Diabetes Care and Management.

Your first meal of the day (breakfast), significantly shapes your blood sugar response throughout the day.

Aim for foods with "after meal effect".

These are foods with soluble fiber such as lentils, beans, chickpeas, whole oats; high fiber vegetables such as leafy vegetables; high protein foods like eggs, fish; and healthy fats.

These high-fiber low glycemic index foods not only keep your blood sugar level stable at the time- it also affects your next meal blood sugar level, keeping your sugar level steady and balanced throughout the day and night.

Keep in mind that your day-to-day blood sugar level is what determines your long-term diabetes journey-
Getting better or worse is a function of your daily actions.

Live healthier, live better.

Don't eat this! Don't eat that! What should I be eating?

This is a common question that diabetics ask, especially when they're newly diagnosed.

If you're diagnosed with diabetes, what you eat and don't eat is super-duper important because diabetes is a metabolic disease, therefore what you eat and drink is of topmost consideration.

However, you don't need to get agitated or anxious over food.
You don't meed to import special foods for diabetes.

Most of the things you already have around you are good enough. You only need to know how to cook them, how to combine them and the portions-- in order to achieve balanced and stable blood sugar.

As well as set yourself on the path of reversal for people with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes Care and Management.

You are aware that protein helps you keep your blood sugar stable, no spikes and high rise in blood sugar after eating protein foods.

But are you aware that all proteins are not equal when it comes to long-term diabetes care and management?

For instance, chicken nuggets made with floor and other ingredients, marinated in oil and fried in deep oil is not same as skinless chicken that has been cooked, steamed, air-fried or roasted..

The chicken nugget may not raise by your blood sugar at that moment but it promotes inflammation and worsens insulin resistance which is behind type 2 diabetes which basically means diabetes getting worse down the road.

On the other hand, cooked, steamed, air-fried chicken... keeps blood sugar stable and also helps in restoring insulin sensitivity, reversing insulin resistance and even helps in the process of getting you to tolerate more carbohydrate foods without experiencing blood sugar spikes, this means better diabetes care and better health down the road and most importantly helps prevent worsening of diabetes and complications.

The key message here is that even foods that quality as diabetes-friendly foods may not be as friendly as you think.
The nature of the food and method of preparation is very important.

Some medicines and substances can be risky or dāngerous when used together.

These medicines need extra care and requires that you seek advice from your professional medical healthcare provider before combining them.

Here are a few examples 👇👇

Does drinking water before your fasting blood sugar test affect your test result?
The simple answer is 'no'.

Plain clean water cannot raise blood sugar because it has no calories, no sugar
no carbohydrate.

But if there's any residues or remnants of sugar in the cup or the water is contaminated or has lemon, lime or anything...
it can affect the test result.

Water is very important for people with diabetes, especially when blood sugar is high. Water helps flush out excess sugar in the blood through the kidney.

Drink water often, don't allow yourself become dehydrated/thirsty. When you're dehydrated, your blood volume reduces, this makes your blood more concentrated and less volume for the sugar in bloodstream. This can raise your blood sugar level.

However, it is best to do this test in a full fasting state: no water, no nothing- because there's a possibility the cup or water might contain things you're not aware of.

Is fear and pain from pricking your finger stopping you from monitoring and tracking your blood sugar level?

Normally, you're not supposed to feel any serious pain when you prick your finger during testing, because the niddle (lancet) is not supposed to go deep, it's meant to be just a touch that will make you feel some sensation but not serious pain.

If you're feeling serious pain- it might be that you're doing it wrong, could be that circulation and blood flow to your fingers is poor, could be that your skin on the figer is tough and hard...,

What can you do to get blööd easily without feeling pain during the prick and after?? (Some people continue to feel pain hours after the test).

💥 Wash your hands with warm water.
💥 Rub and squeeze your fingers a little as you wash it ( even if you're washing with cold water).

These will increase pressure and blood flow in your hands and fingers, so that little prick can give you adequate blööd for test without having to prick deep or prick several times before blööd comes out.

Share this with someone who might need this information.

You Can't Improve What You Don't Measure.

Are you tracking your blood sugar?

As a person with diabetes or your loved ones have diabetes, tracking your blood sugar is very important.

Measuring your blood sugar helps you know how much sugar (glucose) is in your blood.

Knowing your blood sugar levels helps you manage diabetes and reduce the risk of serous complications, now and in the future.

The higher your blood sugar levels are, and the longer they are high for- the more at risk you are.

You can measure your blood sugar by:
--Tracking your Fasting Blood Sugar
--Checking your A1c level
--Checking your Postprandial blood sugar

These are different tests that play different roles in diabetes care and management- We will break them down individually in another post.

Live healthier, live better.
