In this episode, I talk about diabetes and break down Type 1 and Type 2 so they're super easy to understand.
I start by getting to the basics of what diabetes actually is. Then, I dive into Type 1, which is an autoimmune condition that usually shows up early on and Type 2, which is often caused by how you live your life and your body being resistant to insulin.
I give some tips on how to manage it all day-to-day, like checking your blood sugar, eating right and staying active.
My goal is to create a community where everyone understands different health, fitness and nutrition jargon at a more easier to understand level.
So come along and let's get into the nitty-gritty of diabetes. We want to arm you with the knowledge you need to live a healthier life.
