A little bit about my blood sugar journey... I was told I was insulin resistant in 2017 after a glucose tolerance test my reproductive endocrinologist ordered for me when I was having trouble getting pregnant. And after conceiving, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes very early on. Since then, I've been diligently learning about blood sugar dysregulation and gathering data through constant finger pricks and CGM experiments since I am now at greater risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes in the future. I've learned A LOT about what works and doesn't work for my body, and how my body responds to different foods. I hope this video helps you on your path to a healthier lifestyle!

I've been taking berberine recently and it's been very good. A few days ago i checked my blood sugar after eating Spaghetti and it was at 85mg/dl which is amazing for me. Usually it would be around 120-130.

@thegoodenoughmama 6 месяцев назад

Wow, those are amazing results! I keep meaning to check out berberine but my body doesn't always do well with new supplements so I've been holding off.

@N330AA 6 месяцев назад

@@thegoodenoughmama It can cause digestive issue for some so it's recommended to titrate, but it wasn't too bad for me and that has passed now. I felt more energised at the gym too. Maybe you could try it for some time and do a video to compare your responses. The only thing we don't know about Berberine, nor anyone knows, is the long term impact. But for now i'm going to stick with it. I wasn't pre-diabetic by i was seeing some post-prandial numbers that i wasn't comfortable with, but now i am very happy with them.

@N330AA 6 месяцев назад

@@User-h3j3w I'm currently using Natural Factors, but i've used Double Wood before too and it seemed good too. Any respectable brand is fine i'd imagine, i don't think it's a particularly expensive thing to produce.

I have been tracking blood sugars (finger prick) since 2019 using my diary and the CGM data is stored in my PC. I have been in remission for 2 years 2 months now!

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

Congrats!!

@dcluizi3088 6 месяцев назад

Be careful with the CGM’s. I had to take mine off because it was giving me false readings and I was almost having a nervous breakdown. I started testing with a regular meter and it was way off like 30/40 points .

@mellocello187 6 месяцев назад

Was the CGM showing readings that were too high, or too low?

@dcluizi3088 6 месяцев назад

@@mellocello187 way too high. Normally you’ll see 10/12 number difference. But I was seeing like 40 to 50. my normal glucose in the morning was in the 118 range but I was coming up in the 150s 160s on the CGM. I tried it with two different sensors, and it was doing the same thing I had to Libre 2 .

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your experience. I've had the opposite experience where the CGMs were reading lower than my glucose meter. But I like to use it to see overall trends in my blood sugar.

Have you tried the vinegar hack? Also, if you only eat rice, pasta etc. the next day after refrigerating and warming. It seems to have a lower impact on my blood sugar

@thegoodenoughmama 6 месяцев назад

I've tried the vinegar hack! See my video here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZqfXq-Qab74.html

@Bee-of5xz 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Good Enough Mama! Did you get the prescription from your PCP for the CGM?

@thegoodenoughmama 6 месяцев назад

Actually, part of the Veri process is that they do the heavy lifting to get you approved for the CGM as long as you don't have type 1 or type 2 diabetes!

Hi, I am a regular visitor to tour channel . Please do a test on whether stevia sweetener spikes blood sugar also. Thank you and regards.

@AZ-zr5oo 6 месяцев назад

Firstly, thank you for the great educational videos. I was wondering if you'd ever tested fresh carbs vs chilled carbs. You see lots of people saying that chilling carbs changes the molecular structure, leading to lower insulin spikes. Do you think there's any truth to this, and if so, is the change significant?

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

I haven't found the resistant starch theory to work for my body. But I plan to test it officially to see what my body does!

Was wondering if you ever tried the Chiobani zero sugar yogurt line and it's effect on your glucose levels...

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

I have tried it and from what I remember, my blood sugar did fine with it. But I didn't prefer the taste of it.

@gwpainter4606 6 месяцев назад

Love watching your videos! I am pre-diabetic w/ doctor prescribed cgm. May have to try the veri app, looks so much better than abbott. Question: have you checked your insulin resistance recently? Was wondering if you've improved that over time as you've made diet/lifestyle changes.

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

The veri app is paired with the Abbott CGM! But the veri app interprets your CGM data and gives you more info about your health! And I recently went to my PCP for my annual and got bloodwork done so you can see it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--js1O_O_Kuc.html

@ermaldhasmadhi3842 5 месяцев назад

hi there. congrats for your videos. Im a prediabetic but not sure if im insulin resistant. I just wanted to know how to tell if i am insulin res instant or not. how to calculate it. I got a fasting insulin of 7 and fasting blood glucose of 93. am i insulin rsistant? thnx in advance

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

The way I found out was through a 3 hour glucose tolerance test and corresponding insulin assay test. In my experience, testing just fasting glucose and fasting insulin is not sufficient. Often, those numbers come back completely normal for me. But it was the glucose tolerance test and insulin assay test that showed truly what my body was doing behind the scenes. Hope that helps!

@ermaldhasmadhi3842 3 месяца назад

Ok thnx a lot. Keep it up

My father uses the same thing actually he's a type 1 diabetic.

@thegoodenoughmama 6 месяцев назад

Glad the continuous glucose monitor works for him! The Veri app specifically is meant for non-diabetics but the actual CGM is widely used to monitor type 1 and type 2 diabetes!

1:50 not a store-bought sourdough bread Have you tested a difference in blood sugar spike between bakery sourdoughs and store-bought ones? I usually get store-bought ones so I'm kinda curious 😅

@thegoodenoughmama 5 месяцев назад

I haven't tested it but that's a great suggestion. My guess is that my blood sugar would not fair as well with store-bought :(
