When Charles was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he was shocked and overwhelmed by the numbers. Having watched his father experience serious diabetes complications, including losing a leg, Charles knew he wanted to take a different path. But where should he start?
In this episode of Type 2 Diabetes Talk, Dr. Jedha talks with Charles about how he went from an A1c of 6.5% to 5.6%, lost 35 pounds (16 kg), and improved his cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Charles shares how joining DMP helped him understand his numbers, learn about carbohydrates and nutrition, and make practical changes to his diet and lifestyle that he could maintain.
You'll also hear Charles's advice as a longtime college tennis coach on setting achievable goals, why consistency matters more than perfection — a message that Dr Jedha emphasizes, and the value of ongoing education and support.
Dr. Jedha closes with three important lessons from his journey that anyone living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes can put into practice.
Charles's story is a powerful reminder that a type 2 diabetes diagnosis can be the beginning of a new chapter, if you choose to take that opportunity. Meaningful change is possible, one achievable step at a time.
