How are GLP-1 medications changing the way diabetes is managed today? In this episode, Gary Scheiner—Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and clinical director of Integrated Diabetes Services—breaks down the science, benefits, and real-world impact of today’s most talked-about diabetes drugs, including Ozempic and Mounjaro.

Living with type 1 diabetes since 1985, Gary combines decades of clinical expertise with personal experience to offer a clear, practical perspective on blood sugar management, insulin therapy, and evolving treatment options.

He’s also the author of several foundational books, including Think Like a Pancreas, Get Control of Your Blood Sugar, and The Ultimate Guide to Accurate Carb Counting, and is a frequent speaker at national and international diabetes conferences.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How GLP-1 medications work and why they’ve become so widely used.
• The key to balancing diet, insulin, and lifestyle for better glucose control.
• How diabetes affects digestion and overall metabolic health.
• The long-term impact of elevated blood sugar on the body.

Whether you’re managing diabetes or exploring the latest treatment options, this episode delivers valuable insights into modern, evidence-based care.
