In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we flash back to a talk with Robby Barbaro The "Mindful Diabetic" about how to master diabetes. This is made out to be a complex disease, but in fact, the concept is really quite simple. We talk about type 1, Type 2, Type 1.5, prediabetes and gestational diabetes. Robby talks about carbs, sugars, insulin, fat and everything else you want to know. We know from experience that there are many of you out there who are already 100% plant-based, following all the rules and still your blood sugar is high. We have been working with many clients who just like you, were frustrated because they could not understand how to get their sugars down. Now that they have added in our protocol, they feel relieved to see progress and have a new hope for the future. Please reach out @planttrainers or at if you would like to see how we can help.  Our guest Robby was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 12 and has been living this lifestyle since 2006. He ate pounds of fruit every day, his HbA1c value has never exceeded 6.4%, and his blood glucose has been stable and easy to manage. Robby graduated from the University of Florida and is the cofounder of Mastering Diabetes and the founder of Mindful Diabetic. He worked at Forks Over Knives for six years before turning his attention in 2016 to coaching people with diabetes full time. Robby enjoys exercising regularly, spending time with friends.
