Hey all. After 8 years being pre-diabetic, my A1C is now over 7 and doctors says I’m diabetic. Looking for any tips on healthy eating. Snack foods that are low in carb in particular! I love things that are crunchy or chocolatey which obviously is an issue. Also love cheese.

Catalina Crunch has great snack foods and cookies. Have no impact on my blood sugar.
Also dark chocolate is best in moderation.

Blueberries, strawberries, cheese and nuts

Check out Virta

Think of diabetes as if you are Carb intolerant
It is a metabolic disease

Like lactose intolerant folks can’t eat dairy
Diabetics should limit carbs


Try to get your calories from protein (managed not excessive), fat (butter, ghee, olive oils etc not nut oils) use excess fats and carbs through veggies and fruits like berries etc (no apples, bananas, mangoes etc)

Im getting into swimming and I’m like OCD about my watch tracking my workout as accurate as possible (even if it’s not the most accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️). I used the open swim for the first time yesterday and one down is 25 yds but one full lap is 50 yds and regardless I don’t think it tracked my swim accurately. Is there a trick? Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha
