One Hack to Eating Healthy as a Diabetic

Are you one of those who think it’s impossible to eat healthy foods?

Do you feel your food choices are limited because you're diabetic?

If yes, then you’re in luck. Let me show you a simple way to always enjoy healthy meals!

I always tell my clients to use the Plate Method for their main meal of the day.

This means that 50% of your plate should be filled with vegetables, 25% with protein, and 25% or less with carbs.

So here’s the hack: keep a bowl of vegetable sauce in your kitchen.

With it on hand, you can easily eat healthy at any time. You can pair your vegetable sauce with boiled plantain, sweet potatoes, rice, or whatever fits your carb portion.

Remember, the vegetable sauce will fill up 50% of your plate, while your carb and protein portions will complete it. Filling up on vegetables packs your body with nutrients, from vitamins to antioxidants!

You don’t have to starve yourself to manage high blood sugar.

You can enjoy low-carb meals and wake up with stable blood sugar levels.

All you need is to know the WHEN and the HOW.

Want more tips on managing type 2 diabetes in a way that could even lead to safe reversal?

I invite you to join our Diabetes Support Community on WhatsApp!

THE PRINCIPLE OF COMPOUNDING EFFECT

The compounding effect is a principle I hold dearly. It’s the idea that small, consistent actions or investments can lead to significant results over time.

During my undergraduate years, I discovered that I had a short attention span. Waiting until just before exams to study wasn’t an option, as I couldn’t grasp everything at once. Instead, I began reading for 30-40 minutes daily and jotting down my thoughts. By test time, all I had to do was review my notes. This approach showed me firsthand how consistent, small actions can yield remarkable outcomes.

As I’ve grown, I’ve come to realize this principle applies to all areas of life:

Health: Choosing nutrient-dense meals over time improves health and lowers the risk of chronic diseases—small actions, big rewards. But, on the flip side, small unhealthy habits accumulate as well. Consuming junk food regularly can lead to weight gain, high cholesterol, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Little actions, whether good or bad, can compound to have profound effects.

Fitness: Daily habits like exercising or simply being active compound to improve fitness, stamina, and mental well-being.

TDCN’s Journey: The Diabetes Care Network started as one person posting broad health topics, then niching down to diabetes. From just 10 monthly posts, we grew to daily posts, selling meal plans and eBooks, hosting coaching programs, and organizing impactful outreaches. All these small efforts, done consistently, have led to tremendous growth and impact.

The same is true for reversing type 2 diabetes—it isn’t about a quick fix or magic pill. It’s about making small, healthy changes consistently to achieve big results.

Time and Exponential Growth

The compounding effect relies on time. Small, positive actions yield bigger returns the longer they’re maintained. And, unlike linear growth, compounding is exponential. Think of the snowball effect—small actions gain momentum, leading to even more substantial growth as they build on one another.

So, my question to you this morning is: Are you building compounding effects that will serve you positively? Or are small habits accumulating in ways that could lead to negative consequences in your health or career?

Lagos was an experience!

I met amazing people and forged friendships that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. For me, it was a retreat and a period of self-reflection, and I’m glad I made that trip.

I’m grateful to my host, and I know God will continue to bless her. If I know one thing, it’s this: I am blessed with the gift of incredible people.

My phone was stolen in Lagos, and at first, I was in denial—like, how could this happen to me? Lol.

Anyway, I got back home, and while crying, I was filling out an application with a deadline just hours away.

We can do both—cry and work!

I believe you lose 100% of the shots you don’t take, so whether you feel like it or not, TAKE THE SHOT!

While questioning why God allowed my phone to be stolen, I realized that phones are just material things; they don’t define us. I spoke with a friend, and he reminded me that material things shouldn’t dictate our mood.

To further emphasize this lesson, I just finished reading DEAD HEAT by Joel Rosenberg. The last pages of this intriguing book touch on the rapture of the saints—nothing prepared me for that ending, and then it all made sense!

We’re not leaving this world with our phones or assets, but we will be remembered for the impact we’ve had on others.

Did we lead them to Yeshua HaMashiach, the greatest love we can offer anyone?

Everything that’s happened over the last few days has made me realize that my life will be dedicated to serving Christ and His people.

With this renewed focus, I invite you all to join us at The Diabetes Care Network. This November, we’ll be visiting schools to create diabetes awareness campaigns and train teachers on how to beat type 2 diabetes.

This outreach will take place in two states—Cross River State and Rivers State.

If you feel led to support this project, please send a DM or reach out at 0706 763 4809.

For some reason, I couldn’t watch “The Woman King”. I thought something was wrong with me, but now I understand why.

I have grown up learning about our history as Africans: the slave trades, the dehumanization of the Black community, the plantations, the masters, the K*K, etc. These are essential stories that should never be forgotten, as they help shape our understanding of the past.

However, I also believe it's time we balanced these narratives with stories of triumph and progress, taking responsibility for our communities.

I think in this 21st century, we should tell more stories about the amazing work of art AFRICA as a continent is.

Recently, while going to a networking event, we passed through an impoverished Black neighborhood in Baltimore. Dirty, unkempt, dilapidated etc.

While there are a thousand reasons why this neighborhood has remained abandoned for over 20 years, I tried wrapping my head around the concept of shared responsibility.

What can we as individuals do to improve our communities?

How do we reduce crime and drug use in our neighborhoods?

How can we make our communities safer, healthier, and more conducive so that they begin to attract investors and people of other races?

This thought pattern made me understand why I couldn’t watch the story of “The Woman King” in this 21st century.

I just concluded a presentation about Nigeria where I highlighted how amazing, diverse, hardworking, talented, and resilient we Nigerians are, and I was proud of my country!

It was also beautiful to get positive feedback from participants recounting real-life experiences of how helpful, hardworking, and respectful Nigerians have been to them in the US.

These are the stories that light up my world. We should promote these more!

While there are systemic issues and limiting policies that try to stifle our economic prowess and divide our community, I want to watch movies like “Self Made”, “The Burial”, “Black Panther” etc., that showcase the achievements, resilience, and expertise of our people, thereby building positive motivation.

Or maybe it’s just me who feels this way.

It's not about ignoring our past but about complementing it with narratives that inspire us to move forward. By doing so, we honor our history and also create a vision for a better future.

The Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders for 10 years have been promoting the amazing work of a diverse group of inspiring young leaders across Africa.

These are activities I can relate to.

This is not an attempt to oversimplify a complex matter.

I just believe we have suffered as a race. What we do next, and how we build on our history, is our responsibility.

What are your thoughts?

I would love to hear from you.

Here’s a confession:

Whenever I’m struggling to sleep, I play any message by Apostle Joshua Selman, and like magic, I will just doze off. 😂😂

I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but it has really helped focus my mind on the things of God before I sleep instead of letting my mind wander.

So to the real gist😊

Recently, I have been listening to this message titled "Diligence" by Joshua Selman, and I thought to share some quotes/lessons that I learned from it.

Let’s go!

1. The birth of anything valuable is painful. You have to roll up your sleeves and do the necessary work to get the results you want.

2. The price needed to produce outstanding results is diligence. Diligence is the quality of being productive, strategic (you have to be strategic so you don’t waste your energy doing unproductive work), resilient, and unbending—the refusal to bow out. It is the quality of endurance. Results don’t just happen overnight; there is always a process.

3. Diligence is a trait that all successful people have. It will demand the sacrifice of your time, energy, and resources.

4. Time is money—you are only rewarded when you create an event that people have time to attend.

5. God is the builder of all, but every house is built by someone. There’s a place for the anointing, but you also have to reciprocate with God’s grace by doing your part. Put in the work!

6. When you start seeing growth and success, always pray to God to deliver you from complacency and an arrival mentality. There is always more.

7. The way to the throne is the cross—the sacrificial dimension of diligence.

8. Nothing just happens. If you are not valuable, nobody will reward Nothing just happens. If you are not valuable, nobody will reward you. It’s a scam to demand from life and not give anything back. How valuable are you?

9. Diligence involves elasticity and resilience. Life rewards consistency. It is foolishness to quit because you failed at an event.

10. There’s a difference between failing at an event and failing in life. Failure is not an end; it’s a pathway to success.

11. When you have results, you don’t hate.

12. Strive for mastery. If it means getting additional certifications, do it.

Ponder these twelve points.

Also, remember to listen to the message: “Diligence” by Apostle Joshua Selman.
