499 | Dr. Michael Snyder | Using Glucose Phenotypes to Personalize Type 2 Diabetes Care

About this episode

Dr. Michael Snyder discusses the multiple metabolic subtypes of Type 2 diabetes and how glucose monitoring can personalize care.

Dr. Michael Snyder joins Dr. Forbes to discuss research showing that Type 2 diabetes represents multiple metabolic subtypes rather than a single condition. He explains how glucose curve patterns, oral glucose tolerance testing, and continuous monitoring can help identify differences in muscle insulin resistance, beta-cell function, hepatic signaling, and incretin response. The conversation explores how these physiological patterns may guide individualized nutrition strategies, medication selection, and earlier detection in people with emerging dysregulation.
