🌟 Managing Type 1 Diabetes for 20 Years: My Ultimate Tip! 🌟
Hey everyone! Living with Type 1 diabetes since childhood has been quite the journey. Through the ups and downs, I discovered a game-changing habit that keeps my blood sugar levels in check: intermittent fasting!
Diagnosed at nine, I’ve tried various treatments to manage my condition. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, my body doesn’t produce insulin, so I rely on daily injections. Despite this, managing the highs and lows of blood sugar isn’t always easy.
That’s where fasting comes in! By skipping breakfast and fasting from 7pm to 1pm, I’ve noticed more stable blood glucose levels without extra insulin. Just hydrating with water, sugar-free drinks, or sometimes a decaf black coffee works wonders. Breakfast used to make my blood sugars spike, causing those dreaded late-morning slumps!
Nutrition experts confirm that fasting helps some people by reducing insulin demand and improving glucose stability. However, it’s not for everyone—especially those on medication. If you’re considering fasting, always chat with a healthcare professional first!
Remember, everyone’s body responds differently. What keeps my levels steady might not be ideal for others, so find what works for you.
Stay healthy and don’t let diabetes stop you from living your best life! 💪✨
