The Diabetes Challenge is an eight (8) week challenge created to maximize the relationship between nutrition and blood sugar. It is designed specifically for persons diagnosed with pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and for those wanting to increase their knowledge about the disease. Participants are provided a nutrition plan, exercise recommendations, and information to help them lose up to thirty (30) pounds during this eight week challenge.
The primary goal with this challenge is to improve blood glucose without the negative connotations and food deprivation associated with traditional diets. During the Diabetes Challenge, you learn to combine foods in a way that allows you to enjoy carbohydrates like bread, pasta, and desserts while keeping your blood sugar from spiking too high. You will be advised to eat at regular time intervals throughout the day to avoid extreme fluctuations in the blood sugar and to prevent the blood sugar from dropping too low.
Ultimately, the education and skills that you will attain by participating in this challenge will enable you to improve you hemoglobinA1C and decrease the risk of complications related to diabetes. Go ahead, join the challenge, and discover how to eat the foods you love while maintaining your blood sugars at goal!
