#275 Improve sugar control and put type 2 diabetes into remission with diet, exercise and lifestyle medicine with Dr Rupy Aujla

27th Nov 2024

I’m often asked by colleagues and patients for a full break down of what I say in clinic with patients with type 2 diabetes or who are at higher risk of this condition to help them better manage it before medications.

But it takes time. And no GP in the NHS or elsewhere has over an hour to explain this in enough detail such that people can understand how to take action themselves.

The recommendations for medical professionals is for them to explore diet and lifestyle options before turning to pharmaceuticals for the management of type 2 diabetes. But with less than 10 minutes per appointment, this is an impossible task.

This is the basis of today's podcast. If I had an hour with you, or your loved one, this is how I would explain what type 2 diabetes is, why sugar control is so important and what things you can do to prevent or better manage the condition and even potentially put it into remission.

I would love to know your comments and feedback on today's episode, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment on YouTube and do share this with anyone who you feel could benefit from the information.
