Ep. 12: Why Your Blood Sugars Are Still High Even Though You're Eating "Healthy"

You're eating vegetables. You've cut back on carbs. You're trying to avoid sugar. You're choosing "healthy" foods.

So why are your blood sugars still high?

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do for your diabetes but your numbers aren't reflecting your effort, this episode is for you.

In Episode 12 of Simplifying Diabetes, we're talking about why eating healthy isn't always the same thing as having a strategic approach to blood sugar management.

I'll break down some of the common mistakes I see, including:

Putting too much emphasis on cutting carbohydrates

Not getting enough fiber, fruits, and vegetables

Starting the day with a breakfast that isn't satisfying or protein-rich

Choosing more refined/simple carbohydrates without considering the bigger picture of the meal

Waiting until you're starving to decide what to eat

Overlooking hydration

Making thousands of food decisions without having a plan to make those decisions easier
