    This will make you angry at diabetes also

    Send a text Type 2 diabetes is affecting people far beyond blood sugar numbers. It’s fear, frustration, pain, and many people trying to carry it alone. In this video, I respond to an anonymous post from a diabetes support group member that hit hard. The person describes blood sugar spikes, burning feet at night, sciatica pain that limits movement, fear of neuropathy, and fear of being judged for asking for help. I also share a bit of my own experience with type 2 diabetes, and I speak directly to the bigger issue: too many people feel like they don’t have real support. My goal is to encourage you, remind you that you’re not alone, and reaffirm my commitment to keep raising awareness about this global epidemic. If you’ve been struggling in silence, hear me clearly. You are not weak. You are not a burden. And you can take your next step.

    What You're Drinking Could Be the Problem With Your Diabetes Numbers

    Send a text If you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and you’re frustrated that your A1C is still high—or that losing weight feels harder than it should—this episode may help explain why. In this episode of The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle Podcast, I break down one of the most overlooked lifestyle habits that quietly contributes to weight gain, insulin resistance, and blood sugar instability: what you’re drinking. Many people focus on food but rarely examine their daily beverages. Sweet tea, juice, sports drinks, coffee drinks, and even “healthy” smoothies can contain significant amounts of sugar, making blood sugar harder to manage and weight loss more difficult—whether you have diabetes or not. I also share a personal story from early in my health journey that completely changed how I read nutrition labels and view sugar, especially in drinks. From there, I explain how sugary beverages impact blood sugar and how to make realistic, sustainable swaps without feeling deprived. This episode is part of an ongoing series focused on the everyday lifestyle behaviors that contribute to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes—and how to start making simple changes that actually stick. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why sugary drinks impact blood sugar differently than solid foodHow liquid calories can slow weight lossCommon beverages that quietly spike blood sugarHow to spot added sugars on nutrition labelsSimple drink swaps you can start today Learn more about the podcast and access additional resources at https://www.beatingdiabeteslifestyle.com Support the show Download FREE resources to help you stay focused and consistent at BeatingDiabetesLifestyle.com _____________________ Connect With Me To submit a question or join my mailing list, use the information below to connect with me.
