In this listener Q&A episode, we tackle some of the most real and pressing questions about life with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. From whether sugar-free cordial is really safe, to how to test your blood sugar after eating fruit, to why numbers sometimes stay high even hours after eating, you’ll hear practical, science-based answers you can use right away.

We also explore what “normal” blood sugar targets actually look like when you have insulin resistance, why fasting sugar and A1c don’t always match up, and how intermittent fasting can sometimes bring unexpected side effects like constipation. One listener opens up about the fear that comes with a new diagnosis, and we look at natural alternatives if you can’t tolerate Metformin.
