📝 About our guest
Chris Reade is an entrepreneur, technologist, and author of the book Beating Diabetes. A former software CEO with no medical training, he reversed his own type 2 diabetes after an accidental blood test caught an A1C of 9.3, and now keeps his numbers better than they were in his 30s with soluble fiber and a handful of sustainable habits.

🔑 Key takeaways

  • Soluble fiber (edamame, chickpeas, beans, broccoli, oats, carrots) slows digestion and blunts glucose spikes.
  • Front-loading a bowl of edamame before a meal keeps blood sugar flat and curbs how much you eat.
  • Chris lost nearly 25 pounds in 6 months with no portion control.
  • A short walk after dinner lowers blood sugar dramatically by signaling the body to burn glucose now.
  • Berberine matched metformin for him; cinnamon and apple cider vinegar did nothing.
  • Use a continuous glucose monitor short-term to learn your responses, then set it aside.
  • As little as 1 gram of visceral fat on the pancreas can trigger type 2 diabetes.
  • Losing weight can clear that fat and reverse type 2; type 1 is autoimmune and still needs insulin.
  • Keeping your feet warm improves sleep, which improves blood sugar.
  • Make the healthy choice the simplest choice so you actually stick with it.
