Doctor i diagnosed with diabetic it's 7.33 my HBAIC
I watch all your video's and so very helpful Doctor.
Your pronunciation of specific words is terrible. If you're going to work with English speaking clients, at least learn the language PROPERLY.
I have been type 1 diabetic for around 54 years on insulin. My last A1C was 6.2 . I am now 80 yrs. Old I have been blessed.โค๏ธ
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, itโs not the same as type 2 which is mostly down to diet.
Good work!
Thank you so.much for the information
That's amazing how you lived long life with type 1 d untill 80 years amazing job .
As a nurse, I can say this is a very good explanation for patients. With any chronic disease, patient education plays a critical role in maintaining optimal health. If you can get a patient to feel like they have a degree of control over their medical condition you have done a great service for them.
My HbA1c was 8.5. Three months doing strict Keto and it dropped to 5.5. I also dropped 50 pounds. Low carb works for me.
Congrats! I am on the fence about Keto diet because I am mostly plant-based and don't want to consume much animal fat. Did you loose the 50 lbs in the span of 3 months? Also, did you work out?
โ@@marwansal4175 No, I lost the 50 lbs in 4 months.(I never counted calories and never felt deprived of food. It took me 30 days to wean myself from sugar and another 30 days to wean myself from processed foods. I was almost completely immobile for the first two months because of broken foot, heel bone and fractured vertebrae. I would love to get myself to the point where I can work out but I'll settle for getting to the point of being able to walk for more than 10 minutes. I'm seriously considering a plant based diet for three months. My only hesitation is dealing with the inflammation I get from some vegetables. I know I can get healthy fats from avocado oil, etc.
@@2late4me2care ๐๐
@@marwansal4175 Check out "Heavenly Fan" on CZcams, She is vegan Keto.
That's typical! Doctors at the VA need to be educated. They are stuck on using Metforman rather than carb restriction. They want me to quit eating meat and take Statins and Metforman. You could educate them!
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic a year ago. My gloucose was 125. I got on the keto diet and it dropped to 87 and I'm losing weight and my A1C is now 5.7.
Ur a1c befor john?
Good job! Keep it up! And keep watching and sharing our videos on social media.
@@samimoha2027 It was 6.1
Good on that. Yes Iโm on the same thing as well, but careful with keto cuz you can raise cholesterol level
Don't worry about cholesterol!

When or how do we know that weโre at our 3-month period to test for exact A1c? I liked when you asked: Is A1c perfect?.... I, personally, question this test, unless I am missing the fact that thereโs a way to know exactly when oneโs blood is at its 3-month period. Thanks for your insight.
You don't need any meds if you change your diet and do intermittent fasting. A good A1C is between 4.8 and 5.1 eliminate all sugar from diet and keep carbs below 60 grams a day. I tested 5.7 3 weeks ago . That sucks. It's not good. Forget 6.0 shoot for 5.1
Good
My A1C was hovering in the high 6's to low 7's for many years. My Dr warned me I needed to take control of my diet and start to exercise or I would need to go on medicine for it. I ignored him because it was hovering there for years without change. Then it suddenly jumped to 10.1 and I was put on insulin and metformin. I guess that was the wake up call I needed to kick my butt into action. I went on a ketogenic diet and started walking at least a half hour a day, usually closer to an hour a day, and I've been doing some light weight training.. I also have dropped 50 lbs. My A1C is now down to 5.6 and at 64 yrs old, I'm in the best shape of my life. I wish I had done this years ago, but better late then never.
my last check up had A1c at 10.4. I refuse to take metformin because of side effects and I sure wont take insulin. I have switched to keto, lost 24lbs and daily blood sugar check has me at 114 to 160 which tells me that diet is way more important than any medication.
@@bobwestchevelle Awesome! Keep it up!
Go keto. High. Might have to try it myself especially since I love meat! Lol
you are the MOST KNOWLEDGABLE ENDO, I have ever heard
Thank you.
This is great info. Keep puttin it out there Doc! The world needs more like you...
My A1c was out of range and my doctor prescribed insulin. I couldn't stick myself so I gave up all sugar, especially HFCS, and lost 75 lbs. My A1c is now close to 6.5! B/P 120/70!
You have to get your A1C below 5.7 otherwise it is too high. It's not just about cutting sugar, but cutting carbs like potatoes and rice too! Reduce your carbs to not more than 30g PER DAY....then you will get into the healthy range of not more than 5.6.
@@markferwerda7968 yes 30g/day is a good target for simple carbs like potatoes and white rice. But complex carbs are good for the body, maybe not for severely diabetic, like those from green veggies, fruits (except very sweet ones like pineapple), beans, etc.
@@mantan_rtw I agree completely and eat plenty of green vegetables.
@@markferwerda7968 the doctor very clearly stated that even an A1C of 6.5 to 7 is still really good and wonโt have complications
My A1c was 17. I *immediately* cut ALL sugar, grains and wheat flour, cut carbs to 50 grams, quit insulin and metformin within a month. Much YT watching. With a continuous glucose monitor, I've spent the last 3 months trying to figure out what I can eat without spiking BG or hypos, and am also concerned with protein (kidney damage) and fat (high triglicerides) Giant kale shakes daily! My average glucose is under 110 right now! A1c test and lipids next week.
Your passion for educating and informing patients about diabetes has transformed my life. Thank you for another comprehensive, easy to understand video. God Bless you for educating us!
You're welcome.
I am learning so much about diabetes watching your videos. Thank you so much for them.
I brought my a1c from 12.1 down to a consistent 6.4 without using any diabetes meds. I was started on them but through google university I researched my butt off and found I was not willing to deal with the negative effects of metformin and I had an allergic reaction to the stronger med they gave me. I achieved this through diet by adopting the Keto way of eating and I dont follow it strictly but follow it pretty strongly.
Congrats! Same here. Just received new A1c today at 3 month keto mark. Down from 11.5 to 6.1 in 3 months. No meds, though Trulicity was prescribed. I did not take it. Metformin increases liver enzymes - cannot take it. Tried Metformin earlier in life (30 years ago) for different condition. Had to go off it very quickly - doc was talking liver transplant!!! It must have been bad but has not recurred since then. Liver enzymes always normal.
An earlier doctor started me on Januvia once. It gave me a headache the next day that did not cease until 2 days after discontinuing it. Only took it 3 days. Worst 5 days of my life. Never had a headache in my entire left before or after that. Never again! I think Januvia has been removed from market due to side effects. So I try to find non-drug solutions where available. Keto works. And reading the info sheet in the Trulicity package, it messes with every organ in the body that the diabetes hasn't already messed up. No way! Still my doc sings its praises and wants me to take it for weight loss even though not needed for diabetes any longer. Will not do it.
Great for you.
Yes giving you a drug, that's said to be less liver toxicity , then taking your liver away because of their drug is called...
Aitrogenesis (clinician induced)
It kills more people a year than their diseases do according to queens hospital London surgeon general.
So glad you used intellect and got the information available to reverse your diabetes T2 as your HCAB1 is below seven nicely... So your not diabetic any longer and you kept your liver.
All with diet..
Well doneโ man, most are lead astray by the white jacket and credentials, yet doctors usually never reverse a single case of diabetes in their entire career.
So your clearly well smart to get rid of diabetes T2 so quickly.
Thanks for sharing, your a shining beacon to others.
Your family appriciated you keeping your liver and being healthy and alive I bet.... That's probably partly why you did it.
Good man good of you.
Sir itake fasting sixteen hours ifeel some palpitation gastric why
I went from 11.1 to 5.9 in a 3 month span all thanks to CZcams and Costco.
Thank you so much. You have shared a great deal of detailed information about diabetes, than my doctor has in 8 years. I recently changed doctors and I hope this one is a really good, caring doctor like you are. Where have you been all those years? You are an amazing doctor. I donโt usually post or comment but I just could no longer sit quietly. Thanks again!
We need someone like you in Ontario, not to face the patients but to monitor and guide practitioners.

What about for type 1 diabetes.??? My endocrinologist seems happy with 7 but I think itโs bad
The problem with the medical profession today, is they have too many patients to see in a day, probably one every 15 minutes, so they donโt have enough time to explain everything to you like a doctor on a CZcams video. Itโs cost prohibitive. My suggestion for doctors, is to have some type of a print-out for the condition the patient has, with his recommendations, so that they can read it on their own time and I have that I have a Doctor In the doctorโs office.
Love this channel. I was at 277 and now I am at 120. Took 30 days to lower glucose and freestyle Libre is the best tool for monitoring blood sugar! agoโฆchanging diet to keto works for me!

READ..I REVERSED MY TYPE 2 IN 3 MONTHS....Just a little story. Dr., I discovered your videos and have watched many of them. On April 11 I went to the hospital for a kidney stone. Had blood pressure readings of 220/115 and sugar level of 390. Obviously I was diagnosed with diabetes with an initial A1C of 12.6. Doctor put me on 500 mg metformin 2X a day, Rebelsus once in the morning and 30mg Pioglitazone once a day. In addition I did the following: a tbsp of Extra virgin olive oil EVERY morning (for 3 months), a glass of apple cider vinegar with water b4 every dinner (for the last 5 weeks b4 next A1C test), and 1 clove of garlic b4 bedtime (about 2 months b4 next test). Once again my initial A1C was 12.6 I just received my A1C result today (August 1) and it was down to 5.6-inside NORMAL levels. Thank you for your advice. People, it took me 3 months to get my A1C back to normal..Take these steps and it can happen to you too. Also, I consumed ZERO sugar during this entire time. Had Salmon twice a week, started eating scallops once a week and many chicken dishes with SUGAR FREE stir fry sauce. I even indulged in an Islands hamburger once a week for lunch (wheat bun and a side salad, NO FRIES). 1 to 2 pieces of fruit a day and 3 times a week i had greek yogurt with blueberries for breakfast...Switched out to sourdought bread as well. If I could do it, anybody can. Oh yeah, in 2020 i weighed 238 lbs. On April 11, at the hospital i weighed 209...Today I am down to about 188. My AVERAGE blood sugar count on my last test was 114

Drastically cut the sugar and carbs!
@@markferwerda7968 His A1C was 5.7 at his last doctors visit. We did NOT cut sugar and carbs. We kept track of his carbs and gave insulin as prescribed and he exercises and drinks lots of water which lowers his blood sugar.

Another great informative video. Where would we be without youtube.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate you. Please also consider sharing this content on social media.
Extremely useful info, lucidly explained
I was diagnosed as a diabetic last year with A1c 7.1 and I started low carb diet and now my A1c is 6 and lost 35 pound without taking any medicine also I walk daily about 10000 steps specially in the last 4 month
Wt is HBA1C when you start carbs again?
Good for you. Btw, an A1c if 7.1 is hardly severe.
I know itโs not that bad but I donโt want to getting worse than that specially when my doctor was pushing me to take medicine
Itโs always better to start as early as you can to save the harmful effect of sugar and carb
You need to eat fewer carbs; greatly reduce eating potatoes and rice, alcohol, candy. Your A1C should never be above 5.6.
I donโt even buy potato any more
No rice and I donโt drink just coffee and several tea with no sugar per day and when I have a desire for dessert I make my own recipe using almond flour and monk fruit sugar
I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at age of 26. Told I 'might' see my 35th birthday. I asked my PCP how aggressively we could treat my case. I'm 79 years old and since we began checking A1c several years ago, they have been between 6.o% and 6.6%. I have occasional low glucose readings once or twice a month. Overall, I believe I'm alive today because of having 6 meals a day with testing before each meal. Iโve discovered that metabolism changes throughout the day. I count carbs for each meal and calculate my Lispro dosage based on Carbs with a variable metabolism factor. I keep written records extensively, and am using a Dexcom G6 CGM. I also take 18 units of Lantis every 12 hours. Sort of like piloting a Jumbo Jet through a hurricane manually without instruments. However, taking the leadership of my medical team was, and is what has kept me going all this tme. When my time comes, I expect to die of old age. ๐
Why do you have to have 6 meals a day? Go down to three and maybe a LC snack.
@@200Nora 6 small meals with calculated Humalog dosage each time keeps my blood glucose levels in better range control. I've been a T1 diabetic from age 26. Currently I'm 80 years old. I've been counting carbs for the last several years and calculating HLG doses many more years. Also keeping my mind active makes family time very well done! Keep your chin up and have a great day! Oh, BTW my last A1C was 6.2
@@papatomthune4924 Ok, I forgot you are type 1. Yeah, do what works best for you and keep you in good shape.
@@papatomthune4924 I just tested 6. 6% on a blood test whr the diabetes threshold is 7%.
I only just tested the once. I'm not overweight and I lift heavy and do cardio.
Is 1 single test conclusive? Worried if it is prediabetes
This is the best exlpaination about A1c that I have had. I have been a type two diabetic now for 20 years and none of my Doctor's have given me an explanation as clear as this.

Watching from UK . I'm a type 2 diabetic for 22 years.. Relied on tablets and today I have realised that I'm obsessed with low blood sugar reading. According to my age it can be dangerous so from now on I will listen to Dr Ali's advise and and go for bit higher blood sugar and be relaxed about bit increased blood sugar .Although my GP was telling me to do the same .

When i was diagnosed my A1C was14. 18 months later with the help of trulicity , my cannondale, and the ton of eggs, chicken and pork souvlaki I eat eveyday, I lost 80lbs and brought the A1C to 5.4. And of course your videos

Thanks for your help now iFully understand the A1c and how it works and what i need to do to keep my blood sugar in control
Hi Dr., my brother recently passed away at 61 from sepsis due to toe wounds. He had an AKA amputation in March. He had liver failure, kidney failure and a CABG. He claimed his A1c was 4 to 5. I used to argue with him that he could have had high levels since A1c is an average. I wish I had seen this video and your service years ago. Thank you for helping those with this insidious disease.
I am wondering if itโs possible to have good control and still have complications? He didnโt know he had DM until a wound on his foot wouldnโt heal. Much gratitude

In August I left the hospital with a blood count of 17.8
Waking up every morning since then depressed anxiety I was so upset I wasn't even going to monitor my blood count
Had people come in to clean up my cupboard take whatever they want it now everything is clean and empty so after hundreds of dollars I bought nothing but the best foods diabetic foods I'm still depressed.
I excepted an invitation to go out for Thanksgiving I had nothing to say ate what I should've eaten And said my prayers before ate.
Knowing my sister is in on insulin she did my count was 6.8 I went out on the balcony and cried and cried couldn't believe what good food the right food has done for me now I am a 6.3 and doing okay and happy and no more crying thank you for helping me because I listen to you every day I finally got my own monitor finally,,!!
have a very nice evening and hugs to your family for me thanks again you're a pretty good Doctor ๐๐๐ผ๐บ
This was very educational thx. My highest A1C was 8 in July 2022. In October 2022 I was 7.6 and recently April 1st 7.3%. I lost 12 pounds this year and changed my diet to eliminate sugar and white starch and eating more vegetables. My doctor wants me at 7% but I do want to go down to 6%. I'm very overweight so I hope in time as I lose weight it will help my blood glucose. I also take 500MG of metformin. I was subscribed Ozempic but I did not pick up prescription. I can get down to 7% I'm so close.

Sugar MD well presented very informative I learned a lot
Only recently discovered you channel. Your presentations are outstanding.
Been T.1.D for over 25 years and am now 64.
In the early years 5,7 to 6,5 were fairly normal. Now at 64 it's a bit wild. The Dexcom G6 has been a fantastic game changer especially in the night. Didn't know how low I was getting.
I find discipline is the biggest thing that let's me down. I know the rules, but frequently break them. That's when yo-yo hell starts.
I know when I have got control I only have my self to blame.
Dispite 25 years, I am still learning lots from your channel. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Stay tune for more videos to learn more.

Sir, you have given sufficient light in this matter. It's always safe that our body doesn't go the stage of hypoglycemia. If so, a1c test even if it shows 6% is not safe. In diabetes, educating the patient is the most desirable steps. Very useful videos you are presenting. ๐
Omg! Best video on CZcams.
Thx for the good explanation. Have a great day.
My A1C had always been 6.0 or 6.1. I took 2 capsules of cinnamon in the morning and another two at night. Since that much cinnamon can damage the liver, I took the same dosage of milk thistle. Since our livers are assaulted by all kind of toxins, such as air pollution and many other things, everyone should take milk thistle. Anyway, I had a scheduled blood test 3 weeks later. It was 5.4. I reduced the dosages of both by half. Every test since then has remained around 5.2.
Which brand of Cinnamon capsule and which milk thistle did you take. Thanks in advance
Thanks.Very informative and easy to understand
You are welcome!

Doc
Thank you very much
Nice clear explanation
Of course , glad it was useful.we have so many more videos. Make sure to take full advantage of them.
very informative. thanks for sharing Dr. Ergin.
Thank you for the comment.
Doc good day. Im actually having stick testing every 6 in the morning. Last March it was still okay...the average was 6.25 by April I was notgiven anymore medication by my doctor. He told me to stop taking glicazlide because my kidney is getting worse. He prescribed insulin for me but with the instruction that I would monitor my blood sugar everyday. If it does not spike even without medication I would not buy the insulin. I noticed that my blood sugar is fluctuating. There are days that I got below 7 but now I got 7.25 average. Do I need an insulin? Without medication my blood sugar was only up to 7.5
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
Great post subscribed Thanks!
You can buy glucose monitors and strips without a Rx, so why do they require an Rx for a continuous monitor? I would love to see how my blood sugar trends. Thank you for a very informative video. I finally understand A1c
Respected Dear Dr. You are really great. No one can explain Hb A1C like you have done. The pros and cons?
May God bless you with very long life.
Pl keep up the good job.
I am also doing a lot of study and research on Diabetes?
But,they are all in Indian style.
Mostly Natural methods.
No chemical medicines?

Have been watching your videos voraciously and they have really helped my understanding of my Type 2. I had a diagnosis about 20 years ago when my A1C was around 7. Iโm 6โ4โ and weighed 210. I immediately lost 10 lbs and dropped my A1C to 5..7 . Over the last 10 years my A1C has averaged around 5, but my blood sugar when taken is rarely below 120. About 4 years ago, my endocrinologist prescribed Farciga on top of my Kombiglyze. I immediately dropped another 13 lbs. and now average around 174 lbs. My doc has been unable to understand how my A1C remains so low, but my blood sugar remains relatively high. They did hook me up to Libre for 2 weeks, but the results were inconclusive. They also ran a frucostamine as well, but that yielded no conclusions as well. I have neuropathy in my feet and very frequent urination, so I do have the symptoms of Type 2. Northern European ancestry, so no sickle cell in background. My doc remains stumped, but as my A1C is so reliably low, he seems unconcerned. I try to eat healthy, but I pretty much eat what I want, although in moderation, but I continue to lose weight. Two of my brothers and my father (96 years old), have type 2, but my brothers were both overweight. Any thoughts as I remain concerned. Again, thank you very much for your CZcams channel!

My A1c has been in the 5.2--5.8 range for the last five years. I watch the carbs and take two Metformin tablets every day. I am 77 years old and walk daily. Weight is 195 and i am 6' tall. BUT I do not do daily blood testing. This video makes me wonder if I am missing big fluctuations in my blood sugar.
Three months ago my A1c was in the high 14s today itโs 7.1!
Awesome! Good job!
Wow. Thatโs good. I have a friend that was hospitalized for that and I think his was in the 14โs. He was put on life support. Glad you are doing better now!
Great job!
@@ameeromedia5883 a friend of mine had A1Cโs of 14 .5 and 15 , I asked my doctor about this , his response was โ does he know an undertaker ? He went comatose and passed ,
Still too high at 7.1; that is a slower death than 8, but still bad! Cut the carbs even further!
Thank you Dr. Very valuable info. Just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Great Info and educational.
I am 75 and brought my a1c down 10.4 to 6 in 4 months with diet and walking. This video made me feel better since my doctor is fanatic about 5.5 a1c and Metforman.
Still on metformin?
I have b 12 deficiency(pernicious anemia) and was never told by dr. that this would interfere with my A1C lab test. I live in Canada so the measurement is different. My highest a1c was 6.1 now it is 5.5 been on keto, no sugar, no unhealthy fats and no grains lots of vegies berries 3x per week and medium fat and protein. lost 50 lbs feel great A1C down, Triglycerides low. Thank you for telling us about how B12 deficieny can alter testing. I feel great. I didn't want to become diabetic hence the keto diet.
@ Karin Valeri , so your HbAIC is now 5.5%. Is your anemic now under control? Sound like you are doing well. New diabetic of two years with HBA1c now 5.7% , yeah you do want to be active to prevent being become diabetic . Keep up you good work.
Karen Valeri, how are your cholesterol tests. Is that ok too? Did it go up or down on Keto?
โ@@trudyd.4169 +qq+
Hi Karen, doc wants to start me out with one shot a week since my a1c is 8.4 any suggestions would be appreciated ty
Thank you so much for your videos. I've learned a lot. I'm learning to control my sugar without meds. I had a sugar level of 233 in April. Now it's gone down to 138 150,144,167,139. So I'm seeing a difference. My diet has changed and. Moving more and exercising. Thank you so much. My clorestoral was high so I'm working on that too. It's overwhelming. You have helped so much.

Smart doctor. I love your videos.
Thank you for this video. At HbA1c of 5.7% and I take Metformin ER 1000mg . Morning blood sugar can be 120-140 mg/dL, and lower during the day. Rarely over 140mg/dL after a meal. So my doctors say this is under good control. Your video confirmed this and I feel better by hearing thiis. Again thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you for watching and sharing.
A1C of 5.7 is prediabetic. You want it lower. โ Test Results
Oct 27, 2022 ยท The range for a diagnosis of prediabetes is an A1C of 5.7% to 6.4%. In general, prediabetes precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle adjustments include weight management, getting adequate physical exercise, and following a diet plan that moderates the type and timing of sugar and carbohydrates.
Diabetes: 6.5% and over
Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%โ
Thanks Dr, my A1c dropped from 8-4, and my FBG between 9 and 7 mmols/L. Is the A1c too low. I am not on any meds
You should strive getting your fasting blood sugar somewhere between 4-6 mmols/L. 9 mmols/L is much too high. A HA1c betwen 4.5 - 6% is considered good. Both numbers are in the range of healthy persons. Look at your diet, your weight, your workout regiment and complement with medicines if necessary. Don't give up.
Thank you very much doctor for the clear information about A1c. God bless you.
Thank you! Great info! Wish you were in the area so I can be a patient.
