Episode 10.28.2026 - All Things Diabetes

SUMMARY

This week, The Dr. Ardis Show presents All Things Diabetes. Dr. Bryan Ardis opens with the numbers: an estimated 537 million adults live with diabetes worldwide, with projections of 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Using Cleveland Clinic material, he explains how blood sugar and insulin work, walks through the different forms of diabetes (type 1, type 2, prediabetes, gestational, type 3c, LADA, MODY, neonatal and brittle), and covers common symptoms and the tests used in diagnosis, including fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C. He then looks at the American Diabetes Association's stated mission and public IRS filings, and reviews the published side effects of widely used diabetes medications such as metformin, Levemir and Afrezza.

In the last third of the episode, Dr. Ardis reviews published research on nutrients linked to blood sugar metabolism and insulin signaling. He covers guggulsterone from the sap of the Commiphora mukul tree, zinc and its relationship with blood sugar markers, copper and the zinc to copper ratio, chromium, vanadium, selenium and magnesium.
