- I'm showing you how to navigate the grocery store aisle when you're on a diabetic diet. It's not just about buying low sugar and low glycemic foods, you have to look at the other ingredients and make sure they are nutrient dense. It's also important to eat non-inflammatory foods when you have diabetes, otherwise your cholesterol can spike. Hope you enjoy this shopping guide for diabetics, let me know if you want to see more like this...Mad love!

Me and my mom found this channel the day I hit 6.5 on the A1C and was told I had type 2 diabetes, doctor said I could reverse it with exercise and good diet. Since the day me and mom found flavcity, we cut fast food and started eating right. 5 weeks in and I'm 30lbs down with my blood sugar went from 120s to 90s now! This is the content America needs!
120 fasting??
I just got diagnosed and that's (6.5) is my number. Can you please tell me what you did and how. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing! Kudos.

Thank you for this post I'm on the same boat and a bit freaked out ....just reading what you wrote gives me hope ..thank you agian
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article czcams.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
If he caught cvd or pnamonia. It damages the liver. I was diagnosed with pneumonia in 2021. Had symptoms of acute liver failure that night. I was diagnosed with fatty liver. Cvd seems to attack the liver. Also eating high processed foods that has high fructose corn syrup as well or corn syrup. They keep changing the name to it. 6 months of consuming it can cause fatty liver. Diabetes is linked to the liver

I found out yesterday that I'm pre-diabetic. I've decided to live and eat as if I were a Type 2 diabetic. This video is hugely helpful.
Very good please so to reverse it because trust me you do nottttt want to get full blown diabetes ! Ppl live long with it but during the course of life if u not on top of what u eat everyday u can feel sick and causes other problems as years go by! For me I get head aches when I don’t do the right thing and eyes get blurry for days and come back to normal if for a week I wasn’t doing good with my numbers
What store are you in?
Oh my stars, I just find out today. And going to do the same.
@@michaelreed388 he's in Whole Foods
What do you eat? I'm also pre-diabetic.
Wow, over 50% of Americans don't even know that they will end up being diabetic. Thank you Bobby! I was just at the store yesterday and there is so much to learn when you are a diabetic, I appreciate you supporting us diabetics.
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
@VETERAN VS type 2. Not type 1.
Type 1 Diabetes runs in my family (this type of diabetes is genetic and autoimmune in nature). My brother has Type 1 Diabetes and was showing the classic symptoms (frequent urination, constant hunger, constant thirst, cravings for salt, etc) at around 1-2 years old. My mother knew something was wrong but unfortunately the doctors ignored her until he was finally diagnosed at age 5 after being admitted to the hospital with extremely high blood sugar levels. My brother will always have Type 1 Diabetes (unlike those with Type 2, who can reverse the disease through healthy eating and lifestyle changes). Unfortunately for my brother his pancreas will never be able to produce insulin but healthy eating habits and lifestyle choices will of course help those with Type 1 manage their disease. You should have your daughter do all the testing for Type 1 Diabetes as it seems that she is displaying some of the common symptoms.
You can get a panel run without a doctor. It requires a blood test, there is no way around that. Look online for LabCorp. Look for their tests and request a C-Peptide test, this will tell you if her pancreas is working properly (that will show if Type 1 is happening). Also ask for a blood glucose test AND an A1C. You pay online and take the receipt down to the the LabCorp office near you. Take the results to the doctor. Normal ranges can be found online. If anything is outside the normal range, get her into the Doctor. Juvenile diabetes is an issue. So, check. You can get diabetes at any age. Some are later than others. Yes, she can have it at this age.
@VETERAN VS No, it is not possible to overcome Type 1. You will die without insulin. Also, there are insulin dependent Type 2s, rare but that does happen. There is also Type 1.5 which may not be able to be overcome. We won't even go into Type 3 and the variants on that.
@VETERAN VS You were. I don't see where anyone else was.
Who else believes this channel is changing lives in the community?
you are too sweet, thanks for that!
Absolutely!
@@jehneey He INSPIRED me start my cooking channel!
@@BobbyParrish are you diabetic?
so true
Recently diagnosed diabetic...and I just want to say thank you for this! You made this so simple. On the road to turning my health around! Thank you!
Very true Brandy ...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?
Yes I was diagnosed with diabetes so I drastically change my diet no more sugary food only eat veggies now and salad .
Get some Berberine Herbs will lower your blood sugar and lose weight, Bitter Melons, Okra
I discovered very early on that the best "sweet treat" smoothie I could make for myself and not spike blood sugar is by buying a 100% cocoa dark chocolate bar, a handful of strawberries, fage yogurt and 2 packets of monkfruit sweetener or truvia. It's delicious, creamy and sweet and doesn't make me feel like crap afterwards. Pretty high in fat, but it's mostly good fats being the cacao is 100% and the yogurt. You can also drink half and save the other half for the next day :) sweeten yourself with Diabetic friendly sweetener and you don't have to worry about added sugar!
I have had Type 2 diabetes for over 20 years. I have had my ups and downs with food lots of times over these years. Thank you for sharing your food tips. The doctor tells you to eat healthy, but rarely explains effectively how to do it! Thank you again. So glad I came across your channel. ❤
I'm type 2 but I rather eat real pasta
@@jamesgentry13 meeeee tooooo!🥰
@@jamesgentry13 fforeimor
Kathy, I agree with you 100% that these Doctors look and talk to you in that certain kind of way but are not helpful in the way you need. like the nutritionist tells you what not to eat, but there's no real education on why it can be bad for you. or for that matter where one can buy diabetic-friendly foods. they don't explain to you about the inflammatory ingredients so you make better choices. or that certain medication can increase your blood sugars. with Bobby Parrish, I am learning what to look for in healthy foods, why they're good for me and how to read labels. that is very important, so thank you, Bobby I certainly appreciate it.
@@jamesgentry13 eat miracle noodles. Eggs. Vegs and butter. Saute. Add sausage. Eat.
Walk 3 miles
It's really hard to figure out a diet once they tell you what not to eat, but they rarely tell you what to eat. I needed this video thanks. I don't want pre-diabetes to develop into diabetes. Pray for me. I will get a control over my health
Winnie, see Dr. Eric Berg , Dr. Sten Eckberg and Dr. Jason Fung, videos on YT... they help and motivate. I watch them multiple times and it's encouraging to maintain a healthy, positive direction....good luck...♥️🙂
See also SUGARMD on YT. He's an Endocrinologist who does excellent broad ranging videos, and whilst he talks about medical treatments he fully embraces nutrition and complimentary therapies where appropriate. He's quite funny too!
I AM A RETIRED NURSE AND I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU HAVE EXCELLENT PRESENTATION SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE! LOVE ME SOME WHOLE FOODS! HOWDY FROM TEXAS.
I appreciate your help with having diabetes. None of this food sounds good but,we all know diabetics hate eating because we can't have ANYTHING that tastes good. 😢😢
Thank you so much for this video. I was just diagnosed yesterday and had a very dangerous spike. You're saving my life here, I'm beyond grateful and not ashamed to admit experiencing tears of joy. Thank you sir I can see the light now.

Thanks
Cut out carbohydrates. Especially starches.
Me, too. Diagnosed today and can't stop crying. Good luck and good health.
@@mariahcarrie5770 I'm struggling some what but I'm still encouraged to continue to push myself for improvement. Halloween was hard with the amount of Reese's peanut butter cups we had. I'm back on it now.
Bobby, yes please anything you can teach about living with diabetes. I have already had a heart attack and don't want another.
My mom is diabetic. She also has diverticulosis, and issues with kidney stones. Basically she is limited to what she eats because it's difficult to manage low carb, high fiber, low fat, low oxalates and still make food enjoyable. Plus, she's 80 and picky. I am at my wits end trying to get her to eat healthier.
I have impaired fasting glucose and disorder of glucose transport due to mild insulin resistance. I was advised to limit my carbs. I'm taking it a step further and eating like a T2 diabetic. This video cut out most of the headache at the store. Thanks for being so thorough, Bobby! I've already dropped 63 lbs!
Yes that's what I'm saying. Keep up the good work.
❤️❤️ please keep up with the diabetic food products including at Whole Foods, Aldi and Kroger. I learn more from your videos because going onsite and showing comparisons on the food labels really explains the how and why. This is what people need instead of being handed a low carb, low glycemic, or low carb diet on a sheet of paper at the dr's off. You are showing hands on what to eat and why. For me, I'm a hands on learner, as many people are and I really appreciate what you're doing! Thank you!
He also is diabetic, so I think he will always inform us of diabetic friendly Foods. 💓
He is not a diabetic. 🤣
Can this info help a non diabetic hypoglycemia person?
@@eseosarain
Absolutely helpful. 👍
Good luck to you !!
I was just diagnosed as pre diabetic so I agree with this comment.
I may be echoing someone else but everyone should eat this way
indeed
I am not diabetic and I'm watching because I want to stay a non diabetic!
@Marie Michaels amen! I too have found him a week ago, have wrote down all the good brands, bad ingredients to look for and avoid...Went and threw away half my fridge and pantry... my bill went up, but honestly I don't care, whats more important is what we put in our body and staying the healthiest we can be in this modern age. im also pregnant and I feel soooo blessed to have found him at this point of my life 💓
@Marie Michaels thank you😊
I totally agree! I’m pre-diabetic and been on a diabetic diet for 20 years and I’m still not on meds! It’s simple and very sustainable, unlike fad diets.
By changing my diet I’m no longer on meds. It’s the way to go! I use Bobby’s shakes and do low carb low sugar. Thanks Bobby!!!
Old fashioned oats have many health benefits and are convenient. Glycemic index for old fashioned rolled oats is around 55 vs. 79 for instant. Serving size is 1/2 cup.
Hey Bobby! Thank you! As a 71 year old diabetic this is the best info I’ve seen in years!
me too!
Hey, David. I am 74 and have just been diagnosed as diabetic. Bobby's practical advice is a God send, isn't it?
I'm 70 and diabetic for years. Thanks Bobby...
Hey Bobby what's good for dialysis patients? JACJIE FROM Cleveland Ohio
My A1c (diabetes marker) went from 6.3 (prediabetic) to a very healthy 5.1 in less than a year by eating low carb, the way Bobby talks about. And I ate really good food and didn't feel deprived. Once I realized I could have anything I wanted, I just needed to make a low-carb version myself, it was a game changer.
Glad u ate GOOD food
.my pocketbook was deprived however..LOOK AT THE PRICES MR.BOBBY..WHAT DO LOW INCOME PPL DO??? WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION FOR THAT BOBBY..I HAVE BEEN ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION FOR A YEAR NOW WITH NO RESPONSE FROM U....NOT HELPING...WHAT U SPEND FOR WEEKEND I HAVE TO MAKE STRETCH FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS...DO U HAVE A SOLUTÌON FOR ME OR WILL I BE CONTINUOUSLY IGNORED?
@@barbaradingeldein1273Bobby is not a financial adviser, he is not a physician, you have to work within your budget, even if the budget is low. A lot of the Asian grocery stores sell food at much lower prices than regular food markets, find one and other ethnic grocery stores, they are usually cheaper. Also try the food pantries, where I live in Ohio, there are multiple locations, I mean a lot of locations where you can get free food. Where I go they usually have tuna fish, steaks, chicken, some fish, lots of canned goods and bread if you can eat it. I have found that I spend less food on groceries eating a lower carb diet. Just stick with the basics: leafy greens, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, I buy a large one, cook it and the store some in my freezer, there is a long list of vegetables you can eat and really, buy what you can afford. No need to get angry at Bobby, do what you can to get healthier with what you can afford, another thing, try to grow some of your own vegetables, if you live in an apartment, you can grow like cherry tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, different herbs, I did that. There are a lot of videos on CZcams that show you how to grow vegetables in containers, this can greatly cut down on cost of food and look for community gardens in your area, find service that is offered, if you are 50 and older, look at AARP, they have a lot of services, go to your community centers, a lot of senior community centers have a lot of services. It is not a hopeless situation, there are things that you can do. I really, look forward to the day when food is not an issue, something that was promised to us all, but right now we have to do what we can do
Did you see the prices of the oils? Who can afford this?
Recently I've been told I'm pre-diabetes and my bad cholesterol is high. So finding you has made me feel a can get through this. Thanks. And for my mom, Go Cubs..
This is great for everyone! Most diabetics need to watch the salt though also due to BP
Just got diagnosed with type two diabetes so this video means everything to me! Thank you so much for taking the time to do a video for diabetics.
Same! I'm so confused, but this helps a lot! Are there any non organic foods that are healthy for diabetics? That stuff is expensive!
Broccoli califlower, asparagus and eat grass feed beef and wild caught fish. Go to Ethic markets for cheaper prices.

You can reverse diabetes. Our body makes glucose (liver) we don't have to eat it or eat it in abundance. You can do it, you can change your life, your health!
How are you doing?
Yes, this was so helpful. I would really appreciate it if you do more diabetic diet videos. Thank you
❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤😮
I am new to the diabetic world (recently diagnosed but looking back, it's long overdue to make it official). My Father was diagnosed with diabetes and he reversed it all managing his diet. Now that I am where he was years ago I am literally crying and so scared. I have asked my pcp multiple times to refer me to a nutritionist to no avail. I have to learn how to eat all over again.
Watching and listening to these online MD's has been extremely educational for me and I have learned what I can no longer eat (Which seems to be everything) I still didn't know what I could eat until I watched this video. Bobby, thank you for this educational shopping trip to the grocery store. I fear I am in big trouble because I don't like artichokes, I don't like onions, red peppers, green peppers, Brussel sprouts, zucchini and many other vegetables that are supposed to be good for me. I feel like I am going to starve to death and I truly feel scared. My health has become a mess in the last 3 years but now it's really bad and I need help trying to figure this nightmare out.
Hi don’t know how you’re doing with your health but I pray all is well. I too don’t eat vegetables or fruits & of just junk food.
Found out 2 days ago that am pre diabetic. My mom had diabetes & it’s something that I always say I didn’t want just so that I can enjoy my junk food well after finding out I was pre diabetic it gave me a scare because now I have to eat what I don’t like. I always would blend my fruits & veggies to make a smoothie & would make Haitian epis to cook with so I would suggest you try those options to add in some veggies until myself start this healthy diet journey
My fiancé and I just found out yesterday that he has diabetes after doing a physical for his new job and let me tell you... with his sugar and blood glucose levels SO high, we are terrified for his health. I'm SO glad I found this video because I know we NEED to change both of our diets (because I'm certain I'm borderline diabetic myself and obese) but I don't even know where to begin to start; we don't have insurance to pay for a dietician or nutrionist to provide the knowledge we need for what to avoid and what's good to buy so we can successfully make healthier choices and changes. This video was posted in 2020 and it's now 2022, so I doubt you'll see this, but thank you for this! Your explanations were so informative and easy to understand; I literally took notes while watching so I could reference if I needed to! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
So much info online...recipes...etc
You need to make your meals low carbohydrates, that doesn’t mean you not allowed any carbs, you can have whole meal pasta and bread in small quantities, then main meals stick to veg and meat, chicken eggs dairy, cheese, yogurt Greek style Fage is good. And replace potatoes with sweet potatoes they are better for you.
@@debiwillis9045 Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation out there that isn't this detailed and the details were exactly what I was looking for so I could make the best decisions to move forward with. I don't understand the point of your comment though. It wasn't really helpful or insightful.
@@sandrawestley4193 Well he pretty much says exactly that in the video, but thanks for the reiteration. :)
Wait Flavcity... you can DEFINITELY eat part of the leaves of an artichoke. You have to steam them really well, then you take each leaf off and the part that's attached to the heart gets soft, you can dip it in EVOO with vinagre and spices. It's delicious! It takes a while to eat so you feel full when you're done. In Argentina this is a classic!!
I was gonna say the same. We used to eat both the attached parts of the leaves and the heart even raw ... You don't have to always cook artichoke !
Yes do true that's how my mother cooks them used to eat them more
I would love a video at Walmart for people who have high cholesterol. I just got diagnosed and money is a big issue. I think a video like this can help many people
This video is so helpful, not just for diabetes patients but for anyone. With the diets we have right now, anyone can become diabetes sooner or later.
I just got diagnosed with Diabetes. I have previously done KETO which honestly, was fantastic for me. I started losing weight, my pre-diabetes markers went back to NORMAL and my energy felt great and inflammation went down. I know the Pandemic totally threw me back into bad land and the stress has been unbearable... so I have been taking what I learned on KETO and am trying to apply that
Dang! Love this channel. Every person who is pre-diabetic or type II diabetic you need to see these videos. Shopping made easy plus tons of great nutritional information.....My dietician did not provide to me!
Hi! I just got out of the hospital. I’ve always had good health. I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2. I have my self my first pin pricks and shot to myself at home yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling a little depressed. So, I went on CZcams and your channel popped up first. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. You have me hope. I will continue to watch all of your videos in time. Goldie in Jacksonville Florida
Just found out that my A1c is 6.1 and that I was pre diabetic. I also have high cholesterol. I found your channel and was so glad to get educated on all of the products I should be having and avoiding. So helpful!
thank you. I've been a diabetic for ten years, and no food class has ever taught me any of this.
Well I was just diagnosed pre diabetic and I'm so freaking lost and scared to eat anything tbh this was a big help. Thank you for making content like this
Right?????? Doctors tell us we’re prediabetic but doesn’t help us with what to eat and what to avoid I’m so frustrated . “Eat fruits! No wait don’t eat fruits , Eat whole grains wait don’t eat whole grains !!!” Like I just wanna reverse this and get my life back
Check out Dr Berg as well. Lots of help there. Over 2500 videos.
And Dr Ken Berry. He’s good too.
Same here
Dear bearded angel Don't freak out. Just remember to avoid things like pizza and pasta; any white food should be avoided
As a nutrition major and nutrition enthusiast, thank you so much Bobby for your channel and all you do! We need more people like you educating the world on how to live their healthiest life 😊🍎🍐🥦🥕
I have HS which is a chroinc inflammatory skin disease that causes painful boils in hihgly sensitive areas. Im also diabetic which is probably xausjng the HS to flare even more. Because most medical professionals do not understand HS or how to help people.manage it...those that suffer are desperate. There is one book "The Hidden Plaque" that states an elimination diet is a must to find food triggers. I believe chia seeds...flax seeds etc are a no no...please do a segment on what HS sufferers can eat.
Your a nutritionist and I was wondering what to do during chemo treatments I have lost too much weight and the keto I was eating is tearing me apart. I can't put enough fat in my body to use it to burn because it makes me sick. My oncologist just wants me to eat anything and everything and says when we are done he will help build my body back. He knew I was doing keto. Any suggestions? I got a bad hankering for fruit.
He's not a nute. Why don't uu do a show??
@@stormyweather8798 What is a nute?
@@nancymuller3291 Nutritionist. Bobby has literally no qualifications to be making dietary recommendations like this It's dangerous and anyone looking for dietary advice should seek out a registered dietitian.
Thank you for your videos, they have changed our lives as a family. We so enjoy going to the grocery store knowing what foods to buy. My husband is a diabetic and this is life-changing thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts
Bobby, we really appreciate you and thank you so much for making these videos. My husband is diabetic and you really help me tremendously in showing us what we should be buying and eating for diabetes
I love these videos, it’s expensive to buy much of this food. I’d love to see a diabetic cook book with affordable stores. Many of us diabetics are older and are on fixed incomes.
I understand the struggle first hand. I'm disabled and living on a poverty level amount of money. Because I live with my daughter, I don't qualify for food help. It can definitely be expensive eating organic and grain free, etc. I think some of the most affordable ways to help yourself are to switch out your unhealthy cooking oils, eat that chickpea pasta and look into the dirty dozen vegetables and try to get organic in those at least. Aldi's and Walmart has good options and he has videos for these. Oh, and look for simple ingredients on the label. The longer the ingredients, the worse it is. All the best! (Possibly find a farmers market or co-op...... and ask if they have used pesticides or not)
You nailed it on that one yeah I'm 51 years old I'm disabled and I have diabetes and of course being low income I don't have any money left over to buy food that's healthy fruits and vegetables are so high price only the wealthy can afford it and you're right we who are on fixed incomes it's not our fault that we can't eat healthy like you said we're on on limited incomes when we can't afford this outrageous prices of vegetables and fruits and they're always hounding us you need to be healthy you need to eat your fresh fruits and vegetables well then help us out give us more money I guess only the wealthy can eat healthy which is unfortunate
At 69 and trying to make sense of shopping and preparing meals for myself is problematic what with all the scams as well. A new type 2 on a fixed income the cost is prohibitive. This us the best site I have seen. A book with a 30 day or weekly menu and prep on this site would be wonderful.
@@patriciaholloway keep in mind that most cities have funds for agricultural help. Check out the churches and senior centers for free produce giveaways. Call 211 and ask fir resources for seniors healthy eating. Food banks are often available too. You can do it. It just takes careful planning!
@Leola Kimbler frozen are just as good...there are tons of good choices that will improve your health, you may not be able to do organis everything...and thats ok too
This is a great video.

I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three years ago. I have stayed off meds just by diet and exercise. So I am a lifestyle controlled diabetic. It has changed my life.
Do tell. I’ve just been diagnosed with type 2 a month ago.Numbers were high so on Metformin.

How have you done this? I was just diagnosed and I’m so filled with anxiety. Please share, I want to live for my son...
@@jewelglaspie7431 try and go low carb. Use almond, coconut flour. Swap out high sugar carby fruits for berries. Eat non starchy veg. Eggs and meat are low carb. Have healthy fats like nuts,avavodo and olive oil. Use almond,hazelnut,cashew milk. Use Stevia,erythritol, and monkfruit for sweetness. Take supplements b complex. Look into magnesium and chromium. Sleep good reduce stress. There's plenty of low carb replacements. Dark chocolate no added sugar. Drink drinks without sugars and sweeteners. Watch low carb CZcamsrs for cooking ideas. But most importantly buy a blood meter test test test. Avoid stuff that has dextrose, maltodextrin, mailitol etc. You can do this. Eat yogurts sugar free plain ones. You can do this. Comment back if you need more advice.
@@tonymurray814 so what do you eat? Thank you
@@Mina-ti9nh so what do you eat? Ground turkey burgers, grilled salmon, veggies and salad? Can you have cheese? Help. Thank you
TIP - You can "eat" the leaves of an artichoke. Although you did not actually ingest the leaf, you can scrape the bottoms of the leaf on your bottom teeth and eat that. Then when you get to the center, remove the thistle and eat the heart. So much yum.
Unfortunately I like to dip them in melted butter...not good!
I have been doing amazing since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes but having this available, gives me such a variety of different things. I was getting so bored with the foods that I thought were the only ones that I could have. This is very close to a keto diet but much better. Thank you for taking the time to help people like me learn more, like more, and be healthier
I’m 30 and ashamed to say I only recently started checking the ingredient list and macros on products. I have a history of diabetes in my family and it scares me so much.
Don't feel bad because I checked the labels and don't really understand any of that mumbo jumbo. But at least we are trying 🙂
My mother is diabetic and earlier today I fwd her the link and she said it was such an eye opener! Please make more of these videos, such WOW moments in your videos
Yes, more diabetic friendly food videos please! ❤
thank you so much for this, my parents have had diabetes for years and as of recently it’s become a major problem in their lives and i’ve been trying to do more research to help them with shopping, cooking, etc. this has helped so much!
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 19 years. It has never been in the family so it was super hard for my parents to help when I was a kid. Fast forward to teen years, I rebelled and was uncontrolled, I was in DKA, and realized I needed to change my life.. I am 22 years old now and my doctor's have always told me to just "eat what you want, take insulin for it." And just now understanding how to have a diabetic diet is going to help me so much! I'm so thankful for the videos and advice. It definitely saved my life.
I'm a type 2 diabetic and recently started a low carb diet. This video has helped me find good quality ingredients for my everyday life. Not easy changing but with more content like this I know I can do it. Small steps. Bring on some more diabetic videos.
Yessss!🥰
you can eat the lower part of the leaf on artichoke. You boil it hole and the you pick the leafs and eat with lemonbutter or some other tasted butter. My mum used to do that for friday night or fredagsmys as we say in Sweden :)
Best informative visual on food choices for diabetics no chatting just actual facts with pros and cons! God bless your educating community to make better and smart healthy food choices 👏🏻❤️🕊
I'm so thankful for you! Taking us into the stores and actually showing us what to get and telling us WHY. Not to mention all the little extra tidbits of knowledge! I had no idea caramel coloring was a carcinogen! So grateful I found you!
I so wish that this knowledge was plastered everywhere on billboards, busses, on the local news.....EVERYWHERE......some life saving information right here.
Very true whispergirl...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?
Bobby I just love watching you and getting so much information on foods. I was just diagnosed with diabetes. I am so glad I came across your channel on this topic. Keep doing what you do best.
Could you do this type of diabectic shopping for Aldi. I know you've done several Aldi videos but one for diabetics would be very helpful. Thanks. Love watching your channel, have learned so much.
We only have Aldi in our rural town. Costco and Trader Joe's are at least an hour away.
I’d like to see this too. Especially since there are so many gimmick diabetes ‘education’ videos on CZcams.
Yes adi please
yes please, the closest Whole foods to me is 3 hrs away. my choices for groceries are limited
Another request for Aldi. Thanks for these videos!
Just found out today I'm becoming diabetic. Thank you for this video.
I'm so happy I found you!! Thank you for doing this. I needed this so much. I went to grocery store just not really knowing what I should get and I was so overwhelmed. God keep blessing you! Thank you!
This was the best information I have received since being diagnosed with diabetes. Now I can grocery shop and know what to purchase. Thanks a million
Hi Bobby, Love your channel. Can you do a "PreDiabetic/Diabetic on a Budget"? And Also "Shopping at Sam's Club or Costco as a PreDiabetic/Diabetic" Thank you from Alhambra, CA😍
Same principles for pre-diabetic diet as for diabetics diet.
Cut out white foods.
Hate to break it to you, but it’s literally the same 😐
Can you talk about serving size
@@kristicunningham8704 Serving sizes are listed on the package. To be totally accurate you have to have a food scale and weigh them out.
Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. These videos provide SO MUCH info! I love the way you breakdown the ingredients (of food one can buy in a grocery store) and explain what each does to our bodies. Please keep the videos coming!! Thank you!
Very true Libbey...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?
Egg wraps or crepini wraps make a very low carb pasta. Just roll them up and slice thinly. Just simmer in sauce for a few minute to heat through. Closest I’ve found to linguine taste and texture. Can even use for lasagna
I'm a type 2 diabetic for 32 years and for years have read labels. With your amazing help, I've been able to understand them better 😂! It helps that there's a better selection of healthy food out there compared to years in the past. My phone is loaded with Bobby Approved screenshots LOL! thank you for this video most of all💗 and for all you do ...May God bless Rose💗, Dessi🌺 you and Art !
Just like any other diseases. Am not diabetic but I worry for my husband he thinks it’s okay and nothing crazy sick will happen to him his A1C is 12 and the highest he has gone for sugar is 340 he cares” less🤷🏾♀️ watching for him
@@lovekindness7389 I'm so sorry.. it's stressful on everyone when a family member who you love dearly just doesn't care about their sugar levels or what they eat. I've experienced it, and I've suffered a loss of a best friend and family members who didn't make eating healthy a priority being diabetic. I wish I had an answer and I'm sorry I don't. I will say this- eat healthy for yourself 💗 Help him when you can. Talk to him as much as you can. He'll be scared if something happens to him. I'm positive he doesn't want that😔. I'll pray he wants to get better. God bless you and stay safe🤗
I just recently being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and this is all new to me... I have no idea where to start and how to make my first meal once I leave the hospital.... I know they have cooking courses for diabetics but I don’t want to wait until then, I want to start as soon as I leave. Any tips or ideas on how to make healthy meal preps for Type 2 diabetics ? Send help please !
Just wanted to say one thing. Thank you. This has helped me so much, I am helping out my diabetic mother and I have found it to be soooo difficult - but this has really helped me in the right direction
Bobby is one of the best out there , clarity and knows his stuff .
Nice tour through the aisles. Flowed well and skipping from the bad food in one aisle to the good alternative in another...perfect. Offered some great alternatives. Many thanks.
Love the way you teach us to read the label! Thanks for the great video!
Just recently found out I'm diabetic and I am so HAPPY that I found your video! You walked me threw a lot of food items and I gained so much knowledge! Thank you 😊
How did you get diabetes
Thank you for creating a newbie starter video like this. My mom was just diagnosed and I’m trying to figure out how to change the household diet. I am definitely going to be using your suggestions.
Just diagnosed with type 2 with a A1c of 9.7 yesterday.. I felt so lost about what I can and can’t eat now I feel slightly better after finding your channel thank you 🙏🏻
Just eat low carbohydrates, meat and veg, cheese dairy, eggs, chicken, veggies that grow above the ground, wholemeal pasta and wholemeal bread, 1 slice is one serving.
Bobby thank you for all the information :-) a big hug to Rose she is precious
interesting information
Maybe a type two diabetes videos for stater Brothers Vons or Ralphs
Thank you Bobby! I was just dinos prediabetes. This is helping me a lot when shop. Please do more this kind of video. You are helping a lot more people!
12:32 …. Love the chia pets reference 😂😂 “ch-ch-ch chiaaaa”…. Blast from the past 🤣🤣
Thanks for the great advice. I've been type 2 Diabetic for about 25yrs and I've always controlled my Blood Sugar with diet. I eat great foods that are low carb and keep my A1c at around 5.5. I took 1 500mg Metformin for a while, but my Dr took me off of it because I no longer need it. I eat most of the foods you have focused on here, but you have given me even more ideas. I faithfully read food labels because big food Corps try and hide sugar, sodium and starches in most everything. I don't feel at all like I am missing out by eating low carb, high fiber. My weakness has always been pasta, but there are even a lot of great low carb choices today. Reading labels is the Key.
That's wonderful! Congratulations, sounds like you're doing very well 🙂
Great video and information.
I'm not diabetic, but I need to really reduce sugar in my diet because I know it's not good for me. Thank you!! ❤❤❤
I was able to move my A1C from 8.6 to 5.3 in 6 months by adopting a whole foods vegetarian diet and cut out all refined sugar, dairy (except for eggs), and processed foods. I have type 2, and I no longer need meds or to check my blood sugar levels anymore. I still ate starchy veggies. You don’t have to completely avoids carbs. It’s about the type of carbs you eat that matters the most (potatoes are good, but breads and pastas not so much - those should be very limited); so adopting a low carb diet is not always necessary.
I’ve been binge watching every chance I get. For myself so I can mentally and physically start feeling better with more energy. My mother has type 1 diabetes and is now on a low potassium diet and she’s been feeling overwhelmed with finding good food but I think all these videos will help her optimism moving forward once we start cooking again
I was just diagnosed with prediabetes, I’m so scared. I don’t want diabetes, I’m so grateful I’m in time to reverse this and found your videos to help!
Wow I was literally going to DM you last night on Instagram if you could do a video like this. I am type 2 diabetic. I discover your videos 2 weeks ago and went grocery shopping 2 days ago it took a while to shop but I found myself reading the ingredients thanks to you. Thank you so much for making this video !!!!!!!
perfect timing!
if you need help with your t2 check out "beat diabetes" youtube page
Red Dragon thank you will check it out
Thank you. Easy to understand when you show me. Watching so many videos and got confused. This will probably save my life. I'm deeply grateful to you.
I just stumbled onto this site and I love the service you are doing for many people who have no clue. So many people I know get diagnosed with diabetes and panic not knowing what to do. I will be recommending you to people who need the info.
A few people close to me have Type 1, and I'm so glad that you take an approach that combines quality ingredients WITH the macros. I'm so passionate about clean foods, and find that sometimes just focusing on the macros doesn't allow people to fully nourish themselves and cultivate a true appreciation for healthy food. I love the focus on good gut bacteria too! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you so much for doing this video especially for those with DIABETES. Diabetes has taken a toll in our lives, but with your help and educational advice it has made it easier for my family and I to adjust. Thank you and Bless you for all you do. Please more videos on diabetes meal prep. I work graveyard shift and its so hard to keep up with food preparations. My mother is on insulin right now please make more videos on how to do that. Once again GOD BLESS U! thank you for this video.
Thank you SO MUCH for this information. I'm trying my best to keep my family healthy after a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis 💜
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and it’s been so hard to find foods or really know what all I can eat. I know all of what I can’t, but that seems to be everything in the store. So the joy of food slowly started to disappear as I was just kind of eating blandly & avoiding so much. This video made me feel a little better knowing that I can have some tasty foods by being taught what to look for and how to read labels. Thank you.
Bobby, Art, Desi, and of course Super star ROSE!❤️ GOD BLESS YOU !!!
Thank you from a diabetic watching from Canada.
I'm 46 a type 2 diabetic and this is my first time watching one of your videos and I enjoyed it I will definitely start a grocery list and make a change for the better thank you I will be looking forward to more videos 👍
Just found I am 6.0 A1c. Closer to diabetic than pre now. This is great. Thank you!! Need this so I can start reshaping my life and diet. ❤️
I started eating 60% dark chocolate followed by increasing it by 5% after several months separating each increase until I only buy 100% organic baker’s chocolate bars. 2 grams net carbs/serving.
This is a great tip, thanks!
I’m not diabetic, but I have learned to really enjoy those 100% bars after being keto for periods of time. I always have like 6 of them on hand, and sometimes I’ll melt it and mix it with a nut butter, some monk fruit or truvia, coconut oil and some vanilla or almond extract. It’s a nice treat.
So smart!
Thank you. I’m a new diabetic and this helps.
He's not a doctor. Diabetics should not eat oats or pasta at all.
Search Dr Berry diabetes here on CZcams. He has some amazing videos and has done his research on nutrition unlike most Drs. You can also search Dr Berry Keto 101. He’ll tell you exactly what to do. He says Oats are a no! They spike blood sugar. He has a Facebook page too and goes live every Mon night. Lots of videos on his FB.
See blog bloodsugar 101
Wow! I have a newly diagnosed pre diabetic and you are saving my life
Me too my dietician stuck with the food guide that helped get us diabetic
Most informative, best video ever for someone with diabetes or just someone who wants to eat healthily! Not only do you say what is good or bad, but you explain why. This gives such a vast education on ingredients that can be useful when shopping for anything in the grocery store. Well done! Thank you.
Hey Bobby you changed my life by your video/tutorial and recipes. I changed the whole way of eating. All bad foods I thrown away. Thank you
I appreciate this video so much. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes a few weeks ago, and I'm still trying to figure out what's best to eat and what to avoid. This will definitely help me to make even better choices. I've been wanting a pasta substitute and will have to look for something like the pasta zero you showed. Thank you so much.
You can take different food and try what is the best for you. Everyone is different. To me, avocado is a no no. Consuming 1 medium avocado will shoot up my glucose level a lot. Same for cabbage and winter melon. So just try for a few different products, take the blood sugar after food and you will find what is the best for you.
Thank you so much for this video! I was diagnosed with being Pre Diabetic. This helps me so much with making better choices!!
This was by far the BEST HAUL for diabetics I have ever seen THANK YOU
Great content. As a diabetic on a low carb diet I really appreciate all the knowledge you share. Love it! I will definitely get many of these next time I go shopping!
This channel has changed my life, thank you so much Bobby! You are so educational!
I agree he is the best, straight to the point in keeping up to date on the products we need to eat. Also, Sten Ekberg on intermittent fasting, he makes so much sense on Eating healthier. These 2 men break down the pros & Cons on living a better life. They have change my Life on eating better & feeling better.
Just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I want as much information to help me. You just gave me a lot. Thank you!
