Welcome back to the Diet Doctor Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Brett Schur. Today I'm joined by Dr. Bakke Paul.

Now, Dr. Paul is a board-certified endocrinologist and also has a master's in nutrition. And she's

the metabolic disease director at Capital Family Medicine and the medical director of the

Lifestyle Medical Center in Raleigh, Durham.

Now, what makes Dr. Paul really special to me is, is, one, her journey.

She's had this journey of, you know, being an anachronologist,

but not being trained anything about reversing or putting type 2 diabetes into remission,

and not trained at all about low-carb nutrition or use of CGMs for that purpose. But now here she is

on the cutting edge, really, of treating type 2 diabetes. And she has so many wonderful clinical

pearls about what she does to help treat people with type 2 diabetes. That this is an episode for any

doctor or PA or nurse practitioner,

anybody who manages or treats or works with somebody with type 2 diabetes

because there are so many clinical pros.

But at the same time, from a patient perspective,

there are so many tips and tricks and tools that you're going to learn from this as well

about things you can talk to your clinician about to help manage your type 2 diabetes.

We talk a lot about the role of nutrition, but we also talk about the role of exercise and how

important that is. We talk about different types of nutrition and we talk about tools and ways

to get gratification and reward and knowing that you're doing a good job and seeing your progress and how important that is

for treating type 2 diabetes and practical tips about how to how to factor this into your

clinical practice or how to factor it into your lifestyle and ways to see success.

So this is a great, I'd call it a master class on the new treatment of type 2 diabetes.
