Podcasts about Type 2 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes doesn't always travel alone — in fact, it often brings other autoimmune conditions along for the ride. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman shine a light on the most common ones that tend to show up with T1D, why they happen in the first place, when you should be screened, and what subtle symptoms should raise a red flag.They walk through what's common but manageable,  like thyroid issues and celiac disease — as well as what's rare but critical not to miss, like Addison's disease (adrenal failure), which can be dangerous if left undiagnosed but incredibly treatable once caught early.Most importantly, Jeremy and Steve explain how simple blood tests can catch these conditions before they spiral, and how the right medication can completely change how you feel day-to-day.Key Topics:• T1D & Autoimmunity 101: Why having one autoimmune condition raises your risk for others• Thyroid Disorders: The most common — hyper vs. hypo, yearly screening, easy treatment• Celiac Disease: Why it's up to 10x more common in T1D and often missed without symptoms• Addison's Disease Awareness: The “silent” cortisol deficiency you don't want to miss• Proactive Care Mindset: How to build autoimmune screening into your diabetes warranty plan ★ Support this podcast ★

But type 2 diabetes is much more complex than that, and it's far more common than most people realize. About one in seven adults in the U.S. has diabetes, while roughly one in three lives with prediabetes. Even if it doesn't affect someone directly, chances are it impacts a family member or close friend.This topic hits close to home for many, including myself, after a relative reached out being newly diagnosed. That conversation reminded me how overwhelming those first moments can feel—when questions start piling up about what diabetes really means and how to move forward.In this week's episode, I'll talk about type 2 diabetes—what it really is, how it's treated, and how lifestyle plays a major role in managing it. We'll also look deeper into how it affects the body beyond blood sugar and why bariatric surgery has become such a powerful option for some patients. It's a condition that deserves more attention—not only because it's so widespread, but because with the right approach, it's manageable and, in some cases, even reversible.If this is something that affects you or someone close to you, I encourage you to listen to the full episode. We'll walk through everything step by step—from understanding the science to finding the tools that make everyday life a little easier.Connect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

I am a Type 2 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in December 2022.Since being diagnosed I have made a lot of life style changes with the goal of being off my diabetes medication.In November 2023 I achieved that goal. In April 2025 my doctor recommended I stopped using a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor - CGM to monitor my blood glucose levels.I have a positive mindset that owns my diagnosis and response to it.This is my journey and my relationship with diabetes.I follow a Low Carbohydrate, high fat, high protein diet which has been successful in reducing my need for Metformin medication, CGM blood glucose monitoring and supported my weight loss.This is a video - and a podcast is available describing how I assemble my daily breakfast comprising whole foods, nutritious foods.Other meal preparations will come in the future Full details of the nutrient value in this meal are in the Blog Post on my website - www.markaashford.com

Daylight Savings Time changeover health myths busted; A doctor breaks her ankle and is billed $64,000 in uncovered expenses; Vitamin D shields life-prolonging telomeres, may help depression; The vaunted DASH Diet for hypertension faces off against low-carb alternative; The critical first 1000 days after conception—early life sugar avoidance yields major later life health dividends; Do you really need hot water to disinfect your hands?

On this episode of the Daily Wellness Podcast, I interview Dr. Jeff Hockings, cofounder of a patented type 2 diabetes reversal program. Dr. Hockings breaks down why type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle-driven condition, how it can be reversed (not cured) with targeted diet, coaching, supplements and accountability, and what real-life outcomes look like when people commit to change. If you or someone you love is managing blood sugar, this conversation offers practical hope and a clear path forward.Main points:Types of diabetes: distinction between type 1 (autoimmune), type 2 (lifestyle/adult-onset, reversible) and the emerging “type 3” link to Alzheimer's/dementia.Causes and patterns: long-term high-carb/high-sugar diets, hidden sugars, sedentary lifestyle and societal factors (fast food, screen time) drive insulin resistance.Most primary care doctors are trained to manage diabetes with medications, not reverse it — reversing requires different nutritional and lifestyle approaches.What “reversal” means: achieving a non-diabetic A1C (≤ ~5.9) while off diabetic medications — essentially remission that requires lifelong maintenance of healthy habits.Program structure includes a personalized telemedicine program (3–7 months typical), assigned health coach, daily/weekly check-ins, Enjoy/Avoid food list, supplements, exercise guidance, and medication weaning coordinated with the patient's physician.Diet approach: similar to a paleo-style focus — whole foods (vegetables, fruits, meats), avoid high-carb processed foods and dairy/sugary items; not a restrictive calorie-counting diet, but sustainable lifelong eating patterns.Role of supplements and exercise.Benefits beyond glucose: improved blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney function, sleep, energy, sexual function (ED improvement), and reduced need for multiple medications.Success examples: dramatic cases shared — patients coming off high insulin doses, large A1C improvements, weight loss and resolution of neuropathy/blurred vision after following the program.GLP-1s and meds: GLP-1s and other pharmaceutical options are treatments (and increasingly popular), but they are not a reversal — they carry side effects and are not a substitute for lifestyle-based remission.Prediabetes is usually easy to reverse with simpler interventions; routine annual lab work is key for early detection.The program is telemedicine-based, available across the U.S., with a money-back guarantee if prescribed steps are followed and reversal is not achieved.Connect with Dr. Jeff HockingsWebsite and webinar: https://diabetesreversalgroup.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diabetesreversalgroup/Please take 1 minute to show your support!  Apple Podcasts: Sign in and scroll to the bottom to review!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-wellness-podcast/id1651051841Spotify: Leave a rating and follow the show!

I am not a doctor. I do not provide medical advice. Always refer to your doctor for authoritative advice. I am a Type 2 Diabetic.  I was diagnosed in December 2022. Subsequently, I made numerous Lifestyle changes and by November 2023 my doctor ended my diabetes medication. I continued monitoring my blood glucose levels using a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor—CGM. By April 2025, my doctor stopped the requirement to wear a CGM. With lifestyle changes and diligence, it was possible to reverse my diabetes naturally. I realized that if I had made the same changes over the previous 25–30 years, preventing my Type 2 Diabetes would have been entirely possible. Diabetes is one of the largest and fastest growing medical illnesses in all parts of the world. Preventing and reversing it when it has manifested is one of the biggest medical and personal challenges we face today.  This is my story and my journey.Carbohydrates and Diabetes BookeBookhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0FY7X2GTDPaperback bookhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/1997505304Audio Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXDZ2LYB

What if the biggest health crisis of your life became the turning point that saved it? Chris Reade joins me today with a story to share — including what he discovered that completely flipped the medical narrative that type 2 diabetes is not a lifelong sentence, but instead a reversible condition and he found the science to prove it. Chris Reade is an entrepreneur, technologist, author, and avid determined researcher who uncovered the truth about type 2 diabetes and metabolic health. I don't know about you, but I imagined this would be a complicated subject — and it absolutely blew my mind when he shared two simple words that changed the diabetes game for him. He's here now to give you hope that healing isn't out of reach. 

In this bonus episode, Dr. Kahn sits down with Dr. William Hsu, Chief Medical Officer at L-Nutra (Prolon) and former Harvard Medical School faculty member, for a fascinating look at how fasting can help put Type 2 diabetes into remission. Dr. Hsu explains why muscle mass is crucial for managing diabetes — it's where glucose gets absorbed — and how the Fasting Mimicking Diet (just five days a month for six or more months) can lead to incredible results. The program not only supports blood sugar control but also helps preserve muscle and target belly fat, which is exactly what you want from healthy weight loss.

Every 8 seconds someone dies from complications of Type 2 Diabetes... Many people accept the medical model that Type two diabetes is a progressive disease that will only worsen but along the way can be managed with medications. Type two IS progressive if you continue to do the things you are doing that got you there in the first place. But what if there were things you could do to not only prevent Type II diabetes, but even reverse it to the point where it not longer exists in those that have it? What if you didn't even have to go to the doctor for this help?That is where "Diabetes Reversal Group" comes in. Dr. Jeffrey Hockings is the founder and CEO of Diabetes Reversal Group.

Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that Type 2 Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder, influenced by several interconnected factors such as genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and stress. He highlighted that even people who appear lean or fit can develop diabetes due to visceral fat—the hidden fat that accumulates around internal organs and disrupts metabolism. Dr. Gupta elaborated that unexplained weight loss in diabetes often occurs when insulin deficiency causes glucose to be excreted through urine. However, he cautioned that persistent or sudden weight loss may sometimes signal other underlying conditions such as tuberculosis or cancer and should not be ignored. He also discussed sarcopenia—the loss of muscle mass commonly seen in people with diabetes—and emphasized the importance of sufficient protein intake, muscle-building resistance exercise, regular physical activity, and a well-balanced diet in preserving muscle strength and metabolic health. Proper exercise, he noted, improves insulin sensitivity and overall blood sugar control. Concluding his address, Dr. Gupta warned that individuals whose blood sugar levels remain above 180 mg/dL (HbA1c > 7%) for long periods are at higher risk of weight loss and other severe complications. He urged everyone to adopt a proactive lifestyle with mindful eating, exercise, and regular medical check-ups for long-term diabetes management.

Type 2 diabetes directly damages your heart's ability to make energy, leaving you more vulnerable to fatigue, swelling, and heart failure Human heart tissue studies show that mitochondria — the power plants of your cells — lose key components in diabetic hearts, forcing the heart to beat with less fuel Fat and sugar metabolism both become inefficient, and backup fuels fail to provide support, leaving your heart stranded without reliable energy sources Structural changes inside the heart, including scar-like collagen buildup and weaker calcium-handling proteins, make each heartbeat less coordinated and less powerful You can take action by cutting linoleic acid (LA) from your diet, choosing the right carbohydrates, limiting environmental toxins, using sunlight strategically, and tracking your insulin resistance with HOMA-IR to protect your heart's energy systems

The emergency department offers critical access to health care in our broken system. An important skillset of the modern emergency medicine physician is a set of low-risk, low-time commitment, high-benefit interventions for the management of chronic diseases. In this episode, we discuss the diagnosis and management of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, asthma, alcohol use disorder, and tobacco use disorder from the emergency department.

In part 1 and 2 we explored the document “Person-Centered Conversations: Weight Management and Type 2 Diabetes” that was put out by the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) as a “framework” document. Reader Emily wrote in to ask if I would analyze it as she has recently been told to use it in her work as a diabetes educator.

Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot regulate blood sugar properly. There are different types of diabetes, each with unique causes and treatment needs. Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children or young people when the pancreas stops producing insulin completely, making lifelong insulin injections necessary. Type 2 diabetes, more common in adults but increasingly seen in children, occurs when insulin is produced but does not work effectively due to insulin resistance. It may initially be controlled through diet, exercise, and tablets, but many patients eventually require insulin. Gestational diabetes typically develops during pregnancy and often disappears after delivery, yet both the mother and child remain at higher risk of developing diabetes later. Secondary diabetes can occur due to pancreatic infections, steroid use, alcohol, or chronic pancreatitis etc. Another form, known as NODAT (New Onset Diabetes After Transplant), has also been identified. Malnutrition-related diabetes (Type 5) arises when poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy prevents proper development of the child's pancreas, leading to early beta cell failure in adult life. A condition called “double diabetes” is also seen when children with Type 1 diabetes develop the features of Type 2 due to obesity. Diagnosis for Type 1DM often involves a C-peptide test, which measures how much insulin the body is still making. Importantly, early and strict sugar control provides lasting benefits, known as the Legacy Effect and Good Glycemic Memory, helping prevent complications of the kidney, heart, eyes, nerves, and other organs in subsequent years of life. Good glucose control also keeps mitochondria healthy, ensuring better long-term health. In addition, new GLP-1 analogs such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide have shown benefits for weight reduction and organ protection, though they should only be taken under medical guidance.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS October 1st, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode examines a critical 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 966 type 2 diabetic participants, revealing a sobering truth about intermittent fasting: while it produces remarkable short-term benefits, these gains completely disappear after discontinuation. Dr. Scott and Tommy analyze how various fasting protocols (time-restricted eating, fast-mimicking diets, periodic fasting) significantly reduced A1C levels, fasting blood glucose, and body weight in under three months - but all parameters returned to pre-intervention levels within three months of stopping. This research powerfully illustrates why fasting must be approached as a permanent lifestyle change rather than a temporary diet solution. The hosts address the staggering diabetes epidemic: 38 million diagnosed Americans, 9 million undiagnosed, and 98 million with prediabetes - totaling 145 million Americans on the diabetes spectrum. Learn why the "rebound effect" occurs when fasting habits aren't sustained, and discover practical strategies for long-term adherence through personal anecdotes about adapting fasting to real-life situations like family dinners and social pressures. The episode introduces the concept of "momentary maintenance" - deliberate pauses in fat loss to build confidence in weight control rather than viewing plateaus as failures. This research validates that consistency trumps perfection, emphasizing that intermittent fasting works brilliantly when maintained but requires the same ongoing commitment as any other health practice to preserve its metabolic benefits. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.
