When Charles was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he was shocked and overwhelmed by the numbers. Having watched his father experience serious diabetes complications, including losing a leg, Charles knew he wanted to take a different path. But where should he start?

In this episode of Type 2 Diabetes Talk, Dr. Jedha talks with Charles about how he went from an A1c of 6.5% to 5.6%, lost 35 pounds (16 kg), and improved his cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Charles shares how joining DMP helped him understand his numbers, learn about carbohydrates and nutrition, and make practical changes to his diet and lifestyle that he could maintain.

You'll also hear Charles's advice as a longtime college tennis coach on setting achievable goals, why consistency matters more than perfection — a message that Dr Jedha emphasizes, and the value of ongoing education and support.

Dr. Jedha closes with three important lessons from his journey that anyone living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes can put into practice.

Charles's story is a powerful reminder that a type 2 diabetes diagnosis can be the beginning of a new chapter, if you choose to take that opportunity. Meaningful change is possible, one achievable step at a time.

Micronutrients may be needed in tiny amounts, but they play an enormous role in how your body functions, including how it processes glucose and responds to insulin. And research suggests that deficiencies in several important vitamins and minerals are common in people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

In this episode, Dr Jedha explores why these deficiencies occur and takes a closer look at vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and other important nutrients. Micronutrients are important for diabetes!

You'll also learn why food quality matters, when supplements may be useful, and why good diabetes nutrition isn't only about reducing carbohydrates. It's also about giving your body the nutrients it needs to function at its best. When you do that, blood sugar and metabolism have the neccesary fuel to heal, rebalance and renew.
