Frequently Asked Questions

Most other doctors are focused on controlling your glucose (sugar) levels. My focus is getting your metabolism correct, which is not just your sugar levels. I correct other hormonal deficiencies, micronutrient deficiencies, gut health issues. Also prescribing of diabetic drugs is focused on drugs that don’t cause weight gain or drugs that result in weight loss.

Correcting your metabolism, improving your gut health, reducing your weight, all play a major role in increasing the insulin sensitivity of the cell and thus better diabetic control and less complications from diabetes.

If you are diabetic and your children are overweight – they need to see me asap, before diabetes develops, this is the best space to work, the prevention of disease. Assessing and correcting glucose metabolism.

Did you know that a person has an abnormal glucose metabolism for 10 to 15 years before diabetes occurs? The body is in a fat producing state that makes it difficult to lose weight and aids the progression to diabetes. Medication and lifestyle modification during this time could prevent diabetes altogether or delay diabetes by decades. The older you get diabetes, the better, the less likely you are to require insulin or severe complications.
