8a: 99 Problems (But Highs Ain’t One) — The 20 by 2 Rule

from The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast · host John Pemberton

Suggest guests or get in contactThis bonus Episode 8B is a family special — co-created with my daughter Grace. It takes the science of activity lowering glucose and flips it into something fun: a rap we call 99 Problems (But Highs Ain’t One).The key message? When you’re above 10 mmol/L (180 mg/dL), just 20 minutes of activity can drop glucose by 2 mmol/L (≈40 mg/dL). That’s the “20 by 2” (or 20 by 40) rule. But, Grace said 8 years olds don’t want to hear 20 by 2! They want to hear it in a fun way! So, she made up a rap, with the help of Chad! Here is the Chorus:If you’re having glucose problems, I feel bad for your son,I’ve got 99 problems but high glucose ain’t one — hit me.I know Dr Addala will be proud  If you enjoyed this, explore more:Episode 8 — Activity SnackingWant more on the science backing it up?CGM Accuracy & Insights SeriesInsulin Resistance SeriesFoundations — The Fundamentals of The Glucose Never Lies®Listen or Watch:The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast → Buzzsprout | Spotify | Apple PodcastsYouTube ChannelFind out more at theglucoseneverlies.comFollow on socials: Twitter/X @GlucoseNLies | Instagram @theglucoseneverlies | LinkedIn John PembertonSupport GNL: https://buy.stripe.com/9B63cx4UO3KEdKC0Sp7Re00The Glucose Never Lies® is a registered trademark of The GNL Ltd.
