Welcome to Kula, the community for South Asian Health. Kula, is the Sanskrit word for community - which is what this podcast is all about, bringing together a community of the leading South Asian health experts to talk all things health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness.

I'm your host, Krish Nandkeshwar, a health and fitness enthusiast, competitor, and coach, motivated to educate and inspire the South Asian community to live healthier and combat disease.

On this episode, I interview Dr. Amit Sumal, MD, an Endocrinologist based out of Los Angeles, CA. He received his BS and MD from UCLA, completed his Internal Medicine Residency at Stanford, and his Endocrinology Fellowship at UCLA. He's also an avid beach volleyball player! We dive deep into all things diabetes from interpreting your A1C and blood glucose numbers to preventing risks to diabetes by changing your diet and lifestyle.
