The Healthy Diabetic
Welcome to The healthy Diabetic Podcast, each week I talk about how to navigate the complexities of diabetes. I interview doctors, Endo's, dietitians, CDE's, technology leaders, caregivers, and of course anybody who is affected by diabetes. This show is for you if you're looking for safe, educational, and engaging conversations. I promise to brighten your day, and you'll be sure to leave educated, supported, and guided on your way to a healthier and happier life with diabetes.
Remember, your only job as a diabetic is to figure out what works for you!
See you inside!

In Episode 331 of The Healthy Diabetic Podcast, Coach Ken is joined by Graham Hubbard for Episode 003 of the live show, where they dive into how people with diabetes actually make decisions—and why some of the most common metrics may be missing the bigger picture.
The conversation covers Time in Range vs A1C, redefining what a personal blood sugar “target” really means, and why stability and variability matter more than chasing perfect numbers. Ken also shares real-world insights on Afrezza, insurance challenges, CGM access, early screening for Type 1 diabetes, and the pros and cons of modern intervention strategies.
This episode is raw, honest, and full of practical perspective—exactly what this new live format is designed to deliver.
