1. BELIEVE

Believe in the possibility. And believe that you can do it. This is critical. Henry Ford said “whether you believe you can or you can’t you’re right”. When my doctor diagnosed me she told me that Diabetes was chronic and progressive. She then had me meet with the diabetes care nurse. I was shown how to use an insulin pen, glucose meter and given a bag of supplies. I was weighed and measured, told to follow the Canada Food Guide and exercise. It was overwhelming. It felt hopeless. As we walked back to the car my husband said “don’t worry in a year from now this will all be over”.

It was clear he wasn’t listening or he was crazy. As it turns out he wasn’t so crazy after all. But it was a while before I believed it too. I heard “stories” about people reversing diabetes, but never saw a face or heard a specific name. So belief didn’t come easy.

2. LEARN.

Educate yourself, knowledge is the key. Find out about super foods, supplements & spices that can help lower your blood sugar. Gather the equipment, tools and apps that are most helpful. There are different diet principles and methods that work for different people, discover the best one for you. Listen to experts, watch their you tubes, read their books, feel which ones make sense to you. Figure out how to manage stress. Assemble your team, learn who you need to help you. Learn how to become your own champion.

3. ORGANIZE

Organization is the ultimate key. Having everything at your fingertips and removing obstacles is so important. Meal planning and prepping ahead will help you stay on track, being hungry can easily derail your best intentions. Grocery shop with a list based on your menu plan. Whether you live alone or have 8 hungry kids, everyone will benefit from healthier choices and a healthier you.
