Give your body what it needs.

We're in this together. I'm here to encourage you, and also to push you. Use the discipline you already have and maximize the change.

Give your body what it needs. I am fully supportive of basic supplements. I personally use these products. If you don't already have them, get them.

The goal is a better relationship with food. Use your ICR, your insulin-to-carb ratio, to bolus correctly for the foods you eat. Learn which foods move your blood sugar the most, and how to prepare for the meal.

Sleep is your friend. It helps you recover, and it moves blood glucose. Low stress, plenty of rest, and be ready for the next day. As diabetics, we don't get breaks. This is a full-time job with no paid vacation. Overtime is part of the schedule we keep with ourselves.

Be mindful of what else moves blood sugar: stress, illness, the dawn effect, high-intensity exercise, caffeine, dehydration, medication, and peptides.

I also support truth. Be honest with yourself. You don't "need" it. Stop lying to yourself and making excuses. Should you eat it if you don't know how it will affect your blood sugar?

Habits are formed by what we do and what we don't do. Train better habits, and cut the ones that no longer serve you.

Routine is your friend. Wake up at the same time. Work out at the same time. Count your carbs. Keep a close eye on your blood sugar. Find your groove and let's get after it.
