Episode Details

One of the treatments for diabetes is food. It is possible to reverse and eliminate diabetes by changing your diet.

On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro, authors of the new book, Mastering Diabetes.

The pair answer your questions in a wide-ranging discussion about the disease that affects millions of people. One out of every 10 people in the U.S. have diabetes while a staggering one out of three are prediabetic. The burden this places on the healthcare system is enormous with a whopping $327 billion dollars spent in 2017. And that number is expected to skyrocket to $500 billion over the next decade.

According to Khambatta and Barbaro, many of those cases are completely preventable and reversable by the adoption of a plant-based diet. That is what they're on the show to discuss with Chuck!

Among the questions answered:

• At what point do you start reducing insulin if you are a type 2 diabetic on a whole-food plant-based diet?

• Is it possible to have a normal A1C , but still have diabetes?

• When your culture is all about partying and bad food is everywhere, how can you make good decisions?

• Can steroids such as Prednisone cause diabetes?

• How does diabetes affect Alzheimer's disease?
