Can Pre-Diabetes Be Reversed? What Your Doctor Isn't Testing For
Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has pre-diabetes, and most don't even know it. That's because standard blood tests often miss it entirely. Dr. Saunders explains exactly what's happening inside your cells during the pre-diabetes stage, why your blood sugar can look completely normal while insulin resistance is already building, and what you can do right now to stop it in its tracks.
*Plus, Dr. Saunders answers viewer questions on a variety of health topics including insulin, memory issues, yeast infections related to blood sugar, AI and diabetes management, and more.*
In this episode, Dr. Saunders covers:
- What pre-diabetes actually is — and why it's not just "a little high"
- The four blood tests you should be asking your doctor for
- Why belly fat is one of the earliest warning signs
- How stress and poor sleep can cause insulin resistance even with a perfect diet
- The role exercise plays in emptying glucose from your cells
- What oils are actually safe to cook with (coconut vs. olive vs. omega-3)
- Whether pre-diabetes can be fully reversed — and the answer may surprise you
