🎃 If you’re wondering how Halloween treats can impact your blood sugar, I did a little experiment! 🍬
I tried a “healthier” candy option (KIND bar mini’s) and kept my blood sugar fairly stable—while there are peaks, they don’t rise very much over 6 mmol/L 🙌.
How? Here’s my strategy:
1️⃣ Prepped with Protein prior to Trick or Treating.
2️⃣ Kefir & Inositol: These powerhouses help keep glucose and insulin sensitivity in check, making it easier for my body to manage the sugar load 💪. As soon as I ate four mini Kind Bars, I enjoyed a glass of kefir (my new favourite!) and a scoop of inositol in water
3️⃣ Walked for 2 hours while Trick or Treating: Movement can work wonders for glucose control, helping muscles use up that sugar more effectively 🚶♀️.
Want to see how your body reacts to foods? Testing your response to food and exercise patterns using a CGM (Continue Glucose Monitor) can give you invaluable insights into making the best choices for your health—without missing out on the treats! It’s all about STRATEGY!
