In this episode of the CardioSeeds podcast, Dr. Svetlana Chamoun, a Co-Chair of Cardiology MIG at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, reviews the new groundbreaking Consensus Statement From the American College of Lifestyle Medicine titled "Dietary Interventions to Treat Type 2 Diabetes in Adults with a Goal of Remission".

Stats: 10.5% of adults in the US, with increasing prevalence in younger age groups and approximately 21% of those individuals with diabetes are undiagnosed. The total cost of diabetes per year currently is estimated to be $327 billion ($237 billion in direct costs and $90 billion in decreased productivity).
