In this episode we look at the crucial role of insulin in our bodies using the analogy of a traffic light. Insulin helps glucose enter cells for energy, just like a traffic controller guides cars through an intersection. In type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, insulin may not work effectively, leading to high blood glucose levels. We discuss medications like Glyburide, Glipizide, Glimeperide, and Metformin as potential solutions that will initially be used to help and why. Lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and exercise, also contribute to better diabetes management.
