Hello everyone, Renee here, and welcome to The Diabetic Toolbox, where we are on a mission to end type 2 diabetes, one family at a time, through education, support, and empowerment.
The Daily Dose, your moment to pause, learn something new, and take one small step toward balance and better health.” Today, I am introducing our brand-new free guide, Five Ways to Take Back Control of Your Mornings, with simple morning habits to help you take back control.
Let’s talk about the first way to take control of your mornings: waking up gently.
If you wake up rushing, stressed, or immediately checking your phone, your body goes into a stress response. When stress hormones rise, blood sugar often rises too. That’s not your fault, it’s biology. Waking up gently doesn’t mean your mornings have to be perfect. It might look like giving yourself a few extra minutes, taking a few deep breaths before getting out of bed, or simply slowing your pace where you can.

Mornings can feel overwhelming after a pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes diagnosis. The pressure to “do everything right” often starts the moment you wake up.
If you have been looking for a gentler way to start your day, this is for you.

Calmer mornings help regulate your nervous system, and when your nervous system feels safer, your blood sugar often responds more steadily.
If you want simple, supportive ways to build calmer mornings that work with your body, I’ve created a free guide called Five Ways to Take Control of Your Mornings. You can download it using the link in the show notes or below this video and start with just one small habit.
With Peace & Love,
Renee
