Why do you think you
developed diabetes?
The genes set the stage, the behavior tells the tale…
Dealing with diabetes can be overwhelming,
“but if it is understood better, it is underwhelming.”

Two fallacies of extrapolating basic thought processes to complex
scientific principles and mechanistic pathways:
1. HIGH FAT: REDUCE FAT
2. SUGARS BAD: SUBSTITUTE SUGAR
Artificial sweeteners
Brain: Alter reward center activity (Green E. & Murphy C. 2012; Frank G.K.W et al, 2008)
Tongue: Dull taste buds (Ann Alexander. Prevention)
Gut: Trick the gut (Susan Swithers, Ph.D. @ Purdue)
Pancreas: insulin spikes (Fowler SP et al. Obesity 2008)
Behavior: False perception of eating healthier Nutrition: calorie-free and nutrients-free
Almost all diets (and diet pills) work initially Almost all diets (and diet pills) fail eventually
As A Medical Community: We Must Aim for
Long-Lasting SUSTAINABLE Results
Portion Control &
Restrict refined carbs and simple sugars

Physical Activity Altering the perception
Physical Activity Exercise
• Exercise: a structured form of activity for a defined purpose, often to compete in a sport or strength-training to maintain a certain fitness level.
• Physical activity: Any bodily movement that involves muscle contraction.

• AVOID OVERINSULINIZATION – Revisit the need for insulin – Minimize/eliminate complex regimens, ESPECIALLY
IN THE ELDERLY
• Educate on OADs assoc. w/ HYPOGLYCEMIA • RE-INTRODUCE METFORMIN (if a candidate)
Simplicity improves adherence
Ask your doctor if Metformin is again right for you
