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.
This is The Daily Dose, your moment to pause, learn something new, and take one small step toward balance and better health.”
Today, we’re talking about a tiny habit that can make a big difference: drinking water before your morning coffee.
After a night of sleep, your body is naturally dehydrated. When coffee comes first, it can sometimes increase stress hormones and lead to blood sugar fluctuations, especially on an empty stomach. Drinking about 8 ounces of water before coffee helps rehydrate your body, support digestion, and ease your system into the day. You’re not giving up coffee, you’re just supporting your body first.
This slight pause can help you feel more grounded and steady before caffeine enters the picture. If you want more gentle, realistic habits like this, download my free guide Five Ways to Take Control of Your Mornings. It’s designed to help you feel more supported and in control, without overwhelm.
With Peace & Love,
Renee
