Background:
Americans are anything but aware of diabetes and its effect on your body. In fact, most Americans are oblivious to their risk of type 2 diabetes, so much so that experts have recently announced that the onset of the disease is a growing epidemic with nearly 1 in 10 adult Americans now being labeled as diabetic.
In fact, according to the American Diabetes Association, 1.7 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed every year, affecting both adults and children; and diabetes will kill more Americans every year than AIDS and breast cancer combined.
Join Dr. Ritamarie and James LaValle as they discuss how to accurately read a blood glucose test, along with the top recommendations for type 2 diabetes prevention using food, herbs, nutrients, and lifestyle changes.

Would like to hear comments on intermittent fasting, in the form of eating all food within 5-8 hours/day, leaving 16-19 hours fasting per day.
Hi, Carol,
I hope you were able to listen to the show and hear Dr. Ritamarie and James speak about intermittent fasting in relation to blood sugar balancing.
This is a great interview. I like all what he says and particularly resistant starch that paleo don’t get. Well done Dr. Ritamarie. Thank you so much
