Dr. Black firmly believes in the importance of exercise and a healthy diet in managing diabetes, asserting that these lifestyle changes not only aid in diabetes control but also improve overall health. He emphasizes that exercise naturally lowers blood sugar levels by utilizing stored energy in the body and bloodstream, a more effective and natural method than relying on medications that target other organs. Dr. Black also cautions against the sole reliance on weight loss drugs for diabetes control, advising individuals to closely monitor their blood sugar levels if they choose to combine these drugs with diet and exercise. He advocates for sustainable lifestyle changes over temporary solutions, encouraging small, manageable steps and professional guidance if needed.
