Has your doctor ever said to you: "Check your fasting glucose"? So you do it and then...what do you do with that information?
Most of us just write the numbers down and then show them to our doctor. But are you having a deep conversation about these specific numbers and what you're suppose to do with them? If you aren't then you SHOULD. Make sure to listen to find out why.
All these "guidelines" that are thrown at us need to be broken down and properly interpreted depending on our health issues and not just diabetes alone.
Reducing medication and insulin shots is possible. Reversing your type 2 diabetes is possible but you have to find the right balance in order to achieve it. If you take something out of the equation you need to replace it with something else: exercise, good quality sleep and a good and nutritious diet.

SUGAR-FREE QUOTES
- "Diabetes is not getting better in this country (USA)...it is at the highest point of being terrible(...)What we've been telling everyone to do apparently is wrong, because we should see much more success than we have been".
- "Healthier does not mean more medication".
- "There needs to be a correlation between what you're doing to achieve a good fasting glucose, post meal glucose and your overall average. Your A1c."
- "The higher your A1c, the more sugar is attached to your blood".
