@@mosesnaibei6706 Obviously we have not gotten the physical copy in African stores yet, so your best bet is to sign up for an account with Amazon UK and get the digital copy.

This is absolutely fantastic! I’m pre diabetic but acting like a diabetic to prevent full blown diabetes. I got myself a blood sugar monitor a few days ago, so still experimenting which foods do what to my blood sugar levels. At times my prandial blood sugar does peak more than it should. So this is an excellent way to prevent spikes. I also recommend a eating a piece of raw ginger half the size of your thumb’s first digit, and half - one tsp of carom seeds 5 minutes before a meal. Besides getting no acid reflux, your food will digest better and your blood sugars won’t peak as much. Sorry I’m on a roll… also have acv with your meals. Preferably have a bowl of salad with acv on it before meals. Guaranteed doing this will help prevent a significant amount of sugars from getting into your bloodstream. A glass of water also lowers sugar quickly. And walking 15-30 mins after a meal also works wonders. Got carried away a bit there. But all in a good cause God willing.
Nice talk
Eat a lot of Dates. It'll not only control, but also cure you of diabetes. Inshallah.
what is acv ?

Apple cider vinegar.
I am a type 2 diabetic and I don't take any medication I just eat low carb and stay away from sugar and procced foods every now and then my sugar gets a little high I just walk quickly up and down the steps about 10 times and my sugar drops to a normal level. My sugar level was 177 I did this exercise for 3 minutes and I was 158 I also ride my bike to get my levels to normal. Hibiscus tea, pineapple, carob, bitter melon, cactus, pomegranate juice are just a few things that will help your blood sugars come down or stay normal.
Thank you
@@drjoetvMD For clarification, are you in agreement with this comment? Just wanting to know if this is a good hack to reduce BS levels?
@@christine1962ful The exercise bits, yes definitely
What's cactus, carob how to eat
Why penapple full of sugar?
Another reason to do this exercise on a regular basis to lower blood glucose is that many diabetics lose this muscle to amputation as a consequence of complications from uncontrolled blood sugar. Ironically, this is the very muscle to help control blood sugar and decrease risk of limb loss.
Thank you for your contribution
That's amazing! Thanks, Dr. Joe. I will incorporate this excercise into my daily routine from now on.
Sounds great!

Exercise is definitely good for diabetics. You still have to take something to help with the sugar or eat healthy. Exercise along won't do unless you exercise after every meal. I know people who exercise then reward themselves with a treat. Eat bad.
Thanks Dr you're the best! Always learning from you.
I appreciate that!
Fantastic information and explanation Doc. Thanks a lot
You're welcome
Thank you starting it now. Awesome Channel.

Love your tip to "do 100 reps as a set. Have a little break. Then do another set and another and another with little breaks between the sets. Aim to do that for an hour. Don't forget, you can be doing other tasks like working, watching TV, having a conversation etc whilst doing the exercise"

Much appreciated
Thanks Dr Joe for this information on the solus muscle workout.
Welcome, Paul
Thank you for the information and the data sheets showing the improved levels before and after.
Glad it was helpful!
This is fantastic. I started my parents on this exercise before I even got through your whole video. They are elderly and we're all trying to help Dad fight his high blood sugar (and balance, heart disease, and dementia). We all really do need something easy to get started moving and hopefully initiate a little motivation. Do you have a recommendation of how slowly we would build up to doing the exercise for one hour? Overdoing it and getting sore calves would scare my father off of doing them anymore. You are wonderful, Dr. Joe, thank you!
Seeing as they are elderly, they could do 50 reps at a time. Have a little 10-minute break. Then do another 50 reps set. Have another break. Then do another and another and another with breaks between the sets. Soreness is to be expected from any exercise though but it should last no more than 2 or 3 days and it should not return subsequently unless you stop doing the exercise only restart after weeks
@@drjoetvMD Thank you so much, Dr. Joe. God bless you!
@@auntiereeses5864 I am still confuse. So how much time should I spend doing this exercise daily @ 50 reps sir?
@@drjoetvMD I am still confuse. So how much time should I spend doing this exercise daily @ 50 reps sir?
@@thebootielover The 50 reps is just a starting point. Do as many sets of the 50 reps as you want in the beginning, and build up to doing the exercise for an hour or more at a time. So maybe do 3 sets the first day, 5 the second, 8-10 the third. You might start with far more if your calves aren't sore. Based on the data, you eventually want to build up to doing the exercise for an hour or more per day, depending on how well it works to lower your blood sugar and how high it is to begin with. We counted how long it takes to do 50 reps, and it was about 1 minute. Setting a timer could be helpful. Eventually do the exercise during an hour TV program or while reading a book...whatever sitting activity is preferred. Different people will have different needs and levels of ability. I hope this is helpful!
Thank you Dr Joe
Been struggling with high blood sugar
will put the exercise into practice and see what it does
Great idea
Maybe I was distracted and missed out something. How many times would one have to do it at a time?
Great work. Got Values, just subscribed. I will share it wide.
Thank you
Thank you Dr. Joe just found your videos and will share with my family. I liked and subscribed!
You're welcome, Janet
Hello Dr Joe, Sophia from Jamaica here. This exercise suits me perfectly, however, how long do I do the soleus push up for after having eaten?
Aim to do it for an hour. Start at around 45 minutes after your meals as that's when your blood sugar will start to peak
Thanks Doc! I think this is the easiest and most doable exercise benefiting lowering blood sugar with least effort and at ease. My blood sugar is normal and yet I will do it to retain it!
Yes, it certainly is
I knew about this exercise but I didn’t know what it was good for, thank you so much for the info
You are so welcome!
A very good exercise. Thank you Dr Joe.
You're welcome, Julie
Excellent recommendation Doctor, sir and thanks for sharing this very important endeavor! You are a big contribution to mankind in particular towards seniors like me who are oftentimes lazy to do regular exercises due to their pre-existing conditions.
Thank you
What is the difference in result between this exercise and walking a long distance? I ask this question because it appears we move same set of muscles also when we are walking. Thanks
@@chukwudijonathan605 Walking is just as good. But walking uses the gastrocnemius muscle more than the soleus. You certainly can walk too
@@chukwudijonathan605 I think I talk about walking here czcams.com/video/KkniG2SQmz4/video.html
You can stand up while lifting your body weight on your toes, repeating as much as you can. It's more effective than sitting. If you have an adjustable desk at work you can do a lot during your work hours, sitting or standing. At home do it while watching TV
You can, of course, Mary, but in the standing position you are unlikely going to do the exercise long enough to have a significant impact, if that makes sense
@@drjoetvMD hello Dr Joe. How long do we need to do thus exercise in order for it to be beneficial please?
@@marciajohnson1825
Excellent Excellent question! I was wondering the same thing myself.
@@enjoy7024 Aim to do 100 reps at a time, That will constitute one set. Have a little mini-break. Then do another 100 reps and another and another and another and another with little mini-breaks in between the sets. Aim to do that for an hour at a time at least. The longer you do it, the better. Do it about 30 - 45 minutes after your meals
You have try it first before talking, I've tried this and it's quite amazing
THANKS DR JOE, I APPRECIATE IT!
You're welcome
As always Thank you Dr Joe
You're welcome
Greetings Dr. Joe,
Approximately how long should this exercise be done for to get the desired results?
You should be looking to do it in 100 reps blocks repeatedly with little breaks in between and aim to do it for a minimum of 1 hour per session
Such a simple and lazy exercise for those who are super lazy.. Thanks so much doc ❤️
You're welcome
Thank you so much! I pray you reap much from this contribution to the improvment of health for so many.
Very welcome
Thanks Doctor for such an in depth video. Very useful information.
You're welcome, Joseph
I do a similar exercise to this throughout the day. I mix it up a bit, sometimes I do both legs together, sometimes I do alternative legs, and I also lift my toes off the ground followed by lifting up my heals. I will do a combination of that plus I lift one leg up and rotate my foot in both directions a few times, then do the same with the other leg.
After seeing this video, I will make a conscious effort to make sure I do this after eating, I tend to do it when I've been sitting for a while.
That's a great idea!
Thank you so much Dr. Joe I will start doing this exercise in fact I have already started while watching your video. Am a type 2 diabetic. Thanks once again it's as easy as ABC!

You can do it standing up but you won't be able to do it long enough in the standing position to get the desired impact
This is awesome. Recently I have had a lot of pelvic floor issues as I age. Walking is even becoming uncomfortable, which means I am not being as active as I used to be. This will definitely give me options. I think this also explains why not just walking but cycling is so good for your heart and your blood sugar.

If I did this exercise for 1 hour every day or every 2nd day to start with, how long would it be before results begin to appear?
Thank you ☺
Results are immediate. But they don't carry over to the next day. You use it to reduce high blood sugar at that point in time. Use it when you need to reduce your blood sugar and that would be after meals. Can I stress that this exercise NOT a miracle cure please. It isn't. Please see it as something to use when the occasion calls for it.

Hello Dr Joe.. while bring the feet down can the heel touch the ground?
@@vaidhyanathanv5516 Yes, of course. Watch my demonstration again to see how I did it
Great tip, Dr Joe! Walking is known to help lower blood sugar as well. Just wondering if this soleus muscle push-up, which is basically the same motion as walking as you push off from the toes as you stride, is the reason this works in lowering blood sugar? I wouldn’t replace walking and all it’s benefits with this but rather supplement my walking with this convenient exercise, especially if for some reason walking was not possible. P.s. The calf muscles have long been known as health inducing muscles, hence their reputation as “the heart muscle of the legs” for their ability to facilitate blood circulation. Perhaps that is why walking as well as soleus pushups or calf raises have such a positive influence on our health. Thanks again for all of your valuable information. It is very much appreciated!
Obviously walking and the soleus pushup are not mutually exclusive. You can do both and why not. I love walking as an exercise a lot as you would have found out in my book. But the two exercises are working different muscles. You use the soleus muscle when you plantarflex especially in the sitting position as opposed to using the gastrocnemius which you use more when you walk.
As Dr Joe mentioned, walking and the soleus pushup do indeed exercise different muscles. One of the primary benefits of the soleus pushup is that, when performed correcty, the soleus muscle will not get tired. You will eventually get tired while walking. The research shows that you will burn more glucose with soleus pushups than you will by walking given that you can perform them for long periods of time.

Hello Doctor,
I am from India and have been diabetic since December'21.
I am following my doctor's advice which includes
1) zero sugar intake (I have even stopped mixing sugar in tea altogether)
2) 2 meals a days with absolutely nothing except water in between (this was extremely difficult to follow initially as earlier I used to eat upto 4 to 5 times a day all these years - I am running 58) It is very difficult for a working professional to follow 2 meals per day because with only 2 meals one feels exhausted in the middle of 2 meals
3) 45 minutes morning walk on empty stomach. I think 45 minutes walk every day is out of question because of time constraint in the morning rush hours.
Your exercise is a boon to diabetics like me. Thank you very much for your kind advice Doctor
You are welcome

@@natarajank6065 Nice to hear
Exercise is important yes, but the most effective way to reduce blood sugar is to limit your total carbs. The intermittent fasting you do is great for you too, but how many grams of carbs do you have at each meal? I am guessing by the exhaustion you feel that you have a lot of carbs in those meals. Your body does not care one little bit whether the carbs are simple sugars or complex starches, it breaks them down efficiently then releases insulin to process this sugar. If you don't reduce your total carb intake your body will continue to produce so much insulin that eventually you will get insulin resistant. I don't know about India, but here in the U.S. type-2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions.
@@JohnSmith-ld1pw It's amazing the amount of vitriol that the low-carb community pour on carbs, although not surprising. The lump all carbs together, healthy carbs and processed carbs. And they will be surprised to know that you can successfully reverse diabetes eating healthy carbs that they despise so much. Keto and low-carb are not the only route to freeing yourself from the claws of diabetes. Oil is your real enemy. Not the healthy carbs FYI. Yes, it is counter-intuitive but it's about the only way to truly reverse diabetes. Keto only suppresses it. Ditch the oils - veg and seed oils and free yourself
Hello Dr.Joe..you are the best..love it..blessings to you..
Thanks so much
Very easy one 👌, thanks Dr Joe
My pleasure
I think you can even to this lying down
No, Helen, you'll be dorsi-flexing your foot when lying on your back (flexing towards your knee, that is). That movement doesn't work the soleus muscle. It works the gastrocnemius muscle. Wrong muscle...
@@drjoetvMD even with your knees bent?
@@helenndow1101 Yes, because your toes have no leverage to propel your heels
So, Helen, I tried your suggestion this morning when I woke up and I can confirm that it is possible to work the soleus muscle in bed. The toe leverage will be missing though but it should still be possible to work the soleus muscle with some degree of efficiency. I tried it lying on my back and on my side and it worked. So, I take back my earlier objection. Go ahead and do it in bed if you want to, yes.
But I should add that flexing your ankle joint downwards towards the sole of your foot is the movement that works the soleus muscle, not the other way round and of course you do that repeatedly
Great technic Dr Joe thank you so much!!
