Show Notes:

About 1 in 5 Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes – and many don’t even know it. The good news? With the right approach, it’s possible to prevent prediabetes from progressing to type 2 diabetes – or even reverse it. In Ep. 210 of Eat Move Think, host Allison Hazell speaks with Leslie Beck, registered dietitian & Medcan’s Director of Food and Nutrition, about practical strategies for prevention, management and lifestyle changes that make a difference. 

Tune in to hear Leslie explain:

  • How prediabetes is more common than you might think
  • The difference between prediabetes and type 2 diabetes 
  • Key lifestyle factors that influence insulin resistance including diet, exercise, and sleep
  • Dietary choices that can help you manage blood sugar effectively
  • How Continuous Glucose Monitoring can help you track and understand your glucose patterns in real time

What you can do:

Start by understanding your current health status and risks by speaking to your doctor or scheduling a comprehensive Annual Health Assessment at Medcan. For personalized nutrition guidance and support, including Continuous Glucose Monitoring, visit medcan.com/nutrition.
