What You're Drinking Could Be the Problem With Your Diabetes Numbers
If you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and you’re frustrated that your A1C is still high—or that losing weight feels harder than it should—this episode may help explain why.
In this episode of The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle Podcast, I break down one of the most overlooked lifestyle habits that quietly contributes to weight gain, insulin resistance, and blood sugar instability: what you’re drinking.
Many people focus on food but rarely examine their daily beverages. Sweet tea, juice, sports drinks, coffee drinks, and even “healthy” smoothies can contain significant amounts of sugar, making blood sugar harder to manage and weight loss more difficult—whether you have diabetes or not.
I also share a personal story from early in my health journey that completely changed how I read nutrition labels and view sugar, especially in drinks. From there, I explain how sugary beverages impact blood sugar and how to make realistic, sustainable swaps without feeling deprived.
This episode is part of an ongoing series focused on the everyday lifestyle behaviors that contribute to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes—and how to start making simple changes that actually stick.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why sugary drinks impact blood sugar differently than solid food
How liquid calories can slow weight loss
Common beverages that quietly spike blood sugar
How to spot added sugars on nutrition labels
Simple drink swaps you can start today
