Most people are told: your cholesterol is high, here’s a statin, especially if it's high LDL. End of discussion.

But what if that prescription isn’t always necessary? What if there are tests and questions that could completely change the outcome?

In this episode, we dive into the truth about statins and diabetes, the benefits, the risks, and the controversies you rarely hear about. You’ll also hear Mary’s story, how she was nearly put on statins but, with the right evidence and one extra test, discovered she didn’t need them at all.

This episode covers Diabetes Research Bites exploring new research shaping the future of diabetes care, and not all of it is good news. Dr. Jedha breaks down new evidence showing that one long-standing class of diabetes drugs may increase heart disease risk and harm the very beta cells needed to produce insulin. She also exposes another round of misleading, industry-funded “food miracle” research.

The episode then explores the growing concern of medication use in children as the drug Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is tested in kids as young as 10, raising serious ethical and safety questions about long-term effects. Finally, Dr. Jedha closes with encouraging insights, two studies revealing how your evening meal can directly influence your morning blood sugar, offering a practical strategy anyone can act on right away.
