Cardiologist Dr Shalaby Discusses Diabetes and Weight Loss on Great Day Houston
In the episode of “Great Day Houston”, host Deborah Duncan introduces a discussion about being “hangry” (hungry and angry). The panel of experts, including an orthopedic surgeon, a cardiologist, and a hormone specialist, discusses the importance of managing blood sugar and dietary habits, with emphasis on the ill effects of quick sugar fixes like snickers bars. They underscore the critical problem with society’s convenience-based food habits, which contribute to health issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
The panel highlights that diabetes complications have been decreasing over the past 20 years, due largely to increased public education about the disease. They remind the audience that maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight can prevent and even potentially cure type 2 diabetes. They also point out the range of health issues linked to diabetes, suggesting that controlling diabetes can help mitigate other medical problems. They note the importance of weight control in orthopedic surgery and briefly discuss alternative treatments.
