I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say this: Blood sugar spikes and dips can feel TOTALLY random. You may wake up one morning, not eat a bit of food, and find your blood sugar spikes for no reason at all.
My method for diabetes management focuses on building habits into my client's every-day routine. This allows them to maintain steady blood sugars consistently. In this post you'll discover four every-day habits that keep blood sugars steady all day. The best part? They're super easy and painless to put in place. It's frustrating when you realize your favorite meal is not blood sugar friendly. You adore your grandma's pot pie recipe. But it's 75g of fast-acting carbs, greasy fat content, and minimal fiber. You're now left chasing an unpredictable blood sugar with insulin and juice boxes.
I'm here to tell you that you can continue eating your favorite meals with diabetes. Make a few modifications to some of your recipes, and you're good to go. The tips in this post are here to help you improve a recipe into one that is healthier and way easier to bolus for.
