  Oct 1, 202626 min

  Does fasting mean you have to skip meals? If you have type 2 diabetes, the answer matters more than you think. In this episode I explain the difference between an eating window and skipping a meal, what happens to your hunger hormones and blood sugar when you skip breakfast, what the research on time-restricted eating actually tested, and a simple one-day experiment you can try this week.

  026: Your Blood Sugar Is "Normal." But Is It Really?

  Jun 18, 202616 min

  Connect with me: If your doctor has ever told you your blood sugar is normal and you walked out still feeling off, this episode is going to explain why. I'm Stephanie, a nurse practitioner and type 2 diabetes coach who lowered my own A1C from 8.1 to 5.4, and I want you to understand what your numbers actually mean, not just whether they fall inside a standard reference range. In this episode I'm breaking down the full picture: fasting blood sugar, post-meal spikes, and A1C together. Because looking at just one number in isolation is exactly how early blood sugar problems get missed for years. You deserve to know what optimal looks like, not just what's technically "not diabetic yet." In this episode: What fasting blood sugar, post-meal glucose, and A1C actually measure The difference between a "normal" lab result and a truly healthy number The blood sugar patterns that signal a problem long before a diagnosis What I look for in my own patients' labs and why it matters Join the Ditching Diabetes community: https://www.skool.com/diabetesmaven/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diabetes_maven?igsh=eGx6MWlzeGVoYXA2&utm_source=qr Newsletter: https://diabetes-maven.kit.com/thesweetspot Listen on Spotify/Apple: https://open.spotify.com/show/6gMqgLwPqnCEW6umlWhwHX?si=nvNBYNFpQWWlP0HJRNMIug https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ditching-diabetes-with-diabetes-maven/id1824314901

  Jun 11, 202623 min

  If you're on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy, or you're thinking about starting one, this episode is going to give you what your doctor's appointment probably didn't. I'm Stephanie, a nurse practitioner and type 2 diabetes coach who lowered my own A1C from 8.1 to 5.4, and I want you to actually understand what's happening in your body when you take these medications. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how GLP-1 medications work to lower blood sugar, what that means for your A1C, and why the medication alone is only part of the picture. Whether you're already on a GLP-1 or still deciding if it's right for you, this episode gives you the clinical clarity you deserve. In this episode: How GLP-1 medications lower blood sugar at the cellular level What to expect for your A1C on a GLP-1 Why blood sugar control still requires more than just the medication What I tell my own patients before they start
