Dr. Beverly Yates and I wrap up our conversation about Type 2 diabetes and blood sugar management. She reminds us that there is so much we can do to improve our metabolic health, though we do need to be active participants in our own healing. She gives us a possible pathway that's so positive, and she shares her wisdom in such an approachable way. I'll then transition to sharing my first week wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and what I learned from it!   LET’S TALK THE WALK!
