🍒Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has changed the landscape of glucose monitoring. Firstly, it is painless and can be done effortlessly. 🍋‍ However, the real benefit is that the sensor measures numerous blood glucose values throughout the day and night. This provides you with a clear understanding of the number of high and low glucose levels you experience and how many of your blood glucose levels are within target. 🥝 The number of highs and lows we call variability, ultimately the best tool to achieve your optimal blood glucose control, and by doing this, prevent the risk of developing complications.

Should you avoid starchy vegetables?

People often told me that they have been told to avoid starchy vegetables for example carrots.

The facts are the following:
🥦 All types of vegetables are carbohydrates even a salad.
🫛They contain different amount of carbohydrates but the difference between them per portion, is not that significant that you need to avoid them.
🥒 They are all high in fiber, that prevents sudden high rises in blood glucose levels.
🍠A variety of colorful veggies provides many phytonutrients and will contribute 15 g for less carbohydrate to your dinner plate. So you don't have to only eat greens.
🌽Veggies with a carb content closer to grains are potato, sweet potato and corn.

I am taking the anti-obesity drugs. Why should I bother with healthy eating?
😎 Evidence based research has shown that people lose weight more effectively when adding healthy eating to their medication regime.
🤠This means that you can possibly achieve good results when taking a lower dose. In the long run, this can be cost effective.
🤓In addition it has been shown that the severity of experiencing side effects is less when people eat healthy.
😁 Lastly, establishing healthy eating habits put you in a better position to maintain the weight lost, once you have decided to stop taking the medication.
