Episode 150 - Understanding, Managing, and Reversing Diabetes for Men Over 40

In 2021, over 38 million Americans (11.6% of the population) had
diabetes, mostly type 2, while 97.6 million adults had
prediabetes, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. Although millions of
new cases are diagnosed yearly, particularly in those over 45,
the condition is often reversible with lifestyle changes. 


In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the severe health risks
associated with untreated diabetes and the need not only to
understand and manage diabetes but also to take proactive steps
to reverse it by adopting healthier habits. I’ll share my journey
of helping my father control the condition, which has led to
significant improvements in blood sugar levels.





Additionally, we’ll discuss three common dietary mistakes many
people with diabetes make and the importance of a healthy
lifestyle, including regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress
management, and sufficient sleep, in controlling blood sugar
levels. 





If you or someone you know is dealing with type 2 diabetes,
listen to the episode and check out our diabetes program to learn
how you can potentially reverse diabetes rather than just manage
it.
