Reversing Diabetes Q&A with Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro

One of the treatments for diabetes is food. It is possible to reverse and eliminate diabetes by changing your diet. On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro, authors of the new book, Mastering Diabetes. The pair answer your questions in a wide-ranging discussion about the disease that affects millions of people. One out of every 10 people in the U.S. have diabetes while a staggering one out of three are prediabetic. The burden this places on the healthcare system is enormous with a whopping $327 billion dollars spent in 2017. And that number is expected to skyrocket to $500 billion over the next decade. According to Khambatta and Barbaro, many of those cases are completely preventable and reversable by the adoption of a plant-based diet. That is what they're on the show to discuss with Chuck! Among the questions answered:   At what point do you start reducing insulin if you are a type 2 diabetic on a whole-food plant-based diet?   Is it possible to have a normal A1C , but still have diabetes?   When your culture is all about partying and bad food is everywhere, how can you make good decisions?   Can steroids such as Prednisone cause diabetes?   How does diabetes affect Alzheimer's disease? — — — Mastering Diabetes Book Order: https://amzn.to/2Pm6g5y — — — Chuck Carroll Twitter: @ChuckCarrollWLC IG: @ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Twitter: @PCRM IG: @PhysiciansCommittee Facebook: https://wghtloss.cc/PCRMFacebook — — — Dr. Cyrus Khambatta Twitter: @CyrusKPhD IG: @mangomannutrition Website: http://bit.ly/masterdib — — — Robby Barbaro, MPH Twitter: @masteringdib IG: @mindfuldiabeticrobby Facebook: http://bit.ly/masterdibFB — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or many other podcast providers.
