Ep 02: ADA vs. ADS — Understanding the Battle Over Blood Sugar Balance

The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast

Send us a text

In this episode of the Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast, we’re diving into the differences between two major organizations that shape how we understand blood sugar health: the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Diabetes Society (ADS). While the ADA has long been the go-to authority, its ties to pharmaceutical companies have led to a focus on managing symptoms with medication. On the other hand, the newer ADS is retraining healthcare professionals to look at the root causes of blood sugar imbalances — like inflammation — and empowering people to take control of their health through lifestyle changes. Tune in to learn why this matters to everyone, not just those with specific health concerns, and how you can navigate the conflicting advice out there!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•The key differences between the ADA and the ADS and how their guidelines impact what’s being taught about blood sugar balance.
•Why blood sugar imbalances affect everyone and how addressing inflammation can improve overall health.
•How the ADS is teaching healthcare professionals to focus on lifestyle changes to balance blood sugar naturally.
•The influence of the ADA’s partnership with pharmaceutical companies and what that means for the information you receive.
