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 a person is willing to commit to a healthy diet and positive lifestyle, it significantly reduces the possibility of becoming a diabetic, as long as there is not an actual gene that has been compromised in the person's DNA as a result of inheritance.
The first thing to be aware of is that the national nutrition guidelines in the USA, which are adapted to varying degrees by other countries, are not healthy. They are based on bad science from the 1950s-1970s that has repeatedly been refuted over the last 50 years.
The second thing that is a challenge in committing to a healthy diet is that the person has to break addiction to processed packaged foods, fast foods, take away foods, and excess servings of even healthy foods. The food processing industry has consciously and deliberately modified processed foods, especially snacks, desserts, and beverages, to be addictive. The first step for someone who is regularly eating packaged processed foods and fast foods, and convenience store takeaways is to prepare themselves to fight what is in effect an addiction.
Along with the diet change, it requires exercise, good sleep practices, and stopping smoking.
Sadly, much of the population seems unable or unwilling to take on the hard, long process of making a change. Among those who are poor, the food assistance system in the USA is not designed to support them in making diet changes. The food assistance system is not designed to provide nutritionally healthy food. It is designed to provide the maximum number of calories at the lowest possible cost. That means mostly ultra processed packaged foods, which means excess sugars and carbohydrates, which means a path to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
*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*
"have not done any blood test. " - I think that this would be the first thing to do.
Go to a doctor. Christ…
@@williamwilson6499 She has lupus
Dr House MD.
Why are you spending time asking medical advice from randos on CZcams instead of taking your child to the doctor?
GO TO A DOCTOR! 🤦🏻♀️🙄
My mom had diabetes type 2 that resulted in heartfailure and kidneyfailure, also very high bloodpressure. She had a stroke the 23rd of april(this year) and then died from all of her organs pretty much shutting down the 15th of may, she was 74! She could have lived longer if she´d only went to doctors appointments and taken better care of herself, she lived in denial and thought she would get better by just eating healthy. I loved her more than anything.
People have to learn the hard way. My mother was Diabetic but refused to give up Sugar. She eventually got a Stroke and live for 15 years as a little more than a "vegetable" in a Nursing home. I would have said "I told you so" but her brain was too damaged to even recognize me.
Even eating outside the home is dangerous. Most restaurant employees are clueless about what is in the foods. Eating out, and eating out of packages almost always has oils, sugars, salts, dairy, and saturated fats
Yep. And restaurants re-use their deep-frying oils until they're completely oxidized and toxic.
Stop eating out.
@@sarahsnoweeven before it's used it's toxic
It is rare for me to eat out and when I order s all item (not a gigantic plate) everyone thinks I am gonna be sick or starve but when it comes time to move they cannot keep up with me if I give them a 15 minute head start! 🤣@@davemoss9505
They are in business.their priority is to make food delicious.so you come back.also they don't know if someone is heart or diabetes patient .
Living with diabetes is different for everybody. As a Type 2, I am SICK of the amounts of medications I am on. I have recently adopted Intermittent Fasting and am cutting down on sugars and the portion sizes of my meals [only two a day and NO snacks]. I have lost about 10 lbs. so far and will keep on doing this as a permanent change of lifestyle. I am finding that this is not a hardship for me. My body certainly is showing the results too.
My advice to fellow diabetics is this- Don't let ANYBODY tell you that you can't try to reverse this crap. You can improve your condition and your numbers. People who degrade and demean your efforts need to be tossed out of your life. Especially naysayer doctors. If they are not wanting you to ever regain your health then drop them ASAP! Find a doctor and a team that wants you to kick this crap! Lastly, steer clear of the ADA. They are financed by Big Pharma and their greed wants to keep you sick and dependent.
Just say ENOUGH! Take back control of your life! :)
Doctors and medical associations have been telling patients to cut down (or better, eliminate) sugar consumption SINCE DAY ONE and it's the single most effective diet change that helps to manage diabetes. The stupid/stubborn/ignorant people never listened. One day they suddenly decided to to do it because they watched some health guru video on youtube and they immediately started seeing the positive effects (what a surprise). Yet, the doctors are still called naysayers and quacks. LOL... Well, the world is overpopulated anyway, by low IQ organisms.
Carnivore, Atkins, or Intermittent fasting. Down 150 + pounds, no meds, and thriving. You can do it!!!! Leave the freaking carbs alone. No!!!!! You can't eat a little bit of everything in moderation!!!!!!
@@mike11022 it not just sugar, but most carbs, including any thing made from grain. Eat whole grains and then check your blood sugar. The medical professionals still recommend too many carbs. And animal fats are good for you, yet they say don't eat them. Men have been eating animal fats for millions of years.
Whole food plant based diet - watch forks over knives/plantpurenation. Nutritionfact.org
@@mike11022 Well, Mike, I don't know how you could be more wrong! Only very recently have the guidelines been modified to take onboard a limited amount of the good practice you describe. They are still suggesting eating a significant amount of carbohydrate daily, carbs that immediately convert to sugars in the digestive tract! The medical experts have been giving bad advice for decades! Try watching 'Fat Fiction' and you will get the full picture on how the population has been mislead into eating the SAD diet and the rising tide of illness that has accompanied it.
4 months ago, I dropped my carbs down to 20 grams or less a day, I have lost 45 lb in weight, my gut and moobs have gone, I have no more digestive issues, my energy levels have gone through the roof, my mental health is much better, I can adapt to temperature much better, my skin conditions have cleared up, plauqe on my teeth has gone, And I never ate junk food, or drank soda, take away was a rare treat. I was eating what I was told to eat by the heart doctors because I have heart disease, it made me fat sick and lazy !
Thanks Dr. Jason Fung.
Thanks Dr. Berg.
Thanks Tom DeLauer
Thanks Dot To Trot
There are no longer excuses for not being able to lose weight.
Also Drs. Sten Ekberg and Ken Berry...they and Dr. Fung changed my whole approach to eating and living a healthy nutritional lifestyle.
I followed Dr.Fung and I lost 40 lbs. and counting. I’m on mostly plant based diet. I puréed my vegetables and I hardly eat fruits. I do intermittent fasting everyday.
What???
💯👍
There's no excuse for type 2. If you discover you have it, you can reverse it.
My brother is dying from diabetes, the problem is not just that. It is the burden on the family to care for him years before death, just because he didn’t care about it 😢
I reversed pre diabetes on a whole food plant based diet. I lost 30 lbs and reversed my insulin resistance. My A1C is now 5.1%, and I have energy to spare! Food is medicine! 🌱
@user-sh6bl8vw3q Shall we compare? You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine.
Or an all meat diet. No carbs. Not even in fruit.
Or a carb-restricted diet the inclues low glycemic index foods, vegetable and animal proteins and fats, and moderate time-restriction, like one or two meals/day. A1c down from a raging 17 to 5.6 in 3 months, myself. With no meds.
I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in October 2021. After 3 months on a low carb diet my A1C went from 7.0 to 5.2. My blood pressure has also gone down and my weight has dropped 10%. I eat 3 meals a day and no longer get "hangry". I do get hungry but I don't have to eat immediately and can delay my meal by more than 1 hour if needed. EDITED 25 May 2024to add: I'm still eating low carb, however I am now eating a lot more meat/protein than I was when I wrote the comment originally. I'm now metabolically healthy and weigh what I did mid 1980s before having children.
Yep. This works and is probably the best / easiest method. I had an A1C of 8.6 in February. After 6 weeks, it was down to 6.0. I'm getting another test next week. Going by my glucose meter, I'm averaging around 4.8. No medications. I've also been overly sedentary. I eat 1-2 meals a day. No snacks. I've also lost about 35lbs. There's so many benefits, especially being able to get a full night's sleep. I don't miss any of the old things I used to eat. The only thing I miss a little is the convienence. But if I do consume stuff like bread, sugar or starch I feel pretty crappy. So it's not worth it.
@@tehrinny7031 That's good. You have done well. I miss the convenience but I try to have some easy to make/quick things available so that I don't get tempted to eat wrong things.
You need omad
Not for me thanks. We each have to find what works for us. I have tried 2 meals a day but don't like that either. I've been having an egg coffee for breakfast recently and that hardly has any carbs but makes me feel like I have had a meal.
@@user-lg2lt3io8s
OMAD I heard should be the natural trend, once what you eat actually satiates you until the next day. You shouldn't force yourself to eat once a day, OMAD is like an eventuality that just happens. You'll forget what it means to need food all day and just be happy to eat once a day because you just aren't as hungry as you used to be. I do carnivoreish type of diet, I still eat avocados, peanuts, dairy, eggs with my meats.
In loving memory of Cameron Morrison, story begins 22:40. Dr Julie you’re amazing! I love you & will love our Cameron always! GO TEAM CAMERON
I was born a type 1 diabetic diabetic and my twin sister was diagnosed a few months later. We lost her just over a year and a half ago. I miss her so much 😢
I'm very sorry to hear that, Emily. Thank you for sharing your story, please feel free to share any words of wisdom you've learned over your years of managing type 1 diabetes here. We wish you and your family all the best.
Sorry for your loss. Hang in there.
oh no! my heart breaks for your great loss! 💔
May only love be sent your way
😢
I’m T2 Diabetic but I’m 5’2” and I weigh 120 so it’s not always about being obese. I’m fasting to reverse my diabetes.
Search on your for Dr Berk and Dr Ekberk (two different channels), specifically with "diabetes" or "keto" keywords. In many cased Type 2 can be reversed. Good luck.
fasting can cure cancer imagine how good is that
Great video, thank you for shining the light. I have prediabetes. This year I was diagnosed having type 1 antibodies, which has given me great motivation to prevent getting full blown diabetes. I am underweight. I weigh 94 lbs. I have hashimoto’s disease. I see a nutritionist and a hormone specialist, and this has helped me a lot. I have just added weight training to my weekly exercise. I am 70 years old
It’s amazing how Dr Bernstein, a type 1 diabetic, manages his blood sugar so well and has surpassed the life expectancy for a type 1. He’s in his mid 80s. Low carb might be the best option for any diabetic.
OK , low carb, but you need to get your energy from somewhere other than just air. I believe eating meat all the time is not good and if you eat enough vegetables to get the energy you need , it seems you are back to square one. Maybe , just limiting good solid carbs at any one time may be a better choice. When I eat a biscuit in the morning, I take about 2 hours to eat the whole thing between doing other activities and that momentum seems to allow my body anyway to have the time to deal with it. ( and no , I don't get super hungry when doing this ) ( use caution if taking medications if you want to try that , I have a CGM and can monitor in real time ) I remember eating 3 or 4 pancakes at one time when younger and would always be tired about 30 minutes after eating.
might be but it is not. Not all carbs are created equal. What is plugging the cells to impede the absorption of vitamins and minerals?
@@WFPBFORLIFE Are carbs might not be created equal, but some are worse than others. Like fruit. Because fruit glycate faster than other sugars and doesn’t show up in the A1c test.
I’m so glad I found this channel after being a type 2 diabetic for 4 years!
A1C was 9.9 now it’s 7.0 and I just started on Ozempic to add to my Jardiance
You can get diabetes under control with two simple changes: intermittent fasting and cutting out added sugars.
You can do more, of course, but just those two changes will make a huge impact.
One of my brothers is type 2 as an adult because since being a kid he drank full strength coke like it was water. He used to buy several 24 can packs at a time. Whereas, the only soft drinks I drank were diet sodas because I have always hated how sweet sugary sodas are. It was weird how he never put on weight with all that coke but did get diabetes though.
My mother never touched any kind of sugar ever. She's the most unstable uncontrolled diabetic I've ever heard of. She eats enoemous servings of fatty meat every day. Always has because Dr Atkins. She's 82 and still eats enough fatty meat to feed a small town each night. Shes been injecting insulin for 20 years.
Sugar doesn't cause type - 2
Why is healthy food expensive so poor people is stuck with processed foods and become diabetic 😢😢😢😢😢
@@user-vy4xx2qp3dit is a big big big contributor.
24:52 type 2, 34:17 symptoms, 41:34 type 2 turn around with change of lifestyle - low carb, good quality of food, exercise ... 43:12 many kids would be diabetics, 43:46 environmental factors, 46:26 food industry and food we eat, 51:53 kids with diabetes on the rise
I'm glad I came across this on my notifications. I just got type 2 and been a bizzy single working mum I was always grab what ever food on the go. It's a big wake up call. I'm so gonna be on a new path to a healthy lifestyle 🙌🙌
Sorry to hear that 😥. Yes, lifestyle is a contributor. I hate the fact that I can't cook before.. I was also a fast food eater on 80% of my meal just about on the red light I was able to reverse it.
@@ladyEnchantressGarden yes I got my bloods back this week and I was able to reverse it too 😀 so proud 🙌🙌 Awesome for you too 😀
Just diagnosed in Aug for 2nd time…this time I’m taking it seriously. On metformin & working out daily…already down 18lbs
I was 142kg 12 months ago I’m 35 yrs of age and in last year half was told I was a type 2.I was on medication n injections and was told it can’t be fix.I found IF and keto.I started walking daily that was it didn’t punch myself one bit.but push my keto diet to the max lol. 1 month I was off all medication. 1 year later I’m 80kg and Holden a perfect weight for my height my health has gone back to how I felt in my teen our body’s are amazing can can fix itself.my life changed for the best.my blood sugar level now is between 70 n doesn’t go any higher than 5,4 after eating..yes exercise is a important for overall health.but to reverse type 2 and to loose with 90% is nutrition.10% is exercise.drop carbs n sugars lower stress and get good sleep and massive progress WILL HAPPEN.
Carbs is not the problem. Carbs are energy humans need carbs! The problem begins with the type of carbs.
Diabetes and obesity is caused by insulin resistance which is the build up of fats in cells that are not meant to store it. This causes insulin levels to rise and glucose levels in the blood to rise because it cannot enter into the cells.
@@WFPBFORLIFE This is nonsense, we do not need carbs...
The human body uses carbohydrates more efficiently for energy. Wrong what we do not need is meat and diary! Your nonsense@@Kontrabass66
Diabetes and obesity is caused by insulin resistance which is the build up of fats in cells that are not meant to store it. This causes glucose levels to rise! This is the real science, not some nonsense dream of your fool. Get it right your confused about the truth!@@Kontrabass66
Was obese before. Started working out and got into bodybuilding as well as priotizing protein over sugar. Now I'm morbidly healthy and severely happy.
"Morbidly healthy" lol Well I guess morbidity is a part of the human condition, isn't it?
I searched up diabetes to learn about it and Im glad I clicked on this video because it was very informative. Now I know a lot about this health disorder.
Food is not food these days. It's a food-like substance.
Commercially Manufactured Edible Substance/NOT FOOD
I was diagnosed with type two diabetes a few years ago..and I'm on the road to change and acceptance. It's not my fault but it's my responsibility.Ive lost Aunts and Uncles to this terrible disease amputations..this is frightening to me so I have to accept it and make changes to my lifestyle.
Hi Michael just checking in to see how you are doing? I've now been low carb since Oct 2021 which I started to remit my diabetes.
Thanks for the video it opened my eyes and now I am exercising
Lower carb is better for diabetics, especially type 2. But the KIND of carbs also matters. Also other lifestyle changes are important. Better sleep, more movement, more water. Healthier food choices.
Sadly doctors have been telling people for 50 years to eat less carbs. It is not the problem. Life style has it's part as well. Saturated fats is the leading cause of insulin resistance in the human anatomy.
@@WFPBFORLIFE Zero grams of dietary carbs and sugars are required to sustain human life. The body requires fat and protein to function. Fat and meat don't rot your teeth. Sugar and carbs do.
That is factually not correct, dietary fiber is vital to the gut microbiome and sustaining longevity. Sugar is highly processed and like meat and dairy (highly processed). plenty of fat and protein is easily obtained through fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
Do not kid yourself meat consumption is not sustainable, healthy for the planet, nor the for the people. The leading cause of disease in every country on earth. A petri dish of a disaster coming. Antibiotic resistance anyone? Why do we expend nearly all antibiotics on earth into Animal Agriculture? To prevent more disease spread!!! You have been lied to about proteins. Animal Agriculture is the most destructive industry on earth and the most inefficient way to a protein man has ever processed. Fact is diets heavy in beans are highly associated with longevity.
Get educated about carbs because like so many your interchanging whole real complex carbohydrates with sugars? Athletes carb load before major events (not meat load) plenty of new scientific evidence and past evidence that animal consumption is causing obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Your severely confused and desperately hanging onto disgust!@@dictare
Carbohydrates are much easier on vital organ functions ie; pancreas, liver, and kidneys! DUH!@@dictare
Check into the postprandial effects of your diet. Saturated fats plug cells, arteries, and digestion. I eat loads of carbs daily without issues and my cells are wide open it is obvious in the gym or steam room compared to others. Several pieces of fruit, beans, and potatoes. Potatoes are considered the highest satiety food humans consume.
Health is most important gift we have stay away from junk food, sodas, processed food, and sugar.
I’m so encouraged by the many people who saw positive outcomes after a low-carb diet. Can someone share what their diet is?
I was, diagnosed with pre_diabetes and started a journey of green drinks of cucumbers and celery kale, spinach and a touch of garlic and ginger, and exercised for 3 months and reversed it.
No longer pre_diabetes but I still have to be very careful because my mother had it but she took the pill, my brother has type 2. It can be reversed You don't have to settle...
This documentary was so informative...I've been living with Type 2 for the last 5 years, now on 2 medications to control my numbers...I'm starting to take it more seriously and am starting a regimen to lose 40 lbs...5 years too late but still hoping to at least get off 1 medication...I believe exercise is important...I won't be running marathons but I plan to start walking and hope to do 2 to 3 miles a day...I'm also getting a pool and plan to do water aerobics...I've already got my pool weights...Both my parents had Type 2 and all my siblings do as well, so I'm very sure it has to do with genetics somewhat...I purchased an air fryer and have been making some delicious meals and Veggie sides without all the oil...I never have eaten at restaurants or take out much in the past as I like home cooked better for the nutritional value...I look forward to more videos and better health...Thank you for sharing this information.
O carbs and keto diet will help. Avocado and olivE oils and eat nice healthy fat food.
It's been a year. I hope you've done the improvements you've mentioned.
What I don't understand is why the medical profession focuses on identifying the existence of a medical problem and not on the precursor of the medical problem. For diabetes, my understanding is that changes in insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance starts years before blood glucose levels reach points where they are a concern. But the standard testing for physical exams is a test for blood glucose level, not for insulin resistance.
My understanding is that there are more doctors who are starting to think that there is no pre-diabetes. There is diabetes or there is no diabetes. By the time a person is tested as being pre-diabetic, insulin resistance is already established.
You're right. I've never understood why they don't test for insulin resistance in Australia. They instead give glucose tolerance tests which from experience, I cant imagine anyone not failing it. Drinking large amounts of concentrated glucose on an empty fasting stomach is enough to send anyones sugars into orbit.
In Poland we do have tests fasting insulin and insulin glucose curve
But they should do all of it once they spot an overweight patient And during test for a job which are required in Poland
But you have to pay even for fasting insulin and for curve aswell its ridicoulous
Every food has a glycemic index which lets you know how fast a food will increase the level of glucose in the blood. Aim for low glycemic foods. I always struggled to remain at a healthy weight but once I learned about glycemic index and picked low glycemic index foods, I have no problem maintaining a BMI of about 20-22, which is where it is best for me (I am on the smaller side). This data should be on food labels (that will never happen). The info is widely available on the Internet.
The glycemic index is pure rubbish. Nobody eats a cup of rice by itself. It doesn't take into account mixed meals with fats and proteins. A food that sends one person's blood sugar off the charts may not even effect another persons.
It's the biggest scam ever invented.
Také a look at the insulin /blood sugar tests shown on various foods on u tube to promote glucose monitors, relate that to the GI Index... you might just change your mind...... I know the reality from my actual tests and can assure the Index is a very important, accurate and tool for the average person.
I was diagnosed 9 years ago, my blood glucose level was 6.3 when diagnosed, had none of the symptoms. I had a job where I had to sit at the computer for 9.5 hours with only a lunch break. There wasn't much time to get sufficient exercise between work. 4 out of 5 of us in my dept were diabetics. I didn't think I was eating badly. For many years I lived with a trained dietitian whom I'd consult about my food habits. I followed that damn food pyramid. As a child growing up, my mom would tell us to eat a bowl of cereal (usually without milk since we never had enough)--not sugary cereal, things like shredded wheat and puffed wheat. In college, I had a horrible diet, grabbed a Snickers bar and milkshake as I zoomed through the school's cafe on my way to yet another class. But it wasn't until I was in my mid 50s that my body stopped being able to handle carbs--my doctor never mentioned diabetes, not even pre-diabetes, just that I was gaining weight but I was going through menopause and my thyroid gland was not producing enough juice. My paternal grandmother died from complications after surgery due to diabetes (way back in the 40s). My dad had diabetes but controlled in with food, no meds. My older brother was an insulin-dependent diabetes and died 3 years ago from complications. My sister is pre-. When I was diagnosed, I took a 2 day diabetes class to learn what it is, how to do the home testing, what to eat and what not. It was an excellent class. However, the diabetic nurse and diabetic dietitian teaching the class took out blood number and gave each of us a breakdown of about how many carbs we could eat per day, even into what was the suggested maximum per meal & snack. I followed that and was still gaining weight, about 10 pounds per year. I was walking when I could. When I retired 4 years ago, I walked even more since I had the time but that didn't seem to change my glucose levels (just was nice to be out and about). I was eating what was recommended, cut way down on my starchy carbs and still I was gaining weight. Then last year I decided to go on a keto diet, I had to do something or I would need to start using insulin and was not what I wanted. I hadn't had such a bad diet to begin with, never ate fast food, ate as little processed food as possible, ate only a limited amount of starchy foods--bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, other grains, root vegs, fruit, and I hadn't even liked sugar for several decades. I finally started to lose some weight, my blood glucose went down to below where it was when I was first diagnosed but it was still above 99mg. I continue to eat keto seriously, none of that "I cheated" or "fell off the wagon"--even during this Covid sheltering. I eat mainly meat/fish and vegetables, almost always a salad of some kind (not potato) along with whatever cooked veg, and generally a set of eggs after waking and then 1 meal for dinner. It has been almost a year now and I have plateaued, haven't lost any weight in hte last 6 months, my glucose levels haven't gone down any further, but at last I've been able to keep my weight and glucose levels stable. I occasionally wish I could grab a pizza like everyone else, eat desserts, have ice cream on a hot day, all those things other people take for granted. But I saw my brother die from out of control diabetes--he had sores on his legs oozed and wouldn't heal, he could hardly stand on his own, eventually collapsed and was hospitalized where he had a stroke on his right side, his eyes couldn't stand light, lost the ability to talk although he may have been able to understand what he heard and then he had a massive heart attack and died. I've had only 1 incidence of too low glucose (hypoglycemia) when I had food poisoning and didn't eat for 5 days, my body just completely voided--I was mainly groaning in bed between toilet bouts and about day 3 or 4 I desperately wanted something sweet, don't keep anything sweet in my home but luckly I found a small can of fruit cocktail in my emergency supplies and drank the juice in the can, then ate some peanut butter and some other stuff before goign back to bed. On a keto diet, I am very careful about what my body tells me I need. Being in ketosis is the aim of a keto diet because you take in carbs only through the vegetables you eat (remember, no corn, no potatoes, no grains, no rice, no sugar) your body is forced to burn your stored fat to run on--but as a diabetic II have to be careful to be always aware of what my body is feeling or I could go into a faint or coma--my body mismanages carbs. I do believe diabetes isn't curable; if you go back to what you used to do/eat, you'll be diabetic again; you have to change your whole life style and continue to check your blood. I'm never going to eat pizza every week, can't have a bowl of rice with Asian food. I'll never be able to have a bowl of pasta and sauce or eat dessert after dinner every night. I will always remind myself that I AM diabetic so I eat and live so my glucose stays low enough. To let myself think "I'm cured" would make me think I could go back to eating like everyone else which I can never do; my body has already shown me that it can't handle an American food life. Some people who still have a good metabolism, as that one woman who thinks she no longer is diabetic, might be able to reverse it but they are still going to be diabetic for the rest of their lives--their bodies have proved that things have gone wrong (once) already if they aren't careful about their life style. Unlike, in her lame comparison, cancer which she compared it to, at least with cancer they can treat it with chemo/radiation/surgery and remove the cancer they see and if they get it all and you remain clear for a number of years, you can hope you're cancer free after that but you can't do that with diabetes. You may be able to reduce your risk for many of the diabetes complications by changing your life style but if you stop doing that, you'll go right back to having high blood glucose levels. That's the difference. There is no "cure" for diabetes at this point in time and anyone who tells you so is either lying or underinformed, or living in some fantasy world.
Post too long.
You can go into remission with diabetes but we cannot reverse our condition. Keto works for me too.
Hello, WFPB diet maybe?❤
Writing a book
a rare symptom is altered taste or loss of taste. if this happens go to the doctor. be sure to count your carbs. it's not just about cutting out sugar. Three 25 g carbs three times a day and two 10 g carb snacks. Type 2 can progress very fast especially in a disabled person who can't exercise.
That makes sense as my blood sugar just started spiking and I couldn’t taste certain foods well anymore. 😳
Thank you for making intracellular lipids clear which form more readily from saturated fat than glucose.
In November of 2019 I had been on metformin for a year. My A1C was 7.8 and my fasting blood sugar was usually 135 in the morning. I weighed 206 lbs. my pain and inflammation was almost debilitating. I was placed on diclofenac and cortisone for the joint inflammation. I discovered intermittent fasting and OMAD, one meal a day on CZcams. I started eating once a day between 4 pm and 8 pm, cut back carbohydrate and stopped alcohol completely. Today May 15, 2020 my weight is 183 lbs, my A1C was 6.4, pulse 58 and blood pressure 123/77. My doctor cut my atenolol in half and said if I can lower my A1C a little more and keep it stable he would consider cutting that back or out. I no longer take cortisone or diclofenac. I feel fantastic and although I cheat at times I can easily eat once a day effortlessly. Diabetes is food poisoning. Research Dr Fung and OMAD.
Rickenbacker954 Good for you. That’s awesome. Don’t stop.
Rickenbacker954. there's nothing more to read......!?

A relative of mine is type 2 diabetic and on Metformin, now her 12 year old child is pre diabetic. The whole family are very overweight and fast food is something they enjoy too much
This is my medical recommendation diagnoses for me only so far. I'm not a doctor or nutritionist. Each person whose first diagnose with pre diabetes or is full blown is totally different. This will be my forever lifestyle change. Can never go back! I'm hoping to lessen one of my medications. I'm recently a new type 2 diabetic.
Thank you for this video
remove sugar and carbohydrates and your life will change. I am carnivore and feeling great everyday.
What about Type 3 diabetes - also called Alzheimer's disease?
And MODY and LADA diabetes.
Great information.
So much useful information, but so much outdated information, or thinking still rooted in the last century. Whatever it is, going on about increased consumption of fat is just not correct given that its consumption has steadily been on the decrease for the past 50 years.
I have found that just getting rid of sugar,processed foods, REAL NATURAL FOODS and feed oils have enabled me to keep my weight down and eat much healthier foods. Still have trouble decining carbs though ( sigh)
KETO helped me lose 100lbs and no longer borderline type 2
Tried keto yes i lost weight but i got gall bladder stone due to high fat and protein intake. I switched to low GI carb and less protein now
@@richpt3646 you got stones cause you ate sugar
@@jayhillz3705 nope
@@trotskyite1 You got stones because your gallbladder was not emptied regularly. You should have taken apple cider vinegar with lemon juice twice a day.
So you lost weight but ruined your heart and blood vessels. Great job. 🙌🏼
It's pretty simple do not consume most products at grocery stores. Because they have sugar and additives eat mostly meat and some vegetables and some dairy products like butter and cheese.
GREAT VIDEOS
Well done sir 👍
Fructose from fruit and high fructose corn syrup give you fatty liver. Don't eat them. You get all the vitamins you would get in fruit from vegetables anyway. Cut out the complex carbs like wheat, rice, potatoes, pasta and bread and eat only moderate meat and no grain-based oils. Eat healthy fats like olive oil and coconut oil. You don't need to track calories (although they are important). Walk 45 minutes a day. We've been conditioned by the big food industry to consume the cheap-to-produce foods for maximum profit. Eat clean and ditch the carbs and sugars and you'll be ok.
@CJ DUNROVIN Do you really believe that eating whole foods ( brown rice,beans,potatoes,sweet potatoes, squashes...) are the reason we have an obesity and diabetes epidemic? Think about that, it makes zero sense. I will ask you the same thing I ask other low carb friends, show me a population of healthy long lived low carb eaters... To date there are none. doesn't that concern you? You are worried about eating an orange, but have no problem using oil... the most refined food on the planet. ALL large successful long lived populations on the planet eat between 60 and 80 percent of their calories from whole starches with little to no added fat. We are all glucose burning organisms, there are no exceptions. What low carb folks are suggesting is nature or God made a mistake in the design and they are smarter so they will get it right. i can prove this very easily. We can live with zero ketones in our bloodstream, if i was able to get glucose out of your bloodstream you would die before your glucose got to zero.... To put man made processed junk carbs in the same category as a sweet potato really is just dumb....
Please stop with the high fructose corn syrup rubbish. My country doesn't even have it. It's totally an American only product yet we still have diabetes all around the world.
You're spot on, all those simple carbs translate to sugar. Modern fruit is engineered to be sweet, most are just junk with a little fibre. Have an upvote!
China. Japan. Korea. Should I go on?
Why is it sooooooo difficult to say the truth, which is there is sugar in everything packaged food? Genetics are used as an excuse, obliviousness is another excuse, it is frustrating to hear, just stop ingesting processed sugar
The real problem isnt just sugar, its refined carbs that turn into sugar quickly in the blood. Causing diabetes from things like burgers and pizza.
Just sugar??? That's old school. Highly processed foods, fast foods, and those lame products that claim they're healthy for us are a huge culprit. It's not healthful or helpful to just wag the finger at folks. Educate with compassion is key.
I wouldn’t say genetics is an excuse, it’s a contributing factor along with poor diet, and lack of/no exercise.
I have family members who never ate sugar or processed food. They got it. Ex smokers and smokers get it. Drunks get it. It's not just about the food.
Great documental. I wish people learn how to follow a good life style related with food
Us too!
If you watched the video, you know it’s not just about food and what you eat. 🤦🏻♀️
Very well made document!!! Thanks.
Thank you :)
Food is comfort and addicting. We have to get to the root of why we keep eating it. Why is key and what thoughts make me what to eat junk food. We have reasonings in our mind like, " I DESERVE IT" or JUST ONE WON'T KILL ME. I am aware of my why I teach "THINKING" skills to overcome food addiction.
Awesome documentary though could have touched on Diabetes Insididus as well
I am a diabetic who took a large amount of insulin. I'm type 2 but some doctors thought I was a type 1 due to the amount of insulin that I had to take. I got all insulin with a vegan diet and I did this without trying.
Awesome! Vegan power!!! 🎉
I am sorry, but I lived this way for the last 20 years and I still ended up with diabetes. I am tired of people telling me that I am doing it wrong and I just need to do X. It's ridiculous to think that a person with degrees in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Computer Science is still getting it wrong. I rode my bike 5 miles to work every day and 10 miles home, and I was stopped on the street by a stranger saying you are doing the right thing, but you gotta loose that gut, so only eat cucumbers and watermelon! Well I tried that, guess what I didn't loose my gut. Now I walk my dogs two miles twice a day and still no weight lose. Now that I have stumbled onto the carnivore diet I am finally loosing weight. But even with that I have to be very strict, only meat, no plants, ever! Plants bring nothing to the table but sugar and I can't eat another one ever again. People talk about "glucose spikes", but guess what diabetics don't get? That's right, glucose spikes. Because when you are diabetic and eat sugar, your blood sugar just goes up and never comes down, until the kidneys have to filter it out and that takes a lot of water and bathroom breaks.
Thanks!
Thank you Kevin!
There are donuts everywhere
Nobody's making you eat them.
thanks for this amazing episode, where can i watch rest of the episodes ?
Thanks Ranjit! You can watch the rest of the episodes and grab hours of bonus vids by clicking the links in the description.
Where do you think? 🤦🏻♀️
Ketones are the primary source of fuel for humans not glucose.
Sell, sell, sell no matter what it kills.
yes
Addicted to prossesed food
Sugar in everything!
Feel guilty I just wolfed down a donut. Not diabetic and in good health but something evil will happen to me now. Personally, I think we just eat too damned much and too often.
There's belief that ex smokers and smokers are more predisposed to diabetes too. It's not just food, it's poisoning your body with crap ingested, snorted, inhaled whatever.
The [Diabetes 2] Epidemic!
Double cheese burger is not the problem it's the additives and the bun. Beef has few carbs. Same the cheese. Just eat low carb.
I had lived all my life in south Georgia until ten years ago when I moved to North Carolina. I had been to doctors frequently due to one thing or another and never once did my so called regular doctor(s) say anything to me about diabetes. I learned 5 years ago while being prepped for back surgery that I was a diabetic. My pre-op blood work done the day before showed that my glucose was over 800 mg/dl and during my prepping for surgery the nurse came rushing in to check my sugar and it read High, which mean't according to her that their meters said high only if it was over 700. They gave IV and subQ insulin immediately and before I left the hospital 3 days later I had a glucose monitor and supplies and a prescription for 2 diabetic medications and was told to follow up with my regular doctor. I did and the only thing he said was, "Hmmmm." I think that the reason why people don't know they have diabetes is that some doctors don't care or won't say anything because if a person becomes a diabetic then thats more money for them. I now have to see the doctor every 3 months, get my blood drawn and get my prescriptions. Money is the culprit.
SANDRA TAYLOR Nope. What you eat is the culprit.
Doctors treat the symptoms and don't think hard enough about the causation. No wonder people don't get better.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor I've always ate healthy so it was not my diet but my genetic disposition.
SANDRA TAYLOR That’s what they all say.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Two years later, I hope you've managed to become a kinder person.
Phenotype = Genetic + Environment + (Genetic x Environment)
Food choices---as an environmental factor---surely has an influence to whether a person can have (or not have) T2D in the future.
With the advancement of epigenetics, we will learn more about how T2D develops as a chronic, lifestyle-related disease.
Very helpful and motivated me to make changes in mi life and my diet. Thank you!
You're very welcome, Patricia! Thanks for watching!
That constant ominous music was unnecessary
Why isn't there any information in this about duet? Why aren't they tell people about keto and carnivore diets so they can support or even reverse these effects?
Carnivore has helped my husband and no more 2tD ….👍😻
Good luck with the bowel cancer.
There is no cure for type 2, he still has type 2 but is in remission.
WFPB is the answer@@Ausgar-yc1yl
He's diabetes probably gotten worst due to high saturated fat worsen the insulin resistance. Symptoms are not just showing up due to lower sugar level.
Can’t find episode 2.
Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately at this time we are only able to offer episode 1 here. You can click the link in the description to see episodes 2 - 8, plus hours of supplemental material.
Do you have any information or advice about LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults)? I was diagnosed with diabetes in my fifties and my doctor eventually decided, due to the way I responded (or didn't) to treatment, that I had LADA. I have several other autoimmune disorders, including Crohn's Disease, alopecia, and asthma. I'd like to know if I need to manage my diabetes more like Type I or Type II. By the way, I've had a pretty dramatic experience with ketoacidosis, when an abscess caused by my Crohn's Disease sent my blood sugar through the roof. I ended up being airlifted to the nearest city and spending nearly two weeks in the hospital. Not my idea of a vacation.
See a Doctor not CZcams. 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Lol there was actually chocolate ads while watching this video
Regarding Type 2 diabetes and genetics, how much of it is due to learned bad behavior passed down throughout generations? Grandparents fed parents a terrible diet and encouraged inactive lifestyle, and then your parents do the same to you. So it's more about generational behavior than any actual true gene factors.
I thought if myself as fat but fit WFPB diet with extras....
I was diagnosed in 2019 when kept off my bike by flu. I lost 10kg in 3 months and fixed it
I'm now 25 kilos lighter and as a bonus now have LDL cholesterol and triglycerides in the low 70s.
How can people "live with" diabetes ?
where is episode 2 ?
We generally eat like our parents, they showed us. That is not genetics….
I haven't seen that, most people follow food pyramid, advertising and cravings.
Excellent 👍
Thanks for the visit!
When you have prediabetes you already have a lot of damage in your body. The insulin resistance can and should be caught earlier. Once you passed your BMI to be not in the healthy range, test your fasting insulin and glucose, chanfr your diet to low GI diet( and low fat trans) and try not to pass this BMI healthy range add some exercise.
Do you have a member of your family with Diabetes Mellitus (T3)

Food (specifically herbs, vegetables, and or fruits) has been medicine for thousands of years in various cultures long before the USA existed! Those foods did not include animal by- products or animal fats. The consumption of meat and fat in the west is off the charts. No secret that meat consumption is highly related to disease! DUH!
Eat REAL FOOD only.
Wow I wish I was so rich I could just up and move to New Zealand just because I felt like it.

You don't NEED exogenous carbohydrates
cut out the intake of refined carbo !!!! got Keto & intermittent fasting !!!
People are stubborn. Just give up eating carbs and sugar. Period!
Yes, and carbohydrates are very addictive. Lays potato chips jingle; "Betcha can't eat just one!". Well, you cant.
Hi everybody
YOUR FORK,THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL TO TRANSFORM YOUR HEALTH AND CHANGE THE WORLD
- MARK HYMAN MD
type 2 diabetes is not a chronic disease on the contrary it is reversible, it is enough to change its lifestyle from the point of view of food, physical activity, social, spiritual and more physical, while getting away from stress like running away from the plague. one thing you should not forget is fasting, for example we Muslims are fasting from 5 am until 8 pm for 1 month as it is Ramadan & best wishes of Algeria
There is no profit in a cure.
i have a question for the doctor Jean Lawrence on 36:12 refering to genetics plays a big role on developing diabetes,what evidence that she has to support that idea??. i have heard a lot of doctors stating that genetics has nothing to do is your diet .She is refering to races like blacks or hispanics as a whole but not to individual persons , look at these people's diet!!!
Dr Fung is the Authority on Health also Look at the Ellen White
To all those railing against carbs, study after study reveals that people in the blue zones have diets with lots of COMPLEX carbs. There's your key. What they DON'T eat at all is ultra-processed rubbish. Most of them have either an occasional or a minimal daily alcoholic drink, and they eat lots of fruit and veg. The Buettner study revealed that "65% of dietary intake in blue zones came from complex carbohydrates, and these foods are the five pillars of a longevity diet on four continents: whole grains like corn, rice and oats (complex carb), greens, tubers including potatoes and yams (complex carb), nuts, and beans (complex carb)."
Is type-2 diabetes really has something to do with genetics? Or maybe the children only adopted the 'diabetic' lifestyle of their parents
Where's Part 2?
Where do you think? 👁️👁️
If I over use my tendons and they get inflamed and I can no longer use my arm is that a disease?? No of course not, so how is eating sugar all day long and this causes inflammation of the pancreas and it becomes resistance, because it's over worked, how is this a disease,
glorianne papolis if you over work your tendons to a point they hurt you will stop and rest until they are no longer inflamed and no longer hurt and they are usable again. Eating sugar all day will not cause the hurt that you feel in your tendons, you cannot immediately feel the pain and so rest from the sugar intake. You cannot feel the hurt that sugar causes it’s a very slow build up process and creates complications years later. Did you not watch the whole documentary, they talk about pre diabetes. Do your homework.
@@cazzag8254 there are symptoms along the way, such as headaches, malaise, frequent urination, increase thirst, blurred vision, fatigue, nausea, confusion, recurrent infections, slow healing sores, dental issues, tingling of hands and feet, to name a few, do your research don't just listen to one lecture, and people know if they eat crap they will not get the proper nutrition and damage their organs, alcohol is a poison, yet people drink, fried food , cereal, chips, soda, bread, meat, are terrible for health, yet people consume them, therefore you are incorrect, there are many signs and symptoms along the way warning you of the damage you are creating by eating these foods, there are no excuses,
@@cazzag8254 therefore you do your homework
An inflamed tendon is an "injury" and a lack of insulin is a "disease." Neither is good and both need treatment (rest).
Ok
