Heidi Bond was desperate. No matter how much she cajoled or threatened her daughter, the 9-year-old refused to finish their workout.
Used to this struggle, Bond pushed harder, encouraging Breanna to complete the four-mile loop. She had already lost weight, Bond reminded her. She couldn’t give up now, or her hard work would be for nothing.
Along with exercise, your diet is the most important part of managing type 2 diabetes. If you have a sweet tooth, finding healthy desserts might seem like a challenge — but there are solutions.
“Most desserts are full of sugar and can rack up your carbohydrate allowance in one small serving,” says Lanah J. Brennan, RD, a nutrition expert and certified diabetes educator practicing in Lafayette, La. “The extra carbohydrates and fats that we consume when eating desserts can elevate your blood glucose and hinder your weight-loss attempts.”
You can manage your diabetes better with a healthy lifestyle approach. If you’ve gotten into some bad habits, it’s time to start your own personal reform movement.
