Welcome to The Glucose Never Lies® Podcast!
In this episode, we’re laying down the fundamentals of diabetes management—the essential principles you need to understand to make informed decisions about your health. We’ll break down:
- What happens when you eat carbohydrates and how your body processes glucose
- Why insulin behaves differently in type 1 diabetes, leading to post-meal spikes
- How physical activity supercharges insulin, making it work more effectively
- The science behind high-fat meals and why they cause insulin resistance
Whether you're living with diabetes or supporting someone who is, this episode serves as your go-to reference for making sense of the science behind glucose control. Plus, we’ll be sharing actionable strategies to help you optimize your insulin and activity levels for better outcomes.
