Who else is struggling with this time change ?

Let me know, are you a fan of daylight savings or a fan of leave it alone?

Sleep is one of those things that your doctor never tells you to get more of when you’re type 2 diabetic.

not getting enough sleep, raises your blood sugar the next day, it makes you crave more carb heavy food, and makes you more insulin resistant.

Aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night and if you are getting below that work your way up to those numbers. Start developing a nighttime routine, drinking tea reading a book or journaling can help relax your mind.

Know your A1C and understand your daily average. Knowing this allows you to make adjustments with your food and movement to move towards an optimal A1C

This is my real number after a meal with about 50 grams of carbs.

I did 10 to 20 squats, then again 15 minutes later, and my blood sugar came down about 50 points in 30 minutes.

Large muscles use sugar when they work, which is why short bursts of movement after a meal can help. That was one reading in my body. Yours may respond differently.

This is general education, not medical advice. If you take insulin or other diabetes medicine, or you have a knee, back or balance problem, check with your care team before you try it.

Do you remember learning in class, the acronym KISS? I remember my fifth grade teacher didn’t like to use the word stupid so she changed the last S to mean Simon, but it’s stuck with me and it is applicable when it comes to our food.

As a diabetic the last thing we wanna do is complicate what we’re eating because diabetes is always complicated enough.

Sometimes breakfast looks like grabbing a handful of tomatoes and a cheese stick to get your protein and not shown here I grabbed some low-fat plain yogurt for extra protein and that’s OK.

Every meal doesn’t have to be fancy. What do you think? Would you eat this?

It’s world diabetes month and today we’re talking about a supplement that has been scientifically, proven to improve health on multiple levels.

Squatting after meals significantly reduces the spike as it forces your muscles (which are glucose sponges) to utilize glucose that you just ate!

Have you tried this?
