    I'm am a highly insulin resistant type2 diabetic I only eat avocados, olives and organic strawberries when in season. Any other fruits send my glucose levels soaring. Eliminating fruits, higher carb vegetable and starches (ketovore way of eating) has permitted me to lose weight and come off if insulin injections. I am proof that severe insulin resistance can be improved through dietary changes.

I now weight 188 and want to go into the 170's and possibly into the 160's someday. I do 3 day fasting sometimes but it's just mistly omad.

    Maqui berry should be one of the best fruits for diabetics to eat. Studies have found that maqui berry extract prevents blood sugar from rising, when taken before a meal; due to the delphinidums in the maqui berries.
    Green, unripe bananas are also one of the best fruits for diabetics. The resistant starch in green, unripe bananas hasn't converted to sugar yet. So it resists digestion in the small intestine (thereby preventing a rise in blood sugar), and then it feeds the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. And the beneficial bacteria in the gut then help to control your blood sugar.

    You shouldn’t look at food items in isolation like this as they metabolise differently in combination with each other. For example, add some Greek yoghurt to your fruit - it will flatten the glucose curve from the fruit considerably. Also, if you eat fruit (or any other carbs) after a fibre/protein rich meal - the spike from the carbs will be much smaller. You can also go for a brisk walk right after eating - no spike even following a carb heavy meal! I’ve checked this with a glucose monitor - and that’s coming from someone with a compromised glucose metabolism! Read the book Glucose Revolution. You don’t need to cut out all the foods you love - there are some simple tricks you can use to avoid those spikes. Ps. The only things you need to give up is highly processed foods and added/ refined sugar!

    After years of trial and error trying to figure out a proper diet for MY body I can eat avocados, olives, and a few tomatoes. The rest of fruit raises or spikes my blood sugar. Misdiagnosed for years is a thin type two when I’m LADA.
    I’ve also tried the little bit of lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon) in a water to “cleanse yourself every morning.” My blood sugar went from 85 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl.
    I’ve tried the raspberry and blackberries also. If I were to eat four- five of those my blood sugar would go from 82 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl in a heartbeat. When I tell Western medical doctors this they don’t believe me. They’re always telling me I’m doing something wrong. (come on now, you’re eating more than that)
    I’ve learned to ignore them and just use them for blood tests and to prescribe my insulin.

Maybe you can make a different video of which fruits , and food are good to eat if you have kidney stones. Thank you and God bless.♥️👍🏻😇🥑😍

    Thanks for this. A lot of information. I watch your videos regularly and am a subscriber. Overall, I keep my blood sugar around 110-130 and sometimes after a large meal I see it jump way up to around 190-200. What I cannot understand though is why sometimes, for no reason that I can figure out, it drops... precipitously, sometimes to 50-60... Usually in the afternoon and sometimes right after I exercise (which that part I do understand) but often it will drop for no reason in the middle of the day.

    Dr. Sten Ekberg: your scholarly videos on relevant subjects are matchless. Millions of people are benefiting from your this great work. In these comments, my point is: we have been told by all Keto experts from decades that Ketones are better efficient fuel than carb, and ketones are accepted by brain even without barrier but I was reading a book "Unlocking the Keto Code" which is authored by well-known Dr. Steven R. Gundry. I do hope: you too have already read this book. Dr. Steven R. Gundry argues in his book that Ketones are not a good fuel but ketones help us in another ways, which is: ketones decouple Mitochondria, and then some portion of energy is wasted. Instead of converting excessive energy into fat (which is cause of gaining weight), Mitochondria wastes its some portion, and then weight of person goes down. According to him, in this situation, Mitochondria creates more other Mitochondria in cell, and body becomes efficient. Dr. Steven R. Gundry also tends to show in his book that carb are better fuel than Ketones, and nothing is wrong in eating carbs. He says: Important is to keep eating windows tight.
    I appreciate, if you can spare some time, and upload your new video which discusses this whole subject in the light of Dr. Steven R. Gundry's book "Unlocking the Keto Code" - thanks

    @drekberg just want to say thank you for what you are doing. i have learned more about my diabetes and how the diet i eat is slowly killing me by watching your videos than i have from being under the doctors in my country for the last 15 years. god only knows how much damage has been caused to my body in the years that i have been mislead and confused by the advice i have been given by those that are supposed to be helping me. I have really struggled to understand why no matter what i have done using the advice from the doctors, my diabetes has been up and down and totally out of control for years.
    i am able to understand far clearer the things i need to change to get my diabetes under control. i have begun eating leafy greens and avocado as part of my staple diet. im eating the naturally fatty meats and have removed bread, pasta and rice almost completely and i am monitoring the difference in my blood glucose to see how much of a difference these changes are making. i can tell you that my average glucose levels have dropped from just over 17mmol to 5.7mmol within a week of making these changes..
    I would love to get a diet sheet from you to help me to create meals that are going to help me, but right now i am just trying to do this by watching the videos.
    thank you again for your informative videos.

    Dr. Ekberg. I have hypo (but not hashimoto!), as we are at risk of IR because of metabolic syndrome, I am really paying attention; I think everyone should eat as if we had IR! My diet was always quite good, except for holidays, and sometimes overwork/stress eating.. always active, lot of sports, exercised.
    At age 50, after losing my husband to heart attack (he was running marathons/was very active), I got hypo + realized I have NO space for even slightly more fruit!! Virtually! I really researched everything about the topic, after I realized what it does to our body, no way I will eat something not good.. I do not even want to! At all!

    Fructose is the liver killer just like alcohol, I understand now.
    They CONSTANTLY SAY "You can eat fruits and veggies as much as you like" in any diet program and that IS a very misleading info! I stopped to drink "healthy juices" and a "MIRACLE" happened; in 3 months I lost 25 lbs without changing anything else. Now I will work on to heal my liver more.

    Question: I used to do juicing. I would cold press with the following recipe - 2 apples, 2 oranges, 2 peaches, 2 stalks of celery, 2 lbs of carrots a container of spinach, 2 English cucumbers. Much pulp remained in the juice providing a bit of fiber. I always felt so good after drinking a juice. How do you feel about juicing? This recipe made a lot so I wasn't close to drinking 2 apples of juice. I'd get about a working weeks worth (5 days) of 3 times a day drink. I was watching a video with a gentleman who is type 1 diabetic and he showed his diet. He has a green drink with each meal. I'd love your thoughts as I never felt as good as when I juiced.
