50: Isaac Pohlman (@isaacpohlman) - Type 1 vs type 2 diabetes, managing blood sugar through nutrition, importance of sleep and stress management for BG control, should regular people use CGMs to monitor their glucose?

Loved this conversation with my friend and fellow colleague - Isaac Pohlman - on all things related to diabetes and managing your blood sugar. Isaac is a fellow Dietitian who has Type 1 Diabetes.

He primarily works with adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and chronic symptoms that include chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia, reactive hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, stress and poor sleeping patterns.

Topics discussed on this episode:

-Isaac's story - managing health issues from a young age and being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes,

-Common challenges when being diagnosed with health conditions and how to navigate it.

-Differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

-Importance of managing your BG levels.

-Nutrition considerations + why carbs can be so important.

-The role of micronutrients in blood sugar management.

-How to improve your current baseline when pursuing your health goals.

-Non-diabetics using CGMs to track their blood sugars.

-Importance of where/who you get your health information from.

-Detriments of not getting enough sleep and how that impacts your blood sugars.

+ so many things in between.

This is a jam packed episode (a little longer than my normal podcasts) that's relevant to everyone.. not just type 1 or 2 diabetics.

We appreciate you listening along!
