• How to reframe your relationship with food without guilt or extremes
• Practical ways to make healthier choices without chasing perfection

If you’re trying to manage type 2 diabetes and feel stuck or discouraged, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and realistic steps you can actually stick with.

Have you ever been sent home from the ER with dangerously high blood sugar… and no clear plan?

In this episode of The Beating Diabetes Lifestyle Podcast, Oscar Camejo breaks down a real-world situation many newly diagnosed diabetics experience—being stabilized in the hospital, but leaving without clear guidance on what comes next.

Oscar explains why blood sugar can remain dangerously high after an ER visit, why the question “What should I do to get my numbers down?” often comes first, and what actually helps the body begin healing over time.

You’ll also hear Oscar share his own journey—from being hospitalized with blood sugar over 400 mg/dL to recording this episode with a fasting blood sugar of 78 mg/dL—and how losing excess weight, changing his diet, and staying consistent with exercise made the difference.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why emergency rooms stabilize blood sugar but rarely provide a long-term roadmap
• What dangerously high blood sugar readings can mean after discharge
• Why food alone doesn’t “bring numbers down” in a crisis
• How losing just 10–15% of body weight can significantly improve blood sugar and overall health
• What research shows about weight loss and long-term type 2 diabetes improvement
• Why lifestyle change works gradually—not overnight
• Encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed, confused, or alone after diagnosis

If you’ve ever felt scared by your numbers, frustrated by a lack of direction, or unsure where to start, this episode will help you slow down, gain clarity, and focus on what truly matters.

And be sure to tune in to the next episode, where Oscar dives deeper into foods to eat versus foods to avoid—and why managing diabetes doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming.
