Diet Doctor Podcast #88:
The time has come to not just treat type 2 diabetes, but to reverse it. Dr. Bhakti Paul shares her knowledge of how to do this, both as a patient and as a clinician. She also shares ideas about how to change the perception within the world of endocrinology.
Dr. Bhakti Paul, MD, was taught that treating type 2 diabetes meant increasing insulin until the patient suffered a complication. Fortunately, she realized it didn't have to be that way. She set on a path to do better - to treat and reverse type 2 diabetes in all of her patients.

She combines low-carb nutrition with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to provide instant feedback to her patients and allows them to see the success they can and should expect.
But she was never taught to practice this way. She had to go on her own journey of discovery. Why doesn't everyone practice this way? Many challenges exist for clinicians and patients adopting this style of practice. Dr. Paul shares her experience and her advice to help us overcome those challenges.
After listening to this episode, you'll be inspired to stop "managing" your type 2 diabetes. Now, it's time to reverse it. And if your doctor doesn't see it this way, we have advice for how you can change that!
