Understanding Diabetes Through Faith & Science

📖

What is Carbohydrate Counting?

Carbohydrate counting is a meal planning technique that helps manage blood glucose levels by tracking carbohydrate intake. This systematic approach honors the body as God’s temple while working with medical science.

“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
– Proverbs 21:5
🎯

Stewardship of Health

Managing diabetes can be seen as faithful stewardship of the body God has entrusted to us. Understanding how foods affect blood sugar helps us make informed choices in partnership with our healthcare team.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?”
– 1 Corinthians 6:19
🤝

Community & Support

Walking through diabetes doesn’t have to be lonely. Building community with others who share both faith and health challenges provides encouragement and practical wisdom for the journey.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
– Proverbs 27:17

Weekly Devotions for Health Journeys

Finding Peace in the Storm

When diabetes feels overwhelming, remember that God’s peace surpasses understanding. Managing a chronic condition requires both medical diligence and spiritual trust.

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
– Philippians 4:7

Reflection: How can you find peace while still being diligent about your health management today?

Strength for Each Day

Daily diabetes care can feel burdensome, but God promises strength for each new day. Every blood sugar check and meal decision is an opportunity to practice faithful stewardship.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
– Isaiah 40:31

Prayer: Ask God for strength to be faithful in the small daily tasks of health management.

Gratitude in Trials

While diabetes presents challenges, it can also teach us dependence on God and gratitude for each healthy day. Modern medicine is one of God’s provisions for our care.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
– 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Practice: List three things about your health journey you can thank God for today.
