A Thai doctor is warning about common morning habits that can lead to dangerously high blood sugar levels and insulin resistance.

•Dr. Jesd Bunnagwirote highlighted five daily morning behaviors that can cause blood sugar to spike unexpectedly.
•These habits are particularly concerning for individuals with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes.
•The identified behaviors include immediate consumption of sweet drinks, skipping breakfast inappropriately, eating refined carbohydrates first, lack of physical activity after waking, and consuming sugary drinks due to insufficient sleep.

•On April 12, 2026, a report emerged concerning morning habits impacting blood sugar.
•Dr. Jesd Bunnagwirote posted a warning on his Facebook page, "Mor Jed", stating, "After waking up, doing this every day, beware! Blood sugar will spike unknowingly."
•The doctor explained that certain morning routines can accelerate blood sugar levels, especially for those with insulin resistance or at risk of diabetes.
•Five specific behaviors were identified as potentially causing blood sugar to spike unknowingly: drinking sweet coffee immediately after waking, skipping breakfast when the body is not ready, consuming refined carbohydrates as the first meal, remaining inactive after waking, and drinking sugary beverages to combat fatigue from lack of sleep.
•Immediate consumption of sweet coffee after waking adds sugar when the body naturally has hormones stimulating blood sugar, leading to a sharper rise.
•Skipping breakfast for those not used to intermittent fasting or who are stressed and have insulin resistance can lead to a sugar crash followed by a spike due to overeating at the first meal.
•Eating refined carbohydrates like white bread or sweet cereal as the first meal leads to rapid sugar spikes due to low fiber content, resulting in early hunger and fatigue.
•Lack of movement after waking prevents muscles from helping to utilize sugar, causing it to remain in the bloodstream longer, resulting in feelings of sluggishness and sleepiness.

นิสัยเล็ก ๆ ตอนเช้านี่แหละ อาจเป็นตัวเร่งให้น้ำตาลในเลือดพุ่งสูงแบบไม่รู้ตัว

Dr. Jed

"If this is done daily, you risk insulin resistance unknowingly."

ถ้าทำแบบนี้ทุกวัน เสี่ยงดื้ออินซูลินโดยไม่รู้ตัวครับ

Dr. Jed

"If this happens, it means the body is not yet suitable for skipping breakfast."

ถ้าเป็นแบบนี้ แปลว่าร่างกายยังไม่เหมาะกับการข้ามมื้อเช้าครับ

Dr. Jed

"Starting the day with this kind of food daily will cause repeated sugar spikes, making it difficult for the body to control."

ถ้าเริ่มวันด้วยอาหารแบบนี้ทุกวัน น้ำตาลจะพุ่งซ้ำ ๆ จนร่างกายควบคุมยาก

Dr. Jed

"Muscles won't help utilize sugar, causing blood sugar to remain higher for longer."

กล้ามเนื้อจะไม่ช่วยดึงน้ำตาลไปใช้ ทำให้น้ำตาลค้างในเลือดนานขึ้น

Dr. Jed

"If the issue of sleep isn't addressed, even diet control won't be enough."

ถ้าไม่แก้ที่การนอน ต่อให้คุมอาหารก็เอาไม่อยู่
