How Diabetes Works

Josh and Chuck dive deep into the science of diabetes on this episode, breaking down how glucose and insulin work together to power your body and what happens when that system goes haywire. They explore the three types of diabetes, the surprising symptoms to watch for, and most importantly, why type two diabetes is largely preventable through lifestyle changes—with a healthy dose of personal vulnerability about their own health concerns thrown in. You'll come away understanding the surprisingly elegant system your pancreas has for keeping your blood sugar in check, and what goes wrong when insulin stops doing its job.
