Show Notes
Loved this conversation with my friend and fellow colleague - Isaac Pohlman - on all things related to diabetes and managing your blood sugar. Isaac is a fellow Dietitian who has Type 1 Diabetes.
He primarily works with adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and chronic symptoms that include chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia, reactive hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, stress and poor sleeping patterns.
Topics discussed on this episode:
-Isaac's story - managing health issues from a young age and being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes,
-Common challenges when being diagnosed with health conditions and how to navigate it.
-Differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
-Importance of managing your BG levels.
-Nutrition considerations + why carbs can be so important.
-The role of micronutrients in blood sugar management.
-How to improve your current baseline when pursuing your health goals.
-Non-diabetics using CGMs to track their blood sugars.
-Importance of where/who you get your health information from.
-Detriments of not getting enough sleep and how that impacts your blood sugars.
+ so many things in between.
This is a jam packed episode (a little longer than my normal podcasts) that's relevant to everyone.. not just type 1 or 2 diabetics.
We appreciate you listening along!
