Type 2 Diabetes Talk

Misinformation is everywhere. And unfortunately it can frequently come from the very health professionals that are meant to be there to serve you with the education and support you need.
In this episode, we delve into our community's most outlandish diabetes stories, featuring Ben's bizarre carb-loading conundrum and Ros's defiance of medical mediocrity—all in pursuit of their best health.
We peel back the layers of misdiagnosis and over-treatment, revealing why a second opinion can be your secret weapon against well-meaning but misguided medical advice.
We reveal alarming pieces of dietary and diabetes management advice and highlight why challenging the status quo can often be your best option.
This Diabetes Bloopers episode is a testament to the power of questioning and advocating for your own health, and you'll learn why sometimes, the best prescription is a healthy dose of skepticism.
