21. Diabetes & Gut Health

The Diabetic Toolbox

Hello friends, today we are talking about the connection between your gut health and successfully managing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. 70-80 percent of your immune cells are in your gut; an unhealthy gut can promote insulin sensitivity and inflammation, and insulin is the primary hormone that controls your blood sugar; by strengthening your gut and reducing inflammation, you have a better chance of stabilizing your blood sugar daily. In addition, research has shown that when the microbiome is not healthy, it can cause the walls of your gut to weaken, leaving space where toxins, bacteria, and partially digested food can leak into the bloodstream causing leaky gut syndrome.

I am sharing some simple tips to help you improve your gut health, lower your blood sugar, and reduce inflammation. Don't forget to share this episode with a friend and follow the blog at www.thediabetictoolbox.com, so you don't miss an episode.

With Peace & Love,

Renee
