00:00Dr. Pham, we hear a lot about lifestyle changes in diabetics, diet, lifestyle, exercise is
00:14mentioned all the time.
00:16Do you think diet and exercise alone is sufficient to take care of type 2 diabetes?
00:21Oh, absolutely.
00:22Diet and exercise is the most important intervention for diabetes.
00:26All of the things we do, such as pills and insulin, they really play a supporting role
00:32and they should be used in conjunction with diet and exercise.
00:35Now, the medicines we use definitely will have less success and durability without a
00:41good dietary plan.
00:43Some patients early in the diagnosis of diabetes may be controlled with diet and exercise alone,
00:49but if you think of the progressive nature of diabetes, it's typical to require additional
00:53medications eventually and as it's important to be aggressive early on, it's always a
00:59good idea to consider that, even if you have good or normal control, so that it decreases
01:05the workload that your pancreas has to do and improves the longevity of the pancreatic
01:09function over time.
01:11So even though you can control diabetes with diet and exercise, using medicines as an aid
01:17is always a good idea, even when you have good control.
