Hello, my friend, Renee here from The Diabetic Toolbox, where our mission is to end type 2 diabetes one family at a time. Welcome to The Daily Dose, your moment to pause, learn something new, and take one small step toward balance and better health.
Let’s talk about something many of us quietly struggle with: food anxiety.
That fear of eating the “wrong” thing, counting every carb, or stressing over how one meal might affect your blood sugar. Food anxiety can keep you in a constant state of tension, which ironically raises blood sugar all on its own.
Here’s the truth: you deserve peace with food.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s awareness. Instead of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” try asking yourself:
How will this food make me feel in the next two hours?
This simple question shifts the mindset from fear to self-care.
