Summary
Hear from two men who have redefined what it means to be diagnosed with diabetes!
Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, are both living with Type 1 diabetes and eat more fruit in a day than the average person eats in a week. How could that be?
The co-founders of Mastering Diabetes join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll on this special episode of The Exam Room podcast in honor of National Diabetes Month.
Cyrus and Robby answer questions sent in to the Doctor's Mailbag that offer hope to the millions of people living with all forms of diabetes worldwide.
- What are the best vegetables that help diabetes?
- How many carbs should someone with diabetes eat?
- Is the "a little bit won't hurt" approach actually hurting your health?
- How does cholesterol affect diabetes?
- Can a plant-based diet help someone who has had diabetes for 15 years or longer?
- And many more!
