Diabetes Facts: Best Diet to Lower Blood Sugar | Dr. Hana Kahleova May 09, 2023

Show notes

A diabetes expert answers two important questions: What diet is best for treating diabetes? And how can you tell whether the advice about diabetes you've seen is credible?

Dr. Hana Kahleova, a member of an expert health panel that creates guidelines for all Europeans to follow, discusses the new recommendations from the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.

Dr. Kahleova reveals why minimally processed foods, including fruit, is optimal for regulating blood sugar while low-carbohydrate diets that are big on red and processed meat can make diabetes worse.

She also shares how you can tell whether something you've read or been told about diabetes is credible when she joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
