Diabetes Meal Plans
Low Carb Meal Planning for Type 2 Diabetes & Prediabetes
Managing type 2 diabetes or prediabetes is about more than monitoring your blood sugar—it’s about understanding your diabetes, the potential risks and complications, and making lifestyle changes that support your overall health and well-being.
Every choice you make, from how you move your body to how you manage stress, can have a profound impact on your blood sugar levels and long-term health.
In this section, we cover everything you need to know about understanding and managing blood sugar, from morning glucose levels to post-meal numbers, insulin resistance, and everything in between.
But we don't stop there. You’ll also discover evidence-based info on metabolic health and how to rebalance hormones, tips to lower triglycerides and cholesterol, reduce risk of diabetes complications and discover the broader lifestyle changes that can support not just your blood sugar, but your heart, mind, and body.
We explore how different aspects of your lifestyle, like your physical activity, sleep quality, and stress levels, can impact your blood sugar control and overall well-being. It’s not just about cutting carbs or counting calories; it’s about creating a balanced life that supports better health.
Heart Health and Diabetes: Discover how to protect your heart health by managing blood pressure, inflammation, and cholesterol, which are all crucial for people with diabetes. You’ll find tips on how to incorporate heart-friendly habits, such as the best exercises and foods for keeping your cardiovascular system strong.
The Impact of Movement: Learn why regular physical activity is a game-changer for managing blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity. From resistance training to yoga and daily walking, we offer guidance on how to incorporate more movement into your life, even if you’re just starting out.
Stress Management and Mental Well-being: It’s no secret that living with diabetes can be stressful, and stress itself can impact your blood sugar levels. We share effective stress-reduction techniques, from mindfulness practices to simple breathing exercises, to help you stay calm, balanced, and in control.
But it’s not just about blood sugar and insulin resistance. This section delves into other essential health topics like:
