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.

    #47 - Rapid Fire Friday: Fasted workouts, food pairings, and medication exit strategies

    It’s the final Friday of March, which means it’s time for another lightening round of Rapid-Fire Friday, answering YOUR questions about diabetes remission! As a bonus this week, Brian insults Cory’s age by implying his bladder strength is not what it once was. Cory quickly gets things back on the rails, and the two of them tackle these three listener questions: -Does food pairing to control blood sugar spikes work in the long run to put diabetes remission if there is no net decrease in energy intake? Aka: Can I keep eating donuts as long as I eat it AFTER some protein to reduce my blood sugar spikes? -Are fasted workouts a good idea for people with Type 2 diabetes? -Why have I never heard of a medication exit strategy? Got a question for Rapid Fire Friday? Sent it to brianandcory@diabetesremissionpartners.com   Mentioned in the episode: Refer the podcast to three people and get a free gift from us! Just have the new listener send us a DM or a email! Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?   Grab your earbuds and listen in.

    #46 - The Health Halo Problem: Why “Healthy” Foods Are Wrecking Your Blood Sugar

    Just because a food is marketed as healthy doesn’t mean it supports your health, or your blood sugar. In this special episode recorded LIVE TOGETHER at Cory’s home in Tucson with Brian visiting, we break down the health halo effect, a common marketing trick that makes certain foods appear healthier than they actually are. Words like protein, low-fat, keto, or gluten-free can make us feel better about what we’re eating, even when the food itself isn’t doing us any favors. We talk about some of the most common “health halo” foods and explain why they can quietly lead to overeating and blood sugar spikes. You’ll learn: • What the health halo effect is  • Why certain labels make us eat more  • The difference between marketing and real nutrition  • How to spot foods that actually support blood sugar health If you’ve ever bought something because it looked healthy and later wondered if it really was… this episode is for you.

    #45 - 5 Places That Quietly Sabotage Your Blood Sugar

    You don’t struggle with eating blood sugar friendly foods because you lack discipline. You struggle because your environment is stacked against you. In this episode, we break down five places that quietly sabotage your blood sugar, including one that surprises almost everyone. From hospitals and airports to office break rooms and youth sports events, modern food environments are designed for convenience, not blood sugar health. The wrong choice is easy. The right choice feels inconvenient. We’ll explain: • Why stress makes these places harder to navigate  • How “healthy” snack aisles can mislead you  • Why free food often “costs” the most  • And what to do about it without being extreme If you’ve ever found yourself somewhere and thought “There is NOTHING good for me here!” this episode is for you. If one of these locations hits home, send this episode to someone who needs it. Mentioned in the episode, Hava app for food tracking: https://www.hava.co/ Also, send us an email or DM for your own “Blood Sugar Friendly Packing List” that we talked about.

    #43 - Rapid Fire Friday: All About Intermittent Fasting

    Hi listeners! This Rapid-Fire Friday hits four questions you need to know the answer to on your road to remission! Inside this episode, we answer the following questions: I lost 2lbs a week doing 16:8 intermittent fasting, but then the weight loss stopped after three weeks. Why did this happen? My doctor says intermittent fasting is dangerous for Type 2 diabetes. Is my doctor right? Do artificial sweeteners break a fast? Is intermittent fasting even good? I saw an article that says it’s no better than calorie counting.   If fasting has been on your mind, or you have ever thought about trying it for your blood sugar, this episode is a can’t miss!   Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?   Grab your earbuds and listen in.

    #42- 4 Reasons Diabetes Is a Muscle Problem, Not Just a Blood Sugar Problem

    Diabetes is usually framed as a blood sugar problem. But blood sugar is what we measure, not where the problem starts. In this episode, we explain four reasons diabetes is a muscle problem, not just a blood sugar problem, and why muscle plays a central role in glucose control and insulin resistance. We cover: Why muscle is the primary place glucose is storedHow GLUT4 acts as the “door” that lets sugar into muscle…without insulin!How modern life reduces muscle’s ability to do its jobWhy muscle functions as metabolic insurance over timeThis isn’t about lifting heavy weights or following extreme programs.  It’s about understanding how muscle supports blood sugar control and why building metabolic capacity matters. If managing blood sugar has felt frustrating or incomplete, this episode offers a clearer framework. We also mention getting ahold of our steady strengthening workout to start building your muscle!

    #41- 5 Reasons You Know What to Eat for Better Blood Sugar (But Still Don’t)

    Most people already know what they should eat to improve their blood sugar. That’s not the problem. In this episode, we break down five reasons knowing what to eat doesn’t always translate into doing it, and why that’s not a character flaw. We cover: ·       How too many choices (the buffet effect) sabotage decisions ·       Why environment beats willpower ·       How stress hijacks the brain and drives quick-energy eating ·       The trap of comfort eating disguised as self-care ·       Why too many rules create paralysis instead of progress This is not about trying harder.  It’s about fewer decisions, better defaults, and building a system that actually works. If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” this episode is for you.
