1. Prioritize Daily Post-Meal Movement
Engaging in a light 10-to-15-minute walk right after meals encourages skeletal muscle to absorb circulating glucose without relying heavily on insulin.
2. Focus on Whole Foods and Dietary Fiber
Incorporate non-starchy vegetables, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats while reducing refined flour, sugary beverages, and processed snacks.
3. Monitor Baseline Glucose Levels Regularly
Ask your primary care physician to run routine HbA1c and fasting blood glucose blood tests annually to catch metabolic shifts early.
4. Support Restful Sleep and Stress Reduction
Maintain 7 to 8 hours of quality nightly sleep and practice deep breathing or meditation to keep stress hormones like cortisol from raising blood sugar.
