I went super low carb and high fat and my insulin sensitivity was drastically improved and I lost alot of fat. Weird
How do you know that your insulin sensitivity improved?
@@pamelakoretsky9909 lower blood glucose levels, reduced appetite, alot of fat loss, I was in a better mood and less tired.
@@nspnutritionsportsperforma6804 you lost fat because you were in a calorie deficit. Feeling better than you were does not mean you were healthier. Keto dieting causes lean muscle mass. That and lack of carbs triggers insulin resistance. Medical physiologic facts. If you want to trade one kind of sick for another I dont know what to say to you. Moderate protein. Heart health k fats in moderation, and about 45 percent of calories from carbs....mostly complex carbs ....is the healthiest diet. Low starches and sugars with diabetes. High fat diets especially combined with extreme low carb are an unhealthy combination....you body was built to run on carbs....fst burn iij bg is for very short term emergencies and comes at a cost especially when it continues long term.
@@pamelakoretsky9909
You know what they say when you assume Pamela. You make an Ass of You and Me...
I never once said I was in a calorie deficit, I actually was targeting 3000 calories a day which is roughly my total daily expenditure, and I was still able to lose FAT over the span of 6 months. I was being observed by my GP and also did an Oral Glucose tolerance test post cessation of the diet. Which showed improved numbers from the last time I had done one years prior...
I have never heard of anyone reducing Net carbs, keeping a balanced diet with high fats, fibrous carbs and moderate protein, who have become insulin resistant, as fats trigger much less of an insulin repsonse.
Do you mind citing the studies that back up your claims that lack of carbs will cause insulin resistance? I have multiple studies that prove that reducing Net carbs is contrary to what you have said
@@nspnutritionsportsperforma6804 so you tut think you lost fat but maintained the same weight? And BTW the only time the body loses stored fat is when it is in a metabolic calorie deficit. And also BTW that saying is because the correct word is presume...not "assume" time for an elementary school english review for you. What I can give an educated guess to is that you sell sports supplements, that you do not in fact have a medical degree or a degree in nutrition.
Hi. So kindly share how else can we keep ours sugars down.....i do low carb because its all that s helping me keep mu numbers down. I m type 2 diabetic.
Same happens to me.
Low carb is NOT the same as keto which is low carb high fat. Best long term diet for any diabetic is moderate protein, low carb heavy bbn on fiber and complex carbs, and low to moderate healthy fats...minimum saturated fats including MCTs. Food should come from all food groups. For those on insulin injected insulin is not the same as natural insulin, so you want to eat a healthy diet but keep bolus needs to a minimum.
@@clkrun9551: I am type and IF and low carb helped my insulin resistance
@CLK RUN keto is not good for type 2 either. It increases insulin resistence, inflammation, bad cholesterol levels, and a whole list of other issues. It also causes muscle wasting...loss of lean muscle mass...as well as decrease in bone density in the long run. Diabetes. Es poo ect iui ally type2 us not just about blood glucose levels.
@@maxineadderley5378 you might want to rethink that. New studies show IF increases mortality from all causes in diabetics particularly type 2.
I was on low carb diet for a few month but when I ate carbs again it was too powerful for the insulin and sugar went very high. Anyone else experience this?
Me also happen same .. is that temporary? Or have some way fix that?
Moderately introduce Carbs into diet but gradually
You aggravated your insulin resistance. Even young healthy non diabetics can be made insulin resistance and diabetic within just a few days of a high fat diet. Google Shirley Sweeney diabetes, Percival Himsworth diabetes, Rabinowitch diabetes, Walter Kempner diabetes to learn of the doctors who experimented on their young healthy students and patients and see for just how long this has been known from experience before the science was known and the biochemistry was understood.
Yeah I did that a few years ago....and I felt like crap when I went back to high carb/starches mainly. I had to cut out all potatoes. rice, pasta, bread and went low sugar...then I got back to feeling good and sugar started checking low again. I just can't do the starches and breads.
@@babeaux4200 That just delays the benefits
He’s right, if you don’t use it you lose it. Mix in carbs! Just get them from fruits and veggies!
Dude fruits increased my avg blood sugar by 29 points .
awesome low glycemic fruits in small amounts. Non starchy veggies. I have found timing and food combos helps as well as serving size. Check out eat to the meter. Also a book....the Diabetes Circadian Code.
You are way over thinking it. Aintnobodygottimefodat@@pamelakoretsky9909
Sorry put that's ridiculous! That insulin resistance is short term, transient, instead of METABOLIC insulin resistance that actually takes a long ass time to improve. This has been known and has been well documented by low carb researchers themselves for decades, but people that should know better (and sometimes actually do and lie on purpose becauseor their agendas) love to mix them both for fear mongering. That's why people are able to lower their BASAL insulin on low carb, becausetheir insulin sensitivityIMPROVES! If they were truly insulin resistant, basal needs would go way up! They just TEMPORARILY become a bit less flexible if consuming higher carb, which defeats the purpose of the diet to begin with!
Thank u. Exactly what I say to the Dr. Y doesn’t anyone else seem to understand this problem?
So... um... we're screwed. I'm type 2, normal weight, very active and stronger than most of the farm boys around here. And still people tend to blame me for being sick. Eat me.
I have a rare Atypical form of at least for now non insulin dependent diabetes. Type 2 is a very complicated thing. And yes people's bigoted attitude us a problem. The worse is when it comes from Type 1s. But Tom is not like that.
Well granted there is such a thing as an “ actual”! type 2 diabetic.
But most have eaten their way to it with no effort in exercising
@@michaelharvie9956 The fat kid in my class got no end of bullying. I stood up for him and we are friends to this day as adults. He has had a long struggle with various serious health issues. He has tried all of his life to be thin and healthy and I don't think he had ever known real happiness until he met his wife to be.
I despise people like you. You might learn about statistics, psychology and genetics some day, but I doubt it. Easier to criticise. It takes practically no effort to be a jerk.
@@michaelharvie9956 No, being fat doesnt cause Type 2. Other way around. Look at MY 600 LB LIFE. None of those people have diabetes. They do not have the underlying genetic defects in carb metabolism. Just because di er t and ccx exercise can help early in the clinical progression of type 2 doesnt mean that diet and exercise issues caused it. Most with type 2 will tell you that before any thg thing showed up in blood work vfc for a diagnosis that they were putting GB bnb on weight suddenly and didnt seem to have any energy but were hungry all the time and craving carbs. That's because they were losing Beta Cell mass and function and their cells could not get and use the glucose ac available and were sending out "feed me" signals" and all that time the liver and fat cells have to storecsllvth sd t extra as unusable glucose as fat...as an adaptive mechanism. Insulin resistance spares glucose for organs like the heart and certain critical areas of the brain that are not insulin dependent because the body is getting false "starvation" signals. Medical School texts describe all forms of diabetes as "starvation the midst of plenty". It doesnt matter if there is nobfood/fuel available original its there but the body can't use it...the body tu thinks bbn its starving and makes tu he needed adjustments which are fine very dhort term but cause more problems long term as in Type 2 diabetes. NOBODY is at fault for any form M if diabetes. So either educate yourself or remain silent. And BTW there are Type 1s with insulin resistence and current cutting edge research is showing an auto bg immune component to type 2. So again.....educate yourself.
I found that low carb DID improve my insulin sensitivity slightly as shown by OGTT results. However, I think that just shows that results can be variable and if anyone tries low-carb, they need to look at results to determine if it is working for them.
Low carb is never a good option. It causes all the standard diabetic outcomes of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke etc. Never lose sight of the fact that the longest lived most healthy populations on the planet have lived almost entirely on plants and carbohydrates with next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy
What WILL improve insulin sensitivity? My guess is cardio within your fat-burning range, some very limited intense activity like sprinting (everyone should try this; it’s fun and rewarding to observe that you are not only generating human growth hormone, but learning to run much faster!) and lots of resistance work. That’s what I’ve chosen and the usefulness of each unit of insulin has risen in my case. I use far less because 1) I eat very few carbs and because 2) I’ve rid myself of a bunch of visceral fat and I’ve built up a lot of muscle in my body that I’ve never before had. But I’m listening to hear what will be your recommendation. Thank you. So nice to listen to a fellow diabetic to whom nothing needs to be explained!❤
Why would you guess with such an important subject? Read and listen to Mastering Diabetes to begin some actual education in biochemistry
When making video you should also explain why.
💯💯
Fasting increases insulin sensitivity
35 year old T2D here, low carb and gym workouts normalized my HB1AC, from 7.9 to 5.0-5.2, i also check free style libre my after meal blood sugar is 180. . .
I make a small amount of insulin and I manage my t1 with the carnivore/ketovore diet and mild occasional vodka/whiskey(my bs is usually between 85-100). Do you have videos explaining just why keto made you insulin resistant???
Because saturated fats and animal proteins block the insulin receptors of cells throughout the body. It was known from practical experimentation that this happened in the first half of the last century but the real science wasn't known until the advent of the most powerful MRI machines of the 1990's. Read and listen to Mastering Diabetes to learn the actual human biochemistry
You are the only one giving this misinformation…
Its not misinformation. He uses disclaiming language so he is not saying ALL, NEVER, DONT...He's saying as a type 1 he did not experience lower blood sugars with low carb. I had the same outck.e as him. I am also a type 1. But our experiences are not prescriptions for you or anyone else. Use common sense.
@@SSTillmanEsq this guy is an idiot, no carb, and low carb is not going to cause insulin sensitivity. Eating way too many sugars and making the receptors down regulate is is what causes insulin resistance. You use some self awareness and have some common sense.
It isn't misinformation, no. The science is well understood by all scientists. Education on the subject is available to you by reading and listening to Mastering Diabetes, two T1 diabetics and biochemists who have brought together the learning from EVERY single study ever published on diabetes. Way before the actual science was known, it was known by practical experimentation in the first half of the last century he you look up Shirley Sweeney diabetes, Percival Himsworth diabetes, Rabinowitch diabetes to learn about the doctors who experimented on their young healthy students and could make them insulin resistant in just a few days of a high fat diet. Also Walter Kempner diabetes
IF is what got rid of insulin resistance along with low carb
It's the combination of Intermittant Fasting and LCHF that makes you more insulin sensitive as well as eating and snacking less
No decreasing calories did
IF can help but no, low carb contributes to insulin resistance and all the standard degenerative disease that diabetics suffer from
Something I have thought a great deal about lately is that with the emphasis on a low carb, high protein diet.....What is the long term effect on the kidneys which is a major concern for diabetics?
When I first became diabetic over 40 years ago, one was asked to avoid protein because of complications to kidneys?
You are right. It is exactly the perpetuation of these myths and assumptions of 200 years ago that causes kidney damage, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, strokes etc. Anyone who tells you to hide from carbohydrates simply doesn't understand how to reverse the condition that the body is in to have become insulin resistant
You made no mention what kind of fat you ate how much and when. This is a dynamic topic and you are only pointing at carbs. Are you counting fiber as a carb? If so whats the split?
No my friend the point is that you do not know exactly what it is happening on a ketogenic diet as well on a low carb.
On the ketogenic diet it looks like that the body is not responding to the same amount of insuline not because is not responding to the insuline, but because your body is producing the full amount of glucose the is needed for continuing to work and support you when you go to get your nutrition. You can test that the insuline is more effective once you switch back to carbo diet because your body will not produce anymore glucose, but it will start to use the exsternal imput of it. At the contrary there are a lot of benefit from the keto diet, one of them is no danger from low glicemy, no risk to go out of range you can actually keep your glucose in range 100% of the time. I am 55 years with type 1 Diabetes and I experience the keto diet for some years now. Some times is good to switch back on Carbo diet but not longer than 1 month. The only thing that you should know is that on keto the body works differetly than before. The body produce his own energy, while the sugars and Carbohydrates are bypassing the whole mechanism.
Scientific medical fact the keto diet increases insulin resistance past about 3 months, and increases LDL...BAD cholesterol blood levels. And I have a medical degree so tell me how I dont understand what keto does to the body!
@@pamelakoretsky9909 if you don't know that on keto the alfa cells start producing glucagone that then rise the glucose that the body needs so you need to go through your books again.
How do you explain that after going back on Carbo I have to inject less insuline for the same ammount of Carbohydrates?
Of course the LDL and HDL changes, it is because the body is using fats as fuel.
All the medical universities in the USA has only one owner do you know which corporation? Find out then take out all the false information that they they add to your studies and then you will know all the truth.
When the human body starts breaking down protein....which includes from muscle and organs...to produce glucose that is starvation mode and in the long term damaging. But let's start with your first false statement....alpha cells do not "produce glucose". They produce glucagon, which signals the liver to convert glycogen to glucose. When glycogen stores are depleted...the liver stores about a 24hr supply....your body switched into starvation mode. The hormones released prompt your body to break down it's own muscle and organs to convert to glucose which many critical organ systems are dependent on. This shifts your metabolism into a metabolic state that in the long term results in increased insulin resistance...already explained at a lay person level ...among other things. Oh, and BTW you shouldn't be commenting if you are not educated enough to know that alpha cell disfunction has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes...both type 1 and 2. I get that you dont have a medical degree and do not actually have in depth knowledge about this stuff, what I don't get is your rabid need to spread disinf oil formation on a youtube channel dedicated to facts and helping fellow diabetics live better with this challenging and complicated metabolic disorder.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 yes it is true it is glucagone but im my glucometer it is misured as glucose.
The comment are free plus with my lack of education I get a start of production of insuline after 50+ years of Type 1 Diabetes. Did you ever got or given me such results? NO NOBODY. Alternative YES! YOU DO NOT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY EDUCATION BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING I KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS PUSHING TO KEEP PEOPLE SICK.
Btw I am talking of Healt Keto and you are talking about starvation.
My Glucose on Keto stay on the range and it is much easier to control, facts not opinions. My body start to work better.
But yiu are showing yourself as one that can talk here, so I have some questions:
1) Do you ever handle a type 2 Diabetes to get back healty like before?
2) if we would start to pay the doctors like they did in China times ago (they were paying only untill they were fully healty) will you survive?
3) have you ever looked different studies and reserches to see if all your informations are right?
4) have you ever put into discussion any of your teachings?
5) Speak about what is the substance in the insuline to keep us protected from patogens?
Anyway I speak as Diabetic to my fellow Diabetics. As one that is pist to see that all the cures get always bought by thevbig pharma that have the highest interest to keep us sick. So I say here that should be awarded who cures not who keep peoples on drugs! The insuline is patented as Drug.
You are not only ignorant but willfully so. Glucose and glucagon are two completely different things. You could easily google and know that but you clearly just want to troll a channel that seeks to give people correct info. Pathetic.
I think maybe that just means one can become more sensitive to carbs if they eat less of them?
But if one eats less carbs, they will likely lose weight, and this may very much lower insulin resistance
Eat less fat and protein to lose weight and regain insulin sensitivity even sooner
Low carbs all the time allows you to need less insulin. My fasting insulin is the way I know I am insulin sensitive. My glucose levels stay flat.
That just means you have the correct dose.
But low carb will bring on all the standard damage of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke etc
@@richardjackson5380 no not really. That is the common wisdom but insulin resistance contributes to those illnesses
I have lost 99 lbs. so far on a low-carb regimen. I feel great and am facing the loss of a few more lbs. to reach my ideal weight. But I’ve noticed that when I have to use fruit (Granny Smith Apple, cup of blueberries, couple kiwis, cup of strawberries are current faves) to counteract a low (experimenting with supplements, vitamins and minerals to reduce diabetic meds even more than I already have causes lows and highs 😢), I feel better and happier. I don’t delude myself that sugar will ever be a part of my regular diet. I don’t miss it. But I DO miss fruit and starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and winter squash, beets, etc. I plan to slowly, in small doses, reintroduce these delicious substances into my diet when I finally reach ideal. I eat them occasionally now, measuring carefully and pre-medicating with insulin, but I notice that the great success I’ve experienced on my weight loss journey is slowed by my consumption of carbs of any kind, so it’s occasional only.
You won't be able to sustain keto and it will bring much damage to your body.
... So how do you increase insulin sensitivity if carbs are already spiking your blood and going low carb apparently doesn't help insulin sensitivity?
You won't get an answer as this is bad advice. The body is not stupid and will not "forget" how to use insulin if you reduce your carb intake. Reversing diabetes by making the cells more receptive to the hormone insulin... well , that may be what happens on a low carb diet over a long time. You didn't become resistant overnight. You're not going to magically cure it overnight. I don't think there are any studies to determine how long it takes as there is essentially no money in prevention and following a non junky diet.
If you have any weight to lose, lose it as fast as you can. Your body insulin sensitivity will return. Read Mastering Diabetes as you need to learn some basic biochemistry to be able to understand which can't be covered quickly here
Every single person is totally different. If your fat mobilises different it won’t work. It’s trial and error. What he means is - if you JUST consumed HEALTHY carbs (vegetables, fruits, lentils, plants) you would flush out the fat out of the cells (in SOME people) and the carbs would be used as an energy source. The fat stuck in the cell would disappear and the cell door would unlock to allow the insulin in and process the sugars in the carbs more effectively. You have to try a plant based diet properly and excercise at the same time to test if this method works for you. At the same time have your bloods tested for HBA1c After 3 months and your kidneys and urine tested to ensure it’s not causing any other issues.
My 7 year old nice was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, I am scared for her. Do you have a good advice?
Thank you. The voice of fact and reason. Every diabetic who is doing Keto (low carb high fat) is going to hate you !
You'd wish for that wouldn't you?
@@s2korpionic no but people on keto are you like cult members. They dont want to know the facts they only want to hear what they believe echoed back.
Fact and reason? What fact and reason has he referred to?
@@robert111k keto damages kidneys, and is not heart healthy. It worsens type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin resistance (over time your body needs more and more insulin to cover the same carbohydrate load). This same effect makes blood glucose harder to control in Type 1 diabetes and results in increased risk of keto acidosis which is life threatening. What he saw quickly was a rapid increase in insulin rssistence....he need to take more insul in n for smaller amounts of carbs. If you were paying attention to what he said you would know that.
@@robert111khe has referenced the fact that high fat (usually meat, egg, fish, dairy) based diet just mates insulin resistance even worse and long term brings with it the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke etc
Respectfully, then what do I do next. High fat low carb. Type 2. Lost weigh (not all extra weight) off meds. HA1C now 5.2. How do I “mix it up” and not lose control of carbs & BS again? Thanks
Trading high BG for fatty liver and coronary artery disease isn't really a good game plan. Type 2 isn't just high blood sugar.
@@pamelakoretsky9909I’m not sure why you’re jumping on my question, but thanks for responding but your comment isn’t helpful. I know type 2 is more than high BG. That’s the reason for my question and why I’m working on my health. I haven’t traded high BG for fatty liver disease or coronary artery disease. US and labs shows liver normal size and function and CAC score 0. Doctor said very healthy. So do you but don’t chime in when you have nothing to offer
@@leeseflaherty6994 not hearing what you want to hear from someone is not the same as them having nothing to offer. Here is what I offer...FACTS...CUTTING EDGE MEDICAL FACTS... , low carb high fat results in increased insulin resistance over time. Type 2 is a progressive disorder, earliest physiology signs are loss if Beta Cell mass and function. Loss of function is notable first in phase 1. This is where people with subclinical Type 2 or Early (pre) Type 2 start to notice some unexplainable weight gain. Fat cells work better with insulin but don't need it and excess glucose that cant get into the cells that use it as fuel gets stored as fat in fat cells and glycogen in the liver. Your Dr can't see signs of this on routine blood tests except maybe a slight shift in your cholesterol profile...likely all still in the normal range and unless you are of an age when that screening is routine annually it will be missed. Insulin resistance is triggered as an adaptive response ss things progress and phase 2 picks up the heavy work but is fighting against insulin resistance now. So in phase 2 the pancreas has to crank out more insulin to cover the same amount of carbs. This it why C Peptide is high in Pre (early) and clinical Type 2 diabetes. At least early on. By the time you are diagnosed as Type 2, 40 percent of you Beta Cell mass is lost. Low carb diets make vfc this work because carbs trigger signaling not only for satiety and insulin release so carbs can be burned for fuel, but as also for Beta Cell turnover and replacement but also insulin production. Type 2 is not caused by obesity...it causes weight gain in the form of fat. The things you can do that result in fat loss also take some of the stress off already abnormal glucose regulation and you see a decrease in insulin resistance by looking at secondary things like LDL and Triglycerides and ratios. Your Dr doesn't run the direct tests, and unless you are on injectable or inhaled nsulin and can see that you are needing less insulin to cover the same sugar load (lower insulin:carb ratio) you can't know if you have less insulin resistance. You cant cure it reverse pre or full type 2 diabetes. What you can do is eat a healthy BALANCED diet with proper portion control based on how your body responds, exercise to build lean muscle mass so that you gave more tissue that can respond to insulin and actually burn the carbs in your diet. This will as allow you to cont rte old one symptom of Type 2 diabetes for a while...your blood glucose. But ultimately Type 2 is a genetic carb metabolism malfunction and is progressive. Again, being fat or sedentary doesnt cause it....otherwise all those people on MY 600 LB LIFE would have diabetes. NONE of them do. Practical advise: 40 - 50 percent of your daily calorie intake should be from carbs...just make 90 percent of that fiber and complex carbs, go easy on sugars from any source and starchy foods. And if need meds to help then take them. It's not a personal failure to take meds for cancer or an infection, and it's not a personal failureto to take meds to help control your BG with Type 2 diabetes. They are just another tool along with dietary changes and muscle building. That's coming from s fellow diabetic with a medical degree and decades in diabetes and other medical research. I'm not here to scam you or sell you a "fast cure". Just to bv tell you the facts. Knowledge iui s power if you truly want it.
Read Mastering Diabetes to begin to learn the biochemistry
Can’t agree with you on that one. If you look at total insulin per day and the average glucose level combined, I don’t think you can compare to a low carb diet.
You take more units of insulin to cover a particular carb load with insulin resistance even if total carbs per day and thus insulin injection over all is lower. You miss the elephant in the room by not understanding the underlying physiology.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 The effect you describe is well known and documented. Insulin is a master metabolic hormone. It does a LOT more than regulating glucose uptake. When you stop eating a lot of carbs for a long time, your cells adapt To be more efficient at burning free fatty acids and less efficient at burning glucose. While they do both go through the Krebs cycle, the “preprocessing” is different. It’s not insulin resistance. It’s the body adapting to its environment. That’s a good thing.
@@DS-vu5yo Have you checked out Roy Taylors work on Type 2 Diabetes? It applies to everyone, but is quite intresting for diabetics in particular. Im Type 1, and do semi low carb diet (90-98% plantbased, mostly vegtables). Works just fine for me, and my bloodwork is steadily improving. Insulin requirements are quite low compared to when I got Type 1 last year, and for the first months followed a standard diet (altho quite healthy version of it, but with much more fat).
Im a relative novice to this, hence Im doing regular bloodpanels. Ive had to adjust things based on it, so its defintly work in progress.
You are looking at the wrong parameters and missing the whole point of reversing insulin resistance to be able to live on carbohydrates having truly reversed insulin resistance and the resulting diabetes
I disagree. I ate very low carb for close to 9 months. When I started eating carbs again I found I was able to eat a heavy carb meal and Baskin Robbin ice cream for dessert and my sugar didn’t go higher than 115 at 2 hrs post prandial.
Really? Now im really confused. Were you low carb AND high fat for 9 mos or low carb AND low FAT?
improving insulin sensitivity through low carb, that's right, that guy speakïng is mîsleadïng
What was your BG at 1/3, and 1 hour? If you go over 140 at any point your body cant process carbs properly. Over 200 at 1 hour full blown diabetes.
You must have lost weight
@@manuelglenno the science is well understood. High fat and oils blocks the insulin receptors of cells causing insulin resistance
Your honor.
That's because your blood sugar from carb intake is low, and then your body is under stressed for getting energy.
If you are under stress, cortisol spike up and insulin antagonize against cortisol. And vice-versa.
So insulin works are limited. So for you like specially type 1, the solution would be your body required (assessed or calculated) optimal carb intake combined with Keto. friend.
Other reason why you are under stress is because if you reduce carb intake your fiber tends to decrease also. Then gut microbiom goes to get angry 😠 cause they don't have food.
Also LCFA which they produce doing lots of cell metabolic works decrease. The results are long term insulin insensitive-ness and resistance in their end.
Cheers.😂
What is the best advice for keto diabetics?
Dont it causes increase in heart disease and bv increase in insulin resistance coupled with accelerated loss of Beta cells mass and function.

How many carbs you ate a day
@@ZanBailey94 Less than 10 gram

It will be very damaging long term. You are confusing short term improvements with long term damage
@@richardjackson5380 How?
I’d love to know what you eat now since you stopped whole food plant based and low carb
He stopped low carb and started whole food plant based. He looks for high fibre foods with low carbohydrate/fibre ratio so that increase in blood sugar can be as slow as possible and easy to manage
I have been a type 2 diabetic for a long time. What I've notice about a lot of diabetics is that they are afraid of eating carbs. They feel that they have to eat like 50g or less carbs a day. They can't eat certain foods because it'll spike their blood sugar.
Carbs will raise blood sugar, even if it's 2 points.
This goes for everyone, but right now I am addressing diabetics. The problem is that a lot of people don't pay attention to serving sizes and how many carbs are in a seving. For example a serving of milk is 8oz. How many milk drinkers only drinks 8oz of milk or put 8oz of milk in their cereal? A lot of milk drinkers don't even own a 8oz cup or glass, so that means they are drinking more than the seving size. The higher the serving, the higher the carbs rises. 8oz is not a lot of milk. 8oz = 12g of carbs.
Diabetic classes teaches diabetics how to eat like a diabetic. They teach you how to count servings of carbs.
A serving of carbs is 15g of carbs. For non stachy vegetables a serving is 5g of carbs.
Milk with 12g of carbs would be 1 serving of carbs.
Diabetics are taught to eat 15g of carbs for snacks and 45g of carbs for meals. Some could eat more, but that's the baseline.
How do you know how many servings of carbs you are eating? You divide the total carbs by the appropriate serving.
Example: 2 slices of bread with 11g of carbs each totaling to 22g of carbs.
22/15 = 1.46 rounded to 1.50. 11/2 servings of carbs.
Say you have a meal that includes rice with 43g of carbs and a cup of broccoli.
Rice with 43g of carbs. 43/15 = 2.86 rounded to whole number 3 serving of carbs for rice and 1 serving for broccoli, so total of servings of carbs would be 4.
Eating like a diabetic is not hard.
Or you know... just don't consume them at all
Math is tiresome
@@SfalmaTasFrenas I will never stop eating carbs.
@@msarchieve1749 ok, I think we're done here
Thank you! I feel like low carb is just the "band-aid". It doesn't fix the root.
All countries where people are thin and diabetes is unheard if are those where people work a lot and eat little and eat fruit and lots of low fat REAL foods!
What should type 2 diabetics eat?
Not carbs or sugar. Type 2 can be easily reversed
@@jcoughlin325 medically and physiologically type 2 cannot be reversed. Also your body needs carbs. Type 2 starts with a decline in Beta Cell mass and function resulting in decreased phase 1 insulin response. This occurs long before any ris ed in BG or A1C can be measured. Insulin Resistance is the body's attempt to compensate and spare insulin and glucose for dependent organs. In Type2 IR is the early result of diabetes it does not cause diabetes. Beta Cell mass cannot be restored so even when BG is controlled with meds diet and exercise the underlying defect is still there. You still have diabetes. And with Type 2 there is still progression over time and long term complications. Physiological starvation in the form of dirt induced ketosis is not the answer.
And btw the definition of remission in Type2 is that you have a normal a1c for 2 years of tests. Not that the disorder cannot be detected. Gold standard for diagnosis of Type 2 is an OGTT once you hff ave a diagnosis of Type2 it will always show on that test. And Type 2 diagnosis clinically using an A1C generally takes years even decades past the earliest stages....stage 2 Insulin response defect.
@@pamelakoretsky9909no Professor Roy Taylor has demonstrated that insulin response and production absolutely CAN be improved by striping fat from the pancreas
@@pamelakoretsky9909insulin resistance will continue to show unless you reverse it
Can you please share
Eat a snickers bar and see if you really improved insulin resistance.
I did eat the snickers bar after years of low carb/high fat and my sugar went extremely high as it did before.
I lost weight and feel so much better on low carb/high fat but it did not improve my insulin sensitivity....which is ok, because I feel better, much better medical numbers and I don't plan on indulging in high carbs.
Dr. Bernstein wrote a fantastic book called The Diabetes Solution. It's literally life changing for diabetics.
Are you diabetic Johnny ?
@@Dan23_7 my 9 year old son is. He was diagnosed last August after being admitted with DKA. We were told "eat anything, just bolus with insulin". The first two weeks were a roller coaster of highs in the 200's and a few hypos. Within two more weeks of eating (as a family) low carb his insulin was cut to zero. He was obviously honeymooning too. We went from early September until a week ago with no insulin and fantastic BG's. A1C from 11+ to 5.5 and we will get to 5.0. We just recently started giving 1.5 units of Basal (Levemir) to better control his BG. He's happy, healthy and eats great and has low carb, sugar free desserts every night.
"That's what happened to me" ..? Do you have details? I have heard of a very temporary insulin sensitivity when you are on a strict keto diet, since your body has adapted to running off of fats instead of pumping out insulin all the time. But you can produce the insulin again after a couple days, if you really needed to ... but just stick with a very low carb diet and keep up with the health benefits! Avoid the need for insulin entirely!
There are no benefits to a keto diet. It is very damaging long term and causes all the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke etc
The way he does not give a reason why you will get insulin resistant in low carb diet 🥴🥴🥴
Keto makes your body switch into long term fat burning mode which in other words is STARVATION MODE. Early in starvation...glucose deficit...insulin resistance in the liver and peripheral non-insulin dependent tissues spares glucose for the use of glucose by dependent organs such as key parts of your brain that handle higher function. In the case of any type of diabetes anything that promotes insulin resistance is bad and if you are on true keto...in ketosis...and diabetic you are playing with fire. And again I'm sharing this as a fellow diabetic who happens to have a medical degree...Dr.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 So, is Keto or Low carb ok for someone who is not diabetic? I'm just trying to lose weight and most things I've tried like resistance training, cardio, lowering calories, daily five mile walks, eating once a day didn't work at all. Thank you
Ok eise guy...here is your answer. Your entire body prefers carbs for its optimal fuel source. Carbs are quickly converted to glucose your bodies preferred fuel at the cellular level. When you dont have enough carbs coming in, and liver has exhausted its reserves...glucose stored as glycogen signals are sent out to ensure that glucose is preserved for glucose dependent organs. Some parts of your body can run on ketones but not at optimum level. In order to leave the little glucose available from diet, or gluconeogenesis (which is a wasteful molecular process and damaging to your body when it is prolonged....if bnb your body is going that it thinks you are starving and starts breaking down muscle. Organs and even the less critical parts of your brain...the high cognitive function areas...to use as fuel) insulin resistance in the liver and muscles is initiated. THAT is how a low carb, and especially a low carb/high fat diet results in insulin resistance. And short tutorial was as simplified as an explanation can get unless you have a medical degree or advanced study in biology.
@@EEEBA1 no, not long term. It puts your body into starvation mode...lead in n ggv to insulin resistance, the break down of lean body mass, and a doen regulation of over all metabolism. If you did moderate carb, low sugars and starches. High fiber, moderate er rate high quality protein...and you excersise...weight bearing or resistance, combined with moderate cardio that puts you into fuel burning mode. You may be interested to know that long term keto is associated with low testosterone. Men and women need testosterone to build muscle. Cognitive function in previously normal individuals declined on long term keto. I wont even go into how unhealthy keto is for heart health.
@@pamelakoretsky9909 Ok. But how do I naturally if possible reverse my insulin resistance, my A1c is good at 5.4
Thank you for the explanation above.
I have yet to hear a reason why this matters for type 1 diabetics.
Because a T1 can also be insulin resistant causing far more insulin to be needed and also the frustration and difficulties of managing blood sugars effectively because the fat content of the diet has been overlooked. Whether T1 or T2 eating low carb over time brings on all the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke etc
@@richardjackson5380 Not a logiical statement
@@jeffmagic32entirely logical
@@jeffmagic32which bit are you unable to understand?
@@richardjackson5380 The reason you provide is that more insulin is needed. But that was the question, so it can't also be the answer.
That's what happened to you, proving that everyone is different.
Nope, everyone is not different. We are all human beings and the biochemistry is well understood
Great
Its nice info but what happened to you will not necessarily happen to others, gotta experiment and find out whats best for your body chemistry.
Happens to everyone tested. We are all humans with the same basic biochemistry
What’s your suggestion?
How do you measure your insulin sensitivity? Blood insulin levels? A more insulin-resistant person would have higher blood insulin? A less insulin-resistant person would have lower blood insulin?
And for those on insul in n sensitivity is defined by a low insulin to carb unit ratio for bolus dosing.
Yes the ratio of carbohydrates to insulin
Low carb, high protein is the way. Use R insulin
Doctor Berstein
That is the way to suffer all the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, stroke due
proof please, cite research
Read Mastering Diabetes by two T1 diabetics and biochemists which brings together the learning from EVERY single study ever published on diabetes! All the references you could ever wish for and you can begin your education into biochemistry
@@richardjackson5380 I won’t buy and read a book to find support an offhand claim he should have backed up by citing research available online.
So if we stay off carbs and eat high fat moderate protein and are active every day say like a.... hunter gatherer, then are blood sugar stays stable and low. We are hear today be cause our ancestors were successful. I will stick tohat and just have the occasional chocolate cookie LOL
It's fantasy to imagine that's how our ancestors ate.
No human (diabetic or not) should eat carbs or sugar ever.
Humans have been eating carbs for last 30,000 years if not more
@@roderickclerk5904 not the high glycemic carbs that are everywhere today. Also how long has refined sugar been available?
@@jcoughlin325 other than refined sugar carb sources today are not much different than thousands of years ago. The only difference is nutrient content is slightly lower and even that doesn’t make much of a difference. Tons of people eat as much 60% of calories as carbs and still look great and are healthy
@@roderickclerk5904 so people were eating bread and pasta 30,000 years ago? No way. If anything the carbs that were consumed were starchy vegetables which are lower on the glycemic index. I'll stick to my original comment that no human needs carbs ever. They do not need to be consumed by adults or children.
@@jcoughlin325 bruh I eat like 400 gm of carbs a day which is 60% of my calories (2800). Don’t have high blood pressure, dont have high cholesterol, don’t have high glucose, very insulin sensitive, near perfect hair, very healthy waist to hip, high peripheral fat distribution, much lower biological age. Pretty much at every health marker I’m extremely good and eat a lot of carbs. Though a little less than half are fruits and vegs and more than half are breads (mostly whole grain). I’ll eat sweet treats like once a week
