Blood sugar control isn't just important for people with diabetes - it plays a key role in our metabolic health, appetite regulation and healthy ageing.

In this week's episode of Diet Notes, dietitian Susie Burrell explores the connection between blood glucose, insulin and longevity, and shares five simple strategies to help improve blood sugar control through everyday diet and lifestyle habits.

From choosing savoury breakfasts and managing sugar cravings to spacing out meals and moving after eating, Susie explains how small changes to your daily routine can make a meaningful difference.

In this episode, Susie discusses:

• Why blood glucose and HbA1c levels are worth monitoring as we age
• How savoury breakfasts may help with appetite control and sugar cravings
• Why limiting sweet snacks throughout the day can be beneficial
• The importance of allowing time between meals and snacks
• How a short walk after eating can support healthy blood glucose levels
• The role of muscle mass, carbohydrate portions and meal balance in metabolic health

Plus, Susie takes a closer look at the growing longevity trend, explaining why the foundations of good metabolic health may be far more valuable than expensive supplements and wellness fads.
