Diabetes is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in adults. And who better to explain the connection between sight and diabetes than an ophthalmologist? Dr. James Muecke has been working as an ophthalmologist in Adelaide, South Australia, for over 30 years. In 2020 he was named Australian of the Year for his work with the nonprofit, Sight for All.  Shortly before this honor, he began exploring the link between nutrition and eyesight. Now he is using his recognition to spread the message that losing vision to diabetes is not inevitable. Diabetes can be put into remission, and vision can be restored with the help of nutrition and lifestyle interventions. James is currently working on a book that compiles the lessons learned through his work. During this episode, James shares some of his case studies and gives advice to anyone that might be concerned about their vision. Listen in as James and I chat about the two major impacts on the eye in people with diabetes, vision check recommendations, and common barriers to lifestyle changes.

They say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down but maybe they should say it brings us closer to diabetes.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: Sugar vs Dr James Muecke00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:05:06 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is the Baristador B70 dark roast espresso. 00:11:43 Dr James Muecke Sugar is everywhere and in everything, from processed foods to the fruit of the vine. It comes in every type of food we can imagine and in our brains, sugar stimulates the “feel-good” chemical dopamine, which scientists think has evolutionary roots (find a source of sugar in hunter-gatherer days and you have a source of energy that will aid survival. However, the 2020 Australian of the Year, ophthalmologist James Muecke, says in our society, sugar is a shortcut to diabetes and the next stop after that is blindness. Sight For All James, I feel bad that we're not going to have time to delve into your wonderful legacy of work as an opthamologist all around the world, doing what you could to save and restore sight. So could we start with one of your most profound memories of your work in that field, whether that was in Australia or overseas? Hearing stories like that makes my blood boil because you represent a body of people who dedicated years to learning within the discipline of medical science but most of the noise we get on social media these days is all about how that science is a fraud. Have you developed any coping mechanisms for when you encounter the torrent of half-baked intuitions, psuedo science, and snake oil being touted by these shrill alarmists? I saw you speak recently at a conference of doctors and you stunned us with your opening story of a patient of yours who woke up one day, blind. Can you share that story now because that puts the seriousness of our sugar discussion into perspective. How do we measure the impact sugar consumption is having on our bodies. Are there particular signs that we doing it wrong? Let's talk about the 5 As of sugar. We have some questions about interacting with sugar from listeners but as I look at them, they are largely about sugar itself, whereas you had some good coverage in the media recently about turning the focus around to eat like it's the 1970s. I want to get to the "sugar wrestle" but let's start on the positive step about how we should be approaching food. I want to turn to our 11yo voiceover artist, Caitlin, who has contributed the following questions, completely unprompted. How much sugar a day is good for a human? In other words, should we be having no sugar or a bit of sugar a day? Is the sugar in fruits and sweets the same and if it is, why do fruits have sugar? And how much sugar does it take to gain weight? Two other listeners have asked similar questions: Monique Miller would like to know your opinion on artificial sweeteners and the “sugar free” craze too. Should we cut back on sweet altogether? Are they an ok alternative? And Chris Glenn from Japan asks, what do you suggest as Sugar alternatives because we've been using one made from beets? Another listener, Rick Carter, asks, what do you think about SA Health funded Sausage sizzles ... and The Premier promoting Krispy Kremes. As our household moves towards eating whole foods and reducing sugar, I commented recently to my wife that our days start strongly (intermittent fasting, whole meats and veg and dairy and nuts for lunch/dinner), but then the ship of virtue crashes into the reef of carbs around 9pm when crisps or ice cream or chocolate or all three start their siren calls. Would you think that isolating our weaknesses and strengthening them up, is a fast and reliable way for shoring up the ship, as it were? Should sugar be a proclaimed substance like tobacco or alcohol and only be sold through specific stores AND not to minors? Do we build "slack" into our systems if we're doing most things right, so much so that our bodies can cope more readily with some lopsided eating either as "treats" or during times of unexpected bursts of stress or abnormal situations?

We all know what we eat has an enormous impact on our health. But do Australia’s standardised dietary guidelines and health star ratings always have our best interests at heart? Is food labelling sending clear, consistent messages? And what are we to make of claims such as ‘organic’ or ‘non-genetically modified’?

In addition, he wants to challenge our perception and our relationship with sugar,  as he states that "Sugar is as toxic and addictive as nicotine".  He walked us through the growing cases of type 2 diabetes and ways to avoid this. We also spoke about one of his patients, Neil, who, as a result of his extreme sugar intake, led to Neil waking up one morning completely blind and lead to 9 separate amputation operations. The negative effects that sugar has on our health and the correlation between sugar and blindness is confronting.James also shared his thoughts on what the future looks like for the human race if we keep going down the path of fast food, sugars, alcohol etc.Where to find Dr James MueckeLinkedInSight For AllJoin the conversation on Synergy IQ LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram (@synergyiq) and please support other leaders by liking, subscribing and sharing this podcast. Access SynergyIQ Website to get to know more about us. Say hello to our host Daniel on LinkedIn.

It is a great honour to have Australian of the Year 2020, Dr James Muecke on the podcast. Jamesgraduated with Honours from the University of Adelaide Medical School and then went on to train as an Ophthalmologist. He is the founding chairman of Sight For All, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to fighting avoidable blindness in the world. This organisation provides around 1 million eye treatments to those in need. Using his platform as Australian of the Year, James has focused his attention on raising awareness around the dangers of sugar, processed foods and the prevention of type 2 diabetes which is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness, ill-health and death in the world. James is seeking reform to the dietary guidelines and predatory marketing from the processed food industry in an attempt to improve the metabolic health of all Australians.

Dr James Muecke AM is our 2020 Australian of the Year for his work as an eye surgeon over many decades restoring sight for thousands of people around the world. His non-profit organisation Sight For All educates both patients and opthalmic/optometric health practitioners in countries around the world and has seen a correlative rise of poor eye health with Type 2 Diabetes. This led Dr Muecke to investigate the causal factors behind Type 2 Diabetes which he now considers to be a 'largely preventable and potentially reversible man-made lifestyle disease'.

As part of National Diabetes Week, Dr Muecke has agreed for me to share with you his presentation he did for the 2021 Low Carb Lifestyle Long Weekend. Dr James Muecke AM graduated with Honors from the University of Adelaide Medical School in 1987. Following his internship, James lived and worked as a doctor in Africa and subsequently as an eye surgeon in the Middle East, battling malaria, wild animals, and rebel soldiers. He founded Sight For All in 2008, turning his boundless energy into a fight against blindness in the Aboriginal and mainstream communities of Australia and some of the poorest countries of Asia and Africa. Sight For All's comprehensive and sustainable projects are now impacting on the lives of over one million people each year.  His commitment to social impact and humanitarian endeavors has earnt him a number of awards including an Order of Australia in 2012, the Australian Medical Association's President's Leadership Award in 2013, and Ernst & Young's Social Entrepreneur for Australia in 2015. James was Australian of the Year for 2020. James is a researcher, a teacher, an author, a musician, a photographer, and a film producer, and uses his many skills to deliver passionate, fascinating, and at times confronting presentations about his life, his work, philanthropy, resilience and social entrepreneurship. A neurological condition impacting on his dexterity has forced James into a premature retirement from surgery. Not letting his disability slow him down, James has redirected his vigor to crafting films, and has a number of powerful documentaries under his belt and several compelling projects in production.
