62: 2025 Diabetes Guidelines Investigated

Type 2 Diabetes Talk

Are the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines helping people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes—or are they falling behind the science?
In this episode, we take a critical look at the latest updates, uncovering what’s helpful, what’s missing, and where outdated thinking might be holding people back. From the confusion surrounding carbohydrate recommendations to the surprising shift in guidance on fats and protein, we’ll dive into what you really need to know to manage your health effectively.

You’ll discover why low carbohydrate diets remain the most effective strategy for improving blood sugar, how digital health programs like the T2Diet Program are changing the game, and why monitoring your B12 levels is critical if you take metformin. Plus, learn why sleep is now firmly in the spotlight as a key factor for diabetes prevention and management.
