Sustaining Testing, testing, testing. How to maintain a healthy A1C level for life. Howdy members of the Sugar Emily family. Congratulations on reaching on the A1C goal you set for yourself. Or you didn't reach it yet, but you know you will. And then what, right? Whatever that number may be, maybe you reached the 5%, 6%, 7%. You're happy, right? But you have worked hard, and you should congratulate yourself on a job well done. The most important question, however, is how we can keep this healthy A1C level throughout our entire lives. First thing is first. Do not deceive yourself into believing that you have recovered completely. Well, you can call it remission, you can call it diabetes reversal, but it can reverse right back at you. It's like a snappy turtle. Diabetes is not something that really vanishes into thin air. It's not like a virus. Rather, it is something that will remain a constant throughout our life. Yes, we can reverse it, we can control it, we can put it in remission, whatever you call it. However, this does not mean that we are unable to exercise some control over it and keep it under check, because if you don't, believe me, it will come right back at you. However, keeping a healthy A1C level is not always an easy job to accomplish. If you want to live a healthy life despite having diabetes, it will take some commitment, discipline, education, and a lot of hard work on your part, but the results will be well worth it. Now, let's start by gaining a grasp of what an A1C test measures actually in reality. In essence, it reveals the amount of sugar that has been clinging to your red blood cells over the course of the previous three months. This is significant since those little red cells are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout your body. They can be harmed in their capacity to do their duties effectively, can go down if they consume an excessive amount of sugar. That's true for every cell in your body, actually. But your results from the A1C test will shed light on whether or not it is necessary for you to make any alterations in order for these little fibers to carry out their duties in the manner in which they were designed to. By the way, I have some news for you. I know some of you cannot find the Sugar MD Advanced Glucose Support on our website right now, but we are bringing something much different, much newer. It is called Still Advanced Glucose Support, but we are adding a glucose defense word to it because it has a different meaning. I'll tell you later, maybe, about why we do that.

We decided to make a little modification so it's not as strong, but it actually starts working within a month instead of within a week. That's okay, right? As long as you have less side effects and it costs you less, that's what my goal is. That's why we keep improving. So wait, we have a few more weeks left and you will be happy that you waited.

Have you, for example, seen the many humorous memes and the videos on TikTok that are related to diabetes? Tekin, you're making noise over there. Who would have thought that a persistent disease like this could be turned into something so hilarious, right? I mean, in order to keep things light and humorous while still keeping a good A1C level, here are some tips for you. Laugh at your own foolishness. There are some times when we all find ourselves forgetting to take our medication or eating a few, two more carbohydrates than we should have. Tekin. That's my son, by the way. But anyway, have a good laugh while you're at it about it and resolve to do better next time rather than killing yourself, beating yourself, and feeling bad about it. Find yourself a friend. That's another thing. Like good guy. Having a friend makes everything more enjoyable. Find someone else who suffers from diabetes so that you may both hold each other accountable while also enjoying some lighthearted moments along the routine. Put your imaginative side to use in the kitchen. That's another thing you have to think about. Consuming a diet that is better for your health does not require you to give up flavor. Have fun trying out different recipes and don't take yourself too seriously. Let's review this in a nutshell. Number one, stick to your diet, diet, diet. A well-rounded diet. Nothing like ketogenic or carnivore styles of eating, which may be quite revolting unless you find the keto diet somewhat appealing. Then I have nothing to say. There will be no judgment here. In the majority of my videos on YouTube, I go on and on about different kinds of diets. Number two, use the SugarMD app. We have an app that's free to keep track of your progress. We even have a support system there. Make sure you use it and maintain your involvement in our community. For example, on our Facebook group. Number three, get some exercise. Everyone must figure out a method to move. It doesn't have to be walking or running. Even if they are experiencing joint discomfort or exhaustion. Question. Even exercises for sitting still can be found on my channel. You can just type SugarMD sitting exercises. You will find it. Number four, if you are overweight and want to lose some weight in addition to changing your diet, I would say try some weight reduction supplements such as Super Berberine or Fat Burner at our website. And also involved in those diets that help you so. Number five. If you are currently taking medicine, you should also consider taking nutritional supplements. You're aware of the locations of the most effective blood sugar lowering substances, right? Yeah. Well, you'll be astounded by how many brand new supplements of the highest possible quality we have now added to our brand. And it's on our website. So check it out. Number six. Stay in contact with your attending physician, right? So you have to see your doctor. You shouldn't assume that everything is OK. Your A1C is now down to six and you're all good and saved. And then you won't need to see your doctor ever again. Well, the most important things to focus are on are the problem prevention and early identification. Number seven. Take steps to manage your stress and your mental health. We cannot emphasize this point enough. If you are unable to control your stress, you will not be able to control your diabetes. And your A1C will keep increasing. And number eight. Maintain your connections. You will naturally forget about that if you are alone and don't think about it. Talk about it. Watch about it. Read about it. Read anything else related to it. You continue receiving some nurturing. Make sure that you keep watching SugarMD YouTube channel. Get our emails. Read our emails. The books. We try to make anything possible free available to you. It is important to keep in mind that sustaining a good A1C level does not have to be a chore. Maintaining control of diabetes, still having a good time at the same time is possible. With the help of this channel, your family, and a little healthy dose of humor. I'll see you next time.
