Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Diabetes

In this episode of The Diabetic Toolbox, Renee explains the connection between cholesterol, triglycerides, and type 2 diabetes, with a focus on women’s heart health. Many women are told their cholesterol is normal, yet still struggle with insulin resistance, fatigue, weight gain, and unstable blood sugar. You will learn how insulin resistance affects fat metabolism, and which lab markers matter beyond LDL. Renee also shares simple, sustainable lifestyle shifts that support healthier blood sugar and cholesterol without restrictive dieting or excessive exercise. What You Will Learn • Why type 2 diabetes increases heart disease risk • How insulin resistance raises triglycerides • Why normal cholesterol does not always mean low risk • Simple habits that support blood sugar and heart health If you’re tired of managing your blood sugar on your own, guessing what to eat, dealing with crashes, and feeling like your body isn’t responding the way it should, you don’t have to keep doing this alone.
