REVERSING TYPE 2 DIABETES: WHAT NURSES NEED TO KNOW

Course overview

HEADLINES FLOOD OUR PATIENTS' SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS DAILY, PROMISING QUICK FIXES TO A COMPLEX CHRONIC DISEASE. BUT WHAT DOES THE SCIENCE ACTUALLY SAY ABOUT TYPE 2 DIABETES REVERSAL OR REMISSION? THIS EPISODE CUTS THROUGH THE HYPE AND EXAMINES THE EVIDENCE BEHIND LOW-CARB DIETS, INTERMITTENT FASTING, BARIATRIC SURGERY, AND INTENSIVE LIFESTYLE INTERVENTIONS. WE'LL EXPLORE WHAT "REVERSAL" REALLY MEANS, WHO MIGHT ACHIEVE IT, HOW SUSTAINABLE THESE APPROACHES ARE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY--HOW HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS CAN HAVE HONEST, EVIDENCE-BASED CONVERSATIONS WITH PATIENTS WHO ARE BOTH HOPEFUL AND OVERWHELMED BY CONFLICTING INFORMATION.
