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.

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.

It’s American Heart Month! Know the ABCS of Heart Health. Every year, Americans suffer more than 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes. The good news is that you can help reduce your risk and improve your heart health by following the ABCS:
A: Ask your health care professional if aspirin can reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Be sure to tell your health care professional if you have a family history of heart disease or stroke.
B: Control your blood pressure. Blood pressure measures the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. High blood pressure increases your risk for heart attack or stroke more than any other risk factor. Find out what your blood pressure numbers are and work with your health care professional to lower it.
C: Manage your cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods. Your body needs cholesterol, but when you have too much, it can build up in your arteries and cause heart disease. There are different types of cholesterol: One type is “good” and can protect you from heart disease but another type is “bad” and can increase your risk. Talk to your health care professional about cholesterol and how to lower your bad cholesterol if it’s too high.
S: Don’t smoke. Smoking raises your blood pressure, which increases your risk for heart attack and stroke. If you smoke, quit. Talk with your health care professional about ways to help you stick with your decision. It’s never too late to quit.
