Hi Michelle,
As you know, the stress, the work, etc etc can play havoc with blood sugars. We’re all different, so it may not suit you, but I found that Morrisons wheat, spelt & rye bread was excellent at smoothing out morning blood sugars. I think the different release profiles of the grains helped with the smoothing of bs. It only works if I also get the dose right to silence the liver’s unhelpful dawn chorus.
I used to swim a lot when I was working, and trying to shed stress. That helped.
You’re very very brave to move alone to a different country. Many Universities have clubs set up that might make life more social. There might be one or two where you are. Best choose something you’d like; be it chess, film, sport, music . . .
Are you living alone, or in a hall? Do you have to travel far to get to Uni? It all makes a difference.
Have another hug from a Type One granny (yes, I really am a granny).
