Liz and Amy talk with Dr. Charles Steiner about how he diagnosed and managed diabetes in patients, what lab tests he used (and why), and what kind of management methods he recommended. Learn about glucose toxicity (which can occur in all types of diabetics) and what is considered a red flag by a medical provider. Finally, we talk about what he wishes he’d known when he was first exposed to diabetes, and what he tells patients. It’s all about being empowered to self-manage.
