Dr. Kahn's Insights: Breaking Down Why PreDiabetes is NOT PreDisease - a podcast by Empower Radio

This week, Dr. Kahn shines a spotlight on the often-overlooked yet vital lab test, HgbA1C. Many remain unaware that they fall into the prediabetes range, a condition often mistakenly viewed as merely a precursor.

In this episode, Dr. Kahn delves into emerging data suggesting that prediabetes isn't just a precursor—it might already signify existing health issues. Notably, those with prediabetes frequently show high calcium CT scores in their heart arteries. Additionally, a significant number of men with erectile dysfunction might have undiagnosed prediabetes. One key approach to move from prediabetes back to optimal health is by reducing visceral fat, which can be tracked using an InBody scale or Dexascan. Dr. Kahn underscores the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet as a proven method to prevent prediabetes.
