For a non-infectious disease specialist this was a very down to earth informative and user-friendly overview of a disease that for most Canadian doctors is a mystery--but as pointed out we have gone through the same learning curve with Covid and years ago and until the present with HIV/AIDS. I call that with SARS the first cases were not recognized but after a while everyone was tuned in and we managed to contain it. Well done.
Nice user friendly overview of salient aspects of type 2 diabetes. Would emphasize learning to read labels on foods to really keep carbohydrates down in diet.
Nitrate spray is one of the treatment. Its vasodilatation effect is on small arterioles. As DN is small vessel disease, it would make sense to use PDE5 inh. Any comment?
I want commend dr
Malik on her first podcast. It was a great beginning to what I am sure will be an informative and entertaining series.

Excellent program and very well executed. It was my first time to see Nitro spray as part of treatment of DM neuropathy. Nitro spray's effect (as used in ASHD) on small arteries is well known. There has not been much discussion on use of PDE 5 inhibitors to treat DM neuropathy. For small arteries and capillaries, Tadalafil had been used with excellent results. In my practice it had helped patients with severe DM neuropathy and foot ulcers.

Thank you Mike! Agreed. Understanding how to manage diet and exercise in basic terms is important!
