Update February 2023: After nearly two months of KETO I brought my HOMA IR down to 1.6 :)
Forgot to tell you guys about another symptom. When eating a lot of carbs I had a feeling if somebody would grab my kidneys. I even went to the hospital but doctors would not believe me. Strange feeling. With reduced carbs that feeling went away tough.
What about steak 🥩 or ham 🍖? So-called “red meat”?
Sorry to hear this Lilly but at least you caught it early! That said, along w/following your Dr's advice, please look up Dr Berg on youtube... he has 10M + subs & covers keto & diabetes 2. Also, regarding prepping and keto, don't forget about sardines/sprats and beef, chicken, turkey & pork "jerky." You should also look into freeze-drying and/or buying your own freeze-dryer, of which, I would actually like to see you add freeze-drying videos to your youtube channel! All the best, Happy Holidays / Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family!
Hi Lily we watch you all of the time and are really sorry about you going through this. Please take care
Substitute soy milk?
I also have Hashimotos disease and type 2diabetes lately my blood sugar has been running really high even upon waking up. So back to trying to figure out my new triggers. As you get older it gets harder to control so if you can get control of both early and quickly then you will be fine. Good luck I hope your able to get it under control. Take care Lily.
I cured my liver, which was on the verge of cirrhosis with F3-F4 fibrosis. I cut carbs from my diet and 3 years later a Fibroscan shows my liver is now normal. No disease. About 8 months ago I went entirely to animal sourced food. My health is excellent now. I am a 75 year old man and I feel better than I have in many decades! You are on the path to restoring your health. Thank you for sharing your story.
Congratulation :)
Thanks for sharing Robert.
My uncle has been having the same symptoms. Thank you so much for the information!
Robert I too have an onset of kidney issue. Would love to talk to you about it...
how can we connect?
Robert Stanton
You say you're on "entirely animal sourced food"; that does not sound healthy, especially with the poisons that farmers put in animal feed such as steroids!
Thank you for sharing your very personal issues. And most importantly best of luck with your health and everything you do.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing about your medical journey. It might help countless people 💜
I was pre-diabetic a few years ago and went low carb. Now my blood sugars are all normal and I’m not pre-diabetic anymore. I’m rooting for you! You can do it!
Everything in moderation HOWEVER, there are "good carbs" and "not as good carbs"
Especially with diabetes, the sugary-starchy carbs should be limited.
I despise the f%% industrials who put sugar in everything from the bread we eat to even meat and vegetables because it's cheap and addictive
There are even type 1 diabetics who are using full carnivore diet and severely reducing insulin requirements. There are options regarding strategy. You can do it. 👍
You are in my prayers. Yes, you can do this!
Im high fat and under 20 TOTALcarbs NOT net carbs
What I love about you is that you never become a victim to big issues in every way. You face the challenge, assess what you need to do and you actually DO IT and not just talk about making changes. Thank you for your example.
She'll have to cut out the spaetzel 😢
You are helping your followers by sharing your medical issues. Keto will definitely help. Merry Christmas!
I just clicked on your video and heard your story of dealing with Pre Diabetes!
I am now Type Two and have been for about 10 years. My Father was Diabetic and his Mother and Father. I am now 73 so was over 60 when I started testing my Blood Sugars and taking a couple of meds that help keep it under control. How I miss carbs but fortunately I love meat, fish , pork, lamb and vegetables.
You seem serious and determined to to take care of it.
Wishing you the best with it and have all the confidence in the world that you can defeat It! I like the videos too.
My friend developed diabetes. He started doing the keto diet about 6 years after he was diagnosed and he got to the point where he didn't need medication anymore. Huge difference.
Cancer can't live or grow whatsoever without sugars as well. Americans eat probably 10x more sugars and bleached starches than we should. Good on your friend for taking care of that head on. Dropping quick carbs is a great health move for several reasons.
I have type 2 diabetes. I tried the keto diet. I ended up going into ketoacidosis. A balanced diet with no artificial sweeteners or carbs got me to the point of no medication.
@@spankymageethat's true, but there's been no evidence to show that eating sugar makes cancer grow quicker, or that it causes it directly, it doesn't help, but nothing says eating a crap ton of sugar will cause or quicken cancer growth.
You’re still beautiful and always will be Lilly. You have many people I’m sure that will be praying for you! God Bless you.
Please keep us updated!!💕🙏🏾
Food is not medicine folks. Insulin resistance is not reversible. Best not to develop it in the first place! But if you do please don't stop taking your insulin or any doctor ordered pills such as Metformin, etc. Check your blood sugar twice a day (the monitors cost $20 on Amazon.) Stay healthy!
My wife has been a Diabetes Educator for 16 years. With a few minor changes to your diet you can live a long and healthy life. My wife would be proud of you for bringing awareness to others ❤️🇺🇸
I wonder if she got the poke. That’s where my mind goes
@@jessed1586 There has been a lot of different illnesses happening to people ever since they started giving the vaccination for Covid here in the USA. The Media just don't talk about it. The flu is way up this year and so are heart conditions. I didn't trust the shot from the beginning.Never got it never will.
I am diabetes, lost 3/4 of my hair.
I swopped potatoes 🥔 out for sweet potatoes
Diabetes is all caused by diet. If you change your diet to a keto or carnivore diet within weeks or months your diabetes is gone.

Just a few comments for you Lillly. You are in a good spot right now to stop it! So happy you found out before it completely took over. I'm a type 2, have been that way for many years and you can control it with no medication. The thing is, it's going to hurt your preps because you really have to avoid pretty much "white" foods. Rice, Potatoes, bread, things like that. Now with that said, you might be able to tolerate small portions of those things, it takes lots of testing on yourself to see what carbs you absolutely have to avoid. This means, testing at the 1hr, 2hr and 3rd hour after meals to see how it does. Now the body is a funny thing though, what works today, might not work tomorrow. So you have to do lots of testing on the same foods on different days to truly understand if something affects you or not. It's just a big pain but if you put in the testing, then you will know what you can and can't eat.
Please look up Dr Jason Fung here on youtube. He is a wonderful diabetic specialist whose videos saved my life and that can show you many things you can do to help your diabetes. You will be shocked at the things that can set you off. Also, please be careful of zero carb sweetners. Some will work for you, some will spike you. You will have to do testing on those as well but it's totally worth it if you still want the sweet treat every now and then as there are some very nice keto dessert recipes that you can make in as quick as 90 seconds. Keto has it's benefits and I love it but I am less limited than you are on your food alergies so it might make it a little tougher to get variety but not impossible. Keep your chin up, you are in a great spot right now in that you know long before it becomes much harder to deal with. Bravo to you for trying to bring awarness to diabetes.
Yikes! I sincerely hope for things to improve and you still feel better over time. Praying you make all the necessary changes and don't get hard on yourself when it gets challenging.
Thank you for sharing and hoping to hear the great necessary changes make the difference.
I dealt with this from 2014-2016, and was even on Metformin. A clean diet of meat and veggies, and cutting out carbs and sugars, I have healed my body and no longer need meds. I've actually just recently been able to come off my thyroid meds too...all because of a strict, clean diet :)
I've been low carb since 2003. Stopped weighing myself when I hit 326lbs and I would not be the least bit shocked to find out I hit a max of 350-360lbs before I started low carb. Lost 23lbs the first month. Over the years I've found low carb to be rather easy once you get into the swing of it. The first key is nothing white...no bread, pasta, rice, sugar or starch. ZERO grains. period! All the leafy greens you want and flowers are fine but no seeds. The hardest part I have found is adding enough fat into my diet. Generally if I have trouble I just add butter. I'm 200lbs now and I'm 6'5". I also have removed all processed seed oils from my diet and the only plant sources of fat for me are olive and coconut oil and a little sesame oil for flavour. Other than that it is lard, tallow and butter. As much as I want. I eat 15-20 eggs a week and snack on meat all the time. I also found it VERY helpful to get it out of your mind that there is a meal time. Our body's don't tell time. Eat throughout the day and the cravings are easily managed. Basically just graze.
I also found it helpful to look at carbs like a narcotic.. Treat getting off carbs like you are quitting cocaine or heroin. It's not going to be fun or easy but you CAN do it if you honestly want to. There's going to be days where you're going to feel emotional pain and it'll make it much harder to stay strong and away from the carbs. As for dairy the higher the fat the lower the lactose in it. I can't have milk as I am VERY lactose intolerant but I can have all the 10% and 35% cream I can stomach with no problems. No cheese though. Bear in mind that a lot of people can't have mushrooms when doing low carb so if you're a mushroom fan you're going to want to watch that as well. I found it best to restrict your diet VERY hard at first and then add back in one food at a time. Try it for a few days and see how your body responds. if it's good then you know you can keep having it. if you have negative reactions then check it off the list and go on to the next one. Pretty soon you'll be able to build up your diet enough to get a good picture of what you can and can't have. I try to keep my total carbs down to less than 50 grams a day.
It's going to be very hard but you CAN do it. I promise.
Can you tell me if beer & wine are considered carbs?
Would I have to delete them from my intake?
@@savage22bolt32 Yes. No alcohol on keto.
a few days is not enough, the body needs more time to adjust, maybe 6 weeks, better 3 month. and i totally agree on sugar as a drug. so better not trigger the addiction with stevia and co, and the cravings will go fast
@@15zokor55 Sorry. By a few days I meant introduce the food, let';s say broccoli, and within a few days you should know how your body tolerates it. You'll feel how your gut reacts, if it affects your sleep, if you feel nauseous or energetic. But you REALLY have to pay attention. if it's bad you'll know pretty quickly. The key is getting to know your body and most people don't do that.
@@savage22bolt32 If you need a drink, hard alcohol and club soda. Absolutely no beer or wine.
Hello, Lilly. I saw your episode on Discovery Plus and think that you and your partner did such a great job surviving the 21 day challenge! I believe that you got this too!!
You are an angel for sharing this information to help others. I am in my 70's and have 2 serious conditions, adapting and coping can be tricky at times. Wishing you all the best. My next challenge is to get back out into the woods, your videos are helping to encourage me and for that I am most gratefull.
It always strikes me as odd when someone who is not overweight gets this. I pray you get better Lily!
It's actually not that uncommon, as people age living with high carb diets
even children can get it. Body weight is not the only factor
It's the high glycemic carbs and sugar laden foods that sop many Westerners eat....cakes, pies, candy, sodas, and even high carb veggies like corn, beans, etc
Rest assured that many of us plain old fat people get it too.
High carb is fine, it's the type of carbs you're eating. Processed kills.
Lilly, In Sep 2021 I was diagnosed with diabetes 2. My AIC was 9.3. I had been pre-diabetic for several years and I got depressed and quit paying attention to what I was eating. Anyway, I decided I was not going to be diabetic. I went on the Keto diet and as of the end of August 2022 my AIC dropped to 5.2. last month my doctor said I have no signs of diabetes. You are very disciplined and I know you will beat this. I am praying for you and one last thing. Thanks for designing both of your knives. I have purchased both of them and they are great. God bless you.
I'm thinking A1C is the same as 'HOMA'. I've been Keto-ish for years and just have a fasting glucose test once a year. He never even orders an A1C any more.
@@barrybogart5436 HomaAR is a test of Insulin levels. All "pre-diabetics" have massive insulin levels. Your poor pancreas works overtime making it. at some point, it can no longer keep up and you get diagnosed with full blown diabetes.
@@The411 A test for Insulin Resistance, then?
@@barrybogart5436 Yes. A high level of insulin to manage blood sugar in the normal range is an accurate indication of insulin resistance. Most tests concentrate on blood sugar, and if it's "normal", the doctor will say everything is ok. However, your pancreas may be pumping out MAX insulin 24/7 to keep the sugar low. Eventually, it will be overwhelmed and you will be diagnosed Diabetic.
I don't know a lot about Diabetes,but I hear lots of positive things but Dr.Berg sounds like the go to guy.His videos helped me in so many other areas.Im kind of a non traditional gal,due to unflavory experiences in medical industry.Havent stepped foot in a Dr.Office in 16 yrs& hope I'm blessed to continue.I just recently stumbled across your videos& plan to watch more. Also,I love your self concer, analysis, investigation,etc to your health. We're all in this together. Sharing is Caring ❤️🤗🙏
I can meat little water, no salt.90 minutes@15 pounds. I pack raw fresh. USA made ball lids. Electricity may fail. I buy fresh tuna canned in salt water. and ration medium size cans in 3 days. No milk or wheat flour. Digestion and energy went up! Lots of squash, pumpkin canned, no salt, little water. I eat a lot of winter garden with it.
Thank you for being up front and personal! You and Nate, the Canadian Prepper, both do it and I appreciate it, thanks!
Merry Christmas
Be encouraged Lilly. I also tested positive to the food sensitivities you have. After months off gluten and dairy I tried eggs again and no longer felt the symptoms I used too. Basically what happens is that your body is so irritated by the dairy and gluten that other foods become intolerable to it too. It is not a guaranteed thing but once you heal your gut you may be able to eat a few more things that at first you had to give up. Keep up the awesome work you are doing. God bless.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEE MY COMMENT ABOVE!
Same. I am sensitive to Annatto, which made me lactose intolerant. I cut out all annatto and no longer lactose intolerant.
I went carnivore and found I could have cream again without any side affects.
Please be careful..
eggs trigger intestinal parasite growth
Please research
Eggs are a major allergen
They really should not be eaten
humans have been very brainwashed
I hope all can learn proper eating
I wish you all a healthy food journey
@@traceywu9123 That's quite interesting because I personally eat about 8 eggs every single day. 6 scrambled and 2 raw. I have no issues and it's been 8 months. In fact, my bowels are much better than they were before...
Your friends and we are so glad you are feeling better! We have gone camping with you up north and you have taught us about bow hunting etc. Thank you for telling us and now we can pray for you more effectively. God bless you. RDS
Thanks, Lilly for the information; it will inform many people about diabetes and what to look for. I enjoy your videos on youtube. I've been concerned about the energy shortage in Europe and how difficult this winter has been for you. I wish you the very best.
Lily... You probably have developed what is called "Leaky Gut". I developed this, and my health took a nose dive. I believe Ive always had mild allergies to dairy and wheat... but when I developed leaky gut... things got 1000x worse. In fact, I also used to eat eggs without issues. When my gut was leaking, if I ate eggs... it would cause my intestines to swell up to the point where I couldnt go poop for like 3 days. Daily caused me to get so phlegmy, that Id be hacking up mucus for several hours. Wheat would cause extreme fatigue, but also.. it was causing auto-immune responses. It blocked nutrient absorption.. so would cause great bodily pains, joint pains, etc.. because the body didnt have the needed nutrients to do daily repairs. The auto immune responses, started with the needed removal of my Gall Bladder. From that point... I started to develop a Nodule on my thyroid... and so they removed half of my thyroid. Right before things hit their worst... Id eat a bowl of pasta, and in less than 30 min.. Id have an explosive toilet session. That was enough to finally get me to realize, that there was a Gluten allergy... and eventually, I changed my diet, which vastly improved my health.
Still, it would take some time, to repair my Leaky Gut. I was out of work for over a year.. and so I went into a deep state of depression. During that time, I didnt feel like spending much time cooking.. so I bought a large box of frozen hamburger patties at Walmart... and Id fry a single burger up once a day. I ate nothing else, other than maybe some fried potatoes, on occasion. Eventually I bought a micro nutrient liquid Vitamin mix (expensive, but very powerful), and I also tried some collagen powder (for a month). I think it might have taken half a year or more, before my gut was mostly / fully healed.
I slowly tried a few things. First was yogurt. Next was to try some cheese. Neither of them were causing massive issues like before. Next was eggs. I was no longer getting massive inflammation of my intestines, with eggs. And finally, I started to try eating some wheat / pasta. I no longer had massive explosive bathroom issues. That said, I know it still made me more tired, and still effects me negatively. In fact, even dairy still has a negative effect on me... but again, its still a Fraction of what it was, as my worst state.
I have a theory, that leaky gut, is caused by GMO corn, put into Candy. They might have changed the GMO corn to be less harmful, quietly, without anyone knowing about it. Then again, it might also be brought on by Glyphosate (round up pesticide.. which is often still found in traces, on wheat products). Whatever the case is, I believe it starts destroying your gall bladder first.. and then eventually messing up your thyroid. From there, things get worse and worse... into a mega downwards spiral.
I'm a diabetic prepper and the best thing I learned is how to pressure can meat. Freezers lose power. I'm also insulin dependent so prepping insulin is another challenge. Thanks for your openness...it will help many people.
I'm proud of you having this video. I discovered myself that I have Type 2 a few years ago. It hit me hard. Especially, with the all the survival stuff I like to do and simply general camping and outdoors stuff. But I know you can do this. It just takes research and patience. I've been truly blessed watching your videos and can't wait for what you have next.
Good luck with your health issue👍 Something people might want to keep in mind is getting to many carbs in your diet. Especially when it it comes to prepping. Many of the long-term food kits rely mostly on carbs for caloric content. Better to buy #10 cans so you can pick and choose your food preps. Although you may pay a bit more doing preps this way. Your prep stash will keep you much healthier when you do need them😺
Thanks for sharing this info with us Lily!👍😸
I think there is an opportunity in this situation that you can make a whole new avenue of content that includes how a person could prep with such conditions. Best of everything to you, Lily!🌟
Please take care of yourself for you and your family. Plus we all love listening to you and learning from you.
🌺 Here’s something easy to try …
Don’t eat
any white food
Sugar, Flour and such.
So Eat Smaller quantities of those..
Good Luck❣️
Really sorry to hear this. I am a PhD biochemist and spent 10 years in the area of type 2 diabetes.
You have a fairly rare set of characteristics. Bummer. All the very best to you. Hopefully you can control it through diet and exercise. It does sound like there is an autoimmune component, which is a factor in type 1.
There is a Lilly drug which helps with insulin insensitivity. It is close to a drug I helped develop for a different pharma firm but which never went to market for business reasons, not medical reasons.
All the very best to you.
I am so sorry that you have come down with pre-diabetes, Lilly. It is not an easy disease to cope with but I am so glad to hear that you are taking an aggressive stance towards dealing with your new situation. I have been fighting my own battle against type 2 diabetes for 20 years now and I can honestly say that education and vigilance are the keys to successfully living with this condition. Take care of yourself, Lilly!
20 years ago there was no way of knowing this, but now we know the cure of type II diabetes is a low carb diet (or the ketogenic diet. Try it, you'll get rid of all medication and be completely healthy again eventually. Good luck!
You can reverse it. Check Dr Ken Berry and Dr Eric Westman of Duke university. They gave a lot of information that will help you. Not easy but you can avoid the consequences.
Lilly, thank you for all your videos. My husband grew up eating eggs every single day but when he was in his mid 20s eggs started making him sick. It was very strange and for over a decade he would not eat them at all. Finally we moved to a country house and started raising few chickens for our kids. We would use only non-soy organic chicken feed and it turns out he could eat those eggs just fine, no problem at all. The store bought organic eggs would still make him a little sick because those hens are fed feed that contain organic soy (he is sensitive to soy). I just wanted to mentioned it to you, if you have not done it already just try truly organic eggs from hens never fed soy. I hope it helps! Hugs and best wishes from Florida
Thank you for sharing your health issues. You are helping many people I believe. I am Pre-diabetic myself for different reasons. You are so honest and very forthcoming. I have a great deal of respect for you. I do however miss watching you set up your magnificent shelters in the forest. Bye
Recovering T2D here. It's definitely reversible, and you caught it early. Sounds like you got a good doctor testing your insulin level and mentioning the carbohydrate link to T2D caused by metabolic syndrome. For me, dropping my carb intake to 20g or less a day has enabled me to keep my diabetes in remission. Initially, I cut out all the processed
efined carbs and all the sugars. I was surprised to see how many processed foods are loaded with sugar. Breads, rice and pastas were the final things I gave up. Keto's definitely a good way to go. I'd like to suggest for fish, sardine, mackerel, and herring. They are smaller fish so they'll have lower heavy metal levels. For reference, my HOMA-IR is 1.4 now. My HbA1c went from 9.8% to 5.3%.
Thanks for sharing Lilly - I was diagnosed in 2017. I was depressed after the diagnosis. I bought a Porsche because that was on my bucket list.
Stay strong and it’s not the end of the world. When I was pre-diabetic, I decided to go on metformin to help my body heal. I had to take the slow acting one because the normal one makes me feel bad. Metamucil is your friend and helps keep blood sugars down and prevents you from over eating. I’ve had to increase my exercise and what types of exercise I do. Doing weightlifting helps use another metabolic pathway that directly puts glucose into muscle without insulin. As for prepping , I too had to change what I had to save for food. I bought a freeze dryer from harvest right and started to freeze dry meat and bought canned proteins and nuts. Again thanks for sharing you’re not alone in this journey. Best wishes to you.
i have type 2 diabetes and the VA DOCTOR wanted to start me on meds which the metformin gave me terrible stomach aches and the insulin gave me terrible head aches so after 4 days i stopped them.. I them felt dizzy just 12 days ago and threw up my food and the next day i got dizzy again. Then someone said to try CUMIN and so i did and WOW IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE.. I eat about 1/2 teaspoon daily in foods and drink and wow i am a changed person..
it turns out that INDIA HAS THE LOWEST INCIDENCE OF DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE BECAUSE THEY EAT CURRY POWDER WHICH IS TURMERIC AND CUMIN
THANK YOU JESUS FOR HELPING ME AMEN
I hope you get better,your prayers are with you 🙏❤Thanks Lilly, I know it's not fun, been fighting this cancer myself.
Thinking of you Lilly 🙏
I wish you well and hope you can reverse your condition soon...
Lots of hugs 🫂
Gus
Hi Lilly. Thanks for sharing this. As for me I am a Type II diabetic on insulin. I avoid the Keto diet like the plague because it was never intended as a diet. Having to monitor my blood sugar 4 times a day, I would also have to get a keto monitor to track the level of acid in my blood. The keto diet can cause damage to the heart, kidneys, pancreas and brain if not monitored correctly. I avoid whole nuts like cashews and pistachios. No more processed foods and especially no more foods like the camping dehydrated foods. I am sugar free, but there are always foods that can produce sugar in the body. Keep an eye on your blood pressure as well! I hope and pray you do beat the pre stage, because Type II really sucks.
💕 glad you found out early...
And by sharing you have helped someone else.
Dry your fresh fish and meat while you can still get it 🍀
maybe research growing your own fish as part of gardening and irrigation 💕🤠
Thank you for sharing. It takes guts to talk about personal matters, props to you lilly, hope you get well soon.
Wishing you all the best!! Thanks for sharing.
Alles Gute für dich....🍀
Lilly, Stay strong and you know what needs to be done. I am Asian descent and I gave up a lot of Chinese food 8 years ago finding out that my cholesterol is high because of my mom side and I changed my eating . I have watched you channel for years and I know that your one of the strongest and inspiring woman that I have watched with my nieces. Our prayers for you in this difficult times be with you getting thru this. Take care.
Get well soon Lilly. Praying for your good health. We love you.❤️❤️❤️
Pray that you’re feeling better soon. Grateful that you have a plan. I had T2D and didn’t know it! I’m no longer on medication but exercise daily and eat a healthy diet!
Wow Lilly, I'm sorry to hear your going through this. I have alot of diabetics in my family and you have nailed it by getting to the doctor right away. We all get something as we age and your on top of this. It seems like your ability to be versatile will help you succeed. Much love ❤️.
Thank you, Lilly for sharing. I wish you the very best 💓
Take care of yourself (as you already are) I've been diabetic since 1990, it's a large club that you really don't need to join !
Bless you, and good luck! Always look forward to seeing your videos, and hoping the next one will have you feeling better!
Best of luck to you, Lily. Your admirers here in Texas think the world of you
Much love from the States! Good for going to the doctor and finding out these concerns. We're all cheering for you!
Ffor the last 6 years I've been tuning in every few months to see what you're up to. I've grown to appreciate the type of pragmatic and analytical person you are. I have every bit of confidence that you can overcome this complication in your life. You're are disciplined and smart person! Much love from Finland
Stay strong Lilly. I've always loved your posts and videos, if any one can survive this situation - it's YOU. Love and prayers from rural Australia.
So sorry you have this problem, Lilly. Praying for your good health, and that you and your family have a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Healthier New Year.
Hello Lilly, and thank you for posting this. Here in the USA there are countless people with pre-diabetes, many of which don't know about it. Sadly, at least here in the USA, the condition is not taken seriously by the medical community until it crosses the threshold of full-on type-2 diabetes. Common treatment is simply adding more and more insulin to a carb-rich diet, and blaming everything else. Several years ago I too was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The doctor I had at the time sadly wasn't too concerned, while their reaction should have been to immediately educate me. I already was already feeling terrible, so I soon found my own motivation to get healthy.
One of the biggest issues with diabetes and pre-diabetes is the effects on the body of insulin itself. It's a major growth hormone. If I understand what I've been reading correctly, increases in insulin begin to happen years before sugar levels rise. The body's muscle cells still absorb the sugars from the high-carb diet, but it takes more and more insulin to do it. At some point, the pancreas simply can't keep up with the demand, the muscles can't absorb all the sugar, then this sugar stays in the bloodstream longer and longer. From this point, it only gets worse until medications are prescribed to increase insulin production, or even directly supplementing insulin. It's at this point it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight, yet sadly weight is seen as a cause and not an effect of insulin resistance. It breaks my heart so many people are "fat shamed" at this stage, especially considering a large number of thin people have the same exact condition.
My suggestion is to do a ton of reading on the topic. In addition, there are a couple youtube channels I recommend:
Ken Berry MD gets right to the point on these things. Both he and his wife eat a ketogenic diet, and his wife overcame hashimoto's with keto.
www.youtube.com/@KenDBerryMD
Dr. Cywes is another great source of information on his youtube channel and really gets into the details. He also focuses on the addiction aspect of carb consumption.
www.youtube.com/@DrCywesCarbAddictionDoc
Dr. Ud, a friend and co-worker of mine has a youtube channel that has a lot of great environmental content, and of particular importance to you may be his videos on mercury in fish, and which fish to consume and which to avoid.

Lastly I've been considering starting a low-carb cooking youtube channel, based on really simple constraints like making ingredients easy to source, the meals easy to cook, and the overall-cost affordable. I've found this journey and a new found awareness enlightening. With nothing but a cast iron skillet, anyone can rival the best steakhouses around, and usually at less than the price of a salad.
Oh yeah, I totally reversed my pre-diabetes. I also lost 55 lbs in the process. (and kept it off 2+ years) The amount of pain I wake up with is now 0, my resting pulse in in the high 50's, I only pee once a night, and running isn't hard. Health should always be a major part of all our preps. You've got this. You're in control of it. Results on keto happen swiftly. Hang on!
Sorry to hear about your health troubles Lilly. You are smart and tough and you’ll find a way to tackle it. Thank you for sharing your experience as this can help others.
Wishing you the best Lilly✌️🙏
I am not a doctor or any other medical professional, but herbs and natural healing has been my interest and hobby for years. My husband was diagnosed with prediabetic condition a few years ago, also with high blood pressure. I started to make a drink from fresh ginger root with cinnamon and cloves, and with other herbs it got him back on track. For high blood pressure he was drinking cranberry juice and ate lots of garlic (I would bake it in the oven so it would not have a strong smell). This ginger drink became our number one and I always have a bottle in the fridge.
Stay strong Lilly!
LILLY YOU ARE STRONG WILLED,YOU CAN DO THIS.I ENJOY WATCHING THE THINGS YOU DO ON YOU - TUBE.KEEP UP THE FINE WORK
Fasting fixes everything. Best wishes, Lilly. You're going to be fine.
I was looking for this post. I totally agree. Fasting is the supercure. Go on a 2 day wet fast, then a 3 day, then a 5 day, then a 7 day. Work your way up to a long term fast. Then once acclimated, graduate to doing the same with a dry fast. Break your fasts with organic bone broth and ease into regular foods very gradually. We love you Lilly.
I wish you all the the best Lilly. You have been one of my favorites for years now. My daughter is 13 and is experiencing horrendous stomach issues. Fortunately we will be seeing a Gastroenterologist in January. I hope everything works out for you.❤
Did your daughter get the shot?
I had terrible stomach issues for many years. A friend suggested I try drinking aloe and stop all the antacids (and soda pop).
Aloe didn't taste good but I drank it when I had an upset stomach and just sucked it up. It felt like a miracle within about 20 minutes. Sometimes the simplest answers turn out to be the right answers.
Aloe is honestly liquid gold & I've heard it helps diabetics balance blood sugar as well (though I don't have personal experience with this benefit). I like the Aloe Life brand or Herbalife makes a concentrate that's slightly fruity. God bless!
Yep, diagnosed with it 15 years ago, have given up trying to deal with it. Good luck to you Lilly, hope you get the support you need.
I pray youll try keto.
Why give up? It's completely reversible with low carb diet
It's not that much of a sacrifice. You still have meat and cheese - what's not to like? And all the veggies and fish you want.
@@barrybogart5436 true
Avoid vegetables. They are full of carbs and antinutrients.
So sorry to hear this Lilly. I also have Hashimotos and know what it's like to feel so very tired.
Thankfully with lifestyle changers, supplements and the whole food Red Juice I have the energy that I didn't have for many years.
I know you can turn this around Lilly. You're an inspiration to many and you'll inspire others once again on this new journey you're starting. Thank you for the work you do.
By the way, I now make my own milk from seeds, nuts, oats, etc. I put it in the machine and it's ready in 12 minutes and then I keep the milk in glass jars in the fridge. It tastes so amazing homemade! I don't miss the dairy milk at all.
I dropped my A1C from 6.6 (high pre-diabetic) down to 5.7 in just three months by cutting simple carbs out of my way of eating.
My cholesterol is also normal now, too.
I simply cut white and sweet potatoes, all breads, and pasta out of my diet.
I will eat a LITTLE keto bread... but my diet is mostly made up of meat and vegetables.
For RICE: we will cook it the day before and refrigerator it for 24 hours. Eating the rice the next day does REALLY help it not to spike my blood sugar.
For pasta: Banza makes a pasta that is made out of beans. And for mac & cheese: I'll make a 'cheese sauce' that is made out of coconut cream, salt, and nutritional yeast.
Dear, Lilly, thank you for sharing your health and medical condition to us following you on your excellent YT-Channel! Please take very very good care of you, and your health, and I will pray for healing blessings for you, and for help to receiving recovery to better values in your blood-tests and helping you to live more normal life as well! Wishing you all the best and please stay blessed! Best regards from Sweden!
Thanks for sharing your story..... Sardines could be your fish of choice.... I was diagnosed with "pre diabetes" and of course I was prescribed a med.... I never took the pills and started researching.... I went Keto/Carnivore.... I was shocked with the information available online.... I purchased a glucose meter ($9 major US retailer) and supplies also affordable.... I set up spreadsheet to track my glucose levels, weight, blood pressure, carbs/calories consumed, temp, ox level, waking, after meals , after exercise....In six weeks I have lost 12/lbs and my glucose is down 60% ... looking forward to my next appt when I am down another 12 lbs and my glucose is normal.... the look on the docs face when I hand over the full pill bottle will be interesting....
Carnivore. YES!
Gute Besserung liebe Lilly! Drück Dir ganz fest die Daumen dass Du alles gut in den Griff bekommst. Danke fürs Teilen!
Regarding 5:32, "Chickpea" in English is a type of legume bean which is also known as "Garbanzo" in Spanish. Hummus Middle Eastern food recipe is made from Chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.
A few years back I lost all of my hair. It was from a bad case of a type of scleroderma, morphea. I got this disease from working in a medical lab for decades, and found that many women can get this disease, working around chemicals, by the time they are in their fifties. I eventually retired from the lab and moved away from the big city. Although my mother said that having no hair was not a big deal, she wept when my hair came back years later. My hair had always been straight, without any body. It came back curly and full of life of its own. I will always have the morphea, but at least my hair came back, the rest of me kind of looks like a leopard as my skin is constantly making scar tissue where there was no injury.
What chemicals? This is a very important information to share with everyone. Thank you.
Really sorry that you're going through this miss, but glad you are taking control of the situation early, making the changes needed, and sharing the experience. Your experiences shared on your platform will help educate everyone that type 2 diabetes is totally not a "fat person's disease" but instead a medical condition that can affect everyone and anyone. I am sure that you will beat this and look forward to many future videos on the channel!!✌
God Bless you Lilly. Our son found out at 19 he was diabetic type 1. That’s been 9 years ago. It’s been a long tough road. Take care of yourself, onward and upward! 🙏🏻❤️
I love your prep videos. This one may have just helped my wife. Thanks Lilly.
Losing hair is very disturbing never mind the disease. I had a thyroid issue that is genetic and in treatment lost half my hair. I had very thick hair before and my hair never did grow back the same. Glad you are getting a handle on this thing you have.
You're not alone with that particular metabolic type. I too struggle with the very same issues. My doctors have suggested to focus on what causes inflammation. Its the response to that that causes the health challenges.
Good for you Lily!
I find sardines are a good fish, less mercury and abundant since the apex predators are fewer. There are 1700 mg of omega 3 in each tin. Try to find water packed and lower salt.
Four of five of my grandfathers siblings died of diabetes related complications. Thank you for sharing and take care of yourself.
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 21 years and reside in the United States. I went without any health insurance for five years....but have so now. After 21 years I have NO adverse symptoms....no damage whatsoever. Just take care of yourself and monitor your blood sugar.
I had a similar test and results indicated high sensitivity to eggs and chicken (in addition to wheat and corn). It was explained to me that it’s more about what the chicken is eating (ie corn treated with glyphosate). After changing my diet I feel 💯. I have prepped according to my diet as well. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I got my own chickens and never had a problem with eggs again. It's absolutely what the chickens have eaten. I know not everyone can keep their own chickens, but it is easy to make friends with someone that has them.
I don't have problems with my blood sugar but I do have autoimmune conditions & multiple food intolerances. Been feeling really sorry for myself lately that I have to remove so many things that I love from my diet & feeling rather "alone" because of it...I mean, so much of Western society is tied to eating/meals - especially this time of year! Your video came along at a good time for me...helped me to remember that I'm not the only one who is faced with huge dietary & social changes due to disease. I tried Carnivore (all meat) diet before, felt amazing & lost weight but allowed myself to "fall off the wagon" but your video makes me realize I need to grow up, stop sacrificing my health to foods & get back on Carnivore & stay there.
Me too, I dont have diabetes but histamine intolerance and cant have dairy, and gluten intolerant and I haven't been tested for other foods, its horrible going onto a low histamine diet, the foods I used to love I have to avoid otherwise I get mucus from hell and sneeze my brains out etc, papaya, pineapple, avocado, jams, all fermented foods, any food that is older than a few days etc etc, its so limiting but its worth it to NOT be sick, I feel for you
Tut mir leid, das zu hören! Alles Gute für Dich ❤
I am doing bloodwork this week. I also am trying low carb keto diet with fasting to prevent prediabetes. My mom had hypothyroid. I eat eggs & dairy often and veggies, bike a lot, and no serious diseases or injuries, and camp a lot. Small sea fish are good. Good luck Lilly!
Stay well, Lily. Diabetes type 2 can certainly be managed thankfully, sending you positivity.
That's a good sighn
Lilly, check out Health Coach Kait channel on CZcams. She is a low carb/keto expert...
@@JS-gz8qt I'm sure she'll be able to help her
Lilly, I remember when you told us you are hypothyroid. Now this. I want to tell you that this is the way it happened to me. First thyroid, then diabetes! There was so very much the doctors did not tell me for many years. Medical stuff. And foods to eliminate or severely limit. Rice, bread, pizza, potatoes, pretzels, chips, tortillas/taco shells, pasta, beans. When they first told me to go to a plant based diet, I thought I would be fine because I already ate a lot of vegetables, and some rice and beans, and soy. They should have named the foods I should not eat.
Note for your thyroid: rutabagas and turnips and some other brassica / cruciferous vegetables. and soy, are not good for thyroid. Use in strict moderation.
I could not understand why the doctors seemed to almost ignore my thyroid once I became diabetic. I inquired. My endocrinologist looked straight at me and said, "Because the diabetes will kill you much faster. The thyroid is controlled by medication. But diabetes is a progressive disease no matter what you do, so you must be very careful, in order to live a "normal" life."
Follow you doctors advice, of course.
Yes, and fish will take a LONG time to kill you, however polluted. The benefits outdo the risks for insulin issues.
I’m happy for the way you share your experience. I know folks that just accept these symptoms as “that’s life”. Meanwhile your description can help them perhaps consider testing. Nice of you to share
You’re very brave and selfless to share what you’re going through. I’m hoping you can reverse the effects and live long life.
Great that your doctor agrees with keto. Good advice and good luck.
I had something similar. Then I made the lifestyle change to go on intermittent fasting a little over half year ago, since then my bloodwork returned to normal, no longer at risk of diabetes and as long as I don't overeat carbs and milk products, I can pretty much eat anything.
It does worth to take a look into the benefits of intermittent fasting.
I have started out with just skipping breakfast because I never had time in the mornings anyway, and I spent the most time on the so called 18/6 daily plan. Once you get your body trained to not confuse cravings with hunger or thirst, it becomes easy enough that you can even forget about that you were supposed to eat.
I have gone from 114kg to 104kg with cutting out added sugars and bread from my diet, and only then I started the intermittent fasting, where I gone from 104kg to 85kg which I currently maintain without effort.
When you fast and drink distilled water it flushes out your liver, kidneys giving them a rest from processing.
You got this - sounds like a great plan. Thanks for sharing. My daughter also has Hashimo disease and Celiac. She changed her diet and is also eating more fish (and less carbs). Warm thoughts coming your way 😍
My uncle was tested as diabetic 1. His wife always had deserts around. He cut his simple carbs, started getting some exercise while getting his weekly chiropractic adjustments from me to make sure his nervous system was functioning optimally. He went for a follow up test and it was negative. He's been good ever since.
The point I'm making is there can be simple ways that your body is affected. Occams razor so to speak. Start with the simple and most likely reasons and work your way from there. Every body is unique and has the innate power to heal. Listen to your body, keep a journal and most importantly keep positive.
Sis I feel ya, you know I have Lupis & Lime disease, you will always be beautiful to us
Hey my friend. Have you tried avoiding gluten and dairy? I heard it helps if you have Lupus
@@SurvivalLilly I don't really do dairy, but I do need to cut out the gluten. Thanks sis & stay strong
I hope you get better soon...gute besserung!
Bless your heart! As someone who has had blood sugar issues and whose child was just diagnosed with an egg allergy, you have a lot of labels to read and a lot of products to avoid. I too deal with thyroid issues. Eggs MAY or MAY NOT be in just about everything. Starting Dr Berg’s Keto and IF diet soon as I’m currently overweight and not feeling healthy. Berries are the lowest sugar fruits! Good luck! More info on your food intolerance test would be fabulous. You need freeze dried meat, canned chicken/beef/ham (watch for sugar and intolerances)! You WILL find solutions - you are a solution oriented person and I know you will make it through this. Thanks for sharing with us all of this info! I love sausage, peppers, and onions for breakfast on keto and when I’m preparing breakfast for the family.
If you haven’t already, ask your Dr to have your Vitamin D levels checked and go on D3 supplementation. Most people in the northern hemisphere require supplementation. Low D levels have links to both Hashimoto’s and impact on HbA1c and immune function. Thank you for sharing your symptoms and bringing awareness! Your prep changes are things many others have to consider as well, so that in itself is helpful for you to share. 🙏🏻 for restored health.
Note: There are also research studies on reducing insulin resistance significantly with vitamin D supplementation
No they just need sunlight
Super Jeff Stanton, if you live far enough north you cannot synthesize adequate vitamin D from sun exposure alone.
Between october and and april the sun isnt high enough in the nothern hemisphere. The angle must be a certain angle to get deep enough into the skin for vitamin d to get produced.
Vit d3 must be taken with vit k2. The calcium produced by good level of d3 must be transported to the right area, k2 is the transporter of calcium. When not enough k2, calcium can stuck in vaines or kidneys so stones and calcification will form.
Sorry to hear about your condition. You are adding new meaning to "Survival Lilly" Really good you are taking action to correct the problem. You might check out intermittent fasting, it gives your body a rest from insulin. I would cut out all added sugar, you don't need it. I feel those swings and have done much better without sugar and carbs. Thanks for your inspiring videos.
Lilly, I have been on keto diet for 2 and a 1/2 years now. I was at 215 pounds now I'm 175 pounds. My A1C was 5.8 at the first warning from my doctor, 3 months later after cutting a lot of carbs out I thought it would go down but the A1C was 6.0, thats pre-diabetic. The doctor told me if that gets to 6.5 he has to diagnose me with type 2 diabetes. So I went on keto and 3 months later my A1C was 5.2!👏. I only eat 0 calorie natural sweetners, monkfruit, Stevia, erythritol etc., its expensive but your heath is worth it. There is so much good advise on youtube, I followed Thomas Delauer, he practices "clean keto". Ingredients are important too. Good luck on your journey. BTW, chickpea is a chick..a baby chicken and a pea, green pea as in pea soup , put them together chick pea!
Dear Lilly, Thank you for sharing. I am sorry to hear about the diabetes and food intolerance. Glad you found out because it is important to know in order to manage diet. I know you will continue to do great. Diet changes can be difficult to start but become second nature as you feel better. We are all supporting you as you enter this new chapter. Please share as you are learning as it may be helpful and encouraging to others to see your progress to better health.
Be encouraged that others who are prepping do/may need the same type of diet. We will learn right along with you.
Thank you for all the great prep tips. Much love to you & family from California.
