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 diagnosisExplain why your blood sugar is high — not just how to medicate itShow 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 medsWhy “A1C in range” isn’t the same as true healthHow to rebuild strength, confidence, and controlWhat 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.

    #55- From 278lbs to a Marathon at 58: The power of Satiety, Simplicity and Self-Accountability

    We talk with Chris Cornell (aka Biggest Comeback). At 278 pounds in his 50s, Chris knew something had to change. What followed wasn’t another extreme diet or complicated system. It was a simple, repeatable approach built around satiety, self-accountability, and becoming his own experiment.  In this can’t miss episode, Chris and Cory talk about why hunger control beats willpower and how a few simple food rules can drive lasting weight loss and better metabolic health. We connect his comeback story to type 2 diabetes remission by focusing on satiety, muscle, and realistic habits that lower the odds of sliding back into “managed forever.” The conversation covers:  • Type 2 diabetes as a muscle and energy storage problem  • Chris’s 278-pound wake-up moment and the rebound trap of white-knuckle calorie restriction  • Low carb as a tool for satiety rather than a rigid identity  • Why calorie counting fails when hunger and cravings stay high  • N=1 experimentation and adapting general guidelines to real life  • Chris’s satiety rules including protein targets, carb range, and time boundaries  • Why fasting can backfire before food quality is fixed  • A simple starting step: prioritize satiating protein-rich foods. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too late”… or that health has to be complicated to make your own Biggest Comeback… This one’s for you.

    #54 - 15 Budget Friendly Foods That Help Put Type 2 Diabetes in Remission (And Why Junk Food Isn’t Cheaper)

    We do the real-world math on budget grocery shopping for type 2 diabetes remission and show why “healthy food is expensive” is often a myth when you compare what actually keeps you full. We share 15 affordable staples and contrast them with common junk foods to explain why cost per satiety matters more than cost per pound.     The bigger takeaway is a mindset shift: don’t shop for the cheapest calories, shop for the cheapest way to not be hungry. We also get practical about real life, time, and taste, sharing shortcuts like crock pot meals, frozen veggies, bagged salads, and easy flavor upgrades with sauces, spices, and pre-mixed seasoning packets.  If you’ve been struggling at the grocery store, this is the episode you can’t miss!  Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?    Grab your earbuds and listen in.

    #52 - 3 Reasons Your Fasting Sugar Is Stuck (Even If You’re Doing Everything Right)

    Your post-meal numbers are finally improving, your A1C feels like it’s heading the right direction, and you’re doing the work… so why does your fasting blood sugar still look the same every morning? If you’ve ever stared at that morning glucose reading and felt defeated, we want to take the blame and confusion off your plate and put a clear plan back in your hands. In this episode, we break down why fasting blood sugar can be the slowest number to improve and what it actually tells you about what’s going on in your body. We’ll explain: Why fasting glucose behaves differently than post-meal glucoseThe role of the liver and overnight glucose productionWhy improvement isn’t always linearWhat it means when other numbers are improving firstIf you’ve been frustrated by your morning blood sugar numbers, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening, and why you might be closer than you think.

    #51- Diabetes Remission Is A Team Sport

    If you’ve ever left an appointment thinking, “They didn’t hear me,” you already know why so many type 2 diabetes plans fail, even when the advice is technically correct. We connect a little league pitching breakthrough to the real reason many people stay stuck with type 2 diabetes: the plan never matches the person.  We lay out how the right team, the right questions, and small tactical steps create the follow-through that moves the needle on blood sugar improvement and builds a path toward diabetes remission. You’ll see how progress happens when the guidance fits the person, not when you collect more instructions.    You’ll hear all of this plus how Brian and Cory’s coaching styles differ and complement each other, when and how to seek a 2nd opinion while avoiding conflicting extremes, and how to get curious and learn rather than spiral after making a mistake.

    #50 - The Most Overlooked Blood Sugar Habit Has Nothing to Do With Food or Exercise

    We talk a lot about diet, exercise, and blood sugar on this podcast. But one of the most powerful influences on blood sugar and long-term health is something much simpler: relationships. In this special episode, recorded TOGETHER live from Cory’s home in Tucson while Brian visited, we step back from nutrition and talk about the role that connection, friendship, and community play in blood sugar and overall health. From lowering stress to improving habits and resilience, the people around us can shape our health more than we realize. We also talk about why modern life makes meaningful connection harder, and why investing in relationships may be one of the most overlooked health habits. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t a workout or a diet change. It’s spending time with people you care about.
