    Real Glucose Numbers When Sick and Why You Shouldn't Freak Out

    In this episode (ep 6), I’m sharing what happened when I got sick right in the middle of making great progress with my health—and why I didn’t let a spike in my glucose levels send me into a shame spiral. #glucoselevels #healthjourney #glucosecontrol My glucose averages had dropped into the 80s (from the low 100s!) thanks to a small but powerful walking habit. I was even planning for a hiking trip! But then I caught a cold—possibly from travel—and it completely disrupted my energy, my sleep, and my data.Here’s what I did instead of panicking, why your glucose levels often rise during illness, and how my WHOA habit helped shift my mindset from blame to self-compassion. Plus, I’ll talk about what helped me get back on track after 3 tough weeks.💡 Whether you’re using a CGM, tracking sleep, or just starting to pay attention to your health, this episode will help you feel less discouraged when setbacks happen—and show you how small habits still matter.⸻🔗 Links + Resources Mentioned:My Oura Ring (affiliate)Stelo (by Dexcom)📋 Download my free health habit tracker:➡️ https://justeffie.com/habit-trackerSee how I log my sleep, mood, movement, and glucose levels week by week.⸻✂️ Episode Highlights:00:00 Why my glucose progress reversed after getting sick04:00 The role of sleep, stress, and recovery in blood sugar management07:00 My WHOA habit to stop negative self-talk10:00 How I slowly got back to movement and low-carb eating13:00 Why health data is just feedback—not failure15:00 Encouragement to keep tracking, even when things go off track⸻🧠 Key Quote:“Your glucose spiking when you’re sick isn’t failure.
