Save this one!!

If you or someone you love is managing type 2 diabetes, this breaks down exactly what to put on your plate and why.

The plate breakdown: 🥦 Half your plate — non-starchy vegetables 🍗 Quarter — lean protein 🍠 Quarter — whole grains 🥑 Small amounts of healthy fat 🍓 Low-glycemic fruit — 1-2 servings daily

The four daily habits that make it all work: ✅ Eat regular meals — skipping backfires every time ✅ Drink more water than you think you need ✅ Use smaller plates for effortless portion control ✅ 30+ minutes of movement daily

The biggest mistakes I see women make:

❌ Skipping meals to lower blood sugar — it actually raises it

❌ Drinking fruit juice instead of eating whole fruit — juice strips the fiber

❌ Going low-fat instead of right-fat — healthy fat stabilizes blood sugar

I'm Becky — founder of The Aligned Diabetes Collective, a midlife woman living with diabetes, and a nurse. I created this free community specifically for women like me who are managing type 2 diabetes in midlife and tired of figuring it out alone.

We cover meal planning, blood sugar education, and the hormonal side of diabetes that nobody talks about — because managing diabetes in midlife is a completely different experience than managing it at 30.

If this resonates with you or someone you know — come find us. 💚
