Do you ever feel alone in your Type 2 diabetes management journey, wishing your loved ones understood and supported you better? It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. Isolation.

In this week’s episode, I open up about a universal struggle many of us face when dealing with Type 2 diabetes.

Drawing from my own experiences, I provide practical guidance on how to bridge the gap and find much-needed support from family and friends.

What value will you receive in this week’s episode?

Together, we'll explore

The importance of educating your loved ones about diabetes, openly communicating your goals and challenges, and being specific about your needs.

I emphasize the value of nurturing a strong support system, share insights on coping with potential disappointments, and guide you toward external support sources when your immediate circle falls short.

Finally, I remind you to express gratitude for those who stand by your side and empower yourself through self-advocacy in your diabetes management journey.

Is it avoiding junk food? Is it avoiding sweets? Is it eating more salad? Did you hear that going completely Vegan is the best change you can make?

The choices we make every day play a major role in our health. Food is the solution to improving our health, beating disease, feeling energetic, and reducing illnesses.

It’s time to take control of your eating instead of continuing to allow food to control you.

Have you ever wondered why it seems so difficult to manage your weight and control your blood sugar levels, even when you're making an effort to eat healthy?

Well, today's episode is all about tackling an annoying habit that might be sabotaging your progress: grazing. You know; mindlessly and sporadically snacking and eating all day. Some people don’t realize that grazing may be a big reason why they’ve put on extra pounds in what seems like overnight.

Excess weight, especially around the waistline, can lead to insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. This resistance disrupts the regulation of blood sugar levels, contributing to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes.

The good news is that weight loss has the potential to reverse these effects. By shedding those extra pounds, you can enhance insulin sensitivity and restore your body's ability to utilize glucose effectively. In fact, research has shown that even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10% can lead to substantial improvements in blood sugar control.

When we were in our teens, 20’s and 30’s, many of us could get away with eating whatever we wanted, and exercising on occasion. But when we crossed over that 40th milestone, things started to change.

Some of us felt as if we slowed down. Our bodies started aching more than usual. Our waistlines seemed to expand over night. Clothes don’t seem to fit right. Energy seem low. Constantly exhausted. And our we found ourselves taking more trips to the pharmacy.

Is it true that most men wait until something bad happens before taking their health seriously? Some people think so, while others, not so much.
