Living with diabetes is a journey that demands constant vigilance, dedication, and resilience. Yet, it's a journey that can be navigated successfully with the right mindset and strategies. One of the most critical aspects of managing diabetes is preventing high blood sugars, which can lead to so many complications if left unchecked. Here’s how you can empower your health and keep those blood sugars in check.
1. Educate Yourself; properly
Knowledge is power. Understanding how different foods, activities, and stress levels impact your blood sugar is crucial. Take time to learn about the glycemic index, carb counting, and the effects of exercise on glucose levels. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make informed decisions. Keep in mind that simply googling questions can be very scary in the diabetes world. Always find reliable sources, ask your provider, talk with your diabetes education team, or other licensed professionals, and find research articles that are evidence based. I see too many people treat their diabetes with cinnamon or apple cider vinegar alone and expect major results. If you are unsure, please reach out to our team and we can try to assist you as well.
