Summary

We’re switching things up this week with a fun and informative Q&A episode! After wrapping our Health Equity series, we took to Instagram to gather your questions on everything from snacks and cravings to PCOS, fiber, and Ozempic—and y’all delivered. In this episode, we’re diving into blood sugar-friendly snack ideas, realistic tips for managing insulin resistance with PCOS, how to curb nighttime cravings without guilt, and affordable ways to boost fiber without overhauling your pantry.

We’re also talking about how stress and sleep impact blood sugar, what to do if you’re waking up nauseated on GLP-1 meds, and why feeling hungry soon after eating isn’t always a bad thing. Whether you’re navigating a diabetes diagnosis or just trying to feel better in your body, this episode is full of gentle, real-life tools you can actually use. And as always, it’s all shared through a weight-inclusive, culturally humble lens. Got more questions? DM us—we might just do a part two.

If you're living with diabetes or prediabetes and want personalized support from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist covered by insurance, visit diabetesdigital.co to connect with our culturally aware and weight-inclusive team.
