Do your best to cut out sugar.

If you have Type 2 Diabetes – if you can afford it use a constant glucose monitor.

We are all human, if you go back to eating things that make your sugar go up, don’t beat yourself up. Use it as an opportunity to learn what triggered you to eat it and what could you do differently?
