DIABETES—Now What? “The Real-World Guide.”

Fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar, and A1C are the three numbers that create the most stress—and I get it. But the goal isn’t to chase “perfect” readings. The goal is to understand your blood sugar patterns and improve your blood sugar trends over time.

A simple way to think about it:
• Fasting shows what’s happening overnight
• Post-meal shows how your body handled that meal
• A1C shows your bigger picture over the past couple months

When you look at patterns, you can make small adjustments that actually stick–without feeling like you’re failing every time a number surprises you.

DIABESTES—Now What? “The Real-World Guide”
Newly diagnosed and confused?

Newly diagnosed diabetes can feel overwhelming—especially the day-to-day stuff: what to eat, what to watch, and what actually matters first.

Here’s what I want you to know: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out all at once. Start small, learn your patterns, and build a simple routine you can repeat. That’s how confidence grows.

That’s exactly why I wrote my book—real-life guidance in plain language, so you have a clear next step instead of information overload.

My Rest Day

Ever notice how one-off day can turn into two or three? That’s usually not a willpower problem—it’s just life. A diabetes reset day is my simple way to hit pause, calm things down, and get back to basics without going extreme.

The point isn’t to make up for anything. The point is to restart your healthy habits:
• Water first to support hydration and blood sugar.
• Steady meals (protein + fiber) to avoid the crash-and-crave cycle.
• A couple short walks because walking for blood sugar helps your body use glucose better.

Keep it simple, repeatable, and kind to yourself. Trends improve when your routine becomes easier to stick with.

BREAKFAST & BLOOD SUGAR

Breakfast for blood sugar doesn’t need to be fancy. If mornings are tough, try this simple “steady plate” idea: start with protein and fiber first, then add carbs in a reasonable portion.

Quick examples (keep it simple):

• Protein: eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey sausage
• Fiber: berries, spinach, chia/flax, avocado
• Carbs (portion): 1 slice toast, small bowl oatmeal, 1 piece fruit

This is about building healthy habits you can repeat—so your steady morning routine gets easier over time.

EDUCATIION • NUTRITION•EXERCISE • CONSISTENCY

Diabetes education doesn’t have to be complicated. My wellness coaching approach stays focused on four things that drive better blood sugar trends over time: Education, Nutrition, Exercise, and Consistency.

When you strengthen those 4 areas, results usually improve because you’re building healthy habits you can actually repeat in real life—not just “trying harder” for a day or two.

–Sleep + Blood Sugar–

Sleep and blood sugar are connected more than most people realize. When sleep is off, blood sugar patterns often get harder to manage the next day—even if you didn’t change what you ate.

My simple goal (keep it realistic):
• Same bedtime most nights
• No heavy snacks late
• Keep mornings consistent (same wake-up window, hydration, and a steady breakfast routine)

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about giving your body a steady rhythm so your healthy habits have a better chance to work.

My new book covers this and many more topic you can use. Grab a copy by clicking the link below:

BLOOD SUGAR PATTERNS!

Diabetes education gets easier when you focus on blood sugar patterns and build a repeatable routine you can stick with.

A lot of people start by trying to be perfect with food—and when life gets busy, that “perfect plan” falls apart. A better first move is to notice your patterns: what happens after your usual breakfast, after dinner, on stressful days, or after a night of poor sleep.

Then choose 1–2 healthy habits you can repeat no matter what (like a short walk after one meal, a higher-protein breakfast, or cutting liquid carbs). That’s how you create steady progress over time.

That’s what my book, DIABETES—Now What? “The Real-World Guide”is built for. Get it here:https://www.diabetespluswithdave.com/diabetes-book

The One Change Challenge!

Here’s the challenge: pick ONE change you can repeat for the next 7 days. Not a full lifestyle overhaul. Just one simple win you can actually stick with.

Choose one:
* Walk after one meal
* Cut liquid carbs (soda/juice/sweetened coffee drinks)
* Add protein at breakfast
Reply with what you’re choosing, and I’ll help you keep it realistic.

DIABETES—Now What? “The Real-World Guide.”

You’re not failing — you’re learning.

Diabetes isn’t a “pass/fail” test. It’s feedback.
If a meal, a snack, stress, or a weird day throws things off, it doesn’t mean you blew it. It means you found a clue about what your body does (and doesn’t) respond well to.

Keep the next step simple:

* Notice what happened
* Make one small adjustment
* Move on without beating yourself up

DIABETES—Now What? “The Real-World Guide”

Food labels can feel confusing, so I keep it simple and check the same things in the same order every time.

My simple order:

1. Total carbs
2. Total Fiber
3. Total Sugars
4. Ingredients
5. Serving Size
6. Total Calories

This takes the guesswork out of shopping and helps you make better choices faster—without getting overwhelmed by all the extra numbers.

DIABETES—Now What? — “The Real World Guide”

Most people think they need a “big workout” to make a difference in your glucose numbers.

You don’t.

If you’ve been sitting a while, or you just ate, a short walk can be one of the easiest ways to support better glucose trends and overall health. Keep it simple, keep it doable, and let consistency do the heavy lifting.

If you try this today, comment “WALK” and let me know when you did it (after a meal, mid-day, or evening).
