Welcome back to another episode of the talk. Today we are back with the ladies from Diabetes Digital,

and we are going to go through some of the hacks to balance blood sugar, whether or not they are

true, false, myths, factual, scientific, or not? That's what we're talking about today.

Can I make this real personal real quickly? Yeah. So I try to take really good care of myself because, you know, this is the advice that I'm giving to other people, so I might as well try to follow it. So I was quite chagrined to see my hemoglobin A1C creeping up.

No. So some of these things, you know, there's evidence, and then there's a lot of fluff out there.

Doesn't mean that I don't try it.

So I would love to fly through.

Yeah, let's go through these.

You know, what it would take for me to bring my blood sugar down to not get, you know, firmly into pre-diabetes and certainly not to become diabetic.

So I'm kind of asking for a friend.

Yes.

So, okay, the first thing we want to ask about, which you guys briefly mentioned on our other

episode is fiber.

Is it helpful or not helpful for balancing our blood sugar?

Very helpful.

So much research out there to support that fiber helps

to slow digestion. So sugar will enter your bloodstream more gradually. So these are foods like

vegetables, beans, whole grains, fruits, raspberries. I always plug raspberries, seven grams of fiber

per serving. Lentals. Yeah. So I have a cup every morning in my smoothie.

Lentals as well, I believe it's like 15 grams of fiber per cup, something around there.

So definitely incorporate those foods if you're not already.

Wow.
