It's important to distinguish fact from fiction to effectively lower and balance your blood sugar levels, manage your emotions, manage your energy levels, and all the things that make up a high quality lifestyle that is absolutely possible for you with Diabetes.
The Consequences of Diabetes Misinformation
Diabetes myths and misconceptions can take you down a path that can accelerate the unwelcome consequences affecting your energy levels, mental clarity, and daily self-care. Not getting the full truth can result in:
