In this foundational podcast of 'not ARTIFICIALLY Sweetened', Stan and Michael set the scene for their approach to further episodes.
They reflect on their years in diabetes care and how their experiences have shaped them personally and professionally. The experience of diabetes, both for people with the condition and for the health professionals that facilitate their care, pervades far beyond just exploring and responding to blood glucose values and trends. If we can 'see' beyond the data, we can 'see' the person who has the condition. Once, we make that connection, we can build bridges of insight and understanding between the scientific and the human elements of best-practice chronic health care.
Our deliberations will always be honest, challenging and thought provoking. Nothing is off the table as we discuss real people, their real issues and stories, and together discover real answers to many vexing practical issues in diabetes and its care.
If you are a person living with diabetes or a health professional that facilitates diabetes care, you are in the right place!
Join us in the journey ahead, as we grow together in understanding, insight, and self-awareness and ultimately change lives for the better!
