What you measure, you improve. This week, you are starting to measure your blood glucose regularly. In order to follow the Sweet Spot Solution properly, the very first week is focused on measuring and assessing so we can get your baseline. This will be crucial in you having a positive experience throughout the course. In fact, without this step, it can be difficult to even know how far you’ve come!
While the Sweet Spot Solution can be implemented without any special supplements, supplies, or equipment, like with everything else in life, there are tools that can accelerate your progress towards your goals.
Like a carpenter who doesn’t NEED power tools to do his work, he or she certainly appreciates them for the precision and efficiency they afford.
Similarly, to accelerate your progress towards your goals, there are a few supplies that will make your journey easier, and potentially shorter. Hopefully, you’ve purchased your glucose meter.

Download and Read the Sweet Spot Solution Week One Official Handbook
I know that some of you like to print everything out and put it in a binder because you are old-school. That’s why I created weekly handbooks that you can think of as chapters that will give you exactly what you need to focus on each week.Download Chapter One of the Sweet Spot Official Handbook here.
Take Every Assessment
Each assessment is a short, multiple-choice questionnaire. You’ll be given the opportunity to retake these assessments at the end of the program. It’s fantastic that you can see where you’re at now and compare it to yourself at the end! The amount of time my team and I spent to create these assessments is beyond comprehension. No other program offers this level of tracking. I look forward to hearing how you progress and succeed in this program. Details about assessments are in the Week One Handbook.If you need help with how to complete the assessments, please click HERE to watch this brief video
Track Your Blood Sugar Every Morning Upon Waking and One Meal Per Day
This week, you need to track your blood sugar for at least one meal per day. Ideally, you’ll track your high carb favorite meals, your binge meals, your favorite desserts, and your healthy choices, as well. In order to get the best results from the Sweet Spot Solution, you need to know how your body responds to your favorite foods. I’ve noticed that when some people read this step, they try to be ‘good’ and only track meals that are ‘healthy’ or ‘low-glycemic.’ They don’t want people to know how high their blood sugar numbers can be.Please be honest and track your higher carb meals, too. If you try to show your best self and not the honest version of yourself, you are going to struggle in the weeks to come. These measurements will help you determine your Optimal Blood Sugar Range next week. If you’ve fudged them in any way, the Sweet Spot Solution will not be as easy as it is supposed to be because you’ll be using an Optimal Range that isn’t suited for your body.Alright, here’s what you need to track:
- Learn to test your blood sugar with these videos and resources.
- Test your fasting blood sugar every morning upon waking and every night right before bed.
- Measure your blood sugar before eating your meal. Note the time.
- Eat the meal.
- Measure your blood sugar immediately after eating.
- Measure your blood sugar again at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 90 minutes, 2 hours, and every hour until your next meal.
- If you choose, you can do this with every meal. The more you track, the more information you have to make this experience educational, successful, and life-changing.
- Place all of these findings in your Glucose Tracker.
