In this episode Dr. Krishan and Dixie Crawford unpack Type 2 Diabetes (the most common type of Diabetes).2 Our hosts delve into the risk factors to be aware of, how it’s diagnosed, common symptoms, and the everyday lifestyle changes we can make to help prevent or delay the progression of Type 2 Diabetes.
