What is the best advice you have received that has made a difference in your blood sugar numbers? For me, the notion of "if you're not testing, you're guessing" rules how I approach diabetes. If you don't know, you're guessing What has helped you?

If you're not testing your blood sugar—even as a prediabetic—you're guessing. And when you guess, you stay stuck. You're told to “eat better,” “move more,” “manage stress.”But how do you know if any of it’s working? You can’t manage what you don’t measure. 🔎 A spike after a “healthy” meal?😴 A crash after poor sleep?😤 A stress-induced rise with no food in sight?These are the patterns that lead to full-blown diabetes—and most people never see them coming. 📊 Your glucose monitor is your roadmap.Start using it.

Fun times with friends is good for the soul. Life is meant to be lived and joy and community helps control blood sugar

Your blood sugar doesn’t just respond to food — it responds to everything in your day.👉 Sleep.👉 Stress.👉 Movement. Here’s my challenge for you today: 🔹 Rate your last night’s sleep on a scale of 1–10 (1 = awful, 10 = best night ever).🔹 Share your fasting blood sugar this morning (if you checked). Do you notice a connection? 👀 Drop your numbers below — you might be surprised at how much sleep and stress show up in your blood sugar. Accountability works..... Mine (type 1) was 107

Diabetes isn’t just about numbers — it impacts daily life in so many ways. For some people, it’s the food restrictions… for others, it’s the constant energy swings, or even the fear of complications. 👉 I’d love to hear from you: what’s the hardest part of living with diabetes for YOU? There’s no wrong answer — and you’ll probably find you’re not alone. That is the joy of a community. We are all dealing with different aspects of the same disease. For me, as a type 1, it is not being able to be "normal". I watch those around me just eat, or exercise, or even go on vacation without second thought. To do anything in life, I have multiple decisions that come before the simple decision of "what's for dinner?". It can be exhausting!!!!
