When I get a cantina bowl, I only ask for 4 ingredients : chicken, beans, raw onions and lettuce. The creams and sauces add salt & sugar.

When I do Mexican I ask for no rice and I don’t do beans either. I get extra lettuce. My big splurge with Mexican is 3 or 4 chips with salsa. I usually do fajitas with no tortillas either.

How can I lower my blood sugar when I'm too tired to exercise?

Drinking water was a good first step since dehydration can lead to higher blood sugar levels. Continue staying hydrated. For immediate help lowering blood sugar, consider:

• Eating a small protein-based snack like almonds
• Avoiding any additional carbohydrates until blood sugar stabilizes
• Using your continuous glucose monitor if you have one to track changes Even though you're tired, try to do very light movement - even just 10 minutes of gentle walking can help bring blood sugar levels down. Many DiabetesTeam members report feeling better after short walks, even when initially feeling too fatigued to move.

For future meals, consider:
• Eating smaller portion sizes
• Balancing proteins, carbs and fats
• Monitoring blood sugar regularly to avoid spikes
