Kristie Messerli joins me this week to do a little myth busting and share some incredible insight into the world of Type 2 Diabetes management and prevention.
Kristie is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator who has a passion for teaching people with Type 2 Diabetes how to manage their blood sugars without restrictive diets, cutting carbs or blaming their weight.
In the episode, we chat about
- How a low carb diet can actually INCREASE insulin resistance
- Why no foods are off-limit for her clients (including those with sugar)
- The role of weight in the development of Type 2 Diabetes
- Risks for developing Type 2 Diabetes
- Why it's normal for blood sugars to spike
- Tips for managing & preventing diabetes
This was such a great conversation and will be so enlightening for anyone who has been struggling with a fear of sugar, carbs, or shame around weight gain and a diabetes diagnosis.
