Last week, the CDC reported that weekly deaths in people age 18-29 has decreased to zero from one in five million the week prior. Zero. That’s lower than the number of deaths from car accidents, suicide, and firearms in young people. https://t.co/sLxcRccG43

This clip on sugar is no different than the old cigarette ads. It’s stunning how innocuous loading our bodies with sugar can be made to seem. We need to do better as a society if we have any real chance of ending the pain caused by this silent killer. https://t.co/VcRFL2mfTL

@PedantDog CGMs give immediate, real-time feedback on blood sugar response to foods, giving the wearer valuable, actionable data. And for the doc adjusting diabetic medications after a lifestyle change, the data is key to optimizing the safety and effectiveness of the strategy.

Patient has been on insulin for over 25 years, every few months requiring an adjustment to a higher dose. After 7 weeks under my care, she is now almost totally off. Response from her endocrinologist? “Good luck. It’s never going to last.”

@TimothyStrayer I am licensed to practice in California and can see you in-person or virtually if you are located in CA. https://t.co/QqKDqWkyJN

@njh_beats No, she is a type 2 diabetic.

[Dr. Charlene Lichtash @DrLichtash]

@raza82332598 This may help you speak with your endocrinologist. Case report I wrote with @drjasonfung https://t.co/fKeIVj5ftI

@JohnCaseIII @mrc314 In T2DM we MUST try targeting the underlying insulin resistance. It’s amazing in so many cases I have treated how ready the body is to repair itself.

[Dr. Charlene Lichtash @DrLichtash]

If you are a diabetic on meds and want to start fasting and a low carb diet, let’s team up to see how much progress we can make on reversing your insulin resistance! Nothing better than to hear from a patient that the outcome has completely changed their life.

[Dr. Charlene Lichtash @DrLichtash]

So proud to call you a colleague and inspiration. Keep on leading the way!

@gormygoesketo Crazy stuff! Congrats...stunning!

[Dr. Charlene Lichtash @DrLichtash]

As a physician, one of the most essential tools I give patients is education about their disease processes. Without this education, they are oftentimes left fighting a life-long uphill battle. And, in the case of a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, this could not be more true.
