Pre Diabetes What I Eat In a Day | Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Here's another Pre Diabetes What I Eat In a Day using my Freestyle Libre 14 day continuous glucose monitor. As someone with insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, the continuous glucose monitor has been a tool that I've used to incorporate blood sugar tests and blood sugar experiments along the way to see in real time to see how my blood sugar is reacting to the foods I eat. It has given me invaluable information about how factors like stress, sleep, and food impact my body's ability to process sugar.
A warning before you watch this video: You'll see that I strayed pretty far from my usual pre diabetes diet. While I don't currently prescribe to any specific type of diet (ie. keto, whole food plant based, paleo etc), I do try my best to be mindful of pairing carbs with fat and protein and trying my best not to have a restrictive mindset. While this way of eating has been working okay so far, this weekend I kind of lost a bit of control while celebrating my nephew's birthday. And even though the actual numbers on my CGM were not sky-high, you can see from the graphs that my blood sugar had a very hard time regulating all weekend long and that I put my body through a lot. I just wanted to give you the heads up that this is not a good representation of how I usually try to eat, but I wanted to show you anyway.
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!
