"Sequence interventions: diet first then supplements Drawing on clinical practice, this physician outlines a deliberate order for tackling blood sugar dysregulation rather than reaching for supplements or medications immediately. The recommended sequence is: 'start with diet, that's always a good starting point, assess how you're feeling as you make changes, maybe get a glucose monitor to understand what your body is doing, go to sleep next because we know healthy sleep promotes healthy blood sugar levels, and from there move into the world of herbs and supplements.' Only after those steps are tried should medications be considered. This staged approach prevents people from jumping to more aggressive interventions before the foundational ones have had a chance to work.
