Description

Diabetes and prediabetes are increasingly common among older adults, with nearly one-third affected by diabetes and about half living with prediabetes.

This episode of Aging Forward features registered dietitian Laura Knudsen, who shares evidence-based strategies for managing diabetes through nutrition, weight loss, regular physical activity, and long-term lifestyle changes. She explains how sustainable diet and movement routines can improve blood sugar control, reduce reliance on medications, and even reverse early indicators of type 2 diabetes.
