24. Limiting alcohol intake
I realized that alcohol could disrupt my blood sugar control and undermine my efforts to reverse diabetes. Alcohol can cause unpredictable spikes or drops in glucose, especially when combined with certain foods or medications. I chose to limit my intake, opting for water or herbal tea in social settings. For safe guidelines, I consulted the American Diabetes Association’s advice on alcohol. Reducing alcohol made it easier to maintain steady progress and focus on my health.
