Episode Details

Living with diabetes is a challenge. It's a disease that requires constant attention and awareness of how your body is affected by the 100+ decisions you have to make every day. Each choice you make needs specific action that can have a lasting impact on your day, week, and life. The goal is to improve insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin resistance.
