Describe what this course covers and who it is written for.
This course looks at how four habits can affect your blood sugar. The habits are drinking alcohol, smoking, vaping and using cannabis.
Each habit has its own lessons. Some habits have more research than others.
The lessons share what research shows. When the facts are limited, they say so plainly. That way you know how far to trust each point.
This course is for adults with diabetes or prediabetes. It is also for the family, friends or caregivers who help them.
Prediabetes means your blood sugar runs higher than normal. It has not yet reached the diabetes range.
Your doctor can tell you where you stand. This course adds to their advice, never replaces it.
Chapters build on each other, like steps on a staircase. Reading in order makes the most sense.
Each chapter adds to the last. Take it one lesson at a time, and let each step settle before the next.
You can pause any time and pick up where you left off.
