Jun 17, 2025 Episode 82
Dr Jedha

In this listener Q&A episode, Dr. Jedha answers your most pressing questions about managing type 2 diabetes—from everyday food choices to medication side effects and everything in between. 

Is lactose-free milk really better? Can red wine help with fasting blood sugar? What about supplements like lion’s mane for neuropathy or products marketed as “low-carb” like Atkins snacks? And foods and drinks like chickpeas and V8 juice, what's the deal here? We break it all down in plain, practical terms.

Plus, we tackle a particularly important and sensitive topic: the growing reports of Ozempic-related side effects, including nausea, digestive issues, and sexual health concerns like ED. If you’re taking Ozempic or considering it, this is an important segment you don’t want to miss.
