Dr. Roshani Sanghani returns to discuss her groundbreaking book "Turnaround Diabetes" and her innovative approach to diabetes management. Drawing from her experience practicing in both India and the US, she introduces the "Four Wheels of the Lifestyle Car" concept that's transforming how we think about diabetes care.

KEY POINTS

  • The Four Wheels approach prioritizes interventions in order: nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise
  • Motivational interviewing techniques help patients discover their own path to better health
  • Sleep is critically important as the second "wheel" because it affects energy levels and decision-making ability
  • Telemedicine can provide more comprehensive, high-touch care than traditional office visits

BIO

Dr. Roshani Sanghani is an endocrinologist who has practiced in both India and the United States. She is the first and only certified motivational interviewing trainer in India. Her unique perspective comes from experiencing healthcare systems in both countries and developing a holistic approach to diabetes management that goes beyond traditional medication-focused treatment.

KISMET

The foreword to Dr. Sanghani's book was written by Dr. William Miller, one of the co-founders of Motivational Interviewing. This connection bridges the gap between traditional diabetes treatment and psychological approaches to behavior change, representing a fascinating intersection of medical and behavioral sciences.
