Great stuff. Same results here. Im in shock that my doctors where not recommending this. 32y old and diabetic for 2 years now. I eat carbs only from lentils, home soaked (black) beans and home soaked chickpeas and veggies.

I would say a must have is a CGM and pump if you want any Type1 doing Keto..as even a basal likely will need to be reduced once doing Keto..Im a type 1 with both omnipod and dexcom..i literally has to reduce my basal and even my carb to insulin ratio for bolus ..Doctor-one suggestion I have is that companies like medtronics or dexcom or Libre should include Ketone reads backs along with BS readings..im not sure why they haven't considered this and it's crucial with Type 1.
@@rhdtv2002 Are you kidding...lol...those companies want you to shovel carb after carb in your mouth. That's their profit. Truthfully, if you are low carb to being with the use of a device is almost non-existent. The roller coaster of highs and lows stops and it's much easier to manage diabetes on a low carb diet, period.
As a Type 1 for 33 years, THANK YOU for studying this and putting helpful info out for us! It is such an endlessly hard disease, and low-carb diets make it a little more manageable. Still not easy or predictable- since fats and proteins also affect my blood sugar-but better 😊😊😊
i've read that chromium and vanadium helps diabetes in this book 'Dead doctors don't lie' written by Joe Wallach , and also a case story in 'Complete guide to fasting' by Jason Fung.
Fats don't effect blood sugar, that's what the whole keto diet is about. Proteins, carbs and sugar does though. Most fats come with protein like meats so it's probably the protein effecting your blood sugar.
Being a type 1 Diabetic, eating low carb for me has definitely helped a lot ! I would recommend this diet but eating too much protein can have a negative impact on B.S levels so keep that in mind ! But in general I feel this is great and it is about finding your own balance as we are all unique !
I find that the Keto diet is definitely working for me! My blood sugar levels remain very constant now. I was found to be insulin deficient a few months ago. I love low carb! ❤
Low carb is really a game changer. It's something that doesn't require any prescription and your body will thank you!! Drs. will be irritated at how wonderful your glucose is being controlled without their big pharma.
Saw a cookbook for diabetes published in 1916. Type I. No: macaroni, bread,pie,cakes, potatoes,sugar. Seems like we took a giant step back to finally take a step forward. Ol timey docs had the anecdotal evidence but not the scientific evidence
There were no drug or manufactured insulin options then. But they did have scientific evidence: people with Type I diabetes who did not stick to a strict diet of zero carbs DIED. Usually quite young. Type II was typically seen only in the elderly back then, but the same diet worked,.
I don't remember the name of it but I saw some medical journal or study from 1933 that clearly stated that studies found sugar is the cause of diabetes. I don't think we took a giant step back in terms of knowing the cause, they've always known. Probably not your regular doctor because they just follow what they've been taught but the top doctors who write the teaching material knew, this information was just deliberately hidden from us and the regular doctors.
Yes if you follow it, you will be healthy and you won't need to rely on pharmaceutical companies. Sick people make Drs rich. Healthy people live a rich life.
I was diagnosed with type 1 in 1970. I am finally getting really good control on a near-carnivore diet. Not one endocrinologist has ever given me good advice on my diabetes. In fact, leaving aside moral problems with the practice, eating only endocrinologists would be a better diet for me than anything any endocrinologist has suggested... one board-certified one insisted that eating under 100g of carbohydrates per day might endanger my brain...
They tell me the same thing whenever my daughter has her appointments. I have been pushing for them to let me try low carb diet for her for years. I'm about to just do it and let the doctors panic when they lose out on their commission for her insulin prescription.
@@saoirse_flies Why do you need anyone's permission to feed your body well? The endocrinologist makes money on your diabetes being unmanageable. They push and push higher doses, multiple devices and they refuse to discuss something as basic as nutrition. Try a functional medicine Dr. if you can afford to and they will set you up on an eating plan with optimal nutrition that will starve your diabetes off. If that's not an option, Google some yummy recipes and have a go at the low carb lifestyle. It will help you more than anything your endo has ever prescribed.
I have lost so much respect for endocrinologists. Keto has proven effective for long term on many levels for not only glucose control, but enhanced brain function. Less carbs in the blood makes for more focus in the brain and that's the truth. They want people to remain tethered to devices and big pharma prescriptions.

I have been T1 (for 21 years) on Bernstein diet (last 4 years), recently got a CGM, and do an analysis daily on the data, follow the guidelines by Dr Bernstein daily. It has reduced my average BG levels to a A1c of about 5.4% (average 5.8 mmol), virtually eliminated hypos (partly due to the CGM) and maximum postprandial excursions of typically less than 6.5 mmol. If you need any data logs of CGM data on a low carb diet, let me know! Keep up the good work, I only wish I learnt that carbs where not essential 20 years ago, instead of the standard (and what I consider blatantly wrong) dietary advise normally given to T1's. (also my weight has reduced to a steady optimum level, and energy, health, skin, etc all improved dramatically as a result of this dietary change)
hi Tony . I'm a 39 yr old T1D since 2003. Finger-pricking 4/5 times daily with a Medtronic pump for insulin delivery. HbaA1 is around 7.8% which is a steady improvement from high 8's. I still have porridge for breakfast most days, exchanged salads for baguettes at lunch (in recent years), but don't want to give up pasta/rice/potatoes with my dinners. Average about 200 grams of carb a day. That must sound like loads to you these days... I'm very active but am concerned about long-term health. Very interested in the Low carb diet but would rather, gradually reduce the refined element further than go full blown veg-to-replace flour. I'd love to get some of your insights that you've gained over the last number of years on the Bernstein diet.
Brilliant lecture. Going to try it. Type 1 for 41 years. Two amazing sons. Normal births. So grateful for my amazing life. Recently become insulin resistant and overweight and blood glucose control has changed. Also post menopause to add into the mix. GP keeps saying improve control or you risk complicatIons. Like I haven't been terrified of those since I saw people without their legs back in 1979 and tried my best to avoid! Why don't the docs say you're doing great so far but you could try this? Thanks for some hope. I have some very old diet sheets if you want a copy emailed?I'm in the UK.
How's it going so far Lynette? I'm in the UK too and my stepmum has had type 1 for about 20 years and is always in and out of hospital with ketoacidosis so I'm always looking for tips to help her control it better. After years of listening to doctors diet advice it will be hard to convince her low carb is good for her but if I can get real life experiences she'll probably be more open to it.
@@natb9919 I’ve been doing intermittent fasting if that helps and in those times my levels are so good! My a1c was in the 9%s, it’s in the low 6% now. So happy and I’m losing weight as insulin tells the body to store fat. So good
@@natb9919 After years of listening to Drs advice and you said she's been in and out of the hospital multiple times??? She needs to start thinking for herself and realize the Drs. get money from her being sick. If she wants her health, she must break up with the carbs. They are the problem.
Great 2 year old video. Definitely I'm not a type 1 diabetes! But on a low type carb diet. Type 2. Each diabetic is different on a low carb diet. But the main goal of it all is to have a steady even flow of insulin without having to do the crazy math calculation of how much insulin shots needed for a meal. I learn it's way easier on a low carb diet to still eat. But eat your food in a clean manner as much as possible. If you don't know if it's process or not. Don't eat it! Even good starchy foods can be misleading. Most of the foods I eat I have to prepare. No bread or less of it and pasta or rice and potatoes. The obvious stuffs are easy. Sugar. Fruits can be tricky too. Lots to learn! Lots of spices are great too. Less sugar and salt.
I'm from America. I got diagnosed with T1D when I was 12, 8 years ago. It was several years before I found out that normal people's blood sugars were like, A1C of 5.8 or 6. I was told to try and stay within 7-8. If that's not the normal range, why was that my aim? I just feel like I wasn't told the right things and it makes me upset.
Unfortunately, the nine studies all had tiny sample sizes (seven studies had less than ten participants, and the other two had only 48 and 49 respectively) and defined "low-carb" differently so it's really like comparing apples to oranges. However, it does highlight the pressing need for a proper study on the topic!
Probably good the study paticipant numbers are low. They need alot of guidance and supervision to be safe to begin with. Quality of care over quantity. Just look at the comments and how it is very possible. It's a good start to see this systemic review!
It's great that she took on the job of investigating a low carb diet for us, T1D's. It's been a couple of years, got any recommendations yet? ;) some preliminary dietary plan maybe?
You kind of have to make your own based on taste preference. If you can cut those carbs, it is life changing. You will NOT be dependent on the pharmacy.
I've recently experimented being on an extremely low carb diet less than 20g a day and my glucose reading have improved almost 100% only having a few lows... Why haven't I was informed of this since I was diagnosed 21 years ago? 🤔
Same here but I do remember that lady who trained me years ago on my insulin pump told me she takes about 10g of carbs per meal..ive gone to the 30g or less and like you my sugars are so much better control and I had to lower my basal rate and I don't really bolus even a 10g carb-.the less insulin and better eating is the way to go..
You weren't informed because for 21 years your Drs. have been getting rich off prescribing you medications and devices, as well as expensive appointments possibly every 3 months! It's a sick money game and they don't want you to be well. It's really not rocket science....cut the carbs and your body will thank you almost instantly.
Hi I want to give a positive feed I am in keto diet since a year almost, and I have drastically reduce my intakes , I am at the recent H1AC test at 5.7 stable since some time now, I am adding few dry fasting and hoping to reduce and reduce my insulin e intake . With patience. Thank you for your research and sharing.
Eat what the glucose meter says is the easiest is what I really do for type 2. No crazy calculation number figuring out the meal for my needs. It also tells me about the portions in my opinion that works for me.
I am a 80 yr old type 1 diabetic, with a ST. Judes Hrt valve. Diabitic since 1970, hrt valve in 1990. I Am 5'6", 153 lbs. and in good condition. BUT !!! Now live in WALES, where I think the medical staff is not able to assist me with the Diabetes needs that I want! I formally lived in the U.S.. What can I do?
My daughter has been diagnosed with diabetes T1 and has been told to have 240 carbs per day I was reading the comments and they said that 100 carbs a day is too high Now I’m very concerned, what are the doctors doing to my daughter as if she’s an experiment. ????
Doctors are paid commission for the drugs they prescribe. If you have a chronic rx for insulin, your prescribing doctor is getting paid for it. If your daughter develops any other rx-requiring conditions connected to her diabetes or resulting from too much insulin over time, they'll get paid for those drugs too. Your daughter's long-term illness is your doctor's long-term paycheck.
The Dr has kickback money for CGM devices, insulin, the pumps and hospitalizations etc. They want your daughter to be have the roller coaster highs and lows so they can prescribe more, more, more. It's all nonsense. Carbs are not necessary and it's healthy people that have been eating that way for years that can attest to that. It's a sad reality, but the truth is, Drs. make their $ by sickness, not your health.
It's how they do it, high carb low fat diet but they got it all wrong! Low carb is the way to go! Too much insulin over years which comes with high carb diets can also give bad health like fatty liver etc! 😢
What is considered low carb? Like, what’s the daily limit for carbs that would be considered ? I have been attempting for the past month, I started counting totals and before I was easily going over 300 a day, my type one is controlled but I wanted to change to low carb and become fat adapted as I have gained weight. Now I’m hovering around 100 a day average some less some more.
45 to 65% carbs in type 1 diabetes??? I had no idea. I thought LCHF was standard practice for type 1 diabetes. But I guess I should have known. Fat fear and carb love is standard practice in the medical world. Plus the farmaceutical industry will push doctors to keep telling their patients to eat lots of carbs.
Peter Faber my 8yr old daughter was diagnosed July 2018 and the Drs insisted 45-60 carbs per meal and 3 snacks of 15 carbs each!! The 4 days she was at the hospital her sugars were 200-400’s!!! Good thing we were on Keto before this happened or I don’t know if she would be with us. At home she’s never been those numbers!

Type 1 since i was 4 years old and now in my 40's. This is exactly what ive been looking for as feel that what ive been led to believe my whole life by the medical profession was very poor advice and poorly researched.
Type1 diabetic here. Following very low carb and only from natural sources (non-processed) i have perfect numbers, not taking any rapid insulin and looking to share my story with the scientific community. Big farma wont like this btw, as they wont be selling anymore insuline and needles XD
The thing that doesn't make sense in the pancreas hypothesis of D1 is how can someone go from extremely high levels of glucose and then few hours later go to exrremely low levels. Where did all the glucose go??? It has to be stored somewhere it cant just have been eliminated that fast. So it really doen't complete th reasoning here.
That's quite high, 50g or lower is better but if you're a type 1 diabetic yes, start with a high number close to what you already eat and decrease it slowly. I'm not a doctor though so please do more research before you start. The important thing if you're type 1 is to take it slow, don't drop your carb level drastically overnight.

I'm in the UK too and my stepmum has had type 1 for about 20 years and is always in and out of hospital with ketoacidosis so I'm always looking for tips to help her control it better. After years of listening to doctors diet advice it will be hard to convince her low carb is good for her but if I can get real life experiences she'll probably be more open to it.
You’re awesome! Man , I’ve had it since 3 and I hope I don’t end up giving it to my kids lmao.
@@natb9919 I’ve been doing intermittent fasting if that helps and in those times my levels are so good! My a1c was in the 9%s, it’s in the low 6% now. So happy and I’m losing weight as insulin tells the body to store fat. So good
@@natb9919 After years of listening to Drs advice and you said she's been in and out of the hospital multiple times??? She needs to start thinking for herself and realize the Drs. get money from her being sick. If she wants her health, she must break up with the carbs. They are the problem.
Great 2 year old video. Definitely I'm not a type 1 diabetes! But on a low type carb diet. Type 2. Each diabetic is different on a low carb diet. But the main goal of it all is to have a steady even flow of insulin without having to do the crazy math calculation of how much insulin shots needed for a meal. I learn it's way easier on a low carb diet to still eat. But eat your food in a clean manner as much as possible. If you don't know if it's process or not. Don't eat it! Even good starchy foods can be misleading. Most of the foods I eat I have to prepare. No bread or less of it and pasta or rice and potatoes. The obvious stuffs are easy. Sugar. Fruits can be tricky too. Lots to learn! Lots of spices are great too. Less sugar and salt.
I'm from America. I got diagnosed with T1D when I was 12, 8 years ago. It was several years before I found out that normal people's blood sugars were like, A1C of 5.8 or 6. I was told to try and stay within 7-8. If that's not the normal range, why was that my aim? I just feel like I wasn't told the right things and it makes me upset.
Unfortunately, the nine studies all had tiny sample sizes (seven studies had less than ten participants, and the other two had only 48 and 49 respectively) and defined "low-carb" differently so it's really like comparing apples to oranges. However, it does highlight the pressing need for a proper study on the topic!
Probably good the study paticipant numbers are low. They need alot of guidance and supervision to be safe to begin with. Quality of care over quantity. Just look at the comments and how it is very possible. It's a good start to see this systemic review!
It's great that she took on the job of investigating a low carb diet for us, T1D's. It's been a couple of years, got any recommendations yet? ;) some preliminary dietary plan maybe?
You kind of have to make your own based on taste preference. If you can cut those carbs, it is life changing. You will NOT be dependent on the pharmacy.
I've recently experimented being on an extremely low carb diet less than 20g a day and my glucose reading have improved almost 100% only having a few lows... Why haven't I was informed of this since I was diagnosed 21 years ago? 🤔
Same here but I do remember that lady who trained me years ago on my insulin pump told me she takes about 10g of carbs per meal..ive gone to the 30g or less and like you my sugars are so much better control and I had to lower my basal rate and I don't really bolus even a 10g carb-.the less insulin and better eating is the way to go..
Chronic sickness is a cash cow for the pharmaceutical industry that sells you your insulin.
You weren't informed because for 21 years your Drs. have been getting rich off prescribing you medications and devices, as well as expensive appointments possibly every 3 months! It's a sick money game and they don't want you to be well. It's really not rocket science....cut the carbs and your body will thank you almost instantly.

Hi I want to give a positive feed I am in keto diet since a year almost, and I have drastically reduce my intakes , I am at the recent H1AC test at 5.7 stable since some time now, I am adding few dry fasting and hoping to reduce and reduce my insulin e intake . With patience. Thank you for your research and sharing.
vitamin d deficiency is at the core of all autoimmune diseases including T1D. It’s not the only deficiency but a major one
This is so true. Thanks for sharing!
No sugar or refined carbs. Keto, intermittent fasting.
Eat what the glucose meter says is the easiest is what I really do for type 2. No crazy calculation number figuring out the meal for my needs. It also tells me about the portions in my opinion that works for me.
I am a 80 yr old type 1 diabetic, with a ST. Judes Hrt valve. Diabitic since 1970, hrt valve in 1990. I Am 5'6", 153 lbs. and in good condition. BUT !!! Now live in WALES, where I think the medical staff is not able to assist me with the Diabetes needs that I want! I formally lived in the U.S.. What can I do?
My daughter has been diagnosed with diabetes T1 and has been told to have 240 carbs per day
I was reading the comments and they said that 100 carbs a day is too high
Now I’m very concerned, what are the doctors doing to my daughter as if she’s an experiment. ????
Doctors are paid commission for the drugs they prescribe. If you have a chronic rx for insulin, your prescribing doctor is getting paid for it. If your daughter develops any other rx-requiring conditions connected to her diabetes or resulting from too much insulin over time, they'll get paid for those drugs too. Your daughter's long-term illness is your doctor's long-term paycheck.
The Dr has kickback money for CGM devices, insulin, the pumps and hospitalizations etc. They want your daughter to be have the roller coaster highs and lows so they can prescribe more, more, more. It's all nonsense. Carbs are not necessary and it's healthy people that have been eating that way for years that can attest to that. It's a sad reality, but the truth is, Drs. make their $ by sickness, not your health.
It's how they do it, high carb low fat diet but they got it all wrong! Low carb is the way to go! Too much insulin over years which comes with high carb diets can also give bad health like fatty liver etc! 😢
What is considered low carb? Like, what’s the daily limit for carbs that would be considered ? I have been attempting for the past month, I started counting totals and before I was easily going over 300 a day, my type one is controlled but I wanted to change to low carb and become fat adapted as I have gained weight. Now I’m hovering around 100 a day average some less some more.
45 to 65% carbs in type 1 diabetes???
I had no idea. I thought LCHF was standard practice for type 1 diabetes. But I guess I should have known. Fat fear and carb love is standard practice in the medical world. Plus the farmaceutical industry will push doctors to keep telling their patients to eat lots of carbs.
Peter Faber my 8yr old daughter was diagnosed July 2018 and the Drs insisted 45-60 carbs per meal and 3 snacks of 15 carbs each!! The 4 days she was at the hospital her sugars were 200-400’s!!! Good thing we were on Keto before this happened or I don’t know if she would be with us. At home she’s never been those numbers!
@@SandyLovesMarc Praise God you got this information. Of 6 in my family, 6 are diabetic, 2 T1s, 4 T2s. 3 are dead, one from DIRECT results of bad medical diabetic management.
I am the youngest in my family, and I am the healthiest at my age than anyone else in my family when they got to this age.
T1, insulin pump, very low carb, 43 years.
@@sigalsmadar4547 does the insulin make us obese? :(
Type 1 since i was 4 years old and now in my 40's. This is exactly what ive been looking for as feel that what ive been led to believe my whole life by the medical profession was very poor advice and poorly researched.
"Aim small, miss small."
Type1 diabetic here. Following very low carb and only from natural sources (non-processed) i have perfect numbers, not taking any rapid insulin and looking to share my story with the scientific community. Big farma wont like this btw, as they wont be selling anymore insuline and needles XD
Hey I'm also interested in your results. I'm type 1 too and wanting to change my diet.
@@MyFaithIsLikeARock Id be happy to share my results. I have been documenting my food aswel.
Tienes algo documentado ??
TY
The thing that doesn't make sense in the pancreas hypothesis of D1 is how can someone go from extremely high levels of glucose and then few hours later go to exrremely low levels. Where did all the glucose go??? It has to be stored somewhere it cant just have been eliminated that fast. So it really doen't complete th reasoning here.
jajajaja la glucosa va para las células
Dr. Beinstein is wonderful.
This very True but I want my waffles tho
Would 100 gr of Carbohydrates per day be OK?
That's quite high, 50g or lower is better but if you're a type 1 diabetic yes, start with a high number close to what you already eat and decrease it slowly. I'm not a doctor though so please do more research before you start. The important thing if you're type 1 is to take it slow, don't drop your carb level drastically overnight.

No. 40 grams for a stable metabolism for everyone.
No
its very simple. Eat to your meter. T1 or T2 it make no difference

PHD for this? I guess I have already 3 PHDs :)
This isn't my PhD work, it is a summary of the research component of my Master's degree :)
You seem to have a PHD in how to be a prick too.
Too vain humans!
@@drjessicaturton keep the torch burning for us type ones!! So proud of you for giving us a voice ...we NEED this research. If you need a lab rat (lol) for a study on type 1, im in.
