    108: What Is Type 3 Diabetes?

    Did you know that living with type 2 diabetes can increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 150%? Some researchers have even started calling it “type 3 diabetes,” a term that points to the powerful connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar and brain health. In this episode, we cover what type 3 diabetes really means, why scientists are exploring this link, and what it could mean for you. You’ll learn how insulin resistance in the brain leads to plaques, tangles, inflammation and energy failure, and most importantly, what you can do to lower your risk. From practical nutrition strategies to emerging research on the gut-brain connection, this conversation gives you evidence-based tools for prevention. Because what’s good for your blood sugar is also good for your brain!

    107: Karol Chooses Diet For Prediabetes Treatment

    When Karol was told she had prediabetes, she was shocked. With a strong family history of diabetes, she knew what was at stake, yet the advice she was given felt vague and unhelpful. Determined to avoid medications and blood tests, she turned to diet as her treatment, and the results speak for themselves. In this episode, Karol shares how she lowered her A1c from 5.8 to 5.3, improved her cholesterol, and even eliminated painful leg symptoms that her doctors could not explain. Along the way, she discovered that food changes not only restored her health but also inspired her husband and daughters to join in, creating lasting benefits for the whole family. You’ll hear how clarity, consistency, and the right nutrition plan made all the difference for Karol, and why diet is one of the most powerful tools we have for treating prediabetes. Her story is proof that small, consistent changes can deliver big results.

    106: Diabetes Q&A #9: Meter Reading Differences, Illness & A1c, Thyroid Connection, Glucose-to-A1c, Fasting Variations, and More

    In this Q&A episode of Type 2 Diabetes Talk, Dr. Jedha answers questions from the DMP Community. Why do meter readings vary so much, even when testing just minutes apart? Can illness or thyroid problems affect your A1c? How do you deal with a spouse who refuses to eat vegetables? And what about dietary cholesterol, should you really be counting milligrams each day? You will also hear practical insights on what an average glucose of 8–9 mmol/L (144-162 mg/dL) means for A1c, how to understand UK A1c results like “42,” why fasting numbers can fluctuate even on the same meals, and how to lower A1c if exercise isn’t possible. These are real-life situations that so many people struggle with, and you will walk away with strategies you can put into action.

    105: 40/60 Metabolism Waves Explored

    What if aging didn’t happen gradually, but in sudden bursts that completely reset how your body works? In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from Stanford University showing that our bodies go through dramatic biological shifts at specific ages, the early 40s, around 60, and possibly even the late 70s.  These aren’t surface-level changes like wrinkles or gray hair; they’re shifts in the proteins and pathways that control how our body processes fats, carbohydrates and inflammation. For those living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, this research is especially relevant. These “waves” or “crests” of change happen in the very systems that regulate blood sugar, insulin resistance and influence long-term health risks. We’ll break down what happens at each stage, why it matters, and how it could explain why blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight sometimes feel harder to manage at certain ages.

    104: Can Diabetes Cause High Cholesterol?

    If your cholesterol is creeping up and you’ve been told to avoid eggs or cut the fat, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth most people never hear: in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol is not caused by fat you might eat, it’s a sign of deeper metabolic dysfunction.  In this episode, Dr. Jedha breaks down how insulin resistance alters your cholesterol profile and why standard tests often miss the full picture. You’ll learn what diabetic dyslipidemia really is, how high triglycerides, low HDL, and small dense LDL particles form, and what actually works to turn those numbers around.  We’ll also cover which tests are worth requesting, what your triglyceride to HDL ratio says about your health, and the key steps to lower cholesterol naturally, without unnecessary medications.
