Did you know that even 10–15 minutes of light activity after meals can help flatten blood-sugar spikes? 🩸

A short walk, dancing while cooking, tidying up — it all counts!

(No group this week – back next Thursday!)

💙 Thank you to everyone who came along to last week’s Type 2 Together session — such a lovely, supportive group!

Just a reminder there’s no group this Thursday as I’m away in France 🇫🇷, but we’ll be back next week!

Next topic: Movement After Meals 🚶‍♀️

One of the simplest ways to support healthy blood sugars — no gym required!

Small steps, big difference 💪

🥗 Did you know… the order you eat your food matters?

Eating your meal in a certain order can have affects on the following:

✅ Reduce blood sugar spikes
✅ Keep you fuller for longer
✅ Cut down cravings later on

✨ A simple swap in food order can make a big difference.

🕡 Tip of the Week

Eating at regular times help steady blood sugar.

✅ Try not to skip meals
✅ Aim for similar times each day
✅ Even spacing = fewer spikes & dips

Small changes with meal times can make a big difference in blood sugars 💙
