Summary

Welcome to the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience! In this episode, you will hear how Jessica transformed her diet from a low-carb diet to a low-fat plant-based whole foods diet. Even on a low-carb diet, Jessica still had blood sugar numbers consistently over 300. However, by following the recommendations of Mastering Diabetes coaches to increase her carbohydrate intake and lower her fat intake, Jessica finally has control over her health and hugely improved her insulin sensitivity. And a pleasant side effect of this transformation was her ability to discontinue use of Metformin and weight loss!
