Dr. David Unwin - 'Can we beat T2 Diabetes? HOPE on the horizon'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- Dr. David Unwin is GP based in Southport in the United Kingdom. After 25 years of attempting to treat diabetes by conventional methods, Dr. Unwin was introduced to low carb nutrition through one of his patients and the website www.diabetes.co.uk
From this revelation, Dr. Unwin now ignores official advice and treats his patients with a low-carbohydrate diet. Since adopting the approach, his practice now spends £50,000 less each year on drugs for diabetes than is average for his area.
Dr. Unwin is the RCGP National Champion for Collaborative Care and Support Planning in Obesity & Diabetes, as well as a Clinical Expert in diabetes. In 2015 he won the North West NHS ‘Innovator of the Year Award’ and in 2016 he won the National NHS 'Innovator of the Year Award' for his work in treating diabetes with a low carbohydrate approach. - Наука та технологія
I listened to your talk on non fatty liver disease.
That was me, 20 years of being told I have fatty liver, high cholesterol & hyper insulin.
Low carb / keto has fixed all of that.
I now am working on my auto immune and trying carnivore.
My asthma has gone also
I love all your presentations. You have a kind voice...easy to listen to and learn. Thank you. 😊
Dr. Unwin, you are a delightful speaker, and the care you have really comes through in your presentation. I fall off the wagon every once in a while, but low carb is the way to go!
What a lovely, caring doctor he is. Truly changing lives.
These are amazing results. Well done. This should become national dietary policy for those with diabetes. Yet we still have diabetes guidelines advising people to still eat massive quantities of carbs!
The 'official' diabetes guidelines are spread by corrupt people. They are lies. Follow those guidelines and you can be sure to get a serious metabolic disease, which plays right into the hands of more corrupt people: those in the pharmaceutical industry. Meanwhile, people who believe the lies will spend their money on carbohydrates, and thus fuel the coffers of big 'food' corporations that stuff supermarkets with their disease-causing products.
The 'official' or authoritative institutions also recommend 'vegetable' oils. Basically, you'd be quite healthy if you do the exact opposite of what they recommend. This is in general a wise path to take in life: do the exact opposite of what the authorities tell you to do...
@Ali Mdn How do you account for the success of Dr Unwin? But if insulin resistance is the problem then the obvious course of treatment is to reduce the need for insulin by reducing the carbs.
That's true, even my doctor still suggesting me to eat carbs... Oh God...
I love your Witty since of humor and how fun you make learning thank you
So hopeful about Dr. Unwin’s message. I so pray the world will embrace this proven answer.
I have no problem maintaining a keto diet. It is pretty simple, though you end up tending to limit the variety of your diet. I find hunger control comes from adjusting the level of fat in my diet. Nevertheless, even if you don't lose a ton of weight, losing a ton of HbA1c is the real issue. If that happens your cholesterol becomes irrelevant because good blood glucose levels means low LDL glycation, which is the real cholesterol nasty.
I so enjoyed this talk. The power of using a paradigm of hope instead of fear and compliance!!!
You are a national treasure! Actually an international treasure!
Brilliant, as always Dr. Unwing!!!
Fantastic job! Excellent presentation.
Great info...Thank you
I wish more doctors would follow your example
What a wonderful man!
WONDERFUL presentation & inspiration. Thank you.
DR Urwin is a genius. Sadly, the majority of GP's are out o touch with current reality and all they think about is prescribing drugs and collaborating with big pharma. All my GP cares about is putting me on Satins as my LDL is high. Despite the fact that all my other blood markers are excellent, he is insisting on me taking statins. He did not even take my blood pressure or test my urine. The service or diabetes in my practice is scandalous.
It is like another Afghanistan. We need practical and accessible information that patients easily understand. We need to lock up the food manufactures , put them on trial. Your presentation is so informative.
Absolutely brilliant presentation .
Best T2 remission talk ever! Thankyou Dr Unwin.
Fantastic!
EXCELLENT - so encouraging
amazing...... i cannot stop listening to you Doc.....
Dr. Jason Fung has been helping his patients for years to get rid of their type 2 diabetes through intermittent fasting. He also stated in one of his video's that the Keto diet is expensive, complicated and if you don't live in a big city, some of the foods are hard to get. I can definately attest to that. I got rid of my Insulin resistance through intermittent fasting.
What is expensive and hard to get?
Thanks for this info! What were you eating in your eating window?
What's difficult and expensive to find re green leafy veggies, fresh meat, fish, eggs, nuts, beef dripping etc. KETO is as cheap or expensive as you want to make it. I've probably reduced our food bill by at least 30% on keto.
KETO and Fasting both help to lower insulin. I've just started combining both - Keto lowered my insulin thus sugar crashes and hunger along with 18:6 fasting and now after 2 years I've started to do extended fasting wouldn't be able to do this with KETO.
T2D in remission within in 6 months of KETO 65lbs lost, 20lbs to go.
I have diabetes but I'm no longer diabetic - agree eating pizza will raise your BG that's due to the CARBS, eat a block of butter and see little BG response.
Insulin is the fat storing hormone, carbs RAISE insulin [as does protein], fat barely spikes an insulin response. I've put my diabetes into remission by eating a diet where 80-90% of my energy intake comes from FATS., abt 5-8% protein the remainder carbs.
@Ali Mdn Pizza is carb loaded. What do you think the pizza base is? One big slice of flat bread. A lot of carbs. Plus the fillings depending on what fillings are put on top.
Fantastic thank you 😀😀
When will the food marketing people get the message that low fat isn't necessarily healthy and high fat unhealthy? Adverts on TV and food packaging perpetuate the myth.
A few years ago the Daily Mail published a story stating that saturated fat had no link to heart disease and how LCHF was a better choice of diet. It all seems to have been forgotten again.
At a recent visit to my surgery the nurse told me to cut the fat from my diet when my triglycerides & LDL were found to be high. I'd come off the LCHF diet a few years ago and I was hammering the rice and bread again. So I know the answer.
The food companies DO know all this. They want to make profits for their shareholders. CEOs who start to lose money get fired.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks. 3 months of low carb - went from an a1c of 9.0 to 5.8. Not sure how that transposes to mmol/mol.
Bob W these are the non US figures. For some reason the US use what the rest of the world us for AC1. If you want it in /dl multiply by 18.
Thanks from pastryshack this doctor is so honest an clever. I just came across his vlog as a 2, I was listening to this America dr McDougall who wrote the strachovour book. Which drives me mad, because ever recipe in his book raises my sugar tremendously. He is such an arrogant man you just can't talk to him. It's his way or the highway. The funny part, the recipes in his book does not make sense. I quit school at 16 but I feel reasonable smart
What is the best blood test for diabetes?
Introduce patients to intermittent fasting, keto way of eating, high healthy fats, and Autophagy...
Also read “Finding Ultra” by Rich Roll.
I just followed you on Twitter.
Teaching Doctors to change what they believe.
Love listening to you. Light hearted intelligence
My father have had high BP for 10 years, got a heart attack a years ago. Got put on both BP reducing and statins and was told by the doctor that he will never be able to stop using the medications, he is in his early 60s and I mean what kind of a mentality does the doctor have to tell a patient that? in regards of hope
Look up Ivor Cummins and Dr Aseem Malthotra [UK cardiologist] on UA-cam xx
I was on HBP pills for 9 years. Went keto, no longer take meds for T2D nor hypertension and lost 50lbs.
Check out Dr Fung and Dr Longo on intermittent fasting. It cured my BP issues. Got rid of my extra 10 lbs. (mostly visceral fat) that years of regular diets never did. I do it every day with hardly a thoght about it. I just wait to eat my first meal at 11am or 12., usually nothing after 8p.m., and watch out for too much carbs. I have maintained the perfect weight since October (when I refused to take BP meds) almost without effort. It cured the pb problem and it cures insulin resistance.
Iam a 42 years old and have T2D for the last five years and I tried to fast for a month with only one meal a day ..I have lost some weight but my blood sugar is not getting down ! if anyone has an explanation for this ? please ..
Have you also tried eating very low carb? Basically only meat products, eggs, cheese, butter, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, green vetetables and such? Also, when you're fasting make sure you're not eating anything and limiting drinks to water tea and coffee. I'm curious if you see improvements
Low carb. . Very low. It takes awhile. . It took decades to wreck your metabolism by diet. It might take a year or more to reverse it. But the carbs have got to go. Good luck!🍀🍀
Have you got a glucose monitor? What you should do is clean eat meat for a week (as they do for allergy tests) then slowly introduce other foods, like fruits and veg. Anything that shoots your blood sugar up super high, don't eat. Once you go into remission you can slowly and carefully reintroduce those foods. I did this and discovered my insulin resistance is extremely high meaning even a few peices of lettuce or 5 strawberries will send it skywards. Until I get it undercontrol they're a no for me. It's taken a long time to get to this point as I got sick of taking advice on Diabetic and healthy veggie eating which made my sugars go mental and made me go from pre Diabetic to full T2. We're having to fix it all on my own, because I want to be alive to watch my kids grow up and no advice have I ever gotten had made a single improvement... they only made it worse.
I see insulin resistant people who have to urinate often. They then show low potassium.
Their doctors tell them to eat lots of bananas, making the problem even worse.
I suspect that the frequent urination is leaching out their potassium. Just my own theory.
People in keto need potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium because they expel heaps of water, hence the large intake of leafy greens.
LOw calorie diets can work, but can anyone stay on one?
I understand that most people who try that end up gaining more weight?
I would not be able to do that.
that's true but low carbs is really low sugar, you get your calories from healthy foods instead of starchy foods.
I can not see how you can gain on a low carb diet. Without the fructose loading you just do not feel like gorging yourself with more and more food. Fructose suppresses leptin which tells us we are full. As a result most foods have added sugar, to make you want to eat more. Good business model. On my low carb diet I lost about 25 kgs in a few months and have kept it off for nearly a year.
I spend much less and no longer have food wasted from spoilage. I and most carnivore now. Eat pastured meats and eggs and dairy, nose to tail from local farmers.
@@coweatsman Really ? It’s very easy to gain weight on a low carb diet. Imagine eating your low carb diet which we can assume is perfectly balanced vs your energy demand
No we add extra fat ( which is the most highly calorific food there is) sat 25 g of butter or olive oil to your daily food intake.
25 g butter a day very easy to eat actually - around 180 calories.
So a lb of fat is 3500 calories ( despite what some idiots on the internet will tell you who are confused about the calories in a lab of fat and other mechanisms impacting weight loss)
So it’s easy to see how you could gain 1 lb of body fat in a 3 weeks on a low carb diet
It’s not the CARBS - it’s the CALORIES!
Yes. May need to add fasting to the mix.
What about skinny people with insulin resistance?
I don't live very far from you, I live in St' Helens, about 25 miles as the crow flies. I am a diabetic. I did Low - carb about a year or so ago, I lost weight, my diabetic results were low and the nurse was VERY pleased, But, I slipped off the wagon until late last year (2019) when I was diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic - Cirrhosis of the liver I believe the two are connected.. Also there also maybe some connection to Covid-19, I've had what I believe is a mild dose - well, I'm still here, but I thought I'd better get my health sorted out as I will be 70 later this year. I've had diabetes for over 10 years. I've had a dry cough for 3 nonths, lost my sense of smell, but it's coming back now, and I have felt cold all this winter. Believe me, Low-carb works, I believe it could possibly have saved my life.
Ann Harrison : YOU KNOW THE SOLUTION - LCHF. You got this. Get back on track and thrive with good health . Slow and Steady wins the race.All the best. :-)
Lively as a cricket! That's what I want to be.
TLDR; How does Dr.Unwin's diet proposal different from Keto?
What can diabetics drink?
I've been enjoying this video until I reach the point where he says you need glucose for energy, which and the modern interpretation of diabetes is negative negative negative!! Only two organs in the body use glycogen for anything and they only need a little bit of it and that is the heart and the Brain, and they only need about the equivalent of 3 grams of carbohydrates to do that, and they will get that from fat, and not from carbohydrates! There are always exceptions to the rules, and the one rule in diabetes is carbohydrates are not needed by the body.Period. the only thing the body needs for energy is ketones come in before anyone goes out what about ketoacidosis, that has nothing to do with ketones that's completely different
How does the fat become glucose?
"
The definition of Gluconeogenesis is given below
The biosynthesis of carbohydrate from simpler, non-carbohydrate precursors such as Oxaloacetate and Pyruvate is called “Gluconeogenesis“.
(or)
“Synthesis of Glucose / Carbohydrates from Non-carbohydrate precursor molecules.”
www.biochemden.com/gluconeogenesis/
I heard that red blood cells need glucose because they don't have mitochondria. It is a moot point though. The body makes whatever glucose you need.
A guy "fasted" for over a year. The quotes are because he took vitamins. Man those glucose lovers must hate that guy.

If muscles don’t need glycogen why do all the elite cyclists in the world dial themselves on carbs. Because that is how muscles perform the most effectively.
Look at these cyclists and you may notice that they are on the lean side of the average. In fact often around 7-10% … how is this possible I hear you ask … well it’s called exercise and Calories in v Calories out.
No Ketosis involved at all here.
Watch the video at 1.75x or at least 1.5x The presentation is informative, but straggling.
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) is a dominantly hereditary disease that is increasing and the doctors are the reason of the pandemia adequate food, exercise (walking) meditation
Dora Mendoza MD PHD
Funny, none of that advice worked for me. Maybe you need to pay attention to patients and how thier blood sugar levels actually react to foods.
Really? 🤨Nobody’s paid me yet, everyone has their price!
Pesamistic.
He was only joking, for goodness sake.
Goddamn, the message may be life-saving but the delivery will put me into an early grave. As a non-geriatric, I'm out.
Why not just play at 1.25x?
you need to cut this down way way way way tooooooooooooo long just get to the point
set playback speed to 1.5x, might help slightly
How can someone so educated misunderstand so badly? I’ll just stick with all the rice and lentils I want with my A1C of 4.5 and my fasting insulin of 58pmol/L. My insulin works because my cells aren’t f’d Feel better with your sugar readings and enjoy your CVD and colorectal cancers .
Ian Chabot he is talking about people who have T2DM - and reversing it - these are people who have a disease which is reversible with diet - you obviously are in a good space and healthy - good luck to you 😃
Why the bile? Don't you want people to get well? Who cares what path if it works.
Wow. I love lentils and rice. I will research your claims.
Ian Chabot He’s had huge success in his NHS practice reversing t2 diabetes and obesity. He reduced the drugs bill for the surgery by over £50k per year. He even reversed heart failure in a patient by putting her on a low carb regime. The National Health Service would not allow a doctor to continue practicing if he was harming rather than healing his patients.
Cruel-hearted.
