Diabetes Remission Roadmap | Reverse Type 2, Lower A1C, Medication-Free Living, Weight Loss
Are you living with type 2 diabetes…
But feel like no one is really listening to you?
Have you been told your A1C is “in range,” yet you still feel frustrated, weaker than you should, and stuck on medications you never planned to take for life?
Do you feel managed instead of helped — rushed through appointments, handed another prescription, and sent on your way?
If so, you’re in the right place.
The Diabetes Remission Roadmap Podcast is for capable, motivated adults with type 2 diabetes who refuse to accept “lifelong management” as their future.
Hosted by two pharmacists who’ve worked inside the healthcare system, this podcast exists to do what most appointments never had time for:
- Treat you like a human, not a diagnosis
- Explain why your blood sugar is high — not just how to medicate it
- Show you how strength, food, and daily habits can change the root problem
Each week, we break down:
- How to lower blood sugar without piling on more meds
- Why “A1C in range” isn’t the same as true health
- How to rebuild strength, confidence, and control
- What your doctor should have explained on day one
No hype. No fad diets. No shame.
Just clear, practical guidance from pharmacists who believe you deserve more than lifelong prescriptions — and who know remission is possible with the right plan.
If you want to feel strong again, make decisions with confidence, and work toward a future with fewer (or no) medications…
This podcast is for you.
Now, grab some earbuds, and let's walk this road to remission together.
