Jenny Ruhl, author of Blood Sugar 101: What They Don’t Tell You About Diabetes, is our guest on today’s episode of The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!
After being diagnosed as a diabetic, Jenny worked hard on her diet and physical fitness, only to find that her blood sugar levels were continuing to get worse. To learn more, she spent years scouring the Internet for reliable information on diabetes and blood sugar. Much of what she found differed dramatically from what doctors were telling patients about what caused diabetes and how it should be treated.
She was searching for the answers to questions like: What do scientists actually know about Type 2 diabetes? Why do doctors miss diabetes diagnoses until long after people already have diabetic complications? And what blood sugar levels are truly low enough to prevent further damage to the organs and beta cells?
Jenny uncovered the reality of where the current practice recommendations most doctors follow came from and why they are inadequate to protect people with diabetes from complications. Fortunately, she also found some very solid information about what blood sugar levels seem to be low enough to prevent complications. Listen in for all the exciting details!

I found this very interesting and informative. When I heard the title, I was thinking it might be dull but “Nope” it was a winner. Thank you to Jenny and Jimmie :>)

She packed a lot of info in it, didn’t she? 😉
Enjoyed this podcast. I ordered her book. I tried metformin a few years ago and it made me nauseated. I am seriously thinking of trying it again, possibly the slow release kind she referred to. Her site has helped me too.

Agreed, this was very good. Thank goodness the Internet allows all of us to benefit from the personal research done by people like her. I was really listening in a concentrated way to the whole interview, and played part of it back a second time. The next time I have a raging hunger, I’m going to consider whether my blood sugar might be “moving fast.”
Very interesting interview, one of my favorite ones so far, I have been listening about a year and I am in my own journey. Jimmy thank you for doing your pod casts I enjoy them very much!
GREAT podcast, Jimmy! Jenny was a wonderful guest. Her message is SO important and she does a great job of explaining things and making the science accessible. Kudos to both of you. I also want to compliment you on the fact that you are an amazing interviewer. When you have a guest who knows his/her stuff and is articulate, you just let that person talk. So many “radio hosts” hog the mic. You do not. I am already benefitting from this interview.
