Doctor Warns of Common Morning Habits That May Hinder Blood Sugar Control
Dr. Jess Bunyawongviroj of Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital has identified five morning routines that many believe are healthy but may actually complicate blood sugar management.
On September 7, 2026, Dr. Jess Bunyawongviroj, Deputy Director of Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, shared insights via his social media platform regarding common morning habits that can inadvertently hinder blood sugar control. According to the report by Khaosod Online, Dr. Jess highlighted five specific practices often perceived as healthy but potentially problematic for individuals managing insulin resistance or diabetes.
These habits include consuming fruit juice for vitamins, eating granola with yogurt, skipping breakfast, drinking electrolyte beverages after exercise, and adding honey to drinks under the assumption that it is a healthier alternative to sugar. Dr. Jess explained that during the morning, the body naturally experiences an increase in cortisol and growth hormone to facilitate waking, which can make blood sugar levels more sensitive.
For residents and travelers managing blood sugar, these insights suggest that even well-intentioned dietary choices may lead to rapid carbohydrate intake or unexpected sugar consumption. While these observations provide a perspective on metabolic health, they are intended as general information rather than personalized medical advice. It remains to be confirmed how individual metabolic responses vary across different demographics, and those with specific health concerns should consult with a medical professional regarding their dietary management.
