Type 2 Diabetes: Before the $640B Diagnosis

Type 2 diabetes doesn’t appear overnight.

In this episode, Alan C. North makes the case for looking beyond glucose numbers and paying attention to the metabolic changes that can build for years before diagnosis.

Explore insulin resistance, fasting insulin, carbohydrate tolerance, metabolic flexibility, magnesium, and ketones—and hear why the question may not be whether carbohydrates are “good” or “bad,” but how many your body can handle.

Alan also shares a simple post-meal strategy: take a 10–20 minute walk after your biggest meal.

If you’re interested in blood sugar, prediabetes, low-carb living, or metabolic health, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on asking better questions before a diagnosis changes the conversation.
