You can ‘hack’ your blood sugar by doing the following things:⁠

• Go for a walk – it helps burn sugar and calories, reduces stress⁠
• Consume carbs around workouts – workouts help burn excess calories or take you can advantage of continued calorie burn after a session⁠
• Eat carbs with protein and fat – they help you digest and use carbs more efficiently⁠
• Eat your carbs last – if you’re full, you’re likely to eat fewer carbs than eating on an empty stomach⁠
• Avoid high glycemic carbs – stick to fresh berries, leafy green veggies and minimally processed grains like brown rice and quinoa⁠
• Reduce stress – high stress leads to high cortisol levels which makes balancing your blood sugar more difficult⁠
• Add vinegar and cinnamon – both work with your naturally occurring insulin to manage blood sugar⁠
• Get a good night’s rest – inadequate rest raises cortisol levels and throws hormones out of balance making it harder to process sugar⁠
