In this episode, we discuss the common belief that weight loss is essential for managing type 2 diabetes. We address the prevalence of weight-centric approaches in diabetes care and the struggles people face in sustaining long-term weight loss. With the many limitations that come with restrictive diets, we discuss how outcomes like improved A1C, blood sugar control, and overall well-being are more important than the number on the scale.
