BLOOD GLUCOSE: PART I
While insulin resistance can be a precursor to pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, it's a distinct condition. Insulin resistance happens when your cells become less sensitive to insulin, but your body can still produce enough to keep blood sugar levels within a healthy range. Pre-diabetes is the next stage, where your body can no longer keep up, and blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. The final stage is type 2 diabetes, where blood sugar levels are consistently high. In the case of pre-diabetes and type-2 diabetes, your doctor will prescribe a from of insulin, a GLP-1 or GIP medication.
Taking proactive steps NOW can help you prevent this progression.

PORTIONS.
A portion refers to the amount of food that you eat in one meal or the size of a particular macronutrient/component in a meal.
Having an idea of what your plate should look like is essential for stable blood sugar levels, satiety, weight maintenance, weight loss, or muscle hypertrophy.

At Creative Nutrition, we help our clients describe and track their portions using any one of the following methods:
1. Plate Portions - Easy to apply & the most flexible of the three methods. This is the least accurate method in terms of controlling the overall size of a meal.

2. Hand Portion guide - Easy to apply and sets the size of your food portions according to the size of your fist, palm, thumb & cupped handful.

3. Macronutrient tracking - The most accurate, but also the most time-consuming to implement & the least flexible. Requires dietary guidance from a nutrition specialist.

With us, you will be empowered with the knowledge and tools you need to make informed food choices. We offer personalised guidance on plate portions, hand measurements, and macro tracking to help you reach your specific objectives.
Invest in an individualised plan, implement the adjustments consistently, and see the results you've be waiting for.
