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

    Send us 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.

    When You’re Diagnosed With Diabetes and Don’t Know What Comes Next

    Send us a text Have you ever been sent home from the ER with dangerously high blood sugar… and no clear plan? In this episode of The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle Podcast, Oscar Camejo breaks down a real-world situation many newly diagnosed diabetics experience—being stabilized in the hospital, but leaving without clear guidance on what comes next. Oscar explains why blood sugar can remain dangerously high after an ER visit, why the question “What should I do to get my numbers down?” often comes first, and what actually helps the body begin healing over time. You’ll also hear Oscar share his own journey—from being hospitalized with blood sugar over 400 mg/dL to recording this episode with a fasting blood sugar of 78 mg/dL—and how losing excess weight, changing his diet, and staying consistent with exercise made the difference. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why emergency rooms stabilize blood sugar but rarely provide a long-term roadmapWhat dangerously high blood sugar readings can mean after dischargeWhy food alone doesn’t “bring numbers down” in a crisisHow losing just 10–15% of body weight can significantly improve blood sugar and overall healthWhat research shows about weight loss and long-term type 2 diabetes improvementWhy lifestyle change works gradually—not overnightEncouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed, confused, or alone after diagnosisIf you’ve ever felt scared by your numbers, frustrated by a lack of direction, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you slow down, gain clarity, and focus on what truly matters. And be sure to tune in to the next episode, where Oscar dives deeper into foods to eat versus foods to avoid—and why managing diabetes doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming.
