I am T2D. I was on meds where both my foot went numb after taking them. I went to the dr 3x but i got ignore. I had to take control of my health. Yes cutting sugar, grains, process foods, cakes, donuts, ice creams, and 6 meals a day really help!
I was told I was prediabetic 4 years ago. My doctor immediately Prescribed metformin. It made me feel like crap. Diet and exercise is EVERYTHING. Totally curable. Drug companies and kick backs are killing people. I like this guy too. very helpful. :)
I was diagnosed two months ago. No one has told me I can reverse this. I am speechless - so full of hope for the first time.
What has your diet been like the last couple years? Drinks included?
You will feel so much better going low carb/keto.
Fabulous you found out so soon that you can reverse this with diet. It's totally under your control. Hope you've already started working on it.
Ben - my doctor had diagnosed me as "pre-diabetic" many years ago and I generally managed both my glucose levels and my A1C with diet. I gave up any added sugar (mostly soda and snacks), most starches (bread, pasta, potatoes, beer, etc.), and became aggressive with carb counting (~100g daily), and I dropped 25 pounds in 2-3 months. I thought I was doing pretty well for the intervening years and then COVID struck along with some family tragedies followed by retirement. I allowed my diet to go unchecked for the better part of last year and was drinking more than I should. For my annual physical in fall 2020, my levels were normal but my 2021 physical was just last month and I had gained back the 25 pounds, my A1C was 10.0, and my glucose was 397! My doctor prescribed metformin and added dapagliflozin (Farxiga) after a follow up visit. I immediately began monitoring my glucose levels daily and resumed my aggressive carb counting, shooting for between 50-100g of carbs daily.
Long story short, in just over a month's time my glucose levels are down to around 100 and I've dropped 12 pounds. A comment above used the term CARNeto diet - my regimen now is lean meat and a variety of vegetables (avoiding the starchy ones), water, and zero-sugar sodas if I want something different. I'm hoping that my next A1C in March will also show improvement and that I haven't done too much damage to my body during the time I was not paying the sort of attention to my diet that I should have. Dr. Berry is right on about managing your diabetic health through what you eat.
I hate to say it but current medical research does not support the idea that type 2 can be cured.
I dropped my weight from 310 to 154. I dropped my A1C from 9.6 to 4.8 with no meds!!! It’s all Clean Keto and Intermittent Fasting
Hey...is it true! I am 65 kg and 5.3" tall.. I am from India and have Hb1ac around 8... Can It works on me..I mean intermittent and excercise with low carb diet..? Can you suggest your whole diet plan
Im on my way too, thanks for your information 😁👍👍👍
@@saurabh4christ Dr Berry has a diet plan. Videos are on here or join his channel
@@saurabh4christ lots of meat and eggs
Appriciated, pls can you share your diet plan so that its very useful to us
This completely backs up what I have suspected for decades. 25 years ago my father was diagnosed with T2D and his doctor recommended a vegetarian diet full of wheat, grains, pasta and fruit. His diabetes accelerated out of control and he died at 52. This is an eye opening verification of what I have been suspecting for years. Thank you!
I am so sorry, what a shame, shame, shame. My mother had crohn's disease and she too did all the opposite of what carnivore could have done to spare her suffering. I am so appreciative of Dr. Berry and all other influencers who help get this information out. Peace, Lyne
I have type one diabetes. I was 'fed' a load of nonsense when first diagnosed. I eventually found out what I needed to know for good control. It was nothing like I was told back then.
James, sorry for your loss. It hits home with me because I'm 52 now.
While I respect vegetarian & vegans, its the ultra militant ones who claim that plant based is end all, cure all to every human illness. Then the lemmings who are still omnivores who believe them and think that's what they have to do to get healthy. Professor Eran Segal gave a TED Talks where said that there is no perfect diet and that everybody is different, which I definitely believe.
My younger brother went vegan cold turkey with no problem. Meanwhile I tried vegetarianism for like 3 weeks and felt nauseous, dizzy, and weak. Even after trying to ease into it. My brother can eat carbs and not really put on weight. I spend 2 weeks eating carbs and I start to puff up. All my brothers and sisters like spicy foods. Me, can't handle it.
So sorry for the loss of your father at such a young age. Knowledge is power James. Please find out if you or anyone else in your family has diabetes or pre-diabetes. Wishing you good health.🕊🌺
I am one of those skinny diabetics. I went to the doctor for a totally unrelated problem 11 years ago and "accidentally" found out that I was diabetic. I would have went on for many, many years never knowing it. This knuckle headed doctor basically told me that it was degenerative and to protect my feet from injury. He said absolutely nothing about my diet. I fired him and did not go to the doctor again until 2017. The first thing my new doctor told me, who is a naturopath, was to get on a ketogenic diet. I finally listened to her and you and after 4 years I improved my A1C from 11.7 to 6.0 last month.
TOFI is what doctors call it.
Thin Outside
Fat Inside
A DEXA scan shows where the visceral fat is located around the organs.
That's great. But your still a diabetic.
Keep up the great work! Hope your A1C has consistently continued to improve.👍👏
Westlake Market,
I'm also a skinny diabetic and my last A1c was 6.0. I'm trying very hard to bring it down to 5.5 without losing more weight. I was 115 lbs when I started eating low-carb and quickly went down to 96 lbs; I was very weak so I ate some rice and potatoes sometimes; I regained a few pounds and am currently 109 lbs. It's difficult but I'm not giving up or going back to the way that I was eating! We've to take care of ourselves and Praise God that we've Dr. Berry and other doctors on UA-cam to help guide us! Take care and God bless 🙏
I'm also a skinny diabetic but that wasn't always the case. Went from a muscular 200 pounds to 170 in about 4 months with no change to my diet. Was told I was a type 2 for years before I finally convinced my doctor (with evidence) that I'm a type 1.5. Then started insulin (Novolin N) once per day at dinner time, and haven't felt better in years after suffering for so long. Plus I put on some much needed muscle.
If you fall off the wagon with your diet, Dr.Berry with his enthusiasm always gets me back on track. Down 75 lbs another 45 to go! Love Dr.Berry!
You should be proud of yourself!!! Good job!!!
YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Always thought and believed to the point of having a Conviction, that Mediterranean diet like Falafel, Olive Pizza, Babagunesh etc along with Nuts and Honey based dessert are cures for Type 2 diabetes
I've been doing low carb for 9 months now and I find watching the keto and low carb videos helps to keep me encouraged to continue.
Wow, how you do it? Help,please
I was diagnosed with type 2 about 2 years ago. My sugar was 374 and a1c was 12. I have completely reversed this condition with diet alone. Everything that was said here in this video is 100% true.
What changes did you make?
@dozermand6ify the first thing I did was cut out all the drinks that were loaded with sugar, soda and juice mostly. That in itself made a huge difference. I also started drinking a lot more water. Next, I started paying more attention to what I was eating. I cut out all of the deserts and cut down on the carbs, and overall calories in general. There are actually a lot of food alternatives that are just as satisfying but are a lot better for you. You just need to do a little homework and find the ones that appeal to you the most. This is totally reversible, the doctors that tell you otherwise are full of it.
In 3 months I dropped my A1C from 6.2 to 5.6
335 down to 273
On a Carnivore Diet
Great for you keep on doing it.
Please would you mind tell how you controlled your control your sugure. My mother has diagnosed diabetes and we do not know what type she is about 75 or I do not know her exact age.
Would you mind tell me how you managed please please.
Dr Berry - I reversed my diabetes thanks to your videos and it didn’t take me long. I eliminated sugar out of my diet and went on intermittent fasting for only 7 months. My doctor never told me it’s reversible.
I went from an A1C of 9 to an A1C of 5.5 in 4 months doing a keto diet. I've been at 5.5 now for over 18 months. :)
Wonderful! I've had similar results and without meds. It's pretty freeing!
My dad stopped over 10 years of Insulin injection and went for 90% keto. A1c dropped from 8.4 to 6. Lost 10kg.
I am T2D. I changed my diet from high carb to lchf diet, fasting and exercise. I loss weight from 164 to 115, A1C was 8.93 to 4.8 and glucose from 199+ to 100 or less. I am on supplements only and off meds. Dr Ken Berry is correct what he says. My dietition and pcp recommended 6 meals a day with snack between each meals which is dangerous!!! Yes i did followed it but my condition gotten worst which mean more meds so i changed my diet. I avoid bread, process foods, sugar, corn, grains, seed fats, juice soda, and fry foods.
terrific spread the word
Bravo!!!!
My mom is type II. She kept hounding me to quit vaping, constantly on my ass about it. She probably took her blood sugar reading once every three months. She took her meds but her A1C was through the roof and she ate whatever. I made her a deal that I would quit vaping if she would take her BS once daily and wrote it down. It’s been about 7 months and her A1C is like half of what it used to be and I haven’t vaped. She’s lost about 50 pounds and has far exceeded my greatest expectations. Seeing her numbers improve has really motivated her and at this point she is doing it for herself and not just so I will continue to not vape.
Clint Parsons You are saving two lives! Blessings to both you and your mom. So proud of you for making that deal & your two successes.
Wow!! That is love!! ❤️. Your post brought years to my eyes. What a great son your are!!
Congrats to both of you.
What an awesome deal you two made, it's a win-win! Congratulations to you both. 👍🏼
Good for both of you!
I'll say it again. I went from 10.6 A1C to a 5.5. I simply stopped having sugar and started a hi fat low carb diet. I did it from November when I was diagnosed to June at my 3rd Dr appointment. My next appointment because I did so well is not until December. Also my blood work was all in the normal range. Your research Dr Berry as was as others has saved my health. Instead of screaming "I'm debt free", I'm metabolic syndrome free!
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2008. Two years ago my A1C was about 10.1, the VA asked me to try the Virta Program, a mostly protein diet, no sugar or unhealthy carbs. I have lost over 40 lbs and my A1C runs between 5.3 to 6.0, feel much better.
Back in August 2017 I was hospitalized for 6 months with a severe heel ulcer (and a few smaller ones) that required 2 surgical debridements due to Peripheral Neuropathy in my legs and feet from T2 Diabetes.
When I was discharged in February 2018 I weighed 368 lbs. My Hba1c was 18!
I went on a Keto diet, and began Intermittent Fasting. By July 2018 my Hba1c was down to 4.8, and has remained between 4.8 - 5.6 ever since. I am off the 3 types of insulin I was on; as well as all oral diabetes meds except Metformin.
I have lost 140 lbs, walk up & down stairs unaided, and at age 62 have done a minimum of 50 Push-Ups every day since November 5th 2020 after not being able to do a single Push-Up for over 40 years. (Have been doing a minimum of 100 for the past 4 months )
I now follow a Carneto diet. (It's what most people WRONGLY call Ketovore since the Carnivore portion makes up the biggest part of the meal, so it deserves priority, while the veggies, etc - the "keto" portion adds some variety. Thus, CARNeto.) So T2 Diabetes can be reversed, as I have done so.
Way to go! That’s an amazing story. Did coming off the carbs speed the healing of your heel?
@@Mrs.TJTaylor Thank you Diane.
Actually not really. While not initially at least.
My Heel had basically healed after the surgeries, but I still had to wear an off loading boot after I was released from the hospital.
I began Keto/Carneto 3 weeks later. So it may have helped somewhat, but not initially.
Well done 👍
@@wandaarnt234 Thank You Wanda. 😀
Have you noticed ingesting carbs spikes your blood sugars differently from someone who has never had Diabetes? I am curious if it is ever possible to fully revert back to a normal state. It would be nice to have a cheat meal with friends and family a few times a year.
Thanks to a video of Dr Berry’s called The Ketogenic diet and reversing type 2 Diabetes , that I watched back in November 2020, I HAVE reversed my type 2 diabetes! February of 2021 my A1C was 5.2, which was the highest since the start, and my lowest was 4.6 several months ago. The lowest numbers were because I incorporated intermittent fasting along with keto. You can do this too!
Thank you I will try it. I’ve tried everything else that I know. I pray this is finally it. It does make you want to give in. Not give up. Happy safe and prosperous holidays
I need to study this I'm dying
That is awesome!
@@gruntspy44 you can do this bud! Subscribe to Dr Berry’s channel. He has a lot of great past videos to help you. He calls it the “proper human diet “ and that’s very correct! Keto and Intermittent Fasting are life changing! You won’t be dying anymore, you’ll be living great again! Good luck 🍀
@@christianjorgensen249 I'm in so much pain. My body is on fire. Blood sugar runs higher than giraffe balls.... blood pressure is also higher than Keith Richard's in 73. I'll definitely look deeper into this
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 2 months ago! I bought my own meter to check my EAG. I went from 140 to 89. 😁 which equals 4.7 blood reading no longer Diabetic or pre diabetic! I just changed what I ate walked everyday went from 163 pounds to 149! I did it thanks to videos like yours! Thank you!
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
Many who aren’t classified should be and don’t know to fight.
I don't fight back I just take my pills metformin
Like the majority of people I have no side effects if y have side effects why not try another pill maybe. I never think what could happen with my diabetes. That's not a good way to live plenty of people have heart attacks without being diabetic I don't think it's helpful to go on about what can happen if y are diabetic . I think I probably eat thecwrinf fruit and veg from time to time but I've had good results from blood tests for 13 years I'm 77
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and the information they gave me still had me eating 150-200 grams or more of carbs a day! Glad to have found Dr. Berry.
I was told I had gestational diabetes, 7 years later I was diagnosed as a full blown T1D. I had a 10lb baby. Now I wonder if I just was a T1D all along...
Wow, so glad you found dr b too😊
ADA diet regs will kill you.
Dr Berry is one of the BEST!!
@@maiaallman4635 Usually patients with gestational diabetes get a repeat OGTT 3-6 months after delivery. 7 years later is a long time after though. Furthermore Type 1 diabetes isn't caused by insulin resistance though, like type 2 diabetes is.
He's telling the truth. Combining keto, fasting, HIIT, and eTRF succeeded within just a mere 22 days in getting me off of heavy insulin shots, all meds, and ten years of Type-2. Eventually, over time, have now dropped 186 pounds with only 40 more to go. No hunger occurred.
You are correct, therefore the good doctor who I usually admire is perpetuating a further myth about diabetes. That it is caused by excess carbohydrates. Not true, the real culprit is food & eating too frequently. Carbs just don't help the situation but are not the true villains. Happy New Year! 😊
@@brendabrown1691 You are correct too. Eating the best prebiotic veggies & raw, dark greens + only best probiotics ( kraut, dill ) makes the gut healthier. All these are ''Evil'' carbs & also provide fiber. To avoid glyphosate, must be all organic and no chlorinated/fluoridated tap water in restaurants because these 3 murder the gut lining,
@@brendabrown1691 I’m not sure about what you’re saying. Taken to an extreme, I think eating an egg and a piece of bacon every two hours would be a healthier way of eating than a huge bowl of fettuccine alfredo once a day. What would happen over the course of six months eating like this?
what is eTRF?
@@DeafSeattleGuy36 Some studies seemed to reveal that Early Time Restricted Feeding afforded an astounding # of big health benefits similar to Intermittent fasting but not as robust as I\\F. The eTRF method is where one eats all the food of the entire day within a 2 to 4 hour window but this window must end 9 or more hours prior to one's regular bedtime.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the first week of February. I followed the ADA dietary guidelines for diabetics for all of Feb and March. I actually had to increase the amount of insulin I was taking, and gained 1 lb. I went on a strict under 20 carbs diet in the first week of April, and I ended up taking my last shot of insulin on April 27th, and stopped the Metformin in mid May. I went full carnivore the first week of June, and on July 7th my A1C came back a 5.6. I also lost 40 lbs during all that. I feel better than I've felt in at least 20 years, maybe even forever. I'm off ALL my prescribed meds. BP meds, Protonix, Atorvastatin, all of it. My psoriasis has cleared up, my joints no longer hurt, my depression and anxiety are gone. The diabetes had caused my eye vision to start to blur. That went away and now I can actually read a book without putting my reading glasses on. My brain fog has cleared up and I now have tons of energy.
I thank you for all of this because watching your videos is what put me on the right track!
Praise the Lord Jesus!!!
I diagnosed with full blown type 2 in early April given Metformin and that was it. Nothing about changing diet, what to eat or not to eat or exercise, nothing. Just take the meds to help reduce it. I went home and spent numerous hours on UA-cam and googling about diabetes. It’s amazing how some of these doctors get to continue to practice.
I agree, doctors are to blame,
I was told a year ago that I was "borderline" , nearly diabetic. I just started avoiding sugar, all grains, and trying to eat meats and veggies. In no way am I perfect at this, but I have lost about 20 lbs, and resumed my 1 meal a day eating. Feeling better, and I'm pretty sure that my metabolism is not borderline any more. It totally works.
The best diet advice and its free!!!
You have to get your blood sugar tested to be sure.
30 years with T2; 12 on multiple daily injections of insulin; over a decade of severe disability... down over 125 lbs with non-diabetic A1cs for nearly 2 years on NO diabetic medications from keto + fasting!
Wow! That’s great news. I am a type 2 for 10 years. Went on keto and lost 45 lbs. I got cocky and started eating the carbs again and had a heart attack and quadruple bypass, one of the bypass arteries failed and I had another heart attack and stent put in. Just recently went for a cardiac cath procedure and had a stroke on the table and if that wasn’t enough, I have a blockage in my right leg. Not trying to be negative but thinking of doing Keto again but nervous about it. I am really glad to hear you are ok though. God Bless.
@@dinah7284 I had a bypass after my MI, but just a single one. Bunch of other health issues also; wound up on death's door with home health aids to help me with daily tasks about a decade after the initial heart attack. I couldn't even walk.
For me, keto alone didn't do it; I turned my health around with a heck of a lot of fasting.
There's a playlist on my channel specifically about how to reverse diabetes.
Same only took a few months to lose 60lbs and have had normal A1C since. Started keto and IMF July 2020 never going back!
Hi Reversing. Way to go!!!!👏👏👏
@@dinah7284 hi Dina H. I hope you are hanging in there and are on a road to better health. Praying for you and rooting for you.🕇🕊💕
Three months ago my A1C was at 8.5
I totally eliminated carbs, exercise every day, 18-hour intermittent fasting, and natural glucose-lowering supplements. Plenty of water and fiber. Today she is at 5.4
I’m striving for a similar result. 12/29/23 A1C = 7.1. 1/29/24 A1C = 6. The January result was, of course, due to IF (18/6), mostly but not exclusively PBWF diet, mixture of cardio and resistance exercise routine. I’m still conflicted about meat vs. plants. I’m splitting the difference by consuming sardines and eggs along with a multitude of salads. Thanks for your post. Most encouraging.
@@scottjackson163 i always see a big difference if i eat veg at 1st meal and meat on the 2nd. good luck. i got mine from 6.9 to 5.4 in 3 months , no meds. i do take digestive enzymes because my gallbladder removed. and this was oct 2018. and my numbers are the same now.2024.
Thank you for sharing. I am where you were and hope to get to 5.4 by following these guidelines!
@@rosecore9598 I have been consulting in 3 areas: nutritionist, endocrinologist, and integrative/metabolic medicine. Given the results, the nutritionist reintroduced complex carbohydrates (e.g. sweet potatoes, lentils, chickpeas and beans) into my diet in small quantities (around 2 tablespoons/meal) with rice (1 level tablespoon/meal).
I was a little critical of Kenny lately, but here he is absolutely right. Although none of the 10 points are any secret and you could arrive at those conclusions even without medical training. How medicine treats diabetes in our time is scandalous and when we'll look back in 50 years we will all be shaking our heads in disbelief.
It's obvious, yet people keep chowing down bad food choices, we all see it at the supermarket, some people don't see they need help until it's a life and death situation
Obvs not that obvious
And a bonus lie, we need to eat carbs. Another lie, we need "healthy" whole grains and fruit to be healthy. I've lost 2 friends to diabetes complications, kidney failure. One friend I discussed Keto with after he lost one leg, told me he was interested and that he'd get back to me. A year later he lost his other leg, but he'd get back to me. 6 months later I attended his funeral. My "go to" video for type 2 diabetes has been Dr. Sarah Hallberg's, but now I'm including this video with hers. I thank you for your videos that I can share with friends and in my Keto group.
Oh no so sorry for your losses ...in similar boat...feel so helpless at times...but we cant force people...we each have freedom to choose ...and it should be that way...
Amen, Richard! Sorry to hear about your friends. All we can do is inform others, it's up to them to make the change.
the fact that you lost 2 friends. is scary and that means this is no joke
Well, actually, the body does require Carbohydrates. By majority it's just that people don't need to consume them, try to be more specific, please?
I feel as though you are part of the same choir I belong to. People are shocked that I do not eat fruit and I eat very little grains (just can't give up that half a sandwich at lunch sometimes). I do low carb and intermittent fasting. That works for me, but people still tell me that at my age (76) I deserve a little pleasure. My pleasure is being able to see and have healthy kidneys, neither of which people in my family have enjoyed.
On Omad Keto for nearly a year now and at 67 I feel like I was 20. Meanwhile i visited 4 different doctors to find a real good one but they all have a score of 10/10 in their ignorance (or lies?). Even a specialist on diabetes has this score, so I'm on my own with your help. I just ask them for a bloodtest with my own specifications and draw my own conclusions. I'll never trust doctors anymore! I am so grateful to all you real doctors on the internet who helped me off medications and gave me back a healthy life! Nearly all of my family have diabetes and when I tell something about the method they just mock me. So sorry for them.
My brother-in-law and mother-in-law are both diabetic and I suspect that some of the other family members are too if they were checked out properly. I tried to convince one of them to try my diet for a few weeks, he just looks at me and laughs as if I were crazy to think si know more than his doctor. Meanwhile, he’s started on a CPAP because he can’t even breathe. 😞
I love stories like this. I’m sorry that once again another person experiences doctors as being brain dead but because of people like Dr. Barry, Dr. Eric Wiseman, and Dr. Jason Feng we are learning to be proactive in our state of health. So inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Western 'medicine' is great for gunshots and heart attacks, but is has ZERO truth when it comes to preventive or restorative medicine.
Humans won't listen when being told what to do, I know, i was like that. I had family tell me stuff, that i ignored but when it happened to me, that's when i changed. Just keep doing great! Tell them if they ask.
@@andytaylor1588 Amen!
Thank you for speaking the truth, Dr. Berry. I have been a pharmacist for almost 40 years and I would truly wish that I could be put out of business. I wish I could stop dispensing buckets of drugs to type 2 diabetics who believe all these lies. I have been preaching the low carb diet for decades for my type 2 diabetes patients and literally no one will listen. I see my patients in the grocery store and I can't help but take a peek into their carts- carts piled high with chips, cakes, doughnuts, bread, pretzels, sugary yogurt. Yesterday, I filled up a huge brown paper grocery bag full of drugs for a patient with type 2 diabetes. 6 of these meds were for diabetes and 3 or 4 more were for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The patient had maxed out their insurance and so the bill was about $600 Cdn. This for a patient obviously overweight and not yet 60 years old! I wish this were a rare occurrence but this scene is played out every day in my job. We need your video to be played on a continuous loop in doctor's offices, grocery stores and pharmacies. The lives of our type 2 patients depend on them hearing the truth and taking it to (their not very healthy) hearts. No more lies!
This is happening in Canada. My dad has DM- so far only type 2. He eats and drinks alcohol like he does not have DM. Apparently his glucose meter says okay or something to that effect when he is above 6. Dr. tells him he is okay with his prediabetic and diabetic readings. Thus my dad does NOT heed my concerns. I bought a BG/ketone meter and found out that my husband was continually prediabetic with his fasting am readings. He does like his carbs and does not exercise. I had to give up as it was too frustrating for me. I think my husbands health was or is not as bad as his brothers, as he did IF for years without knowing it. He would go without breakfast and lunch Monday to Fridays. Just coffee with 1/2 t. sugar. Two of his brothers died in their 50's with cardiac problems. His remaining brother has had 5- by pass surgery. I have finally let go. My job is to be the best I can be, Pray for them, and live out by example.
Well said
Thank you for not only telling us the truth, but also for giving us hope! My husband and I have only been following your advice and Keto diet for 4 days and my husband’s blood pressure and blood sugar numbers have already leveled out. We appreciate you so very much. Sending you and your family blessing from Oklahoma!
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic since 1970 and by going low-carbohydrate I finally was able to get A1C under 7%, usually around 6.3%. Endocrinologists were pleased with that despite disapproving of my diet. For the past year a near-carnivore diet has put my A1C under 5%. My current doctor… is on friendly terms with Dr. Berry, not surprisingly.
Woo hoo! Trust the “science”.
Wow good for you, it's crazy to think that the so-called American diet is actually harming all of us. The caveman didn't have bread and pasta so we shouldn't have it either. My mother is a type 2 diabetic and her endocrinologist about had a heart attack when she told him she wanted to go carnivore. They said she would starve to death because she wasn't eating any carbs for energy. What people don't realize is that when you're diabetic carbs actually make you tired they don't give you energy do they?
How are your lipids looking?
@@Seanonyoutube lipids have improved, especially triglycerides.
@@markiangooley i’m on keto, my triglycerides went from 196-80 in less than 6 months .
Good day, I was diagnosed T2 in May with A1C at 13.5 and glucose at 454. Made sure my carb count was 60 grams or below, WAS doing hemalog, 3 units for each 50 over 150/ carb count, lantis, metphormin. Long story short, Tested A1C in August, which had dropped to 5.6 and glucose between 80 and 120 morning fast testing, (I still test before each meal and before bed). I do Trulicity 4.5 mg once a week and Metphormin" OFF OF ALL OTHER MEDS NOW 😃
When I was diagnosed 13 years ago, I asked my dr for a diabetic diet. I was told no such diet exists. I asked what could be done and they said just don't eat carbs and exercise. Currently take 5 shots a day. 3 different medications. Always tired, always ache, etc. I'm thrilled to get this information. Thank you.
Well, just don’t eat carbs is very sound advice! Why didn’t u listen?
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Yes, that's what I was thinking too YeshuaMyKing!?
They forgot the red meat, because it caused gout and and heart disease! It’s what they were taught!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah WHEN U'VE WALKED A FEW MILES IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES...IN OTHER WORDS DON'T JUDGE ANYONE BUT U.

Been T2 for 40 years. Now , almost 84. Learning so much , alone! No doctor ( between visits). . . Making all the decisions each day. Education is key and discipline even more. The critical fight is dependent on intelligence.
Day I was diagnosed, I went keto and started intermittent fasting. I lost 100 lbs., and a1c went down to a 5.1. Blood sugar rarely goes over 110 after eating.
a random person, that is the key! By eating low carb you are preventing those spikes in glucose levels & preventing that crazy ravenous hunger that occurs when coming down from high glucose levels. Congratulations on your wonderful success!
Well doctor Berry after getting my Diabetes under control and having lost a lot of weight! I got my dad onto a Ketogenic diet and his Diabetes is a massive improvement for him.
In just two months he has gone from ten medications to three medications🙂!! He has also lost 19kg and his readings have gone from sugar readings of anywhere as high as 22 down to as low as 6.2 or even 5.7🙂. I have also got him fasting 16/8 everyday and on two months he has gone from a Chronic Diabetic to almost being in total control 🙂.
Thank you. My doctor kept pushing more and more meds on me. Finally pissed off my doctor. Quit the meds. Changed my diet. Got my A1C down to 5.2 from an 8 within 6 months. Excercise now as well. Keeping my toes and eyes. Thank you for this info.
I was informed by my doctors that my diabetics was incurable. But I successfully reversed my diabetes by switching to a Ketogenic diet.
Thank you Dr Berry for telling us truths our docs won’t tell us…
Most of our docs don't even know these truths and haven't taken the time to learn anything about human nutrition
Been on a keto to low carb diet for 3 years. Finally my Doctor put into my record diabetes in full remission. Last A1C was 4.6 % and six month earlier 5.0%. It has stayed in the high 4% to low 5% consistently over the last 3 years. This really works.
Wow! I wish it was me. I am working on it. 5.6 and gong down!
Congratulations Stephen Cullum!
@@linda.p.8540 Linda p Keep it up & you will get there. At 5.6 you are well on your way. I'm at 5.3 & on 33% less insulin than when I started. We can both do this!🕊💪🌹
I don't understand keto pliz kindly list down for us wat exactly to do and foods to eat am losing my self
Am 29 and my blood sugar is always 9.1 or 8 .9
my grandmother, and folks of her generation, were very clear on the cause of T2D. She'd say that one person or other "has sugar" and wasn't allowed to eat cake or other carb food. She explained it quite well to me and she never even finished high school. Cause is right there in the expression!
Having the sugar meant no sweets but they ate carbs no problem. Potatoes, bread, noodles & macaroni, chips.
My grandpa got the sugar. Slivers of cake at birthdays, I remember. But still ate the same moderate diet they always had-they both just had sweet tooths that he had to eliminate. He never injected insulin but took pills. Died in 1977 but not from diabetes.
Ppl did used to know that to lose wgt u stopped eating potatoes, bread and macaroni. The starchy things.
They were innately smart lol
Plus it worked. The food wasn’t so bad (it’s actually messed with) that a little adjustment to the diet worked well. Now we need to be extremist and it sucks.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah That was before our friends in authority decided to give good ol'Monsanto full powers over grain and good ol'Monsanto decided to poison it.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah True.
Don’t forget the the booze 🥃 that was used to wash it all down! If you’re going to have fun, you need your phone, and booze, or you’re not having fun, including fishing and other sports, and get togetherness! It ain’t all food, drinks are too blame, too! People became addicts before they had health problems!
I was just diagnosed with type 2. This was followed by hypertension, fatty liver and High cholesterol. I had a PE (blood clot in lungs) in May so I’m on blood thinner for the rest of my life because this was my second one. Blessed I’m alive. Well, finding a diet to work with fixing all of this plus watching my veggies that have vitamin K has been a challenge to say the least. Doctor is really watching my inr (thickness of my blood) while I do this. Im praying that doing keto and the intermittent fasting is going to reverse all this. I watched what diabetes did to my husband and I’m not doing that. I have watched several of your videos to try and help me on my journey.
Keep going! You will reverse your diabetes and be well. You've made a great start!
Try to get the doctor to put you on the new blood thinners like eliquis(apixaban). You can eat whatever you want and no longer need to be tested for your blood. I changed from warfarin to apixaban and I can enjoy everything except grapefruit. I too was just diagnosed with diabetes 2, hypertension, high cholesterol and have had a Double PE last year as well as dvt. I started the keto diet two weeks ago and noticed the weight loss beginning already. Hopefully I will get my health back.
@@starbro112 I brought my issues under control. I truthfully believe it was God and the keto diet that got it under control. The only medication I’m currently on is the warfarin. The other blood thinners my insurance really doesn’t cover very well. All my blood work comes back within normal now.
Doctors who agree with Dr. Berry yet still treat their patients according to the 10 lies, because it's just easier that way, must feel trapped within the prison of establishment medicine. It's rare and amazing that doctors like Ken and others we know on UA-cam have broken out of that prison and returned to it to free the inmates.
Cookbook medicine... not practicing like Dr. Berry and a few others
It would be much easier and less time consuming to NOT address the lies. A doctor could refer a patient to this channel and Dennis Pollock's instead of responding to these questions. They do not need to agree 100% with Dr. B to see what is working for diabetics.
That only shows that it was always for the wrong reasons that they became physicians.
I love the descriptive name "Chronic Carbohydrate Toxicity Syndrome" as the underlying root cause of hyperinsulinemia and subsequently (years later) diabetes! If only we can use the right words (concepts) to understand things, we have a much better chance.
I can't believe I found this on UA-cam. I have been watching all your videos. My health in the last 21 days has taken a turn for the better. . Thank you so much for what you do
Thank you for the great video! It's very timely for me. I was just recently diagnosed and already so sick of the doctor visits, blood work, meds, and feeling like crap. Proper Human Diet starts now.
Thank you Dr berry love how you don’t sugar coat it and just lay it out for us in a sensible and understandable way👍 keep on telling the truth the way you do.
I reversed my T2 diabetes 2 years ago & have an a1c of 5.2 now without meds. I decided that I need my 10 toes until the age of 100 lol...
I fell off the wagon over the holidays and back on track as of yesterday. Dr Berry is always my go to for support, his no non-sense approach to health is priceless. Thanks Dr. B
I have pcos and I’m trying to change my lifestyle choices to not develop t2d. My grandmother had it and my mom has it now. Thank you for this. I will recommend every type 2 diabetic I know to your video! Thank you for being such an honest and caring doctor and just an amazing human being. It’s good to know that not every doctor is out to make a buck and that some genially care about the health of people. I instantly subscribed and liked. 👏👏👏👏
When I was diagnosed with T2D I was told to eat wholegrains and low fat diet. I was given Metformin, which my body did NOT like, and the dosage crept up over time. I was told the condition was chronic and would deteriorate. Then I found your channel, changed to a keto diet and intermittent fasting and now my body works as it should. Off medication and A1c normal. Thank you Dr Berry for gifting me a normal life and helping me reverse T2D. I can have the occasional cheat day when I visit family, but straight back on keto when I get home.
I have just watched one of your videos for the first time and........it blew me away!
I realised that my weight loss program was making me feel better so I went to my GP (medical practitioner) and asked if he would let me try a keto diet.
Encouragingly, they said " your cholesterol; readings are good so you can probably be OK with the low carb high fat approach". Despite this not being the NHS doctrine!
Some 6 months later, (I have lost a total of 100 lbs in the last 3 years), I got round to telling my GP that I had not been taking my diabetes meds for 6 months (imagine what reaction I expected!) - his response? Are you monitoring your blood sugars and blood pressure? "Yes I said and they're both within good limits". Congratulations, you're no longer a Type 2 diabetic - and he removed all my diabetes meds from my patient profile!!!!!
It works!!!@!
This video explains and confirms a lot of my diabetic experience. I have managed to lower my A1C from a high of 14 and taking 4 metformin and 4 glipizide in 2018 to 5.5 with no medication today. My goal is A1C under 5.0
Thanks, Dr. Berry. We are so lucky to have you and your encouragement. Hope is a powerful state of mind.
Thank you Dr Berry for addressing these issues. This is exactly what took my mom's life at the age of 49. Every lie mentioned in this short video is true. My mom died a painful death in Detroit she ended up going blind in one eye and her kidneys shut down but she never made it to dialysis because she had a heart attack. They told her she can continue to eat what she wanted and that fruit was a free food so she would stuff as much fruit down her gullet as she could and sometimes eat a week's worth of groceries in a couple of days. Because of the bad advice she was actually starving to death by just eating a bunch of fruit and getting fatter and fatter every day. Her bodyweight got out of hand and made her sedentary which cause more problems and she was immobile. Having done research on Diabetes myself because I was told it ran in my family I figured that out a long time ago I have not now nor if I ever been a diabetic and I refuse to take insulin and have changed my diet because of her painful death.
So sorry you had to see that - it happens so often.
@@marthaadams8326 thank you
I am sorry about your mother. She made you strong. God bless you.
I'm so sorry you had to see your mom suffer so much because of bad advice!😢
I’m so sorry for your loss, and at the same time so happy you are choosing to take care of yourself. 🙏🏽
My partner believes all of these lies and gets angry when I try to get him to stop eating cereals, tinned fruit, bread, margarine, cooking oils, potato chips, burgers and fries and drinking beer. He also has a huge 'beer belly' and at 72 starting to show obvious signs of the health problems caused by too much insulin. He thinks 7 is a good number too. I'm 30 kgs overweight but I eat low carb and my number is 5 and he can't understand why I'm not a type 2 diabetic. I'm going to end up being his nurse and watching him slowly die and It breaks my heart.
I also see so many friends and familymembers suffer. But they just believe everything the doctors say, just like they believe everything what's in the newspapers and MSM.
@@euhdink4501 some people are just sheep, they believe the government, the doctors, MSM. Most people are lazy, they would rather take a pill and complain about feeling lousy all the time. I personally quit trying to help anyone.
The only thing now is take the best care of yourself, he will see you looking and feeling better.
Then at some point you say,
“So how do you feel?
How’s that working for you?
It’s never too late to improve your way of eating.”
My mom at 85 feels 50.
So sorry. Maybe he'll come around.
Must be frustrating for you. I like the Keto regime because I eat butter & hamburgers, use nut cooking oils & air fried Cauliflower. (Okay cauliflower isn't as good as potatoes.) But it's doable. Good luck.
I just want to thank you for putting truth out here. June 18 I had a minor stroke, diagnosis with t2d, A1c 10.3, b/s over 400 and b/p +200. Came across your UA-cam started watching and applying. Follow up appointment A1c 5.3, b/p 121/58, lost 14 lbs, fasting b/s 110-120 average. So thank you for the help, hope and honesty. All by changing my diet, I eat on purpose now.
Thank you, Dr. Berry I have learned more watching your videos on type 2 diabetes than I have learned from my actual doctor. You provide a true service and I will be following your advice.
Thanks for the truth! I started watching your videos in September 2021, after a severe case of Covid/Pneumonia and Influenza B, my A1c at that time was 7.3, down from 9.1, I weighed 250, today my A1c is 6.0, weight is 202#. Thanks for what you do!
I like how Dr Berry speaks in common terms and doesn't apologise for putting things bluntly. I have followed his advice for the past year and am now off all diabetes medication, no more statins and have lost over 15 kilo's in weight. If you have any doubt in what he is telling you, all you have to do is try to eat correctly and find out for yourself. What do you have to lose?
Kilos my friend and no much else.
Correct!!! I followed his advice and it works!!! My own dr need to listen to this video to help his patient bc he lost me. Yep he argue with me to up my meds so he is no longer my dr. He told me it was a progressive disease there is no cure only meds to control it that i have to take lots of meds for the rest of my life. It was sad bc he didnt offer any solution or advice just wanted to pump me up on meds and kept me on high carb diets to worsen my condition to keep me always medicatrd.
Statins are not diabetes medication. They are for cholesterol and very dangerous. I refuse to take them even though my PC practitioner constantly pushes them. My cholesterol is only 250.
@@wernerdanler2742 I didn't say statins were diabetes medication.
@@gkm3838 OK, but either way I'm glad you got off them because they are nasty.

Awesome information Dr. Berry. I just turned 61 years old. I’ve been doing a lot of wrong things for a long time. Your videos are opening my eyes to how I can correct some things I’ve been told and and implemented for most all of my life. At 61 it’s not to late to better. Thank you so much. 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you Dr. Berry, you explained more to me than my own physician. You give me hope that I can get rid of this by changing and maintaining my diet.
When I fall off the wagon with me diet, I always come back and listen to Dr. Berry. His enthusiasm gets me right back on track. From an a1c of 9.1
My doctor told me if I was diabetic I would always be diabetic even if I got my A1C down. Then he upped my metphormin up too 2000mg. My A1C has been dropped and the metphormin was really causing me problems so I ended up having to stop taking it cause the high dose was making me sick. Then I saw a different doctor and he told me I was not diabetic anymore. That he wasnt going to make me take metphormin. So much for always being diabetic.
YAY!
I hope you drop the impression that a doctor ‘makes’ you take anything. You don’t need your doctor’s permission to be an active participant in your own health decisions. No one ‘makes’ you take a med. Your doctor prescribes it, you agree or disagree to take it. That’s an important concept, otherwise you set yourself up as a victim.
@@mR-dc4oq Agreed! Same as when the doctor tells me: "I'm going to give you ....." . Gee thanks doc. Even here in Canada, meds cost a fortune.
My doctor actually removed these diagnoses from my medical chart after having such great success with low-carb eating: type 2 diabetes, GERD, hypertension, and IBS. The tendencies will always be there, but for now (and hopefully forever) they are gone.
@@mR-dc4oq well when I realized I was having issues from the medications I stopped on my own and then contacted him about it. I was getting frustrated in feeling like he was blindly just giving me meds without really making sure that is what was right for me. I wanted to believe he had my needs in mind and the best intentions for me.
was just diagnosed 2 months ago. i appreciate you and this channel more than you know.
My A1C was 6.7 and over the last five months I’ve brought it down to 5.2 by eating no simple carbs, no sugar and healthy meals. I’m also down 56 pounds in that same time frame.
That's awesome. I'm starting no sugar and low carbs now. We've got this!!!
This presentation is great. I'm glad to learn these myths (lies) you have mentioned. They pretty much were all presented to me in the past. I was sure I'd be dead by now, but I'm not! I started Keto a year ago (lazy keto) to see if I could lose internal weight. Not knowing what to look for with that, I have assumed that itust have worked. My tests have gotten better. And I lost about 20 lbs as well. Didn't think I needed to lose that, but I did. My A1C is fine, so far. I have loweredy I take of insulin from around 30 units to 8 a day. My CKD has also lowered as well. Not much, but still... My current doctor wants to check all of that stuff and then will determine if I can back off of the insulin. I'm hoping that's the case. Keto really helped me with this. I didn't expect that positive a change but there it is.
In addition to checking the A1C, you should also get a HOMA-IR test. It checks for insulin resistance. Diabetes is stage-3 insulin resistance. Stage 2 is pre-diabetes. So if your insulin resistance is elevated, you can catch it early and never get to stage 2 or 3.
Thank you for this! I just got off the phone with my sister, after an argument where I was insisting that adult-onset diabetes is ALWAYS lifestyle-based. She insisted that it is genetic. I found your video and sent it to her. It's so frustrating when people use the "it runs in the family" excuse when it's completely under their control! 😡
Mostly self induced. Except for the FDA and Food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies along with paid government officials who conspire to make people sick and fat to make more money for themselves. Sick= medications Obese= special needs and devices, walkers, wheelchair, surgeries, dialysis, etc
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Family Motto for too many people!
Many diabetics say this cause that's their excuse to continue to eat their donuts and muffins in the morning with their sweet creamers and dessert at night. As long as they don't believe that it is curable by their diet, then they don't have to face it and change it.
Type 2 is usually lifestyle related... but, I know two adults who had been sick and then were diagnosed as type 1 diabetic. Whatever they had, had damaged their pancreas
Working on reversing my type 2. Down 68 lbs since starting on my journey. Thank you for all your help and information. Feeling much better. BS are stabilizing.
WOW thank you Dr. Berry. I have had type 2 for 35 years and now I understand what I need to do to stop this. Thank you so much Dr. Berry, I will pass it along to anyone who want's to stop type 2 diabetes. You are a blessing to all of us.
I'm so glad to have your channel on my UA-cam subscription, every time good news. Great success with my patients!
Awesome!
Your advice saved my diabetic friends life thank. Not only did you save him but you saved his leg and improved his life
There needs to be laws passed to punish doctors and their organization cohorts for giving out false information to their patients. This should be for any position that is deemed to be affecting the public.
I agree it's criminal
"Managing" disease rather than curing it is the most profitable business in the history of mankind. Why would big pharma tell people to change their diets when they can make Billions selling pills
I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Scared the heck out of me so decided to reverse with diet and I/F. Lost 120 lbs., and no longer need blood pressure medication. My A1C is 4.9 🤗🤸🏼

Well done you! Amazing ..l bet you feel better 🎉
July 2020 my A1C was 12.4
December 2021 my A1C was 5.6 with no medication. I’ve lost between 70-90# (I’m not sure because I don’t know what I weighed at my heaviest). All thanks to keto and IF. THANK YOU for the content you put on social media for us to see and learn!
Everything you just said is absolutely true and I wish more people understood the terrible damage people are doing to their bodies by not controlling their diet.
Great video Dr. Berry 👍
Your videos are never boring, I've always enjoyed and have learned many things or at least something them! My last A1c was 6.0 and I'm trying to get it to 5.5 and am NOT giving up!
I'm one of those skinny type two diabetics! Unfortunately, I'm from a slender generation but most were, and are type two diabetics; I eventually joined but as I've already said I'm NOT EVER giving up!
Thank you and God bless 🙏 ❤
I’ve told a lot of friends about you and Neisha Dr. Berry. Eight couples (friends) are now doing Keto and watching your videos.
Was a laboratory scientist all my adult life. Believed the lie. It was only after i had gastric bypass surgery at 65 and went on their diet of protein first, then vegetables and carbs only if your still hungry did i realize the lie. My diabetes, gout, psoriasis, high blood pressure and knee pain totally went away. If i’d known about fasting and carnivore diet first i would have done it.
Mother Hubbard , thank you for the comment. Now, I'm going to look into the eating plan that doctors give to people after gastric bypass surgery.
Additional to note is that I've heard that people, who lose weight after gastric bypass surgery, can gain all the weight back and be obese if they eat the wrong things
Thanks for exposing these lies. Yes, many physicians say people deserve to eat what they want!
I got a libre 2 AND stared taking your advice on eating low carbs more keto like.....my insulin use went way down and I started losing weight. My A1C is down to about 6.7......down from 13 when I was diagnosed 1.5 years ago. You are speaking truth.......and spreading hope to those with type II diabetes.......Thanks!!!
When I reversed my type II diabetes, after being excited about hearing the news.. I looked at the nurse and said "I thought you said this was an irreversible disease?".. she shrugged and said "well maybe you were just prediabetic, it can't be reversed".
Cognitive Dissonance, right?
Doctor told me the same. First time I ever cried in a Dr's office. She wasn't lying to me, she just didn't know any better. Shame my mom was there with me, because she hasn't learned about these lies like I have and we argue all the time.
"miss diagnosis"...the usual crap out of doctors m
Yeah, the disease is reversible but the diet is not. My health issues mean I can never go back or slack off. Luckily, it's only miserable when you want to eat instead of a disease that makes every moment miserable.
Does "reversed" mean you are on no diabetes meds "At All "? For ever?
My sister is a T1 diabetic. The latest ‘truth’ she’s spouting is don’t worry about the amount of sugar and carbs you eat, you can just take insulin to cover it. I about fell out when she said that.
I had a friend who did that. I visited him in a nursing home and later in the hospital where he died a day later. If he had changed his diet he would have lived a longer happier life.
I had a friend die of diabetic complications during covid. He had both lower part of his legs amputated. He loved social interaction. Dying with very little visiting allowed if any.
I was a camp nurse last year and I was appalled that one little 10 year old camper with type 1 diabetes was told to eat whatever he wanted and just cover himself with more insulin. He had a specific formula from his doctor to follow. The first day at camp his sugar was over 500! This is the growing theory now of how to treat juvenile diabetes. I often wonder what the long term damage will be.
I'm in the middle of losing a friend to T2. Buys the lies real hard. I stopped arguing, they moved away, but not until after I got a call asking me for a ride from the hospital after a heart attack and quad stent. I bought two big bags of the least-harmful groceries I knew they would eat, to allow more time to rest and heal, but if we talk about recipes, I still hear more about "whole grain" whatever, and similar nonsense, than what people should eat.
I am a NODAT(New Onset Diabetes After Transplant) diabetic, the last few months I have dramatically altered my diet cooking all my meals not eating more than 50 or 60 carbs and managed to drop my A1c from >14% to 7.5%
Thank you so much for being absolutely blunt and doing this video!!! So helpful!!!
It's so ironic that the Google/UA-cam ad engine serves up an ad for Cheerios with this video. Thank you Dr Berry for delivering sound, truthful medical advice👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for delineating between Type 1 & Type 2.
Thx for spreading some hope instead of more doom and gloom. Thanks for the lifeline.
I suffered for YEARS unknowingly when I was finally diagnosed with T2D in 2015. At the time, the ketogenic approach was in its infancy. When I refused conventional treatment and decided to use keto and fasting to heal me, my doctor, at that time, discouraged me and was unsupportive. Thankfully, I stayed the course and have a normal A1C to this day of 5.4 in 2022
I feel fantastic! Lots of energy, no pain. I believed I healed at a cellular level. It's not just physically, but the mental clarity and well-being have been life-changing.
I got a type-2 diabetes diagnosis on April 6th of this year. I was prescribed metformin, which brought me to this channel. I started a low carb diet, intermittent fasting, and am averaging 13,000 steps per day. I weighed 347 lbs. at time of diagnosis, and am down 61 lbs. in just 64 days. Thank you for tge guidance Dr. Berry! I have twice visited a nutritionist who is telling me my weight loss is too fast, unsustainable, low carb diets have not been studied enough to know if they're safe, and I am risking malnutrition.
Thx you so much Dr Berry ...I daily recommend your videos to clients! Happy New Year😀
Great comprehensive list! 👍
Thank you for telling the truth. I'm a retired nurse and was taught all these in training. I only in past 5 years learned about hyperinsulinimia as I could not lose the weight needed to have my hip and knee replaced. Luckily I found a doctor who recognized what was going on with this started helping me make the necessary changes emphasis on diet and Am delighted with my new lifestyle and new joints.
I was told I had type 2 back in October and that scared me but with the advice from your channel and watching other doctors on UA-cam I have reversed my type 2 diabetes so yeah this can be done.
All great information! Thank you for opening my eyes. CTS (Carbohydrate toxicity syndrome) is a new term for me but it makes so much sense!!! Thank you Dr. Berry!
Thank you for this great video, thank you for sharing the truth 😊👍🏻
My A1C was 6.9 and a year later was still 6.9... I was told to keep doing what I was doing, so I did continue to eat cookies, rice, sitting around, fast food, etc...and a year later was 9.3. Now a month later after changing my diet, more exercise, learning from a friend about T2D is down to 7.7 and I feel is lower right now, but we're waiting for the next check up. I think I am on the right track, my sugar was 229 and now is 90-105 constantly. After some meals goes up to 117-120 but back down to low 100-90. Thank you for all your information and please keep them coming
The doctors advertising on Utube, that question this diet, are sellers of medications! You really have to be on your toes, when it comes to sources! Love this channel!
Agree with you 100%. Thank you for your research. Reversed my t2d following the phd. Not only that it just feels so right.
Thank you so much Dr. Barry for the work that you do it's so important for people who have been lied to by their doctors and their dietitians. When I was diagnosed with diabetes type II 34 years ago my dietitian told me to eat 1/3 of my diet in carbohydrates. I thought she was crazy. My A1c has stayed at 5.8 or 5.7 for many years. But I have seemed to have stalled out in making progress. i'm currently trying to start a carnivore diet in hopes that I can lower my A1c further.
When I was first diagnosed, I too was sent to a "diabetic nutritionist". She was the "expert" so I listened, my blood sugar went higher. So I examined my mother and my grandmother's histories. Both were type II. My mother believed all the lies and the ADA. She died at age 64 have every complication including amputations. My grandmother died in her sleep at age 84 and had no complications. The difference? She ate only meat and vegetables and only very very occasionally would have a bite of something on a holiday or something. She didn't go for the "diet ", "diabetic", "sugarfree" yada yada. She kept it simple. Who am I following? I have to admit, I was doing things my mom's way thinking I could do better until I smartened up. Unfortunately, my mom never stopped believing the lies and she spent the last 20 years of her life sick, overweight and miserable. My grandmother lived her life socially active, she travelled and was involved in community activities. She made living her life and not food. One thing about going low low carb-----------you don't crave the high carb anymore and not constantly starving. Makes it so much easier to keep your mind from going places it shouldn't.
I'm 100percent behind you. Weightwatchers did me no favours when I was trying to lose weight. Now I'm down at a weght I was when I left school over 50 years ago! (132 pounds give or take the odd pound). I'm doing low-carb and try not to go over 30 grams per day. It works, I came down from 5.3 to 4.3 within 3 months. No meds!!
i went from 255 to 218... i love keto this time #5 im not stopping no matter what.... my little brother got type 2,, his A1c was 11.7...
