Spring into Health: Glucose Monitoring & Nutrition Tips

One of the resolutions to consider in spring is if you are not currently monitoring your blood glucose regularly is to start monitoring it at least once a day and vary those testing times. So test it before meals or two hours after the start of a meal to see how your meal has impacted your glucose. If you are someone that requires insulin for your diabetes management, then you wanna test your blood sugar before meals or find out from your healthcare provider if you are eligible to get a glucose sensor to help you monitor your glucose levels. Health and nutrition goals could be things like increasing your physical activity because it's getting nicer outside. Maybe in the winter you were doing more indoor exercise, so try to get outside if you like the fresh air. Other goals you may have would be to do some socializing with friends over meals. And perhaps part of that would be that you're going to cook some nutritious foods for you and your friends and have them over to try those dishes. We always do better when we have the support of our community. So that's something you can try in the spring.
