How to find the magic range for normal blood sugar - not too low, not too high.
What is normal blood sugar, and how do I get it? That’s the question we get asked all the time on Sweet Life. In this episode, we unpack what magic range we should be aiming for (4 to 7mmol/l), as well as the symptoms of low blood sugar, and high blood sugar. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be diabetic, here’s the explanation!
We also take a look at how to keep blood sugar within the magic range. Spoiler alert: there’s no dramatic fix, you have to take it step by step, one day at a time.

S2E07 Are eating disorders common in people with diabetes?
Let's take a deep breath and talk about it - this is a hard one.
We know that depression and anxiety are far more prevalent in people with diabetes, but does this extend to eating disorders too? We speak to intuitive eating counsellor Gayle Landau about her experiences with diabetes and eating disorders - why they are so common, how to spot the warning signs, and what to do to help someone with diabetes who is struggling with an eating disorder. We also hear from Elre Clarence, who is living with Type 1 and recovering from an eating disorder.
Diabetes may predispose us to disordered eating - food rules, diet culture and being on a restrictive diet can set us up for failure because it causes anxiety around eating. This is a thoughtful, kind conversation about how diabetes affects the way we feel about food. Intuitive Eating: creating a relationship between food, mind and body. · Weight neutral for diabetes care: weight-inclusive education and training. · Dr Michelle May: author of 'Eat What you Love, Love what you Eat'.
