Episode 12: Part I - The path to avoiding Type II Diabetes: Signs your blood sugar is dysregulated
This is the first episode in a two part series all about Diabetes. About half of the adults in the United States have Prediabetes or Diabetes, but about a quarter of those individuals don't know they have it!
How can this be?! It's not the fault of the individuals; we have a broken system. My goal is to help you learn what having dysregulated blood sugar feels like and looks like so then you can start taking steps to improve your blood sugar and insulin levels.
Blood sugar is a spectrum. One one end we have regulated blood sugar and on the other, type II Diabetes. Diabetes is completely preventable (and it is reversible too!). Preventing it is easier than reversing it though. Tune in to today's show to learn to identify the signs so your blood sugar can stay or return to healthy levels instead of advancing toward Diabetes.
I also discuss why it's so important to avoid getting Diabetes. It's my understanding that most people don't know what the consequences of having diabetes is. Did you know that Diabetes is the lead cause of blindness and kidney disease in adults? Did you know that even having prediabetes increases your risk of having cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia?! This is some serious stuff.
My top goal is to help all of you understand why blood sugar regulation is so important, how to recognize the signs, AND how to test for it and begin to improve it (which we will cover in Part II of this series).
