You never know what life with diabetes is going to throw at you, so this is why I always recommend continuing to practice carb counting!

Let’s talk about magnesium, blood sugar levels, and whether you should be taking a supplement or not.

Fun fact: Foods that are high in magnesium also tend to be high in fiber!

Research has shown very similar findings to what we’ve seen over in the Vitamin D world…

Magnesium deficiency is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Magnesium supplementation may modestly lower both fasting blood sugar levels and post-meal blood sugars, as well as improve insulin resistance and decrease HgbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes if they are deficient.

Talk about a major red flag 🚩… if you’ve been told any of these things, it may be time to re-evaluate who you’re getting your nutrition info from.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with numerous positive health outcomes, including lower diabetes risk and easier to manage existing diabetes. These benefits are seen both with increased amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as increased variety. Don’t let inaccurate info restrict the fruits and vegetables you choose. 🍌🥕🥬

This comment gave me flashbacks to having to freehand draw out the Krebs cycle in college 🙈🙃🤓 but anyways, in this video, I discuss what alpha lipoic acid, or ALA, is and how it can possibly help people with diabetes, and whether or not you should be taking a supplement.

I know it sounds super simple, but this is the first thing I tell someone trying to improve blood sugar levels or manage diabetes through nutrition.

Don’t eat carbohydrates by themselves.

Of all of our macronutrients (carbs, fat, and protein) our bodies process and metabolize carbohydrates the quickest. This means that when carbs are eaten by themselves, your body can digest them fairly quickly, which can potentially lead to rapid rises in blood sugar… More so than we want to see sometimes.

So, we want to slow down the digestion process so that your body is given a more steady supply of energy and we are more likely to see stable, consistent blood sugars after eating. One way to slow down the digestion process is to add in macronutrients that take longer for your body to digest… This is where fat, fiber, and protein come into play.

Here’s some examples:
1) Toast: instead of eating just a plain piece of white bread you could…Add butter for fat, Swap it out for a piece of whole grain toast to add fiber, Add avocado for fat and fiber, Add an egg on top for fat and protein, Add a nut butter to add fat and some protein

2) Milk: Switch from skim milk to 2% or whole milk to add fat

3) Oatmeal: instead of eating it plain, try adding… Nuts or nut butter for fat and fiber, Fruit for fiber, Greek yogurt for protein

This was such a good question! How can sugar-free chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips have the same amount of total carbohydrate? The answer isn’t necessarily about how many carbohydrates are in there, but rather what type of carbohydrates we’re talking about.
