Welcome to another episode of "The Silent Decade." Today, we're diving deep into a groundbreaking perspective on diabetes with Dr. Rangi.

Understanding your exact subtype can completely change your approach to treatment and prevention. Join us as we unpack what these subtypes mean, where this new classification came from, and why recognizing your metabolic pattern matters more than just your A1C alone.
