#374: Do You Even Need to Manage Blood Sugar on Ozempic? Graham's Honest Opinion
Description
Graham's been on Ozempic for seven weeks. He came into this episode with three words.
"There is no taking care of your blood sugar anymore."
That's a bold statement. And as his co-host and someone who coaches people through diabetes every day, I naturally had questions. A lot of them.
From there the conversation goes wide. We debate what exercise actually is and isn't — and why walking the dog around the block doesn't count the same way a hill sprint does. We revisit the CGM debate and what it means to manage diabetes without continuous data.
So much to unpack in this episode...
