If you’ve been told “your sugar’s a little high,” this conversation is your turning point. Endocrinologist Dr. Carmen Cartwright (Clinical Director, Specialty Clinic, Oaktree Medical Center) joins Alexis Burrows to unpack how pre-diabetes can be reversed—and how many living with type 2 diabetes can move toward remission, protect their organs, and reclaim everyday life.
In this episode you’ll learn
- What “reversal” and “remission” actually mean (and which lab numbers matter: A1C, fasting glucose).
- The real drivers of change: food you’ll actually eat, movement timing (post-meal walks), muscle building, sleep, and stress control.
- How meds fit in (metformin, GLP-1s, insulin)—as tools, not failures.
- What to do first this week—two simple, high-ROI actions.
Why this matters
Pre-diabetes isn’t “borderline”—it’s a window. And even with type 2, the line can trend down with consistent, sustainable habits. This episode replaces fear with a plan you can measure.
