MY TOP 3 TIPS

FOR DIABETICS AND


PRE-DIABETICS
TO NATURALLY IMPROVE
FASTING BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS
BEYOND MEDICATIONS
Written by Debbie Meriney, MN, MSN

WELCOME,
I'm Debbie.
I’m so glad you requested the Fix your Fasting Sugar guide.

See, before I became a health coach and before I created The Steady Sugar Program that
helps pre-diabetics and diabetics balance blood sugar naturally, reducing or eliminating
the need for medication, I spent so much time trying different things that either didn’t
work at all or only worked for a little while. I was determined to find a way to heal my body
that didn’t involve taking medication because I believe my body has the power to heal
itself if I stopped exposing it to things it didn’t need, and replaced things that were
missing that it needs to function optimally. And I was right. Your body can heal, too.

After much trial and error, I discovered that changing what I did at dinner and for the rest
of the night improved my fasting blood sugar. At first, I almost dismissed it as just another
thing that wouldn’t work BUT THEN I started to notice I had more energy, my cravings
were gone, and I was able to reduce and eventually stop my medication. I was incredibly
excited about it!

The good news is that you did a really smart thing by requesting this guide! Now you
have access to the strategies I used in Fix your Fasting Sugar.

IMPORTANT: The strategies recommended only work if you actually do them.

Fix your Fasting Sugar
TIP 1: KNOW what affects fasting blood sugar

Fasting blood sugar is affected by many things:

What you had for dinner-a high carb meal with little protein and fat usually = higher fasting
sugar; eating high carb dessert usually = even higher. Large serving sizes of carbs will raise
sugar. Be sure to eat protein and fat.

What time you ate-the later you eat, usually the higher the fasting sugar

Whether you had a snack-usually snacking before bed = higher fasting sugar

What the snack was-snacks with carbs will generally raise morning sugar

Whether you’re sick or stressed-illness and stress can cause the body to release
adrenaline and cortisol, which will raise blood sugar

Whether you exercised after dinner-taking a walk or other gentle exercise after dinner will
usually lower fasting blood sugar; vigorous exercise can raise it

The quality of your sleep-better sleep usually =better sugar

How long you slept-aim for 7-8 hours of sleep

What time you check your blood sugar in the morning-sugars will fluctuate even without
eating, based on how long it’s been since you’ve last eaten

How long you fasted since last eating-longer fast usually = lower sugar

Dawn Phenomenon-a natural rise in glucose, usually between 3:00-6:00 AM, due to the
body releasing cortisol and other hormones

TIP 2: MONITOR and CORRELATE

Check your blood sugar regularly. While you’re working on fixing your fasting sugar, be
sure to at least check it before bed and before breakfast. If you don’t already have one, you
can purchase a blood sugar meter at your local pharmacy or online. You can also use a
CGM (continuous glucose monitor). These can be obtained from your healthcare provider
or purchased online or locally.

Keep a log of your readings to plot your progress and begin to understand how different
foods and actions either positively or negatively influence the blood sugar.

Since everyone is different, it’s important that you personalize your approach and pay
special attention to how your body is responding.

Be mindful of your evening routine for the next week and use the tips to figure out what
improves your blood sugar the most.

TIP 3: SNACK wisely, if you need to snack at all

For many people, omitting snacking after dinner will lead to a lower morning blood sugar,
as it increases the length of time of your overnight fast, and also can improve the quality of
sleep since your body won’t be using energy to digest. If you’re just used to eating a snack
but it’s causing your fasting blood sugar to be high, chewing gum instead can help keep
your mouth busy without you having to eat.

In some cases, people can improve the morning blood sugar with a snack in the evening,
especially if the sugar goes lower at night and causes your body to release glucose into the
bloodstream to correct this.

If you need a snack after dinner, try one that is mostly protein and natural fat, with minimal
(if any) carbs, as this will prevent a spike in your blood sugar. Avoid most fruits and all
processed food.

Evening snack ideas:

Almonds (1 oz)
Walnuts (1 oz)
Cheese-(unprocessed), 1-2 oz
Avocado with salt and pepper
Cottage cheese-half cup
Beef (or other protein) jerky (low sugar)
Vegetables with hummus, salsa or guacamole
Deviled egg
Smoked salmon with cream cheese
Tuna on cucumber slices
Bone broth
Green tea with Ceylon cinnamon
