Minutes Matter: Missing Piece in Your Management

Minutes Matter is part of the Michigan 5 M’s of Diabetes Framework—a practical, decision-making tool for managing prediabetes and diabetes. This handout focuses on how “minutes”—the time spent on activities like exercise, meals, medication timing, and rest—directly influence blood glucose levels. It explores how short- and long-term decisions about movement, meal timing, stress, medication, and sleep shape your overall outcomes. With insights grounded in science and lived experience, this resource empowers individuals to make informed and sustainable choices that align with their personal lifestyle and health goals.
