Really? A cleanse? Suny, have you lost your mind?
No, of course not. The Ultimate Reset is one of Beachbody’s premium programs I tried prior to my diabetes diagnosis and loved. It broke my addiction to caffeine, the drive thru and convenient food. I slept the deepest, and felt the most vitalized. I even lost 9.4 pounds too. It was by far not an easy program if you struggle like I do, but it was certainly worth it.
Fast forward 2 years….
I have been struggling managing my addiction to caffeine, and sugar again, but now I am on insulin. I didn’t want to commit 21 days to pure elimination of all the above, but one day of blood sugars over 300 forced me to face the truth. I needed to break the above and complete a”Reset” before I cause permanent damage.
I made the commitment. 21 Days, the Ultimate Reset and I, me and my meter.
The supplements and foods are based on whole foods. This is the cleanest food regimen one can get. The only problem is, because it is a total reset of my system, many protein sources are eliminated and no caffeine, no coffee, and definitely no pure sugar. As a result, I needed to be glued to my meter to make sure my insulin needs are met.
Whew. This has been an interesting 16 days. Week 1 was very difficult. Not only did I see a major drop in my insulin use (woohoo!), I was withdrawing from caffeine and sugar. To say things were complicated is to say the least. Was it worth it? YES! Look at my numbers on Days 1-7 below:
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | |
| Fasting | 97 | 99 | 94 | 103 | 96 | 98 | 101 |
| Post-Bk | 114 | 122 | 117 | 121 | 110 | 111 | 123 |
| Pre-Lunch | 101 | 110 | 98 | 82 | 72* | 95 | 102 |
| Post-Lunch | 133 | 126 | 118 | 129 | 105 | 130 | 122 |
| Pre-Dinner | 85 | 99 | 102 | 80 | 98 | 82 | 78 |
| Post-Dinner | 122 | 134 | 121 | 156 | 118 | 144 | 111 |
| Bedtime | 118 | 122 | 105 | 133 | 112 | 134 | 105 |
* Symptomatic for low
Those are beautiful numbers aren’t they?? (My goal is to have tight control of 70-140. Your goals may be slightly different.)
Well the magic is in The Ultimate Reset. Good vegetable based food. Good supportive supplements and massive lifestyle change. I am determined to make this permanent.
I have 5 more days, and I look forward to sharing my results.
I have had a significant decrease in insulin use and so far have lost 7 pounds. I feel fantastic and super pumped for the last few days.

Do you HAVE to do the Ultimate Reset to get the above results? No, but it sure helps. Keep your eyes peeled on Thrive with Diabetes to learn how to incorporate clean foods daily to manage your blood sugar. It doesn’t have to be the Ultimate Reset, but you do have to commit to changing your habits. It IS worth it, I promise.
