The new food pyramid just dropped, and it's left a lot of people with various forms of diabetes feeling confused: 

  • "What do we do now?"
  • "Who even follows this?"
  • "Should I follow this?"

If you have diabetes, you've probably heard it all from your healthcare providers, peers, and strangers over the years:

  • "Eat keto."
  • "Eat low-carb."
  • "Eat paleo."
  • "Do intermittent fasting."

It's exhausting. And diabetes isn't one-size-fits-all. So advice shouldn't be either.

Still, when new guidance comes out, we question everything all over again. Because we're always looking for ways to optimize and improve. That's life with diabetes!

We have to take guidance with a grain of salt and a little more context...

🎙️ In this episode, we sit down with Mila Clarke, known as @thehangrywoman online, to break down:

✅ What the new food pyramid actually means for people with diabetes
✅ Why low-carb isn't the only answer
✅ How to find a nutrition approach that fits YOUR life

👉 Watch now to feel more empowered with your food choices.
