Top 10 Tips for Living With Type 2 Diabetes – Practical Hacks From Two Endos Who Get It

Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in the U.S., but it doesn’t have to define or limit your life. In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus—two endocrinologists with decades of experience—break down practical strategies for living well with type 2. From the latest medications and tools to everyday lifestyle choices, they highlight what really makes a difference in the long run. Their goal? To show you that type 2 diabetes is not only manageable but that taking control can actually improve your health and quality of life.

Get Educated About What’s Happening in Your Body: Understanding insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and why type 2 diabetes is more than just “high blood sugar.”
Know Your Numbers: The key benchmarks for A1c, blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure—and why even small improvements matter.
Build the Right Care Team: How to find and work with providers who can guide you through treatment options and keep you on track.
Food and Drink That Work for You: Why portion control, balance, and smart substitutions matter more than strict diets or deprivation.
Move Your Body (Without Overthinking Exercise): How realistic activity goals—walking, stretching, or even gardening—can improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.
The Medications Changing the Game: Why GLP-1s, SGLT2 inhibitors, and CGMs are considered life-changing tools in type 2 diabetes care—and what you should know about them.
And That’s Just the Start…: From mental health to long-term complication prevention, there are even more strategies in this episode to help you thrive with type 2 diabetes.
