I just gained exactly 0.0 lbs after a great family vacation! What a relief - back in the routine now. I will beat #prediabetes and high cholesterol. 💪 7 days left till my 3 month blood test!
I remember a patient, let’s call him John, who came in a while back. He was just feeling… off. More tired than usual, always thirsty, and making extra trips to the bathroom, even at night. #bloodsugar #GestationalDiabetes #insulin #prediabetes #type1diabetes #type2diabetes

'Nieuw onderzoek van De Maastricht Studie: prediabetes vergroot het risico op hart- en vaatziekten'
"Diabetes type 2 is een sluipmoordenaar. De ziekte ontwikkelt zich geleidelijk waarbij je bloedsuikerwaarden jarenlang ongemerkt steeds hoger worden"
"Minstens 1,4 miljoen mensen in Nederland hebben prediabetes. “Vaak zonder dat ze dit zelf in de gaten hebben, want de klachten zijn vaag”"
"Met een gezonde leefstijl zoals veel bewegen, gezond eten en weinig stress kan je dat risico zoveel mogelijk verkleinen."
"Check je risico op diabetes type 2 met de Diabetes Risicotest."
I am now down 17lbs from 250, to 233 - in just 9 weeks! I WILL BEAT #prediabetes and high lipidemia/cholesterol. 💪 🏋️

Just hit my lowest all-time weight today, for this push. 237 lbs. LET’S GOOOOOO 
#prediabetes
Breakfast of champions. 💪
I’ve been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for the last week or so, and one of the things I’ve discovered is that Cheddars, those tasty roundels of cheesy deliciousness, massively spike my blood sugars. This is the most disappointing thing I have ever learned.

Good morning from #Pasadena. Only 7°c (43°F) atm but the sun is out and we’re expecting a high of 23°c (73°F) so as perfect as it gets except we’re hoping for rain.
#MosesTheServiceDog is not a morning dog but he’s still waiting to make sure I don’t leave for a walk without him. Dog park closed Tuesdays so it’s a walk this morning then some veg shopping for my new beat the #PreDiabetes diet!! 👍🏻
Then maybe take the truck in for tires so I can get supplies for the garden. Had a flat for which I put on three spare yesterday. I don’t want to travel anywhere without a spare.
Then maybe a little gardening… 🧑🌾
Happy Tuesday!
Snack Smart! 🍏
When hunger strikes, reach for healthier snacks like unsalted nuts, fruits, or yogurt instead of sugary treats. This can help manage your weight and reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
Tip: Prepare healthy snacks in advance so you’re not tempted by unhealthy options!

Get Moving! 🏃♂️
Regular physical activity can enhance insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week—activities like walking, dancing, or cycling can make a big difference!

Wearing a #ContinuousGlucoseMonitor aka #CGM for the last 10 days has been a true adventure and realization that #Diabetes is a very complicated condition. I “only” have #PreDiabetes or so I’m told but just preventing my glucose spikes & lows has been SO challenging.
When I first saw the spikes I was shocked. But cutting carbs that were causing them proved to be quite complicated. And then as my glucose seem to level off, I didn’t feel so good and even went into arrhythmia yesterday which is rather rare for me.
I also discovered that there could be many reasons why this occurs. I am so happy that I am booked to see an endocrinologist even though it’s only in January. But now I’m also trying to move the appointment sooner.
I bet many non-diabetics like me have an overly simplistic view of this condition for which there can be, it sounds like, many causes.
I thought eating a #HeartHealthy diet was challenging but I think I’m about to discover something even more tricky.
I’m trying to stay calm but I’ll admit it hasn’t been easy.
Regarding my pre-diabetes I feel that being told to eat less bread and pasta was not useful advice. There seem to be an assumption I was not eating well.
Fortunately I have a referral to have this looked into. I cannot wait.
🥜 Managing prediabetes? Try pistachios, almonds, walnuts, and cashews! 🌰 These nuts are great for blood sugar control, with pistachios offering a low glycemic index and nutrients to enhance insulin sensitivity. 💪 #HealthyEating #Prediabetes #BloodSugarControl https://www.shefinds.com/collections/best-nuts-pre-diabetes/
