Exam Room Exposed

How to AVOID Diabetes

1 in 10 Americans are diabetic and about 1 in 3 are pre-diabetic or insulin resistant.  Diabetes leads to obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, early death and much more. The GOOD NEWS is you can control your blood sugar and reverse pre-diabetes, and prevent yourself from becoming  a Type 2 Diabetic. Today I bring Lisa Wittenberg RDN, certified diabetes educator into my exam room to educate and inform all of us. I have been insulin resistant for over 10 years and by adjusting my diet I have kept my blood sugar within normal limits, and avoided diabetes. You can do it too! It's not FAT that causes obesity and diabetes, it's SUGAR! Grab a pen and paper, take notes and start your healthy journey today.
