#ad #youtheory_partner Research has shown that curcuminoids, the beneficial compounds found in turmeric, may be associated with healthy inflammation support, a healthy immune system, healthy cholesterol levels, and healthy blood sugar levels. And may be of benefit for people who pay attention to their blood sugars alongside other strategies recommended by your care team.

But, if you’re just adding turmeric to your food, you’re likely not going to be able to absorb curcumin at the levels needed to possibly see the benefits I mentioned. Because, curcumin isn’t absorbed well during digestion. It has what we call, low bioavailability. So different supplement formulations have been created over the years to improve its bioavailability, or to increase the amount your body can absorb.

And, Youtheory’s Turmeric supplement is one of those. It supplies 2,250 mg of highly bioavailable turmeric, including their Curcumin C3 Complex® (with 95% total curcuminoids). Plus, it’s enhanced with black pepper to further boost curcuminoid absorption and bioavailability.

You can actually find it at your local Costco in the health and wellness section near the pharmacy!

Carb counting 101 and how to interpret a nutrition label… because not all carbohydrates impact blood sugar levels 👍 let me know what questions you have in the comments!!

#Ad If you’re like me, it’s important that you’re aware of the amount of carbohydrate and sugar that you consume… particularly added sugars. #NaturesWayPartner

And, there’s a few places in our diets that added sugars pop up that you may not have thought of.

1) Condiments like ketchup or salad dressings
2) Gummy dietary supplements
3) Dried and canned fruit

l was excited to learn about the new @natureswaybrands Sambucus Immune gummies that have zero added sugar and are sweetened with monk fruit and stevia extracts. In addition to elderberry extract, they also give you a significant amount of vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Zinc. Look for them at a store near you! #zerosugar #sugarfree #noaddedsugar

Easy higher fiber side dish! Air fryer okra! You can start from fresh or frozen, and each cup of cooked okra will give you roughly 5-6 g of fiber. Remember: more fiber is not only good for your gut, but it also helps promote healthy blood sugar levels after you eat, and in the long term.

As a dietitian who is living with diabetes myself, I recommend adding a creamer with some fat or protein to your morning coffee. This may be better for your blood sugars than drinking coffee alone.
Research has shown that caffeine from coffee may cause:
* Increased insulin resistance
* Decreased glucose uptake by cells from the blood stream

Because of this, some people notice a blood sugar rise after drinking coffee, even when no carbohydrate has been added to it. So, adding a creamer with fat and protein may help with this.

When looking for a coffee creamer for people with diabetes, we want to consider total carbohydrate, added sugar, protein, fat, and fiber. Ideally we want to consider:
* How much total carbohydrate is in it?
* How much added sugar is in it?
* Is there fat, fiber, and/or protein present?

10 diabetes-friendly fast food tips
1. Look up the nutritional information for menu items if you’re able to ahead of time.
2. Don’t go to a fast food restaurant when you are overly hungry. Wait for a time when you can be most in tune with your hunger and fullness cues. If you’ve skipped a meal that same day, you may not be able to listen to your body to the best of your ability.
3. Make sure you always include a protein source.
4. Look for menu items with veggies.
5. Choose dishes more likely to be higher in fiber.
6. Avoid ordering more than one item that has been fried.
7. Avoid high sugar beverages.
8. Eat slowly, and stop when you feel full.
9. Don’t size up or super size an order.
10. Don’t assume that salads are the best option. They may be lacking in protein or have more carbohydrates than you think.

Does the order you eat your food in matter?

TLDR: For people with diabetes or other blood sugar impairments, possibly. For everyone else, probably not.

3 tips for improving blood sugar kevels while you sleep:
1) do moderate exercise (walking, bike riding, etc.) in the evening
2) avoid large meals right before going to sleep
3) avoid alcohol before going to bed

As always, if any of these are new for you, make sure to chat with your doctor before making changes to your diabetes management routine 👍

#milknhoneynutrition #diabetes #bloodsugar #type1 #t1d #type1diabetes #type2 #t2d #type2diabetes #prediabetes #bloodsugarfriendly

Pairing your favorite carbohydrate foods with fat, fiber, and protein sources can help promote stable blood sugars after you eat for many people. And this is applicable for both people with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes (and prediabetes). If you have specific questions about how this applies to you, chat with your doctor or dietitian. ❤️

Part 2 of 2 👍

This morning, I stopped by the @kprc2 studio to chat about food safety post hurricane. (Segment is linked in my stories with examples of all of these tips.)

How to know if the food in your fridge or freezer is still good after a prolonged power outage… we’re 48 hours post #hurricaneberyl and at this point if you don’t have power back you need to start tossing food. In this video and the previous (part 1) I discuss what time frames and best practices to follow as well as tips for the next time we have a storm coming to prolong the time your food can stay safe in a power outage.
