, which is why awareness is so important. When someone is first diagnosed, checking blood sugar often is very important. It helps them learn how food, activity, stress, and even illness can affect their numbers. Over time, patterns may become easier to understand, but there are still some unexpected things that can cause blood sugar to go up.

Here are six surprising things that can raise blood sugar:
• Sunburn – Pain from a sunburn can cause stress in the body, which may raise blood sugar.
• Artificial sweeteners – Some studies show they may still affect blood sugar, even though they don’t contain sugar.
• Coffee – The caffeine in coffee can raise blood sugar for some people, even without adding sugar.
• Lack of sleep – Not getting enough rest, even for one night, can make it harder for the body to use insulin.
• Skipping breakfast – Missing your first meal can lead to higher blood sugar later in the day.
• Dehydration – Not drinking enough water can make blood sugar levels rise.

Small daily choices can make a big difference. Staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, getting enough rest, and keeping track of blood sugar levels can all help support better health.

Cypress Station Star of the Year is Armisha Adams
Our amazing Admissions Director Armisha Adams is our star of the year. She has been with the company since 2018 and is one of our hardest workers. This woman comes in early, on the weekends, on holidays and works on to make sure this census continues to rise, she is too dedicated to Park Manor. Residents always run to her for anything and everything because she makes sure, they are satisfied with the building and the care. When we have a new admit no matter the time, she will be making sure every little detail is handled, and things run smoothly. I know she can’t control everything, but she does her absolute best to give everyone that welcoming feeling. I could go on and on about how wonderful our admission director is but I think you know. We are thrilled to give her this award and to have her with us.

Staying heart-healthy is a lifestyle, supported by healthy habits and the encouragement of loved ones. These habits can help prevent heart disease, maintain normal blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
THIS AMERICAN HEART MONTH, SHARE THESE TIPS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY:
Eat Healthy: Focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, limit processed foods, and avoid foods high in saturated and trans fats. Choose foods high in fiber to help lower cholesterol and limit salt to lower blood pressure. Also, reduce sugar intake to manage blood sugar levels, and limit or avoid alcohol.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Carrying excess weight adds stress on the heart and increases the risk of heart disease.
Stay Active: Aim for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate exercise per week (e.g., brisk walking or biking).
Children should get 1 hour of activity daily.
Get Enough Sleep: Regular, quality sleep (7-8 hours) supports heart and blood vessel health. Lack of sleep is linked to higher risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Consult your physician or dietitian before making any changes to your daily routine, exercise, or diet to know what is right for you.
