Henry ( @A DiabetesTeam Member), who is a very experienced senior Ambassador, will share exceptionally good advice with you, when he welcomes you. Henry suffers from, and is dealing with, a vast amount of illnesses and health struggles, and he works very hard at it, all the while, helping everyone he welcomes, every single day. His mantra is never give up, never surrender and to never let the beast win, to always be in control of the beast.

My dear friend @A DiabetesTeam Member will post heartfelt devotionals for believers. She is kind, loving, encouraging, and she prays for all who need, or want prayers, while dealing with her own health struggles. Look out for her beautiful posts. 


If you are struggling with high blood sugar, please consider going back to basics. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Start a food diary to see what food might be causing your BS to be raised and which might be making you feel just so-so. 


Practice portion control. 


Eat only Diabetic friendly meals. 
 

White foods, sugar, white bread, pizza, pasta, white potatoes and so on will elevate your BS and you will feel unwell. 
 

Slowly cut carbs. 


If you don’t have kidney problems, hydrate well. 
 

If overweight, you will need to lose. 
 

If you are not exercising, start by taking short walks and then extending them, little by little. 
 


If you constantly feel under par, you should consider making an appointment to see your Health Care Professional, as you might need a reassessment of your meds.

You need to keep your BS stabilised to stop highs and low which will lead to cumulative damage. 🤗

Apologies if I’ve already welcomed you.
