Rhodes to act as interim School Superintendent

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Tillamook School District Board of Directors appointed Bruce Rhodes interim superinten dent at a special meeting on Mon day, November 21.

Rhodes will serve as superinten dent until January 13, 2023, and was approved unanimously.

“The district means a lot to me,” Rhodes said when asked by the board why he was volunteering for the assignment.

Rhodes began working in the district as a biology teacher in 1987 and most recently worked as the grants and programs director at Tillamook High School until his retirement in 2019.

Since retiring, Rhodes had been working intermittently as a grant writing consultant with various schools and districts in the area.

“I’m a known quantity and stable,” Rhodes said. “I’ve been around a long time”

Rhodes said that he would priori tize stabilizing the district through a time of transition in his short stint as superintendent.

The board now has just under two months to find an interim super intendent to manage the district for the remainder of this school year.

They can then begin the search for a permanent replacement for Curt Shelley who resigned abruptly on November 14, after five years

Council approves contract with police dept. labor union

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

The Tillamook City Council ap proved a new contract with the city’s police department labor union at their meeting on November 21.

The department is represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the new contract will run through June 30, 2025.

The new contract largely hews to the same form as the previous contract, although with a slight pay increase for officers.

Officers will also stop receiving a $50 monthly cellphone stipend as they already receive department is sued phones.

Tillamook’s police department is fully staffed, although Chief Ray mond Rau let the council know that he was still trying to hire an officer to replace a retired officer who is work ing part time.

Ratification of the contract was the only major business addressed by the council in the meeting, with the only other agenda item being a slight modification to the city’s sign ordinance.

Councilors also gave updates on workforce housing projects coming to the area.

Councilor Brian Reynolds, who is also on the planning commission, told the council that the commission had approved construction of four small houses at a lot on fourth street.

Rebekah Hopkins, who also serves on the Tillamook Urban Renewal Agency Board, told the council about a site visit the board made at their most recent meeting. They visited the Oregon Coast Dance Center above which owner Lisa Greiner is plan ning to build four apartments.

The board thanked Rhodes for his availability and willingness to take the position, amended the district’s organizational resolution to reflect his hiring and adjourned.

Shelley resigns

Shelley resigned as superin tendent of the Tillamook School District, effective Monday, Novem ber 14; he will receive his salary through October 31, 2023.

The school board unanimously accepted Shelley’s resignation at its regular meeting on November 14, reading a brief statement before voting to accept the resignation just before adjourning the meeting.

“Superintendent Shelley and the Board have agreed that now is the time to make a change at the helm,” the board said in the statement.

“Therefore, effective today, Novem ber 14, 2022, Curt will no longer serve as our Superintendent.”

Board members refused to comment further on the matter and directed questions to district staff.

The separation agreement released to the Herald revealed that Shelley will be paid his full salary of $158,656, and will receive medical, dental and vision insurance coverage through the district until October 31, 2023.

The agreement also contains a clause that neither Shelley nor the board “shall release any information from the investigation including

the investigation report by Ussery Consultants, Inc.,” as well as a nondisparagement clause.

Shelley and the board had reached a new contract agreement in March 2021 that would have seen Shelley remain in charge of the district through 2025.

Per the terms of the contract,

Visitor Spending tops $1.46 billion in NW Oregon in 2021

Erik Knoder

For the Headlight Herald

Visitor spending rose to $1.46 billion in Northwest Oregon in 2021.

This was an increase of 46.4% after adjusting for inflation from 2020. Visitor spending col lapsed by 42% in 2020 when the pandemic recession struck, and businesses were curtailed in March of that year.

The jump in spending in 2021 was the largest since data has been collected, but it still yielded less spending than the $1.73 billion that was spent in 2019. Visitor spending had been growing about 3% per year since 2011. The region had seen drops in spending before, such as during the Great Recession, but nothing compared to the collapse in 2020.

The leisure and hospitality sector was commonly the largest industry sector in Northwest Oregon measured by employ ment, but the pandemic recession reduced its size to where it was slightly smaller than the trade, transportation, and utilities sector in 2020 and 2021.

Leisure and hospitality pro vided 14,906 payroll jobs on an annual average basis in 2021. This was about 16% of all jobs (excluding self-employment) in Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, and Tillamook coun ties combined. The two larg est parts of the sector are the accommodation industry (e.g. motels and campgrounds), and the food services and drinking places industry (e.g. restaurants and bars). The sector’s health depends in large part on spending by visitors.

Visitors also spend money in other sectors such as retail trade, transportation, and even health services when vacation accidents happen. But because visitors account for a smaller portion of spending in these industries, the leisure and hospitality sector is considered the best proxy for the tourism industry as a whole.

Visitor spending peaked in 2006 at $1.43 billion (in 2021 dollars), and then fell two per cent the next year. Spending was up and down during the Great

Visitor spending in Northwest Oregon fell 42% in 2020 to $998 million. This was just above the level of 1992.

Benton County had the second-largest drop in visitor spending (-57.2%) of all coun ties in Oregon in 2020. But the county bounced back dramatical ly in 2021 with visitor spending increasing 158% to a record $148 million. The drop and recovery are probably due to changes by students at Oregon State Univer sity; in-person attendance was suspended in 2020 and resumed in 2021. The other counties in Northwest Oregon saw visitor spending increase sharply in 2021, but not quite recover to pre-pandemic levels.

Employment in the leisure and hospitality sector tends to parallel visitor spending. It’s improving rapidly but is still not completely recovered, except in Benton County. Employment in the five counties in Northwest Oregon dropped an unprecedented 54% from March to April in 2020.

Employment has been grow ing since then. In September 2022 it was 8.6% higher than the year before, but it remained 1.2% lower than in September 2019 – the last year before the pan demic recession. As Northwest

Oregon’s

2022, employment was starting its seasonal decline. It seems likely that the sector will con tinue to grow in the longer run and its employment will return to pre-pandemic levels by next year.

In fact, there is some reason to think that the main constraint on employment growth in 2022 was the tight labor market, not lack of visitor spending. Job vacancy surveys showed that there were more job openings than people who were unemployed in 2022.

The long-term outlook for visitor spending is good. The lei sure and hospitality sector’s em ployment in Northwest Oregon is expected to grow 44% from 2020 to 2030. Most of that growth is based on the expectation that the sector recovers to its former level. After that, the sector’s em ployment will probably grow at a little less than 1% per year.

A major unknown factor will be how the pandemic reces sion and subsequent tight labor market will affect the sector’s adoption of labor-saving tech nology and business practices. Businesses may be more likely to implement service models, such as takeaway food, that allow them more flexibility in adapting to any future pandemic.

There is nothing leisurely in the work life of leisure and hos pitality managers!

County employees to receive pay increase in 2023

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Tillamook county employees will be receiving a 5% pay increase in 2023.

The county’s board of commis sioners approved the increase for the county’s unionized employees at their November 23 meeting and sig naled that they would do the same for nonunion employees shortly.

Commissioners said that with the high level of inflation and housing costs in Tillamook County the raise was well-deserved.

The funds to pay for the raise will come from salary allocations for positions that remain vacant in the county.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters that represents the sheriff’s department and AFSCME that represents non-managerial staff across the county have already signed off on the pay increases.

The board also cleared Tillamook County Treasurer Shawn Blanchard to start the accounting process to give the same raise to managers and other nonunion staff.

The board also approved a memorandum of agreement with the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay. The memorandum will send $20,000 in county funding to the corps that plays a critical role in disaster response in the central county.

Commissioners gave approval for an Oregon Department of Emer gency Management Grant that pays for Emergency Management Direc

The contract called for Shelley to give 60 day’s advance notice of his intended resignation and stated that he would be paid for “days actually worked, accrued vacation, and holidays that occur prior to the termination of the agreement.”

Shelley was entitled to receive a severance payment of one year’s salary in the case of termination without cause.

Tillamook graduate Ruby Thompson to perform at Carnegie Hall

For the Herald

Ruby Thompson, a 2020 graduate from Tillamook High School, currently en rolled at Willamette Universi ty in Salem Oregon, has been selected for the Young Adult Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall.

Thompson will perform Flute in February with the Young Adult Honors Perfor mance Series. Participation in the Honors Ensembles is limited to the highest-rated young performers from across the world.

Thompson studied music in Tillamook under Tillamook School District band teacher Mr. Lee for seven years.

“I became interested in

music at a young age from my father but didn’t begin playing flute until I was 11 years old,” Thompson said.

Thompson auditioned for the Honors Performance Se ries and was recently accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Acceptance to the elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedication, and achievements demon strated in their application and audition recording.

Thompson has studied flute for 10 years and currently participating in solo rehearsal and performances within the Willamette University Music Department. In 2020 Thompson took first place in flute solo performance at the district 13 Solo & Ensemble

competition. In response to her selection, Ruby said, “After suffering a slip jaw in fall of 2020, and undergo

ing orthodontic treatment, I’ve had to work harder than ever to maintain my skill and continue my music career. Getting accepted into this per formance is my first big step forward since the setback and I couldn’t be prouder myself.”

Thompson will join performers from around the globe for a special perfor mance at the world-famous Carnegie Hall, a venue that marks the pinnacle of musical achievement. The finalists will come together in New York City where they will have the opportunity to learn from world-renowned con ductors, work with other per formers, and get a taste of city life. The Honors Performance will take place February 4th

and is open to the public. Tickets can be purchased beginning approximately 60 days prior to the performance through the Carnegie Hall box office.

“Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each Finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing,” said Marion Gomez, Music Director for the Honors Performance Series. “We processed nearly 10,000 nominations this year and have selected the most talented student performers from around the world. Work ing with these conductors and performing at these renowned music halls is a once-in-alifetime experience that these musicians will never forget.”

Thompson plans to con tinue performing and continue her music education.

“Next for my music, I look forward to continuing my solo performance and returning to the orchestra at Willamette University,” Thompson said.

The Honors Performance Series was created to show case accomplished individual student performers on an in ternational level by allowing them to study under master conductors and perform in world renowned venues. The Honors Performance Series is proudly presented by World Strides, the nation’s leading educational travel organiza tion. Learn more by visiting www.honorsperformance.org and www.worldstrides.com.

Tillamook County Solid Waste

The holidays are upon us, and we could all use a bit of good cheer. Unfortunately, the most wonderful time of the year is also the most wasteful time of the year. According to estimates by the National Environmental Education Foundation, the amount of trash in the United States increases by 25% between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Fortunately, there are ways we can still enjoy the holiday cheer without placing undo burdens on the environment. Here are some examples:

• Reduce the amount of food we prepare. Sure, we all like an extra slice of turkey or ham, and maybe a slice of pie, but do we really need more pies than we have guests?

• If you need to buy new lights to decorate, make sure you use Energy Star-certified lights, which can use 75% less energy than others.

• The U.S. uses 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper each Christmas, and half of it ends up in a landfill. Use wrapping paper that can be recycled. Even if you carefully remove the paper and use it again next year, someday it will need to be discarded. Wrapping paper with metallic coatings cannot be recycled, so avoid them.

• Once the festivities are over, remove all the lights and decorations (including tinsel!) from your tree and drop it off (using the coupon on this page) at the Tillamook County transfer station nearest you. Some of the trees will be used in habitat restora tion activities, and the rest will be composted.

Together, we can enjoy the holidays without placing an overwhelming burden on the environment – and cutting back on some expenses at the same time. Enjoy the holidays!

TSD9 needs to fix gender policy in locker rooms

Should adolescent girls be subjected to sharing their locker room with a biological male?

It is awkward and uncom fortable enough having to dress down for P.E. around other biological females.

Undressing in a locker room full of other girls at various stages of development and with different body types is nerve wracking enough. Al lowing a biological male into the locker room with the girls is highly inappropriate and unfair to them.

These girls have the right to have locker rooms that are for biological females only, no exceptions. It is insulting that they have been told that if they are uncomfortable with a biological male being allowed to get undressed with them they can opt to move to the band/choir room.

We are making a mockery of women’s rights by allowing men to claim they are female when they will never truly be able to experience life as a

woman. They will never men struate, never be able to grow another life inside of them, they will never experience the miracle and intense pain of childbirth.

Our girls deserve better, they deserve a safe, private space away from all biological males to change and take care of their feminine needs.

As a mother of boys I would also make the same exact argument that boys deserve a safe, private space away from biological females as well.

Tillamook School District needs to fix this immediately.

Typical political commentary today

Dear Editor, (from a long time Tillamook cheesehead)

Re: Niall Stange, “The Memo: Democrats pine for Trump as GOP nominee,” 1126-22, The Hill.

A recent election analysis published by The Hill is typi cal of political commentary

today. Those waters don’t run very deep. And one thing for sure, they all have swallowed Trump’s bait and focus on a single personality instead of all those other people and things that are sacred to America.

One expert opines, “People are sick of the inflammatory stuff . . . tired of the divisive ness . . . tired of the lies.” An election strategist adds, “He seems a little bit of a spent force.”

A prominent business newspaper thinks, “The deadly violence will forever stain his legacy.” His legacy? How about the country’s legacy? What about the legacy of Boomers, Gen Xers, Mil lennials, and Zers?

In all this the reference point is to the man, not the law, the history, the govern ment, the free enterprise system, the land, the heritage of our various peoples, the alliances, the churches, the social studies teachers, the law schools and university politi cal science departments, the great Presidents of the past.

Do these very real and very important influencers in our society serve as any kind of

Our 2022 Christmas Tree Lighting has been one of my favorite parts of the holiday season since we moved here. We love the tree, the train, Santa, kids, and all the lights and music up and down 101 as the downtown businesses get into the holiday spirit.

But it’s really just the start of the season, and the month of December is full of de lights in our little beach town.

The Rockaway Beach Library opened its annual gift table a few days before Thanksgiving. The premise is simple: donate a gift (valued around $5) for the library to sell, or buy a gift from the table to share with someone in your life. All proceeds go to help the Friends of the Library maintain the building and grounds, from utilities to repairs and more.

The Rockaway Beach Merchant’s Association returns with its annual Busi ness & Residential Christmas Decorating Contest, “Light Up Rockaway.” You’re en couraged to start decorating now; the deadline for entry is December 14, with on December 15. Winners will be announced on the 16th.

Categories include resi dential, commercial building decoration, and commercial window display. The contest is open to all Rockaway residents and businesses. To enter the contest, visit the Rockaway Beach Merchant’s Association Facebook page and click on the link.

The weekend of December 10, though, is when things really get festive. If you’ve ever seen a SantaCon in

What about our grave yards full of ancestral patri ots who believed in the rule of law and spent their lives paying respect to it? Wait, did you just feel the ground move?

SCOTT FISHER ROCKAWAY BEACH sfisher71@yahoo.com

Portland, you know what an experience it is; if not, well, imagine the streets crowded with people dressed, and be having, like Santa Claus. This year, Rockaway is celebrat ing SantaCon at the Rocka way Roastery, 165 S. Miller. Put together your favorite Santa outfit, or as organizer Penny Cole says, whatever holiday outfit lights you up: “All denominations encour aged—don’t miss out!”

Bring an unwrapped new (or gently used) gift for a child of any age, which will be given to children in the Rockaway community. There will be a group photo at 12:45 at the roastery, after which the event will spill out into the streets. “Dancing is encouraged everywhere!”

Penny said.

Something else planned for the Roastery that day is an art sale by the Rockaway Renaissance Artists. The group (about which I’ve written before) is planning a tent space with three tables, where members have their art available for sale. For more information, or to reserve a spot for your own art, see the Rockaway Renaissance Artist Facebook group, and look for Jill Collar’s posting to contact her.

Also on December 10, combine your children’s love of fire engines and their love of the season with Santa at the Station, from 6–8 PM at the Rockaway Fire Station, 270 Anchor Street (behind City Hall and near the Lion’s Club). There’ll be pictures with Santa, cookies and hot cocoa, door prizes and treat bags, but for some of us, the real draw is the chance to go for a ride on a fire truck. And of course, don’t forget to bring your letters for Santa. You’ll have another chance to see Santa at Simply Charming, 130 N Highway 101, on Saturday, Dec 17th, 11:30 AM—3:00 PM. Kim Tackett is hosting her an nual Children’s Christmas Celebration, this year with with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I sang and played ukulele at one of these events when Simply Charming was still in the yellow house be tween the blacksmith’s shop and the Little White Church, and it’s always lovely. This year, Kim is hosting a special market for kids 10 and under where they can shop for loved ones. There’ll be photos, treats, live music, and more. But the big event of the day: Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive at noon.

The last event during these two weeks might not have the glitter of Christmas lights or the flash of a fire truck, but it goes one better: it just might save a life. The fire station is hosting a free CPR educa tion day on Sunday, Decem ber 18th. Stop in any time between 11 AM and 5 PM for CPR and first aid information and practice.

Increased emergency SNAP benefits continue in December

Most Oregonians, and Til lamook County residents who receive SNAP benefits will continue to receive temporar ily increased emergency food benefits in December

Approximately 426,000 SNAP households will receive approximately $70 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits

These emergency benefits are a temporary support that Oregon can provide because of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency.

The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients ad ditional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. These emergency benefits are a tem porary support that Oregon can provide because of the federal COVID-19 public health emergency.

Because the federal government approved these emergency benefits for De cember, Oregon will also be able to issue them in January 2023. However, the emergen cy benefits are expected to end when the federal public health emergency ends.

In December, approxi mately 426,000 SNAP house holds will receive approxi mately $70 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits.

“The holiday season can also bring additional stress and worry for many Orego nians who are still struggling to meet their basic needs and we encourage them to contact our partners at 211, the Oregon Food Bank and their local Community Action Agency for support during this difficult time.”

Current SNAP households will receive emergency allot ments on Dec. 13. Emergen cy allotments will be issued Dec. 30 or Jan. 4, 2023 for households who did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance.

SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards.

Tillamook falls short to Estacads in State 4A Football Championship

Will Chappell Headlight Reporter

Oregon School Activities Association 4A Champion ship game on Saturday, November 26, at Hillsboro Stadium.

The Rangers rode an unrelenting attack from their backfield to an early lead and huge advantage in time of possession while the

session and the Tillamook defense forced a turnover on downs.

On the next drive, it looked as though the Chee semakers might crack the code after a thirty-plus yard reception from Zeyon Hurli man set the Mooks up on the Estacada 17-yard line as

Mooks offense was frus trated by Estacada’s defense throughout the game.

“They were a fantastic football team tonight, a well-earned victory for the Rangers for sure” Tillamook Head Coach Kye Johnson said after the game.

The game took place in front of a raucous crowd in Hillsboro, with stadium officials estimating that just shy of 5,000 fans turned out for the matchup.

The Cheesemakers struggled from the open ing kick of the game, going three and out deep in their own territory after a bounc ing opening kick proved hard to corral.

Starting near midfield, the Rangers’ offense came out of the gates strong, picking up two quick first downs.

It looked as though the Cheesemakers were going to make a stand, as they forced a fourth and eight at their own 28-yard line.

But a well-placed pass picked up the first and Estacada went on to score a few plays later on a quarter back keeper and chose to go for two successfully, giving them an 8-0 lead early.

The Mooks’ struggles continued the next drive when a Tanner Hoskins pass was tipped by Estacada and picked off.

Estacada drew a holding penalty on its ensuing pos

the first quarter ended.

The Mooks picked up nine yards on the next three plays but were stuffed by the Estacada defense on a fourth-and-one rushing attempt.

It was then that the Rang ers put their foot on the gas.

The backfield duo of James Durand and Waylon Riedel put on a masterclass against the Cheesemakers for the next quarter and a half, leading Estcada to nearly 36 minutes possess ing the ball, a state champi onship game record.

The tandem accounted for almost all of Estacada’s output on the evening and were rarely brought down by a single Cheesemaker.

“We knew it was going to be difficult to stop their run game,” Johsnon said after the game.

Following the Cheese makers’ abortive redzone trip, the Rangers uncorked a long drive, ending in a Durand touchdown and failed two-point conversion to go up 14-0 with 4:16 left in the half.

After another short Chee semaker possession ended in a turnover on downs, the Rangers put together a quick drive, ending in an other Durand touchdown.

A successful two-point conversion sent Estacada

The Tillamook Chee semakers football team ended one of the best seasons in program his tory with a disappointing loss, falling 32-8 to the Estacada Rangers in the

into the locker room with a 22-0 lead.

The Rangers effectively sealed the game on their first possession of the third quarter.

Behind the methodical rushing attack, Estacada mounted a drive that ate up over eight minutes of game time.

The Mooks eventually held the Rangers to a field goal, but with just over 15 minutes remaining in the game, Estacada held a com manding four possession lead.

For a brief moment the Cheesemakers appeared to have a flash of hope when Hoskins found Hurliman for a 55-yard touchdown on the second play of the next drive.

A successful two-point conversion by Judah Werner put Tillamook down 25-8 with 2:44 remaining in the third.

But a rally was not to be.

The Cheesemaker defense finally figured out the Rangers rushing attack, forcing a turnover on downs and three and out on the next two Estacada drives, but the offense could not regain the initiative.

Two more turnovers on downs followed for the Cheesemakers before a late

interception put an end to a difficult night for the team.

A rushing touchdown from Estacada’s quarterback and extra-point kick gave Estacada their final 32-8 margin and first state cham pionship in program history.

“We just dug ourselves into too deep a hole,” John son said after the game.

But he also praised his players’ resiliency in the game, noting they had only given up ten points in the second half.

“I can’t say enough about that group’s willingness to fight,” Johnson said.

Despite the loss on Saturday, 2022 marked a new highwater mark for the program under Johnson’s leadership with the Cheese makers finishing 10-3 on the season.

The Mooks have made the playoffs in three of the last four years and won their first league champion ship since 1999 this season, while the trip to the cham pionship game was only the second in program history.

“We were kind of the out siders of this year, we laid low, we were kind of under the radar,” Johnson said.

“We’ll be back, I’m sure of that,” he continued. “This is just the beginning of some really good postseason runs for the Cheesemakers.”

What does sleep have to do with Diabetes?

Kam Atwal Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Pulmonary / Critical Care / Sleep Medicine at Adventist Health Tillamook

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects more than 30 million Americans and is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States. Most of us know how important weight control, exercise, and nutri tion are in controlling blood sugars. What impact does sleep have?

Sleep is extremely impor tant in maintaining our body’s performance, not only physi cally and mentally, but also down to the body’s chemical balances. Diabetes, whether type 1 or 2, comes down to an imbalance of the insulin and blood sugar relationship.

The right amount of sleep is needed to keep the endo crine system working well so insulin and blood sugar stays balanced. Studies have shown that too little sleep (less than 6 hours) or too much sleep (greater than 9 hours) can increase the risk for developing diabetes and make pre-existing diabetes more difficult to control.

Some research suggests a 40% increase in the risk of developing diabetes if sleeping less than four hours per night. The human body is very complicated, and it needs just the right amount of sleep to work properly. The recommendation of about 7-8 hours a night comes from years of research to evaluate the amount sleep needed for our bodies to function at their best.

Even if your body is get

ting the right amount of sleep, the sleep needs to be quality sleep. Quality sleep is needed to make sure your body is truly rested with good oxygen levels, few awakenings, and can achieve deep sleep. If the sleep quality is poor, blood sugars will rise and the insulin produced will be less effec tive, leading to prediabetic conditions or making diabetes difficult to control.

The most common sleep disorders affecting diabetes are Sleep Apnea and Restless Leg Syndrome. Sleep apnea is when the back of your throat keeps collapsing during sleep and oxygen levels fall, leading to disturbed sleep and lack of deep sleep. Restless Leg Syndrome is a when the

legs are moving around a lot during sleep because of pain or tingling and numbness leading to disturbed sleep and lack of deep sleep. Both these conditions cause a rise in blood sugars, increased insulin resistance, increase in stress hormones such as cor tisol and the hunger hormone, ghrelin, all which contribute to diabetes. Treatment of these sleep disorders will help balance these hormones and help manage and decrease the risk of diabetes.

Not only does poor sleep affect your blood sugars at night, but in the daytime your energy levels will be low leading to poor blood sugar metabolism, lack of exercise, and weight gain over time. In short, poor sleep will affect night and daytime blood sug ars and insulin effectiveness.

The relationship between sleep and diabetes is complex. Not only do you need good quantity and quality of sleep for better diabetes control and decrease risk of diabetes, but if you have poorly controlled diabetes it will affect your sleep. This stresses the fact that the approach to diabetic management is a multiapproach program includ

ing good sleep, nutrition, exercise, weight loss, and medication as directed by your physician.

Making your sleep health a priority will not only help you cut down your diabetes risk or better manage your diabetes, it will help with your overall wellbeing, including man aging other chronic health conditions.
