How Hanna Crosby treated high random blood glucose?

 Note - This article is written by one of our patients about their experiences with high random blood glucose. 

I'm Hanna Crosby, and when I woke up this morning, I was feeling rather apprehensive. My days as a full-time project manager are typically filled with pressing deadlines, picky clients, and continuous multitasking. My nerves are constantly frazzled and on edge due to stress, which has become a constant companion. Today, though, I was carrying more weight than usual. My blood sugar levels were dangerously high when I decided to check them the previous evening. To my dismay, the result of 303 mg/dL was an obvious warning.

I've always been aware of how unhealthy my lifestyle was for maintaining my health. My body has suffered as a result of inconsistent eating habits, long workdays, and a lack of exercise. But as I looked back at those data, it became painfully clear that I needed to act right away.

I struggled to focus on my daily activities as I sat at my desk feeling anxious. My mind raced through the various consequences of having high blood sugar, including the threat of developing diabetes, organ damage, and cardiovascular problems. My personal and professional responsibilities were even more burdensome at this point. How might I deal with this new health issue while also managing my work stress?

I decided that I had to put my health first after taking a big breath. Learning about the effects of high blood sugar and how to successfully manage it was the first step. I made contact with a diabetes educator and set up a meeting. They taught me the value of maintaining a healthy weight, getting regular exercise, and keeping an eye on my blood sugar levels. With knowledge in hand, I started making adjustments to my regular routine.

My nutrition was one of the most major changes. I replaced processed foods and sugary snacks with tastier options like fresh produce, lean meats, and nutritious grains. I discovered how to precisely divide my meals and count my carbs in order to maintain a steady consumption throughout the day. To stave off hunger and keep blood sugar levels normal, snacking on nuts and seeds became a habit.

I also made fitness a part of my everyday schedule. I made an effort to arrange time for physical activity despite my busy schedule. No matter if it was a fast workout at the gym or a brisk walk during lunch, moving my body reduced my blood sugar levels and reduced tension. Exercise also released endorphins, which was a wonderful diversion from anxiousness.

Stress management also became a crucial component of my daily regimen. I researched a variety of stress-reduction methods, including mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, and meditation. I used to choose a calm area, close my eyes, and concentrate on my breathing during lunch breaks. These fleeting respites from the bustle of work allowed me to refuel and keep my equilibrium.

Another essential component of controlling my blood sugar levels was incorporating self-care into my daily routine. I set aside time each day to do things that made me happy and relaxed. I found that reading a book, taking a bubble bath, or just being with loved ones helped me relax and lower my anxiety. It was crucial for me to remind myself that self-care was not a luxury but a need and that prioritising my health was critical.

I was able to lower my blood glucose levels through constant work and a thorough strategy. Regular check-ups with my medical team helped me keep on track by offering direction and support. Even though I continued to experience difficult events at work, I was able to handle them better thanks to my improved resilience and healthier lifestyle.

My blood sugar levels eventually stabilised, and the worry that had previously engulfed me started to fade. Despite some challenges along the way, managing my high blood sugar allowed me to put my health first and have a happier, more balanced life. I am appreciative for the wake-up call that my battle with high blood sugar levels gave me today as I think back on it. It compelled me to reassess my priorities and make wise decisions that had a long-lasting effect on my physical and emotional health. Although I know there will be ups and downs as I continue on my journey, I now have the skills and information necessary to handle any obstacles that may arise.
