Good video Tyler. As you know, Broccoli, cucumber, salad do have carbs. You are discovering the power of low-carb, and that's great. However, you do need some insulin for proper body function. Even good carbs and protein are going to elevate blood sugar. Please, please get continue to eat low-carb, and use some insulin to keep that blood sugar under 150 after meals!!! 200 is bad!
KenDBerryMD our 16 year old son is type 1 diabetic and is in his honeymoon stage.. he is doing very low carb diet and little to no insulin for the past two weeks. The highest his blood sugar has gotten is like 180 after eating 30 carbs which isn’t normal for us. Usually he does omad and only eats around 10-20 carbs a day. His blood sugar is staying in line perfect to where it needs to be all day even in the mornings. Is this a safe process for him to continue?
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 34 years with an onset at age 19. Since I went clean Keto, my blood sugars have been near non-diabetic levels and my insulin requirements are down substantially. I also entered into the Keto way of eating after a 3 day fast, which I think is key to get rid of all the stored sugar in your liver and muscles so you can begin burning fat as a fuel source. As I look at your plate of bacon and eggs (one of my personal favorites), you're eating too much protein. Protein does convert to carb, but a a very slow rate so it takes longer to realize the spike. Eat one meal a day and eat more HEALTHY fats, which have almost no BS impact. Good luck!!!!
@@domisualk6122 is it necessary to take long term insulin (toujeo) when sb is on ketogenic diet, not eating carbs at all? (no bread, pasta, flour etc) should sb reduce the insulin gradually or not?
When your body is used to having carb-heavy meals and you suddenly take away all the carbs, your body thinks your food sources are insufficient and kicks stored glucose into your system to keep your blood levels up. You need to adjust your endocrine system. You also had lots of protein with not enough fats to level it out. Protein converts to carbs several hours after eating and spikes you. (I've had T1D for 12 years and have used variations of low carb diets.)
Good that you're experimenting at such age. I do 3 days every other week eating only salads and nuts. I go about it with zero rapid acting insulin but I just keep keep taking my basal lantus yet diem from 28 to 22-24 units and it's such a joy seeing steady blood glucose without the stress of predicting carbs intake and working out how much insulin needed to counter it
Hi honey! As a type one we need to take insulin to keep our blood sugar under 150 unless it’s going to drop naturally from activity. So it’s important to plan for correction carbs & insulin adjustments around your own schedule. A type one diabetic cannot remove insulin completely through diet change like a type 2 diabetic can. Great job on the low carb! Eggs are 1 carb each and those calculations are great to learn about. You will not need much insulin with lower carb or no carb, but you will find what works best for you through practice and experience. Watch out for opinion and the old style of diabetic advice. The high carbs are not mandatory so meat and eggs are great for health. Doctors and dieticians are catching up but it’s taking a bit of time for everyone to catch on to things like gluconeogenesis and hope the body runs more efficiently on fat and nutritional ketones. The type one community as well as society in general can get a little fear based with the past forty years of teachings on fat, cholesterol, vegetables and so on. Just use your cgm and how you feel to calculate what is going in there and hopefully a low carb doctor can join you in the ongoing education of life. ❤ You’re already ahead of most! I’ll include an interview that helps with understanding this a bit better as I’m not equipped to teach. But leaning about it sure is interesting. Stay curious honey!
Interesting experiment. Thanks. Your body can convert small amounts of protein and fat directly into glucose. Plus your body needs insulin in order to use the glucose produced 24/7 by your liver. A type 1 can never stop injecting insulin. It would be good to explain to people that you were injecting long-term insulin and when you said "no insulin" you meant no meal-time or bolus insulin. Cheers!
I’ve been type 1 diabetic since 2004 and have always been told to pair a background rate of insulin with a balanced diet that of itself also requires insulin. The only time it would work to stop insulin delivery without severely detrimental outcomes would be during vigorous exercise such as running or cycling as this will pull your blood sugar down with minimal residual insulin in your system
I hope you start giving your insulin. I've been a type 1 diabetic for 50 yrs and have done a lot of experimenting with different diets. I agree eating a low carb diet is good but you're not eating a 0 carb diet. I'm on the carnivore diet myself and believe it's best despite of what my doctors and nutritionists say. An endocrinologist taught me a long time ago that 60% of the ounces in protein that you eat equals the amount of carbs you would be eating. Example: a 30oz steak time 60% equals 18 carbs. Depending on your body, (EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT), you would give the appropriate amount of insulin for 18 carbs. 3 large boiled eggs is 18 grams of protein which would be 10.8 grams of carbs. I'm in my 60's and it takes more insulin because I'm pretty sedentary. You would probably burn much more calories than I. Do some experimenting but don't go running around with high blood sugars and not giving any insulin, PLEASE! I commend you though for thinking outside the box. Good luck!!
Really interested in this 60% rule! Don't worry, I'm usually in the low 100s daily, but for some reason, my blood sugar started in the 200s and didn't recover. What's your A1C??
Hi@@TylerSpeers! I learned the 60% rule in the 90s from an Endocrinologist. Everybody is different though, you might need a different rule. If your BG is running in the los 100s you're doing great! That's where mine are. I'm shooting to get my A!C into the mid 5 range but they're hanging around the low 6 range right now. I recently started using a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). if you're not familiar with them you might check them out. You can watch your blood sugars all day long. I set the alarm on it if my BG runs below 80 or above 180. This helps a lot especially when you're sleeping. You can use these also to adjust how much insulin certain foods need by watching the CGM like a hawk.
Hi! In my opinion the method it helped me to keep blood sugar good in the morning is skipping the breakfast: stop having breakfast in the morning! and eat later. That is called "interval fasting" and is working really good for me as a diabetic type 1 like you. In the morning your liver is puting some glucose in the blood to make you wake up and to "start" the day. That is because hormones such as glucagon, cortisol or adrenaline go high in the morning and produce this reaction in your body (blood sugar going up!). If you have breakfast, even without carbohydrates or low carb, that is not going to help recover from high blood sugar. So when you wake up and your blood sugar is too high, correct it with some Bolus insulin and skip breakfast! Then when your body doesn't have this stress anymore from high blood sugar, you can have some low carb meal at noon or (better) later (at 1 pm, 2pm...).Maybe you think "I can't stand it without breakfast". I thought it as well... BUT! YOU'LL GET USED TO IT VERY SOOON! Eating keto (no carbs or very low, healthy fats and a bit of protein) and doing interval fasting at the same time are the key to not get hungry! you won't ! because the fat is going to keep you fulled / satiated. The carbohydrates are the BIG problem for diabetics type 1, your blood sugar goes up so fast like in a roll coaster and then goes down fast! hipoglucemia (low blood sugar) happens really often, then you eat because you want to solve the hipoglucemia and then blood sugar goes up really fast! and it is like a circle without any end... you will stop this problem by doing keto diet (low carb or no carb) + interval fasting. Just try for some time and make a video! ;) Ah! Please try to keep your sugar under 200 ... that's too high, just correct it with some bolus... but don't let it go down by "itself"... just inject some bolus. I know doctors say that after eating having blood sugar value of 200 or higher is "normal", but it is NOT!! that's destroying your organs, body nerves, ... and of course! don't forget to inyect Basal insulin, you need it although you are not eating anything! but you'll probably going to need less if you start doing keto + interval fasting. Good luck!
Thanks for the that comment but how many carbs are low carb per meal or per day all together can one eat to keep things great when doing low carb? Thanks
@@TylerSpeers What you need to understand is the difference between long lasting insulin and regular insulin is.... that's right nothing. They are the same insulin. Something like lantus is engineered to release slowly into the blood stream. Hypothetically if you were really poor and could only afford the more expensive lantus, you could survive on it alone but with poor control. Speaking of poor control, your breakfast BG was 220 and you are underweight. I hope you read this and switch to an insulin pump as soon as possible and stop destroying your eyes.
@@mad0uche You need to re-calculate your Lantus dosage so that you are between 70-120 all day while fasting. That is the purpose of basal. Even if I fast, I still take 2u of Humalogl to counter the dawn phenom or else it will rise 20mg in 10 minutes. Somedays if I wake up at 75mg and after a shower, it will be 120mg if I don't take 2u of Humalog. Please read Dr. Bernstein's Diabetic Solution or watch his videos.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for reversing diabetes without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin at last got amazing success with it.
Cheers for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for reversing diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker after many years got amazing success with it.
Just watching this makes me feel gross thinking how I feel with no insulin for extended periods of time... even when I don’t eat food and don’t have insulin, I really feel it
I have been in the hosital 4 times because of not taking insulin and u usually start feeling bad after the 3rd day...I had been without insulin for over a week
Exactly! If my daughter doesn't have insulin for 3 hours (basal ) she will have high ketones and start dka! Miss information can kill people t1ds need insulin every threw hours or a long lasting whether or not they eat. Im glad I saw your comment. I cant even watch this without becoming enraged
@@konstantinosstamataros9339 damn, I’m looking for videos to help me with a diet cause I’m getting leg pain after not knowing i had diabetes for 5 months☠️ the cramps were horrible i would get them everyday 😭
@@notblxck8751 thats when I started getting tired all the time and I ended up in the hospital...u can face it by yourself as Im doing now but its difficult if ure smoking and I quitted it
@@gollygoshh7387 I'm certain he has all of that tested for. You can home test for it. Stop trying to throw shade on a video meant to show options to others.
@@TylerSpeers Then correct, bring your bg back to normal run the experiment another day. Also, title is misleading. It says zero insulin not zero bolis insulin.
Great vid, recommend adjusting your levels first thing in the morning to something in the normal range so your not floating above 200 + all day , once there continue with the no carbs. This has worked for me.
I shared t.co/mKpzg34keZ to Type 2 diabetes patients. The person has been able to cure his diabetic issues and achieved a 5.9 HA1c. The health of the other person has considerably enhanced. His fasting blood glucose was decrease to 110mg/dL and he is no longer susceptible to heart trauma, losing his legs and arms, and also eye impairment and neuropathy
You need bolus insulin for protein.. misinformation at its highest form!!! Maybe if you want to be in hyperglycemia, but for the normal non diabetic range that's impossible.
As a diabetic type 1, i once decided i want to see how much glucose has my body stored/ can produce while fasting. Long story short, I fasted for 5 days, my body had enough glucose to cover me for 4. 5th day was a little rough cuz i was borderline on hypoglycemia. But i also felt great and had lots of energy
That dawn phenomenon is no joke. I am extremely tight on my keto diet. I almost lean a bit closer to carnivore but still try to get those micronutrients (cauliflower/broccoli). I can attest to much of this as I even fast 18 hours per day (only eat between 3pm and 9pm). So... I go to bed between 80-95 most nights. Wake up - 170-190. I usually drop in a fast acting upon waking (5-8 units) and it comes back down after a bit. My keto meals still require 3-5 units. When I don't, my BG will go up to 150-180 after a couple hours. The real takeaway here is that us T1Ds can drastically reduce our insulin needs and maintain healthy levels. AND healthy bodyfat percentages (more insulin = more fat gain). This week I plan on starting a split on the lantus (basal) and see if that works. I have only hesitated because I know it means that I will have to go through an adjustment period. Either way... Thanks for posting this. I hope it helps a lot of other T1Ds out there to at least see that there are options available that may help maintain better control with less insulin needed.
This is really the way to do it. So many in here are walking around with 200+ bg and thinking this won't effect them. All of us are so wedded to carb intake as a path to happiness. Of course people are different and it's possible some wouldn't have the fabulous results you have, but I've seen them giving t1d jello in the hospital so it's no wonder people are confused.
Actually. Did you know that fats and protein will raise your BGs? So it makes sense you went up after breakfast and dinner. Some people take the same ratio for the profiles and some people half it. It all depends on how your body reacts!
Tyler you seem like a genuine person to me. I hope you find the courage to change the title of this video to more accurately reflect the reality of living with type one diabetes. Underlying anatomical and physiological principles will persist no matter how positive and thoughtful your message is I hope you are well.
I really hope you start taking your insulin like you should. If you let your blood sugars stay in the 200s or higher for long period of time problems can happen. I know for a fact as I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 19 years and I am now blind due to stuff like this
Remember to up your fats, and keep your proteins at a low moderate. To much proteins will cause your liver to convert the protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, hence you won't get fat adapted (which is the entire goal of a keto diet). Only when your liver is starved with glucose, your body will start burning fat cells (ketones) as fuel. As far as your meals go, it's pretty much the same message again. You need more fat! Your breakfast is the best one, although you could up your fats even more by adding some butter to your eggs. Remember that the fat renders from bacon as you cook it, which makes it basically all proteins. You could also try removing some of the egg whites as it contains no fats at all. Lunch is basically carbs and proteins, as again the fat renders from the bacon. (not saying there is a lot of carbs, but compared to the amount of fat in that meal it's too much) Dinner is the same story. Not trying to be unnecessarily critical, but a high fat content is paramount to this diet working for you. Wish you the best!!
Hi Tyler. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I am not type one so please excuse if this is obvious. Do you take a long-acting insulin daily regardless of what you have at your meals? Thank you!
@@TylerSpeers wow. That was a fast answer! Okay thank you. I'm trying to get up to speed. I have several friends that are type 1 and my daughter's sister-in-law's two-year-old son looks like he is getting ready to be diagnosed. Thank you for the information!
I recommend looking at Dr. Richard Bernstein's method. Bottom line - protein should be covered by Regular insulin, which is slower than Rapid insulin (given that the meal has a bit of s/low carb - veggies). And if the Basal is split into 2 doses, you can also tackle the dawn phenomena. Dr. Bernstein truly hits the nail on the head.
I am a great fan of Bernstein's work but as with anything in type 1 it has to be personalized and we have lost sight of this in type 1 & this is worrying. Whatever brings a type 1 into excellent control should be what they do not following any diet or approach without question. I use his approach as a framework and he also in his own way advocates this which is why i respect him. There are those who will do what he suggests even if it doesn't work but don't sway from his 'diet'. Type 1 is like a new discovery everyday-eat a specific food and test what happens and then make your decision to eat it or not based on what happens. I have some very wacky ones such as I can drink milk but cant eat natural yogurt -in theory this shouldn't be the case but I have always said type 1 and theory aren't the best of buddies lol. Hope you continue to do well using this approach and stay well in the future. best wishes
Hi Tyler - I used to have blood sugar that was extremely difficult to control. In fact when I first started on my CGM in 2008, I was only on track 15% of the time. Now with a no carb diet and the 780G by Medtronic, my blood sugar is 100% on track most days. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it. I take 2 units for carb free meals, because I would still have high blood sugar otherwise (unless I'm being super active). I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 9, and now I'm 40 years old. :-) The new algorithm that Medtronic has just come up with is the only thing that has ever worked for me. The 770G pump is not even comparable. Best wishes...
Your liver produces some glucose though, that’s why there is basal insulin. Maybe your body takes care of it from leftover cells. Just so you know in case of anything in future
The body is still using up it’s glycogen stores on the first day isnit it? It is possible that a type 1 diabetic can keep going with this and get into ketosis or is that not possible without insulin? If someone is running on ketones instead of glycogen do they need insulin? Sorry I’m ignorant on this subject also is ketosis dangerous with diabetes.
he needs to go all in. No vegetables, just meat. He has to understand it is an autoimmune disease, also it seems like he is in the partial or honeymoon phase, his pancreas can produce "some" or little amount of insulin....
Yes but after this your body is still in ketosis(burning fat for fuel/bodyfat/nutrition fat, which we never runs out of, now compare that to carbs then you know carbs is bad.) So the raise in insulin for meat is so much benefits Vs carbs. Good luck
@@CaitlinJHall really? What is the chemical process of protein to sugar? if this is the case then protein should be reduced as well to most of the diet being animal fat.
@@theloreaxe no. I don't know where did you get that information from? 😅 the American heart association? I'm a type one diabetic, I've been eating a ketogenic mostly carnivore diet. And I have been eating this way for over 15months. My triglycerides are very good 38. Good HDL and LDL are great. My A1C is 5.1 %. My blood sugar levels are between 80 to the 90's... I would recommend you look a little more into it and don't believe in what these organizations tell you. You will ended up sicker or fatter.
@@gallettiguitartones Agreed! My cholesterol got completely fixed when I removed sugar and starch products from my diet. Every blood test improved eating keto. I'm not hungry, it all tastes delicious. I am not 100% reliant on medication and my weight gradually decreased. I have maintained muscle mass and have more energy. Some people just need to accept that they have gotten brainwashed into thinking something about health, rather than just trying something different. Btw, I have been eating no carb for nearly 2 years so...
I did alternate day fasting as a type 1 diabetic. With the freestyle libre to monitor my levels. Ive never had such level Bloodsugar levels in my life, but i would very slowly trend upwards. Not sure if that was due to my long lasting wearing off or not. Cool video though man! Skol Wolves!
Hey Tyler , its Roberto from Miami , i am also a t1 d and wanted to know what for portion sizes do you eat with your t1d ? Btw , I am 53 years old , hard working guy and dude my sugar is high no matter what even from just breathing the air LOL . Thanks
SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As someone diagnosed with type 1 a month ago. I have so many theories and you just demonstrated one of the biggest ones for me. If insulin cancels out carbs - what if you just cut them both out. Obviously just curious as to what happens, anyone reading….DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT STOP TAKING INSULIN IF YOU ARE INSULIN DEPENDENT AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! My Blood sugar is 432mg/dl as i write this
This is inspiring but as an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic I think I'll keep taking my insulin since my pancreas is basically dead and won't produce shit no more lmao. I'd say use this experiment to more teach other diabetics to be healthier in general and make it so they don't require insulin as much but to stop all together can have serious side effects,especially in my case. I'd say follow everything you said here but still monitor and take insulin to anyone else reading this. Your video brings me much positivity,I'm glad there's channel's like this out there.
A Brisk 1 and 1/2 Mile Walk will lower a blood sugar 75 to a hundred points and would have been ideal after that breakfast. I sometimes have had twice the amount of bacon as well as a couple cups of Starbucks and three eggs and then walked a mile and a half to 2 mi and get home to check my blood sugar and find that it has dropped 75 to a hundred points. This is just food for thought no pun intended😉 -type 1 since 1990.
I like how whenever i say i can’t eat shit my friends say “just don’t eat carbs it’s not that hard” like bruh do you not understand carbs are in literally EVERYTHING. The cluelessness man.
Have you tried a trawler vegan diet, cause I tried that and my sugars remains constant and I don’t eat carbs but high fat which comes from nuts and avocados
We need more info of what you did during the day. Its more than just food. Stress, athletics, etc. Keep doing this for two weeks for a true experiment. A slow walk usually brings it down.
ive been doing a low carb diet for around six months (as a diabetic) and i found it really effective. i would recomend going on an aip diet first because that regulated my sugars between 3-8 mmol. after that i went on the low carb one and i have completely stopped insulin.
How many carbs are you eating then to even stop taking ur insulin? Like many carbs per meal or per day all together when doing low carb? And can you have fatty meats or lean meat only? Thanks
@@Jb-ky1ri Well i have under 10 carbs per meal and i eat fatty meats and lean meats too. Just as long as i dont have too much protein my sugar doesnt go up
The thing is in a normal day as a diabetic your getting excersize and that will bring your sugar down so there’s to many factors that you didn’t include that would make an interesting experiment
I've had diabetes for 25 years and was diagnosed as a type 2 so I went low carb diet with good results and great sugars just to be hospitalized for diabetic ketosis. That's how I found out I was really a type 1 diabetic. You just have to be really careful with these experiments. The glucose meter isn't telling you everything you need to know.
Sounds like you have LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) otherwise known as type 1.5. I am in the same boat. Diagnosed with type 2 but I eventually stopped responding/had bad reactions to oral meds and non-insulin injectables. I am now dependent on insulin. Of course my Dr and I have found out that I am manufacturer and type specific for Novolin 70/30. All other insulin doesn't work as well or I react to them.
@@jonchapman6821 Lol, I left the same comment. This is why people are afraid of a ketogenic protocol. Even diabetics often don't know the difference, which means their doctors aren't educating themselves and their patients.
T1D for 16 years. Even if you eat no carbs, your body still needs insulin. There's a thing called a basal rate. It's where you get a certain amount of insulin given in very small doses throughout the day for pumps, or taken in one shot on long acting insulin. It helps keep your blood sugar from going up since anything and everything can effect it
Okay so, your theorie that you don't need insulin when you don't eat carbs is obv. not true. You need your basal insulin no matter how many carbs you eat. You know, fat and protein also increase your blood sugar levels but not as much as carbs do. when you eat 0 carbs for a longer period, you probably need to decrease your basal insulin because your insulin sensitivity changes.
Type 2 diabetes is remittable with a strict ketogenic diet ...about 3 months on carnivore puts type 2 into remission .Type 1 can be put about 80% into remission ,on a strict keto diet .
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "diet quality and diabetes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Deyophia Vanackenzie Remedy - (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Great video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (google it)?

I have a question and I wish there is someone to answer it So basically I have diabetes and I am 16 years old and I am actually little skinny how can I get weight and get little bigger And some informations ( I weight 58kg=128Ib and my hemoglobin test was 10)
Blood sugars will stay steady but if its steadily over 200 that’s not really good. Even when I do not eat carbs I still have to take a couple units of insulin to insure that my sugars move in the right direction.
You should not eat anything before bed just a little bit milk just to feel fuller.and skip breakfast and have it for lunch.that way you will eventually have lowerwaking levels.add warm water before amd after meals
@@TylerSpeers use a standing order before bed and reduce as you go off the carbs.from seing those numbers i would suggest starting 10 units humilin N and 6 regular before bed.make sure to drink alot of water and incorporate FULL body workout to deplete maximum amount of sugars in as many muscle groups as possible.concentrate on hydration and bloodflow before breakfast and have the jog before or after dinner
That much amount of blood sugar in your blood will start to damage the body tissues. Only taking lomg acting insulin won't help you. Long acting insulin like lantus doesn't drop your blood sugar like regular insulin. Lantus simply works by stopping your liver or fat storage to release glucose in your blood.
Protein raises insulin and once you are fat adapted, fats raise insulin as well. I’m finding that the only way to help my metabolism is with a 6:18 intermittent fasting schedule.
Even though you're not eating foods with carbs think, you're liver still gives your body sugar to help with energy. So not taking insulin won't last for long.
Interesting experiment. Do you think you have some "honeymoon" beta cell function after 4 years, since you stayed relatively stable? Glad you mentioned that people need to at least take their long-acting basal. And that's definitely true if you are doing lower carb long term. Protein raises my glucose like around 3 hours later, and veggies are usually raising within about 45 minutes. I just try to avoid all of the other carbs. And if I'm up over 115, I take some more basal and also do exercises till it drops down. Basal takes about 4 hours to kick in, but exercise -- specifically muscle-contracting exercises can lower glucose regardless of insulin; and muscle contractions combined with adequate insulin is like a multiplying factor. Science.
Sometimes it is so strange how it all works. I think I'm past the honeymoon period, but my blood sugar can remain pretty constant since I run many miles each day. Exercise really is great for keeping constant or at least stable sugars!
Love the concept of this video. But... I'm a mom, and those BG numbers made me cringe every time I saw them. Why did you not take a correction before you started the day?? My 15yo T1D, stays super stable without bolus insulin when he keeps his carbs low, so I love the message you are spreading!
T1d here, fats and protein both metabolize into glucose eventually. With fat I generally use a 1/2 bolus extended over 2 hours starting 1 hour after consumption for fats. With fast absorbing protein like whey it is a 1/2 bolus of the protein amount the same time I would bolus for carbs. For something lean like chicken it leans more to 1/3 bolus over an hour after an hour. I use a omnipod, dexcom, and reily link loop, last a1c was 5.8.
I don’t really recommend doing this yeah once in awhile won’t hurt but you can try and cut down to maybe 75 to 80 carbs a meal also cutting out breads will help lower carbs too
I think you need to commit to absolutely no carbs. You're not quite doing zero carb... I would literally just eat grass-fed beef and liver and water for a day while monitoring blood sugar and see what happens. Also try a day of fasting and examine how the blood sugar changes.
When i get caught with no insulin, like lets say at work, ( I do MDI) I will use water to drop my blood sugar if i allow it to go to high. A good 3 water bottles of water can drop it 100 points for me.
I'm sure your intention was good but your title is misleading saying you took no insulin. You only mention it very quickly at the end that you did in fact take Basel insulin in the background. I've t1 30 years and a 10yr old with t1 and these kind of videos worry me as a mother that they may be seen by young or people with little tyoe 1 diabetes education and they would end up in ketoacidosis 😢
I eat that breakfast every single day with an avocado. As for lunch a regular salad (lettuce, spinach, onion, tomato, cucumber with oregano and black pepper with olive oil and white wine vinegar.) Sometimes I have my salad with boar's head turkey and white American cheese. I don't eat anything for dinner. It's worked for me. Still have to take my shots though so that sucks.
I'm a TD1, I still take 3u for 2 eggs, 2 sausage & 1/4 avocado breakfast- essentially zero carbs. That is why carb counting does not work for a Type 1.
thanks for this video bro, I have tried this for 20 days eating only salad coz I am from a Vegfamily and at the end of 20th day I was at my death, barely survived.
be careful man, consistently being at 200 or 250 blood sugar is hard on your heart and kidneys, you legit have continous dangerously high blood pressure in the 150's or 160's with blood sugar this high .... have you kept going no on short term insulin and is your blood sugar down to the 100's range now?
I've been experimenting with low carb meals recently. Low carb has never worked for me before, but I am trying to reduce. I find when I do a fully no-carb meal, my blood sugar goes much higher. If I eat around 15 crams of carbs per meal, it stays much steadier.
You gave to eat fats! Protein and lots of good fats! And no, I'm not diabetic, I'm epileptic. I'm just saying. Make sure you're getting your fats in. They're so important.
You were probably only barely able to "pass" that test because you had only had type 1 for 4 years. You probably still produce a bit of your own insulin still. I've had it for 16 years now and eat low carb (max 30 grams a day), but my blood sugar starts rising only 30 minutes after not getting any insulin from my pump (I only use fast acting Fiasp) during fasting. Insulin has a counter-regulatory effect to the release of glucagon, which makes the body stop producing glucose from glycogen. That means without insulin, you will go into a negative feedback loop, where low insulin makes your body release more sugar from its stores, which blunts the effect of the little insulin you have, causing more sugar to be released and so on. You will die without insulin, so please don't try this. Also, that is extremely high blood sugar you had throughout the day - it will make you dehydrated, which is a serious complication of high blood sugars.
You probably could of had better control if you bolus about 1 unit In the morning of fast acting insulin however this was a very interesting experiment 😊
Protein ( your bacon) has a glycemic index. So there is a sugar being metabolized. I dont eat carbs well almost none yes my sugar is way better but you still need somthing to burn so you don't go into ketosis
10g of protein act like 6g of carbs. The ratio is 60%. But obviously the protein is a lot slower to break down than carbs. So in reality you could get away with using just using basal insulin. 220 and 265 are too high! Anything over 180 is certainly not good.
Good video Tyler. As you know, Broccoli, cucumber, salad do have carbs. You are discovering the power of low-carb, and that's great. However, you do need some insulin for proper body function. Even good carbs and protein are going to elevate blood sugar. Please, please get continue to eat low-carb, and use some insulin to keep that blood sugar under 150 after meals!!! 200 is bad!
KenDBerryMD our 16 year old son is type 1 diabetic and is in his honeymoon stage.. he is doing very low carb diet and little to no insulin for the past two weeks. The highest his blood sugar has gotten is like 180 after eating 30 carbs which isn’t normal for us. Usually he does omad and only eats around 10-20 carbs a day. His blood sugar is staying in line perfect to where it needs to be all day even in the mornings. Is this a safe process for him to continue?

Any update?
@@anniealbertson4081 Any update on your son, I am 16 myself and recently diagnosed.
@@anniealbertson4081 No usually someone especially a kid needs around 60 since food turns into energy not eating food without enough carbs is bad.
I have been a type 1 diabetic for 34 years with an onset at age 19. Since I went clean Keto, my blood sugars have been near non-diabetic levels and my insulin requirements are down substantially. I also entered into the Keto way of eating after a 3 day fast, which I think is key to get rid of all the stored sugar in your liver and muscles so you can begin burning fat as a fuel source. As I look at your plate of bacon and eggs (one of my personal favorites), you're eating too much protein. Protein does convert to carb, but a a very slow rate so it takes longer to realize the spike. Eat one meal a day and eat more HEALTHY fats, which have almost no BS impact. Good luck!!!!
Fellow T1D, I use a pump and as long as I eat low carb I don’t bolus at all through the day and the sugar stays pretty steady! Nice video
Toujeo asparta Insulin keeps your Basal steady just like a pump.
that’s what i’m doing
@@domisualk6122 is it necessary to take long term insulin (toujeo) when sb is on ketogenic diet, not eating carbs at all? (no bread, pasta, flour etc) should sb reduce the insulin gradually or not?
Do you get keytones?
T1d1 is good tho
When your body is used to having carb-heavy meals and you suddenly take away all the carbs, your body thinks your food sources are insufficient and kicks stored glucose into your system to keep your blood levels up. You need to adjust your endocrine system. You also had lots of protein with not enough fats to level it out. Protein converts to carbs several hours after eating and spikes you.
(I've had T1D for 12 years and have used variations of low carb diets.)
Good that you're experimenting at such age. I do 3 days every other week eating only salads and nuts. I go about it with zero rapid acting insulin but I just keep keep taking my basal lantus yet diem from 28 to 22-24 units and it's such a joy seeing steady blood glucose without the stress of predicting carbs intake and working out how much insulin needed to counter it
That's excellent. I'm happy for you that you've found a way to be healthier.
How's that going now? I hope it's going well
How you doing now?
Hi honey! As a type one we need to take insulin to keep our blood sugar under 150 unless it’s going to drop naturally from activity. So it’s important to plan for correction carbs & insulin adjustments around your own schedule.
A type one diabetic cannot remove insulin completely through diet change like a type 2 diabetic can.
Great job on the low carb! Eggs are 1 carb each and those calculations are great to learn about. You will not need much insulin with lower carb or no carb, but you will find what works best for you through practice and experience.
Watch out for opinion and the old style of diabetic advice. The high carbs are not mandatory so meat and eggs are great for health. Doctors and dieticians are catching up but it’s taking a bit of time for everyone to catch on to things like gluconeogenesis and hope the body runs more efficiently on fat and nutritional ketones. The type one community as well as society in general can get a little fear based with the past forty years of teachings on fat, cholesterol, vegetables and so on.
Just use your cgm and how you feel to calculate what is going in there and hopefully a low carb doctor can join you in the ongoing education of life. ❤
You’re already ahead of most! I’ll include an interview that helps with understanding this a bit better as I’m not equipped to teach. But leaning about it sure is interesting. Stay curious honey!
Esos médicos y nutricionistas cobran demasiado caro , un pobre infeliz no puede pagarlo ,
Interesting experiment. Thanks. Your body can convert small amounts of protein and fat directly into glucose. Plus your body needs insulin in order to use the glucose produced 24/7 by your liver. A type 1 can never stop injecting insulin. It would be good to explain to people that you were injecting long-term insulin and when you said "no insulin" you meant no meal-time or bolus insulin. Cheers!
I’ve been type 1 diabetic since 2004 and have always been told to pair a background rate of insulin with a balanced diet that of itself also requires insulin. The only time it would work to stop insulin delivery without severely detrimental outcomes would be during vigorous exercise such as running or cycling as this will pull your blood sugar down with minimal residual insulin in your system
I hope you start giving your insulin. I've been a type 1 diabetic for 50 yrs and have done a lot of experimenting with different diets. I agree eating a low carb diet is good but you're not eating a 0 carb diet. I'm on the carnivore diet myself and believe it's best despite of what my doctors and nutritionists say. An endocrinologist taught me a long time ago that 60% of the ounces in protein that you eat equals the amount of carbs you would be eating. Example: a 30oz steak time 60% equals 18 carbs. Depending on your body, (EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT), you would give the appropriate amount of insulin for 18 carbs. 3 large boiled eggs is 18 grams of protein which would be 10.8 grams of carbs. I'm in my 60's and it takes more insulin because I'm pretty sedentary. You would probably burn much more calories than I. Do some experimenting but don't go running around with high blood sugars and not giving any insulin, PLEASE! I commend you though for thinking outside the box. Good luck!!
Really interested in this 60% rule! Don't worry, I'm usually in the low 100s daily, but for some reason, my blood sugar started in the 200s and didn't recover. What's your A1C??
Hi@@TylerSpeers! I learned the 60% rule in the 90s from an Endocrinologist. Everybody is different though, you might need a different rule. If your BG is running in the los 100s you're doing great! That's where mine are. I'm shooting to get my A!C into the mid 5 range but they're hanging around the low 6 range right now. I recently started using a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). if you're not familiar with them you might check them out. You can watch your blood sugars all day long. I set the alarm on it if my BG runs below 80 or above 180. This helps a lot especially when you're sleeping. You can use these also to adjust how much insulin certain foods need by watching the CGM like a hawk.
Oh, btw. Check out this guys stuff. ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dr+berstein+on+type+1+diabetes
The CGM is absolutely amazing! Really helps let you see what makes your numbers trend where. Especially useful for lows at night, like you said!
@@TylerSpeers You got it!!
Hi!
In my opinion the method it helped me to keep blood sugar good in the morning is skipping the breakfast: stop having breakfast in the morning! and eat later. That is called "interval fasting" and is working really good for me as a diabetic type 1 like you. In the morning your liver is puting some glucose in the blood to make you wake up and to "start" the day. That is because hormones such as glucagon, cortisol or adrenaline go high in the morning and produce this reaction in your body (blood sugar going up!). If you have breakfast, even without carbohydrates or low carb, that is not going to help recover from high blood sugar. So when you wake up and your blood sugar is too high, correct it with some Bolus insulin and skip breakfast! Then when your body doesn't have this stress anymore from high blood sugar, you can have some low carb meal at noon or (better) later (at 1 pm, 2pm...).Maybe you think "I can't stand it without breakfast". I thought it as well... BUT! YOU'LL GET USED TO IT VERY SOOON! Eating keto (no carbs or very low, healthy fats and a bit of protein) and doing interval fasting at the same time are the key to not get hungry! you won't ! because the fat is going to keep you fulled / satiated. The carbohydrates are the BIG problem for diabetics type 1, your blood sugar goes up so fast like in a roll coaster and then goes down fast! hipoglucemia (low blood sugar) happens really often, then you eat because you want to solve the hipoglucemia and then blood sugar goes up really fast! and it is like a circle without any end... you will stop this problem by doing keto diet (low carb or no carb) + interval fasting. Just try for some time and make a video! ;)
Ah! Please try to keep your sugar under 200 ... that's too high, just correct it with some bolus... but don't let it go down by "itself"... just inject some bolus. I know doctors say that after eating having blood sugar value of 200 or higher is "normal", but it is NOT!! that's destroying your organs, body nerves, ... and of course! don't forget to inyect Basal insulin, you need it although you are not eating anything! but you'll probably going to need less if you start doing keto + interval fasting.
Good luck!
I really loved ur way, it's helpful tnx👍
Thanks for the that comment but how many carbs are low carb per meal or per day all together can one eat to keep things great when doing low carb? Thanks
Even when fasting you need insulin. Insulin has many jobs, not just sugar control.
Well I took my long lasting, just not my short term!
@@TylerSpeers What you need to understand is the difference between long lasting insulin and regular insulin is.... that's right nothing. They are the same insulin. Something like lantus is engineered to release slowly into the blood stream. Hypothetically if you were really poor and could only afford the more expensive lantus, you could survive on it alone but with poor control. Speaking of poor control, your breakfast BG was 220 and you are underweight. I hope you read this and switch to an insulin pump as soon as possible and stop destroying your eyes.
@@mad0uche You need to re-calculate your Lantus dosage so that you are between 70-120 all day while fasting. That is the purpose of basal. Even if I fast, I still take 2u of Humalogl to counter the dawn phenom or else it will rise 20mg in 10 minutes. Somedays if I wake up at 75mg and after a shower, it will be 120mg if I don't take 2u of Humalog. Please read Dr. Bernstein's Diabetic Solution or watch his videos.
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for reversing diabetes without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin at last got amazing success with it.
Cheers for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for reversing diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker after many years got amazing success with it.
Just watching this makes me feel gross thinking how I feel with no insulin for extended periods of time... even when I don’t eat food and don’t have insulin, I really feel it
Literally same it’s like a withdrawal for me,I was in the hospital a few months ago for not taking enough insulin even tho my sugars were fine
I have been in the hosital 4 times because of not taking insulin and u usually start feeling bad after the 3rd day...I had been without insulin for over a week
Exactly! If my daughter doesn't have insulin for 3 hours (basal ) she will have high ketones and start dka! Miss information can kill people t1ds need insulin every threw hours or a long lasting whether or not they eat. Im glad I saw your comment. I cant even watch this without becoming enraged
@@konstantinosstamataros9339 damn, I’m looking for videos to help me with a diet cause I’m getting leg pain after not knowing i had diabetes for 5 months☠️ the cramps were horrible i would get them everyday 😭

Your bloodsugar constantly in the 200’s is a fast way to ketoacidosis be careful!!
It's not usually, this was a weird day because of the experiment
I was on a death bed of ketoacidosis be careful man
Lmao, I must always have ketoacidosis then fucker
@@gollygoshh7387 I'm certain he has all of that tested for. You can home test for it. Stop trying to throw shade on a video meant to show options to others.
@@TylerSpeers Then correct, bring your bg back to normal run the experiment another day. Also, title is misleading. It says zero insulin not zero bolis insulin.
Great vid, recommend adjusting your levels first thing in the morning to something in the normal range so your not floating above 200 + all day , once there continue with the no carbs. This has worked for me.
Cortisol will drive blood glucose up in the morning naturally (often called Dawn Phenomenon), so it may not have been the breakfast
I shared t.co/mKpzg34keZ to Type 2 diabetes patients. The person has been able to cure his diabetic issues and achieved a 5.9 HA1c. The health of the other person has considerably enhanced. His fasting blood glucose was decrease to 110mg/dL and he is no longer susceptible to heart trauma, losing his legs and arms, and also eye impairment and neuropathy
False.
Cortisol plays a small role, how about glycogen from your liver. A human pancreas always secretes insulin to prevent catabolism.
You need bolus insulin for protein.. misinformation at its highest form!!! Maybe if you want to be in hyperglycemia, but for the normal non diabetic range that's impossible.
Exactly, i always need some insulin in the morning
As a diabetic type 1, i once decided i want to see how much glucose has my body stored/ can produce while fasting. Long story short, I fasted for 5 days, my body had enough glucose to cover me for 4. 5th day was a little rough cuz i was borderline on hypoglycemia. But i also felt great and had lots of energy
That's an interesting way to figure out how long you can go on a serious sugar rush.
I think adding fat to a meal helps keep glucose levels lower also. My son eats a lot of avocado in his meals and has had good results.
That dawn phenomenon is no joke. I am extremely tight on my keto diet. I almost lean a bit closer to carnivore but still try to get those micronutrients (cauliflower/broccoli). I can attest to much of this as I even fast 18 hours per day (only eat between 3pm and 9pm). So... I go to bed between 80-95 most nights. Wake up - 170-190. I usually drop in a fast acting upon waking (5-8 units) and it comes back down after a bit. My keto meals still require 3-5 units. When I don't, my BG will go up to 150-180 after a couple hours.
The real takeaway here is that us T1Ds can drastically reduce our insulin needs and maintain healthy levels. AND healthy bodyfat percentages (more insulin = more fat gain).
This week I plan on starting a split on the lantus (basal) and see if that works. I have only hesitated because I know it means that I will have to go through an adjustment period.
Either way... Thanks for posting this. I hope it helps a lot of other T1Ds out there to at least see that there are options available that may help maintain better control with less insulin needed.
This is really the way to do it. So many in here are walking around with 200+ bg and thinking this won't effect them. All of us are so wedded to carb intake as a path to happiness. Of course people are different and it's possible some wouldn't have the fabulous results you have, but I've seen them giving t1d jello in the hospital so it's no wonder people are confused.
Actually. Did you know that fats and protein will raise your BGs? So it makes sense you went up after breakfast and dinner. Some people take the same ratio for the profiles and some people half it. It all depends on how your body reacts!
Chantal Benjamin yep and the liver also releases some glucose to give people burst of energy thats why we go high when we wake up in the morning
Tyler you seem like a genuine person to me. I hope you find the courage to change the title of this video to more accurately reflect the reality of living with type one diabetes. Underlying anatomical and physiological principles will persist no matter how positive and thoughtful your message is
I hope you are well.
nice experiment, but wondering if no carb at all is healthy for our body and cells?
You need insulin even for just protein! You need insulin even with zero FOOD period!
I tried that I got dka had mild heart attack
Have you tried carnivore? We've seen people reverse their T1 on it. Also, have you gotten a CGM yet?
Doing such experiment on a day when you are in 200s is a bit irresponsible in my opinion.
I really hope you start taking your insulin like you should. If you let your blood sugars stay in the 200s or higher for long period of time problems can happen. I know for a fact as I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 19 years and I am now blind due to stuff like this
Lol people like you you typed your response blind ?
Think they probably meant partially blind which can still be very hard to deal with :)
Remember to up your fats, and keep your proteins at a low moderate. To much proteins will cause your liver to convert the protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, hence you won't get fat adapted (which is the entire goal of a keto diet). Only when your liver is starved with glucose, your body will start burning fat cells (ketones) as fuel.
As far as your meals go, it's pretty much the same message again. You need more fat!
Your breakfast is the best one, although you could up your fats even more by adding some butter to your eggs. Remember that the fat renders from bacon as you cook it, which makes it basically all proteins. You could also try removing some of the egg whites as it contains no fats at all.
Lunch is basically carbs and proteins, as again the fat renders from the bacon. (not saying there is a lot of carbs, but compared to the amount of fat in that meal it's too much)
Dinner is the same story.
Not trying to be unnecessarily critical, but a high fat content is paramount to this diet working for you. Wish you the best!!
All fat comes with protein in nature. Butter is unnatural.
Gluconeogenesis is need-based, not supply-based.
@@JasonBuckman fair point👍
Absolutely agree with increasing fat intake but not for the reason you mentioned, fat adaptation isn’t disrupted by Gluconeogenesis.
Hi Tyler. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I am not type one so please excuse if this is obvious. Do you take a long-acting insulin daily regardless of what you have at your meals? Thank you!
Thanks for watching Sarah! The answer is yes, always!
@@TylerSpeers wow. That was a fast answer! Okay thank you. I'm trying to get up to speed. I have several friends that are type 1 and my daughter's sister-in-law's two-year-old son looks like he is getting ready to be diagnosed. Thank you for the information!
Hii Tyler,
What if we exercise everyday and eat carbs in moderation?
I recommend looking at Dr. Richard Bernstein's method. Bottom line - protein should be covered by Regular insulin, which is slower than Rapid insulin (given that the meal has a bit of s/low carb - veggies).
And if the Basal is split into 2 doses, you can also tackle the dawn phenomena.
Dr. Bernstein truly hits the nail on the head.
I am a great fan of Bernstein's work but as with anything in type 1 it has to be personalized and we have lost sight of this in type 1 & this is worrying. Whatever brings a type 1 into excellent control should be what they do not following any diet or approach without question. I use his approach as a framework and he also in his own way advocates this which is why i respect him. There are those who will do what he suggests even if it doesn't work but don't sway from his 'diet'. Type 1 is like a new discovery everyday-eat a specific food and test what happens and then make your decision to eat it or not based on what happens. I have some very wacky ones such as I can drink milk but cant eat natural yogurt -in theory this shouldn't be the case but I have always said type 1 and theory aren't the best of buddies lol. Hope you continue to do well using this approach and stay well in the future. best wishes
This kid needs to read this advice and buy the book. He also needs an insulin pump and GCM.
This sounds like a easy way to kilo yourself fast, doesn't it?
Now how old are you?
You look fat
Hi Tyler - I used to have blood sugar that was extremely difficult to control. In fact when I first started on my CGM in 2008, I was only on track 15% of the time. Now with a no carb diet and the 780G by Medtronic, my blood sugar is 100% on track most days. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it. I take 2 units for carb free meals, because I would still have high blood sugar otherwise (unless I'm being super active). I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 9, and now I'm 40 years old. :-) The new algorithm that Medtronic has just come up with is the only thing that has ever worked for me. The 770G pump is not even comparable. Best wishes...
que insulina usas para bolos ??
Love how calm he was after cutting himself and how he said it will not stop bleeding
Your liver produces some glucose though, that’s why there is basal insulin. Maybe your body takes care of it from leftover cells. Just so you know in case of anything in future
The real question is did you excersise before taking that last sugar and after eating your lunch?
The body is still using up it’s glycogen stores on the first day isnit it? It is possible that a type 1 diabetic can keep going with this and get into ketosis or is that not possible without insulin? If someone is running on ketones instead of glycogen do they need insulin? Sorry I’m ignorant on this subject also is ketosis dangerous with diabetes.
Even animal protein needs insulin to be absorbed by the cells, not as much as carbs, but it's still needed.
he needs to go all in. No vegetables, just meat. He has to understand it is an autoimmune disease,
also it seems like he is in the partial or honeymoon phase, his pancreas can produce "some" or little amount of insulin....
It requires insulin but it shouldn't increase his blood sugar, because there is no sugar.
Yes but after this your body is still in ketosis(burning fat for fuel/bodyfat/nutrition fat, which we never runs out of, now compare that to carbs then you know carbs is bad.) So the raise in insulin for meat is so much benefits Vs carbs. Good luck
@@reinhardt2884 the body converts protein into sugar... So it's possible that he had more protein then he needed and the body converted.
@@CaitlinJHall really? What is the chemical process of protein to sugar? if this is the case then protein should be reduced as well to most of the diet being animal fat.
You just didn’t add enough fat! Great job! Different music plz 🙃 lots of type 1s are living low carb high fat and feel great.
TheLoreAxe actually diabetics are at higher risk for heart disease but healthy fats are not the cause.
@@theloreaxe no. I don't know where did you get that information from? 😅 the American heart association?
I'm a type one diabetic, I've been eating a ketogenic mostly carnivore diet. And I have been eating this way for over 15months. My triglycerides are very good 38. Good HDL and LDL are great. My A1C is 5.1 %. My blood sugar levels are between 80 to the 90's... I would recommend you look a little more into it and don't believe in what these organizations tell you. You will ended up sicker or fatter.
@@gallettiguitartones Agreed! My cholesterol got completely fixed when I removed sugar and starch products from my diet. Every blood test improved eating keto. I'm not hungry, it all tastes delicious. I am not 100% reliant on medication and my weight gradually decreased. I have maintained muscle mass and have more energy. Some people just need to accept that they have gotten brainwashed into thinking something about health, rather than just trying something different. Btw, I have been eating no carb for nearly 2 years so...
NO NO
His flaw is he doesnt take insulin!! He is a NATURAL DIABETIC!! You know where that 200 plus sugar is gonna go??
I’ve tried the same my glucose stays around 100. But have you tested your ketones? That’s the main thing to watch out for. Stay safe brother.
I did alternate day fasting as a type 1 diabetic. With the freestyle libre to monitor my levels. Ive never had such level Bloodsugar levels in my life, but i would very slowly trend upwards. Not sure if that was due to my long lasting wearing off or not. Cool video though man! Skol Wolves!
Hey Tyler , its Roberto from Miami , i am also a t1 d and wanted to know what for portion sizes do you eat with your t1d ? Btw , I am 53 years old , hard working guy and dude my sugar is high no matter what even from just breathing the air LOL . Thanks
I eat pretty standard sizes, nothing too heavy, trying to keep it pretty healthy overall!
Protein causes small glucose bump. If he was eating just fat... ?
SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As someone diagnosed with type 1 a month ago. I have so many theories and you just demonstrated one of the biggest ones for me.
If insulin cancels out carbs - what if you just cut them both out.
Obviously just curious as to what happens, anyone reading….DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT STOP TAKING INSULIN IF YOU ARE INSULIN DEPENDENT AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!
My Blood sugar is 432mg/dl as i write this
This is inspiring but as an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic I think I'll keep taking my insulin since my pancreas is basically dead and won't produce shit no more lmao. I'd say use this experiment to more teach other diabetics to be healthier in general and make it so they don't require insulin as much but to stop all together can have serious side effects,especially in my case. I'd say follow everything you said here but still monitor and take insulin to anyone else reading this. Your video brings me much positivity,I'm glad there's channel's like this out there.
A Brisk 1 and 1/2 Mile Walk will lower a blood sugar 75 to a hundred points and would have been ideal after that breakfast. I sometimes have had twice the amount of bacon as well as a couple cups of Starbucks and three eggs and then walked a mile and a half to 2 mi and get home to check my blood sugar and find that it has dropped 75 to a hundred points. This is just food for thought no pun intended😉
-type 1 since 1990.
Did u face any complications?
I like how whenever i say i can’t eat shit my friends say “just don’t eat carbs it’s not that hard” like bruh do you not understand carbs are in literally EVERYTHING. The cluelessness man.
Have you tried a trawler vegan diet, cause I tried that and my sugars remains constant and I don’t eat carbs but high fat which comes from nuts and avocados
How come even with zero carbs at a meal he is not taking the correction dose insulin? With 220 no correction dose?
Should I try this out for a week? Ensuring my sugar is okay but I will take long acting insulin. Is that okay?
Ask ur doctor
Just wondered where you on your usual basal inulin or did you literally mean no insulin at all
We need more info of what you did during the day. Its more than just food. Stress, athletics, etc. Keep doing this for two weeks for a true experiment. A slow walk usually brings it down.
Bro if ur a teen u need CARBS!! It’s important for your growth and well being. Only do this when ur an adult and over 21
From my experience the bacon fat will raise my blood sugar hours later
ive been doing a low carb diet for around six months (as a diabetic) and i found it really effective. i would recomend going on an aip diet first because that regulated my sugars between 3-8 mmol. after that i went on the low carb one and i have completely stopped insulin.

The thing is in a normal day as a diabetic your getting excersize and that will bring your sugar down so there’s to many factors that you didn’t include that would make an interesting experiment
I've had diabetes for 25 years and was diagnosed as a type 2 so I went low carb diet with good results and great sugars just to be hospitalized for diabetic ketosis. That's how I found out I was really a type 1 diabetic. You just have to be really careful with these experiments. The glucose meter isn't telling you everything you need to know.
You had diabetic ketoacidosis, NOT ketosis, very different things.
Sounds like you have LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) otherwise known as type 1.5. I am in the same boat. Diagnosed with type 2 but I eventually stopped responding/had bad reactions to oral meds and non-insulin injectables. I am now dependent on insulin. Of course my Dr and I have found out that I am manufacturer and type specific for Novolin 70/30. All other insulin doesn't work as well or I react to them.
Not "ketosis" it was ketoacidosis.. Big difference.
@@jonchapman6821 Lol, I left the same comment. This is why people are afraid of a ketogenic protocol. Even diabetics often don't know the difference, which means their doctors aren't educating themselves and their patients.
What about your activity during the day? That matters as well.
T1D for 16 years. Even if you eat no carbs, your body still needs insulin. There's a thing called a basal rate. It's where you get a certain amount of insulin given in very small doses throughout the day for pumps, or taken in one shot on long acting insulin. It helps keep your blood sugar from going up since anything and everything can effect it
Okay so, your theorie that you don't need insulin when you don't eat carbs is obv. not true.
You need your basal insulin no matter how many carbs you eat.
You know, fat and protein also increase your blood sugar levels but not as much as carbs do.
when you eat 0 carbs for a longer period, you probably need to decrease your basal insulin because your insulin sensitivity changes.
Even fatty cut meat like rib eye raises ur blood sugar than lean meat?
When and how much of the long lasting insulin did you take?
I took 15 units in the morning and 15 at night!
Tyler, that was a very educational presentation. Thanks, and keep up your great work.
Type 2 diabetes is remittable with a strict ketogenic diet ...about 3 months on carnivore puts type 2 into remission .Type 1 can be put about 80% into remission ,on a strict keto diet .
When you do this do you check your ketones??
Can my teenager son take insulin shots whenever he wants to snack or is there a time limit
Yes…No correction..Just cover the carbs he eats with insulin
It looked like he kept getting more fatigued with every meal cause of the high blood sugar lmao
Nothing to laugh about!
This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "diet quality and diabetes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Deyophia Vanackenzie Remedy - (should be on google have a look )?
Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Great video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (google it)? It is a good one off product for reversing diabetes without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam got excellent results with it.
When you laugh just remember you are laughing at someone who is dying in slow motion
@@Markk4785 this is so sad because it is so true...
Also the body stress that you’re putting yourself through makes your sugar go up
stress from what?
Ignorance
I have a question and I wish there is someone to answer it
So basically I have diabetes and I am 16 years old and I am actually little skinny how can I get weight and get little bigger
And some informations ( I weight 58kg=128Ib and my hemoglobin test was 10)
Blood sugars will stay steady but if its steadily over 200 that’s not really good. Even when I do not eat carbs I still have to take a couple units of insulin to insure that my sugars move in the right direction.
Can you stop from getting type 1 diabetes
It's actually good to have carbs it helps your body function and as long as you make sure to dose before you ear you should be OK
You do know that even eating other foods, your body cells can synthesize proteins into glucose, which is sugar.
On an as needed basis, when and how much is needed, no overage (when properly functioning).
Thanks for this Video Bro & Keep being Awsome bro & thank you also @KenDBerryMD
You should not eat anything before bed just a little bit milk just to feel fuller.and skip breakfast and have it for lunch.that way you will eventually have lowerwaking levels.add warm water before amd after meals
I really need breakfast since I run in the mornings and have to get fulled up!
@@TylerSpeers use a standing order before bed and reduce as you go off the carbs.from seing those numbers i would suggest starting 10 units humilin N and 6 regular before bed.make sure to drink alot of water and incorporate FULL body workout to deplete maximum amount of sugars in as many muscle groups as possible.concentrate on hydration and bloodflow before breakfast and have the jog before or after dinner
Bad ass move sacrificing your finger for the likes. My man ain't playing around
That much amount of blood sugar in your blood will start to damage the body tissues. Only taking lomg acting insulin won't help you. Long acting insulin like lantus doesn't drop your blood sugar like regular insulin. Lantus simply works by stopping your liver or fat storage to release glucose in your blood.
Protein raises insulin and once you are fat adapted, fats raise insulin as well. I’m finding that the only way to help my metabolism is with a 6:18 intermittent fasting schedule.
So even fat from fatty cut of beef raised blood glucose or it fat like oils or butter?
I was like whoa! I assume you are talking a baseline level of insulin.
Even though you're not eating foods with carbs think, you're liver still gives your body sugar to help with energy. So not taking insulin won't last for long.
Interesting experiment. Do you think you have some "honeymoon" beta cell function after 4 years, since you stayed relatively stable? Glad you mentioned that people need to at least take their long-acting basal. And that's definitely true if you are doing lower carb long term. Protein raises my glucose like around 3 hours later, and veggies are usually raising within about 45 minutes. I just try to avoid all of the other carbs. And if I'm up over 115, I take some more basal and also do exercises till it drops down. Basal takes about 4 hours to kick in, but exercise -- specifically muscle-contracting exercises can lower glucose regardless of insulin; and muscle contractions combined with adequate insulin is like a multiplying factor. Science.
Sometimes it is so strange how it all works. I think I'm past the honeymoon period, but my blood sugar can remain pretty constant since I run many miles each day. Exercise really is great for keeping constant or at least stable sugars!
Tyler Speers Alright I will start with 2 miles
Feels good to see someone else who has type one diabetes, I've had it for well over 10 years at this point. It's nice to see tiers doing low carb.
Love the concept of this video. But... I'm a mom, and those BG numbers made me cringe every time I saw them. Why did you not take a correction before you started the day?? My 15yo T1D, stays super stable without bolus insulin when he keeps his carbs low, so I love the message you are spreading!
T1d here, fats and protein both metabolize into glucose eventually. With fat I generally use a 1/2 bolus extended over 2 hours starting 1 hour after consumption for fats. With fast absorbing protein like whey it is a 1/2 bolus of the protein amount the same time I would bolus for carbs. For something lean like chicken it leans more to 1/3 bolus over an hour after an hour. I use a omnipod, dexcom, and reily link loop, last a1c was 5.8.
Is this still working for you?
I don’t really recommend doing this yeah once in awhile won’t hurt but you can try and cut down to maybe 75 to 80 carbs a meal also cutting out breads will help lower carbs too
You mean eating 75 to 80 carbs per meal or per day? That’s like B2 cups of rice per meal? Isn’t that alot or already what most people eat a by way?
I think you need to commit to absolutely no carbs. You're not quite doing zero carb...
I would literally just eat grass-fed beef and liver and water for a day while monitoring blood sugar and see what happens.
Also try a day of fasting and examine how the blood sugar changes.
When i get caught with no insulin, like lets say at work, ( I do MDI) I will use water to drop my blood sugar if i allow it to go to high. A good 3 water bottles of water can drop it 100 points for me.
I'm sure your intention was good but your title is misleading saying you took no insulin. You only mention it very quickly at the end that you did in fact take Basel insulin in the background. I've t1 30 years and a 10yr old with t1 and these kind of videos worry me as a mother that they may be seen by young or people with little tyoe 1 diabetes education and they would end up in ketoacidosis 😢
Contious above 200 cause DKA , didnt you face DKA?
I eat that breakfast every single day with an avocado. As for lunch a regular salad (lettuce, spinach, onion, tomato, cucumber with oregano and black pepper with olive oil and white wine vinegar.) Sometimes I have my salad with boar's head turkey and white American cheese. I don't eat anything for dinner. It's worked for me. Still have to take my shots though so that sucks.
Careful. A LOT of bacon is cured with sugar. That's most likely the cause of your BG bump.
I'm a TD1, I still take 3u for 2 eggs, 2 sausage & 1/4 avocado breakfast- essentially zero carbs. That is why carb counting does not work for a Type 1.
thanks for this video bro, I have tried this for 20 days eating only salad coz I am from a Vegfamily and at the end of 20th day I was at my death, barely survived.
Oh gosh, be careful!!
be careful man, consistently being at 200 or 250 blood sugar is hard on your heart and kidneys,
you legit have continous dangerously high blood pressure in the 150's or 160's with blood sugar this high ....
have you kept going no on short term insulin and
is your blood sugar down to the 100's range now?
mmol/dl is what you use in america right? So if its to mmol/l 200 is 20? We get told to stay between 4-8/10 so 200-250 is horrific
Bacon puts my blood sugar up because of the protein spike . Anyone else’s blood sugar do that ???
salad has carbs that all had carbs
I've been experimenting with low carb meals recently. Low carb has never worked for me before, but I am trying to reduce. I find when I do a fully no-carb meal, my blood sugar goes much higher. If I eat around 15 crams of carbs per meal, it stays much steadier.
You gave to eat fats! Protein and lots of good fats! And no, I'm not diabetic, I'm epileptic. I'm just saying. Make sure you're getting your fats in. They're so important.
You were probably only barely able to "pass" that test because you had only had type 1 for 4 years. You probably still produce a bit of your own insulin still. I've had it for 16 years now and eat low carb (max 30 grams a day), but my blood sugar starts rising only 30 minutes after not getting any insulin from my pump (I only use fast acting Fiasp) during fasting. Insulin has a counter-regulatory effect to the release of glucagon, which makes the body stop producing glucose from glycogen. That means without insulin, you will go into a negative feedback loop, where low insulin makes your body release more sugar from its stores, which blunts the effect of the little insulin you have, causing more sugar to be released and so on.
You will die without insulin, so please don't try this. Also, that is extremely high blood sugar you had throughout the day - it will make you dehydrated, which is a serious complication of high blood sugars.
You probably could of had better control if you bolus about 1 unit In the morning of fast acting insulin however this was a very interesting experiment 😊
Broccoli has little cars because it's a man-made vegetable
Weird argument. God made doesn't negate carbs, it just means the food will assimilate with you where as a hybrid will not.
you can be a man-made vegetable
Hey Tyler,
Please be very careful!!! 200+ is bad! Sugar need to be around 70-140. 200+ and ketone if you do paleo. Can easily take you to DKA.
Protein ( your bacon) has a glycemic index. So there is a sugar being metabolized. I dont eat carbs well almost none yes my sugar is way better but you still need somthing to burn so you don't go into ketosis
10g of protein act like 6g of carbs. The ratio is 60%. But obviously the protein is a lot slower to break down than carbs. So in reality you could get away with using just using basal insulin. 220 and 265 are too high! Anything over 180 is certainly not good.
