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.

- 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.
