π€°π»EAT WELL π₯π₯ π₯ and do random glucose testing which you can do yourself at home with a simple finger prick
π€°π»βThe Jelly Bean Testβ Where you swap the drink out for 28 jelly beans, which provides the 50 grams of sugar required for the traditional test. Be sure to get organic, NON-GMO and naturally-colored jelly beans π
