It's World Diabetes Day! 💙 🌎
Recognizing everyone living with diabetes: you are stronger than you know.
One of the best ways to monitor your diabetes is with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)—it can alert you to highs and lows and offer real‑time trends so you can act early. Ask your care team about fit and coverage; if CGM isn’t right for you, fingerstick meters still work.
Science‑backed habits that help:
• Plate method: ½ veggies, ¼ lean protein, ¼ high‑fiber carbs
• Move daily: aim for ~150 min/week + 2 days of strength; even a 10‑min walk after meals supports post‑meal glucose
• Hydrate smart: water or unsweetened tea instead of sugary drinks
• Sleep & stress: 7–9 hours + a few slow breaths when stress spikes
• Be prepared: carry fast‑acting carbs if you’re at risk of lows; take meds as prescribed
• Check in: keep up with A1C, eye, and foot exams
Progress, not perfection. Save to revisit & share to support someone today. đź’™
