My doc said I am prediabetic, so I am working on it. I've only seen a couple of your videos and am learning a lot. Although it is a lot to take in all at once, I thank you for sharing all your advice. I am sure it will help me not become a diabetic if I keep working on it. 🌷
I’m trying intermittent fasting and it’s really working. I’m fasting 16/8. Its so easy b/c it doesn’t cost money, I don’t worry about calorie counting, just my portions. It’s the first time in months that my weight has gone down. 245lbs. Down to 227 in 2 months. I’m definitely sticking with this.
What makes it easy is the fact that you count the time you are sleeping. All you need to do is skip breakfast if you can. I eat my afternoon around 6:00 and I don’t eat anymore until 11:00 a.m. That’s pretty easy.
I eat low carb and do intermittent fasting (stop eating at night). I also cut out sugary foods, pasta, and bread most of the time. My glucose levels have been great since following that! But its a lifetime change so I have to follow that.
@@ciri51 As soon as you have a diet change It doesn't take that long for body to adjust within a week You should know in your body, avoid eating to bed, it's quiet important
I stopped eating pasta, rice, white potatoes, sugar, juice, no dairy except low fat cheese, no salt, fats except for avocado. type 2 diabetic with an A1C 6.3 and before that it was 5.7. Being unable to excercise I got my A1C down to 5.4 by watching my diet. My husband reitred and started cooking A1C 6.3. It will be checked again in January. I had not eaten corn or peas at that time. They were not part of my diet. I have never taken medication for diabetes and I always kept a record of everything I ate and how many carbs it was. Never ate over 45mg carbs any meal, no salt over 140 mg but did not eat salt. Sugar in food had to be 4 or 5 mg. The right food is very important. Thank you very much for a very educational and informative video. I appreciate it very much.
Great video. What I do to lower my sugars pretty fast is a hot cup of cinimon sticks (the loose type), bay leaf, and lemon. It usually drops my sugars at least 20-30 pts within 30 minutes.
That only lowers the concentration of sugar in our blood and does not affect the amount of sugar and insulin . Drinking anything won't ever lower blood sugar it will only slow down rate of insulin spike , ( reasons :- HIIT training and saunas increases blood sugar because of loss of water in blood ) so only method to lower blood sugar is to use the energy by anything physical
Your altruistic personae, logical and organized presentations, precise diction of English as a second language, compounded with your intellectual propensity to gather helpful tools, instructions, and information regarding CGM'S--all of these qualities rank you as a MASTER EDUCATOR. My hat goes off to you! YOU ROCK! I am directing my clients who use a CGM to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for supporting the diabetic community who already contend with many health and life challenges. You make a positive difference their lives. ❤
Excellent video! Been dealing with DM1 for 22 years and being a ICU RN I see so many people come into the hospital with DM1 a disaster after 10 years of diagnosis. The difference between these individuals and the individuals who have no complications is, motivation. You either have it or you don’t. So grateful for videos like this that give me tips I might have not known!
I’ve been a Type1 diabetic since 1973. The one thing that has improved my hB1ac levels and high blood sugar overall is the Carnivore “diet” and taking Berberine. My A1c’s after 2.5 months on the Carnivore were 5.5, they should be about 4.9 after 6 months
❤Thanks for the information! I'm eating better, exercising, and have lost 11lbs. I enjoyed learning about healthy foods. I eat more protein, almonds, avocados, and salads. My sugar was 88 today; 90 minutes after eating.
I am Pre diabetes. My Doctor told me that I'm pre diabetes but she did not give me any medication. She said my blood sugar is not high enough to put me on drugs but she recommended that I should consult a Dietician. Which i did. I have been told to avoid surgery foods and Cabs. I have stopped eating white rice, bread etc. I sometimes eat wholemeal bread. I am seriously aware of Gi, foods. Most of the time now i Google the food to know the Gi before eating it. 😁😜. Now I'm used to it and it really helps me. You just need to be very serious. What i gained from this video is "Exercise". I will now be doing more exercise. Is it possible for me to permanently have normal blood sugar levels?
Yeah. Exactly👍. Pls maintain specially law carb at night and exercise at least 30 mints before or after dinner . I started now 2 times ,as I’m pre diabetes too, but my fasting sugars high and evaluate. So doctor suggested to do more exercise and cut specially at night carb. Hopefully it will be reduced.
@@DSD394 I am a diabetic but no meds. I was able to get my A1C from 11,5 to 5.8 by exercising day and night. I do not eat after 5 and all my carbs are eaten either in the morning or by noon the latest. I have to make sure I do not get kid ey disease. Drink lots of water and stay away from sweets as much as possible. I am 77, I only take a B12, and vitamin D pills. Good luck
Get a Constant Glucose Monitor if you can. It will help to keep you accountable. It like getting spanked when you eat stuff you shouldn't. It will give you positive results after excersiseing.
Night Highs: I was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and was then told by my Endocrinologist that it was a contributing factor to my BG highs because of the stress it produces on my body.
As a shift worker of 37 years, age16-55, that include 1800-0600 night shifts, 0600-1800, 0700-1900, I discovered I was type 2 diabetic at 44 y/old. Since then I've constantly struggled to keep my blood sugars under control, even using metformin and cutting out raw sugar and white carbs, naughty snacks. I know 3 other guys at work who have done roughly the same, 30-40 years of shift work, All have become type 2 diabetic between 40-50 years old and are struggling to keep their blood sugars low, despite meds and changes in diet. My diabetic nurse told me, shift work massively promotes type 2 diabetes, especially night work and over many decades. After witnessing myself and my 3 workmates all being struck down with type 2 diabetes in their 40's and 50's and not being to overweight, I'm realizing that shift work is a major problem and does contribute hugely to getting type 2 diabetes. My diabetic nurse told me that shift work and especially night work kills your body clock, your body clock doesn't function in a natural way. The problems created by not having your body clock function correctly include, eating meals at different times depending on what shift your working. Blood sugar levels bouncing all over the place because your food is being broke down at different times of the day, shift dependant. Your activity levels vary, dependant on shift. Poor quality sleep because of irregular hours and patterns. Erratic Appetite & food cravings because your body clock is screwed up. Toilet visits, urination and passing stools become irregular, shift dependant. Depleted immune system due to poor quality, irregular sleep patterns. Irregular blood pressure, shift dependant. Fatigue, feeling tired all the time due to shift changes, messed up body clock, badly regulated blood sugar levels. Decreased Serotonin levels, especially during night shifts, this plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire. I'm sure there's plenty of other contributing factors that are a type 2 diabetic's nightmare and make regulating your blood sugars near impossible, My diabetic nurse srongly recommended changing my work, getting away from shift work but I'm 55 y/old soon and it doesn't make sense financially/career wise at this late stage. Basically I have to ride it out for a few more years and manage my blood sugars the best I can with meds, diet and excercise and try and sleep well. I've shared all my experiences with shift work and type 2 diabetes here because most people are not aware of the link, Even most Gp's and medically trained people fail to mention it, hopefully in the future, recognition will become more apparent. As a last pointer, I'll share two things I use to help regulate blood sugars, they are NOT a miracle cure but help me gain a little more control. Within the first hour of waking up, I have a bowl of unsweetened porridge, dotted with ground ceylon cinnamon from a pepper pot. I also drink lots of straight water with a sliced lemon and one teaspoon full of raw organic apple cyder vinegar in a glass, topped up with more water throughout the day Note: If you choose to experiment with sliced lemon and apple cyder vinegar, MAKE SURE you clean your teeth afterwards as it's very acidic in nature. Good luck to everyone, thank's for the video.
I have been working night shifts over 20 years. I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. Not getting enough sleep I believe can contribute to diabetes.
@@joanramlogan9047 I'm sure Night shifts do help promote type 2 diabetes, especially if it's been over many years. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that being physically & mentally active throughout the night, when your body clock is wired up for sleep during darkness isn't going to be a problem long term. Circadian rhythms affect your sleep patterns as well as other ways your body works, like your hormones, body temperature, and eating habits. When they get out of sync, they might also cause problems with your health. They’ve been linked to different disorders including diabetes, obesity, and depression. The deeper you dig, the more you'll discover how type 2 diabetes and shift work, especially prolonged night shifts are beginning to be linked, I'm pretty sure given more time and more studies, the link will become more pronounced and understood in the future.
Yes,same here 12 hr shift ,2 hr traveling 14 hrs daily security guard working nights, Days has Ruined blood sugar liver pancreas and unable to control high blood sugar despite 8 tablets daily
Thank you very much for sharing. I don't work shift but I have a habit of sleeping irregularly (e.g. waking up at 3 am to read things or watch movies for 1 or 2 hours before going back to sleep again). I'm slim but got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes one time. Now I'm back to prediabetic but have to watch my diet and exercise. I have a question for you: do you and your night shift friends regularly exercise 4 hours per week? I suspect exercise has a lot to do with it. Working night shift means you're a lot less likely to be doing outdoor sports or other outdoor leisure activity.
It is simple... Chronic stress.. is whats affecting your glucose.. Manage your stress levels.. Cortisol + adrenaline surges are the main role in why the numbers are perceive as high... change your thoughts.. and change what you perceive as stress.. meditate and take vitamins and workout.. oh and Magnesium, Potassium, electrolytes.. because most numbers also get that high from dehydration as well.. especially if you are taking other pills... some medications are causing vitamin deficiencies in the body raising the levels as well..
As a type 2 diabetic who does keto and fasting, I too was having dawn effects almost every morning, so for a few months now I've been taking creatine a few hours before bed in a protein shake and since taking the creatine I no longer get dawn effects in the morning, now I'm not a Dr but this is what's worked for me, also keep in mind that i am very strict with myself in keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be.
Thanks for sharing. I'm 62 5'4 120 lbs so fasting for very long periods of time isn't for me because I just loose too much weight. I really appreciate your info on the use of creatine before bed because I have pretty high blood sugar in the morning but after I eat, usually around 1pm it will be in the high 80s or 90s which is very confusing 😔
I am. T2 and also in late stage PD, so exercise is very hard for me. I cannot fast for more than a few hours as some meds must be taken with food. Water here is toxic. But i do get help with supplements and herbs.
@3:36 Alcohol is not the way to go for a healthy lifestyle but if you do want to take alcohol on a night out without spiking BG, Spirits are the way to go. Spirits like Vodka, Whiskey or Rum diluted with water for instance will not raise BG levels at all… In fact these will probably lower BG levels while drinking but stay aware of BG levels because it can cause you to go low but you may not feel it x Stay safe everyone xx
Glad to find the channel. Lack of exercise, carrying too much weight got me here! One positive, attention to diet and exercise all good for longevity. Subscribed.
Good video! Interesting as you are right that one shoe doesn't fit all! I am on MDI using Tresiba/Lyumjev and for me I try to eat dinner early around 5 PM and avoid high amount of protein and fats as it takes a long time to digest those and I end up with high blood glucose levels for hours and have to take multiple boluses of Lyumjev one at dinner then another 2 to 3 hours and sometimes again 4 to 8 hours if it was particularly high fat meal, which is unfortunate because I've already fallen asleep and have to wake up to bolus! When I eat higher amount of carbs for dinner I take a higher bolus of Lyumjev and it sometimes it's one and done! Also my Tresiba basal insulin never changes and if I get my blood glucose levels good before bedtime and don't eat a high fat dinner, 95% of the time I wake up with my blood glucose level between 70 and 100. In the morning I have the most problems with high carbs as my blood glucose goes up fast with things like cereals and if I want to have them I have to bolus 15 minutes early and at a higher level to compensate. However I usually go to the gym 3 days a week and like to get my blood glucose higher around 130 to 170 beforehand because it always drops with exercise and carbs are a great way to do that and they also give me the fuel I need to have a good work-out. Following that my a1c is always around 5.7 and TIM around 90% and I rarely see any insulin resistance issues and have had no diabetic complications having been a T1D for 45 years.
Excellent, best explaination ever. Straight to the point. No jargon. It's all great tips here. It's a pity the doctors in Ireland don't go through it like this.
Yes do intermetfasting most days no carbs and got rid of my type 2 diabetes dsoctor was shockes and lost 2 stone and 5 pound from end of june to october workes for me . rob from the UK
Walking the same distance as you ran will burn the same calories, it just takes longer to get that far. So walk when you can because it means less wear and tear on your joints, run if you have limited time available.
Oh no. I got so excited when you said have a couple of drinks before bed that I almost dropped my phone and ran for the fridge for a beer. My heart sank when I realised you're joking. Jokes aside. Thanks for the advice.
@cincin4515 u can have beer🍺 I love my beer Michelob Ultra, but I just found the PERFECT BEER FOR DIABETICS...is call NEXT made by Bud Light. 0 sugar 0 carbs 80 calories 4% alcohol n it's DELICIOUS. U can thx me later. Jkdding, but let me know how u like it. R u n Cincy?
I learn a lot from your video i am prediabetic and it helps me to do something about it and this video gave me an answer to reduce my blood sugar level.Thank you so much
I do take long-acting. I take 16 units in the morning, down from 35 units, and even after my regular coffee, I do not need to use short-acting insulin for the most part. And even though my endrocologist gave me a range of up to 15 units based on the number, I am no longer insulin resistant and with low carbohydrate intake, I never need more than 4 units a day if ever. I occasionally cheat, but it's probably once or twice a month... I fast 18/6 as a lifestyle
💕💕💕 that you are trying plant based! It is the ONLY way I have had ANY success in this journey. Low fat, plant based is not easy in many ways, but provides the best bs control for me and I have been following Dr. Joel Furhman and Dr. Neal Barnard for over 10 years. Wish I could do more exercise, but the poly neuropathies make that very, very difficult. Paleo and Keto seem to work for some, but I prefer as plant based as I can, mainly because of the increased energy levels. I don’t get that from the other diets, and intermittent fasting can also be a challenge. Great video! One of your best!
Yes!! Type 2 here! Keto drove up my blood pressure and cholesterol. Since going vegan/lowfat I have gotten off blood pressure, cholesterol, AND blood sugar meds (Metformin)! I also lost 30 lbs in 4-5 months. Throw in some intermittent fasting a couple of days a week, and I’m in it for life!
Exercise should initially raise your blood sugar its typically after when you see the drop unless its for a long period of time. I typically do fairly physical work in a store I see my normal heart rate around 110-115 which while isn't crazy, sustained over 6+ hours a day can cause some crazy insulin sensitivity. (im a type 1 btw) I also work overnights so I don't want to go walking around in the pitch black and so I find doing pushups, situps, and squats in a loop till I start seeing sugar come down help too. I've had my sugar spike despite taking insulin up to 400mg and doing about 100 push ups, squats, and situps over a 20-30min period can really help start getting my insulin sensitivity to increase.
I started keto as a type 2 and biking 12 Minute HIIT in the morning drives my dawn phonomime down in a big hurry. I check my BP in the morning and its been a lot better. I'll be checking out more of your vids in the future. What kind of chips were you having towards the end of the video.
@cbryce9243 I have been keto for 8 years along with intermittent fasting. No kidney issues ever! And I am 73. Your doctor is not knowledgeable about keto. Duke University with Dr. Westman's research clinic, Ohio University's VERTA clinic, and John Hopkin's Hospital (who have incorporated a keto diet for their patients for over 75 years) all have promoted a keto diet. The keto lifestyle is as polarizing in the medical community as U.S. politics. So frustrating! Can we not be supportive of each other and allow individual differences and choices without fear mongering? I know what my CGM tells me about my food choices, and keto works for me by keeping my blood sugar in a super healthy range. In fact, I plan to switch to carnivore soon and try it to observe its purported healthy results. Now that lifestyle will make your doctor's bp hit the sky, no doubt!
@@trees5338Do it! See my response to the anti-keto scare tactic. Keep your electrolytes in balance and follow a keto diet that uses real foods and is not full of manufactured, processed junk substitutes that say keto-friendly on the package or box. Follow Dr. Sten Ekberg on youtube. He, like me, is a holistic doc, and provides professional and sensible presentations about keto. He will clear up any misconceptions. Best of life to you!
My favourite ways to bring down my blood sugar are going for a walk around the pond in my apartment or working out in my apartment's exercise room. Strength workouts for me sometimes is better than a cardio workout.
You're doing great! I'm glad you mentioned Dennis Pollack, he's been a great inspiration for me too- other great people, Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Sarah Hallberg! All on UA-cam. Dr. Bernstein is a type 1, and he helped to introduce the Keto diet to all diabetics. My b. Sugar has always been problematic since I was a child, and everyone in my family had issues. But! If Dr. Bernstein could get off insulin as a TYPE 1, I can certainly do it as a type 2! ( Or, 1 and 1/2, however you want to look at it) everything you mentioned, ABSOLUTELY.
Hello Tom, I'm a reasonably longtime Subscriber. I'm 66. I'm going to write a comprehensive post for the benefit of the other Subscribers. Not you and me. I'm insulin dependent like you are. I'm using Novolog Asperate (10 Units fast/short acting) and Novolin N (15 Units long acting) 3 times a day. I check my blood sugar when wake up (6AM - 8AM). I then take both my insulins. 10 units on the fast acting Novolog Asperate, and 15 units on the Novolin N . I wait 45 minutes before I eat, but I'll start having my coffee no sugar, with a little milk. I have awaken with a blood sugar of 45 Mg/Dl... not good! Actually if my blood sugar gets to low while I'm sleeping my body wakes me up, and I can feel my blood sugar is low, because I feel calm and serene.. until I move!, LOL. When I start moving I start feeling shaky and start slowly sweating like I've got a fever. I don't stop to think. I move to the kitchen quickly and take 2 tablespoons of either raw honey or maple syrup. I've always got those in the kitchen. After I take the honey or maple syrup... within 2 minutes the sweating and shaky goes away. If I didn't do anything else after I take the honey or syrup..., like eat. I know from experience... that my blood sugar with top out at about 160 Mg/Dl. At which point. I take my normal level shots and "only wait" 20 minutes instead of the hour I usually wait before eating. At that point I'm back to my normal routine, of checking my blood sugar an hour later and then 30 minutes later. What I eat for breakfast varies. Sometimes it's 1 cup of Rice Chex (pronounced checks) with 1/2 a cup Blueberries and a little raw honey. Or, some other unsweetened grain cereal with Blueberries, or sometimes it's a good chunk of Cantaloupe with a couple pieces of Toast and REAL BUTTER. There have been times when I made the mistake of not check my blood sugar before I wen to bed. In my case... If my blood sugar is to high when I'm sleeping! I will!... not maybe!... but, I will!... have very vivid negative dreams... commonly called nightmares. When I wake up in the middle of the night from one of those. I get up and check my blood sugar. And it's always high. If it's 250 Mg/Dl I'll give myself 5 Units of the Novolog Asperate (fast acting) instead of my normal 10 Units. and go back to bed. Knowing that when I wake up it'll be somewhere between 70 to 115 MG/Dl. Those of you that are reading my long comment need to realize that there is NO ONE STANDARD for any diabetic, because all our bodies are different. What there are... are guidelines! What we as diabetics MUST REALIZE IS... that from our diagnosis of diabetes. We are now on a journey of at least a year to having to pay a great deal of attention to what we eat, when we it and the RESULTS OF OUR PERSONAL BLOOD-GLUCOSE METER RESULTS AND WRITE THEM DOWN IN A NOTEBOOK SO YOU CAN REVIEW THEM EVERYDAY! So you can start figuring you body out! You need to look at the packaging for carbohydrates per serving, and WRITE EVERTHING DOWN in a notebook until YOU BECOME AN EXPERT ON YOUR BODY'S METABOLISM AND BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF EATING AND OF THE DAY. So, after breakfast I check my blood sugar an hour later. It's usually up to 215 to 250 Mg/Dl . But that can be normal even for non-diabetics. The difference is... that non-diabetics blood sugar will go up after they eat, but will come back to the normal range almost as quickly. I'll then check my blood sugar an additional 30 minutes later to see it's direction up or down and how fast it's moving in that direction. It's usually coming down by then, and is usually either just under 200 Mg/Dl, or around 200 Mg/Dl by then. Then I'll check it around an hour or so later, and by then it's down to 120s to 140s Mg/Dl. At 66 years old I'm not doing the same kind of physical activities, and same amount of time doing physical activities that I was doing even in my 40s and 50s. As we get older we do not need to being eating they way we were programmed to do. Breakfast, Lunch and Supper/Dinner.
I find some magnesium citrate works well with insulin. Not only does it get your bowels moving, but it also helps reduce for me my blood sugar levels. Or help the insulin work better.
Also, you didn't talk about the effect of Gluconeogenesis (when the liver creates glucose from carbon to keep your BG from dropping dangerously low) Gluco (sugar) Neo (new) Genesis (creation).. This always needs to be factored in.. It is your bodies way of keeping you alive.
Really it depends what we eat last night. I take a new supplement in the mkt gluhealth And works only if i still inject my insulin less than the usual 30 units to 20 From 158 it goes down to 98. Now i excercise just for 15min coz im 74 yrs old n have heart problem. Thank you sir.
I appreciate your presentation. You got my full attention. Question. In a plant based diet, can you outline. Several good Breakfast choices and several good lunch choices. I did not include dinner because you said 6pm should be last consumption.
Breakfast wise? Lots of water and fruit, or something like pea soup with bulgar or barley. Super easy and I usually make enough on a sunday to last me the week. I think a fiber and fruit bowl is great. Chia seeds have 44% daily fiber intake with only 3 tablespoons. I mix them with oats to get a nice heavy bowl of breakfast. I add raisins and banana usually. To sweeten I generally use date syrup Its low GI and works for me: about 12 dates and equal parts water blended, set in fridge overnight. The syrup lasts a few days and I usually put 3 or 4 tbsp on my oats and mix it. If you really want it as sweet as something like brown sugar, use stevia.
I have Type 2. I went thru alot since march 2021 where I almost died because I did not know I had diabetes. I lost functionality in a lot of things. I went thru the insulin infinity loop, eat, take insulin, eat. I was still hungry all the time but I did try to change my diet. I went from 500, to 350, 200, and all the way down to 79. Now this was about 9 months in. I went thru a traumatic experience in my marriage of June 2022. I started exercising but I still wasn't really making gains. My sugar would be as high as 150 but would lower after exercise. Then in October 2022 I discovered supplements. So now I started taking a testosterone booster, and I took L-Arginine + Citrulline almost daily. To help with my muscle atrophy I took creatine HCL daily, Creatine can also lower blood sugar too. I used to take L-Arginine occasionally but now I take it almost daily. Now I also take a multi vitamin. What happened, well my appetite while still strong now when I eat I eat once and I'm done. No cravings or snacking. I don't drink regular soda and I drink more water. Since October I have had great improvements at times my sugar would stay around 80-90 and I am still considered morbidly obese. The difference is I had more energy when talking supplements than I did with food, insulin, and normal exercise. I follow the ideals of keto, but some carbs are beneficial. Right now I'm working on getting my ED under control which has improved when I eat less, and take test boosters.
I am type 2 diabetes for a year but I still don't know how to manage my blood sugar. Can someone teach me how. Especially that i am living in asian country which traditionally we are more dependent on rice especially to poor people like me
Love your shows. My son who is 38 and lean at 6 ft 200. is type 1 starting at 21. He struggled but now with the monitor on his arm he is figuring it out Question can you talk about apple cider vinegar and if it works taking a cider pill or not hers vinegar after is a scam or not. Thanks
I love to watch this guy's clips and the way he looks after managing his blood sugar. I shall try out all his recommendations. Thanks you very much my good friend.
I think it's great that after 35 years you have your AC at 6.0, but just as important what's your TIR? I've had good A1Cs for 4 decades with MDI, and been able to get occasional 6's but couldn't keep it there until I started with a CGM and could see the variability and the response. I saw that the amount of fiber in a meakl was as important as the amojnt of carbohyrates ir their glycemic index. eg Oatmeat mixed witn psyllium behaves like it has a much lower gylcemic index. A fiber drink and large mixed salad eaten with a rational portion of pizza blunts the peak from the crust as much as cheese and fat in the meal do. After one month my TIR was 87% and a month later, still using MDI, my A1C was 5.9 . Even though I knew how to correct quickly, I didn't do it when it would have been most effective , I only corrected before meals, not between meals. imo, knowing how to use the tech you have most effectively is more importtant than what tech you use. SInce I started using a pump, I find that while it's easier to do some things, it produces a slower response than an injection when I want to drop BG down to target quickly with a correction.
Regarding the alcohol, it will probably affect blood sugar positively, since the liver will be occupied by breaking down that alcohol, but at the same time, the long time effect by drinking alcohol each day will also have negative health effect, so I think the net effect of this is negative.
I have been trying a old fashioned remedy. I have type 2, I’m 55, and have had knee replacements and shoulder surgeries. Natural Bee honey! A tablespoon of real Bee honey(not the store brand). 1 tablespoon before bed levels my sugar and avoids nightly spikes. My father has done this for years. I have just started this and have seen some stability. I’m not sure a doctor will recommend this, but most US doctors want a pill to work on it( metformin, glipizide, etc) possibly the bee honey sugars is the key?
Hello, am a type 2 and have been following your videos - very educative. Am commenting from Nairobi Kenya. Kindly help me in knowing the type of watch you are using and if you can help me get one. I have a very big challenge in monitoring my sugars. Thanks and best regards.
Well, I'm not sure which diet is the best but I'm using the juicing diet. In the first month I dropped 15 pounds and stopped using insulin. The recipe makes about 2 gallons of juice. Using this recipe will result in lower A1c and normal glucose levels. Drink 16 ounces 2 to 3 times a day. 1 pineapple 5 red apples 2 bunches of kale 2 bunches of parsley 5 tomatoes 1 bok choy 2 celery plants not 2 sticks 2 cucumbers 4 garlic 3 medium whole beets 6 carrots 1 broccoli plant 1 bunch spinach 1 lb green beans 2 to 4 Red Bell peppers 2 Romain lettuce plants 2 bunches Swiss Chard For the garlic take a small amount of the juice and put it in a blender. Smash the garlic and add to the juice in the blender. Liquefy the garlic in the juice with the highest setting on the blender. Then pour the juice back in the rest of the juice and mix thoroughly.
I’m a type 1 diabetic who’s blood sugars are quite erratic due to underlying health issues but after going onto the bolus advisory course of insulin my hba1c has greatly improved. The one problem that I do have though is my blood sugars can crash overnight so I try to make sure that I have something to eat (unless my blood sugars are high) before bed. My biggest problem at the moment, not blood sugar related though, is that my weight has increased since I have stopped smoking and the general fatigue that has come from my extra weight.
I have a pet type 1 diaberic, I have tried every experiment and tactic, from no carb to all kind of supplements and much much more, the veridict in that case was, no matter if high, med ot low carb the thing is finding the exact right dose of Insulin, even on keto she manifested 500+ blood glucose. Supplements what they did is Regulate the BG, And I have tested litteraly around 100 types, the staple is one combo from jarrow formula is called glucose oprimizer but the champ in my experience is Cinnamon. The unusual recipe for a better bg levels is making her playful as possible. That is my rxperience of 4 years with a type1 diabetic pet
being type 2 diabetic with frequent foot ulcers makes my walking limited , so I found to lower my blood sugar level from 8 to 6 was by eating 300 ml of fruit bottom yogurt , it works foe & I hope works for you as well
I love HiiT exercise but now have torn the meniscus in both knees. I can’t do HIIT exercise any longer due too much stress on the knee joints. Any suggestion on low knee stress exercises that have same effects as hiit exercises? I have low metabolism due to lack of exercises. Currently using a glucose monitor to adjust my diet to my new condition. But does not seem to be enough. Calf raises are great, but feel I am over doing it. Walking can cause stress on my knees. I am type 2 diabetic. I was in great shape before knee injuries.
hi, I m a type 1 diabetic. As you are an experienced person. And would like to help others, I have question that would really help me. WHAT SHOULD BE THE TIME LIMIT WHEN TAKING INSULIN AND HAVING OUR MEAL ?
Hi there, very interesting video, it gave some insides. 5 years ago I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and after giving birth still had high bs in the morning, I have tried many different ways and interestingly only low fat plant base help me lower my bs. I couldn't believe it cause doctors always told me get rid of carbs, and honestly I hate it, don't feel comfortable with high protein foods. Anyways I didn't stick it for to long cause of social pressure. Now I am fasting quiet often and will start with low fat plant base diet 😊
My first time to know my sugar is to much high a1c 11.5 I am worried to much...so around 5pm I don't eat anything I don't eat sweet food anything, water I drinked regularly, I start walking... then From 269/I check again for two wks fbs 130... actually this is my first time to know that I'm diabetic....
For me, 1u Fiasp brings me down by 3mmol within 20-30mins and that's assuming I haven't other exercise or insulin stacking going on. Interestingly, exercise can raise my sugars in the morning, which kind of suggests the dawn phenomenon is chucking sugar out of my liver, which can be deceiving, then later in the day, it drops and stays 'dead' 😎. Your channel is great and thank you for all your great advice which is very useful!
Okay so I have to ask, how are Type 1 diabetics managing a ketogenic diet without developing keto acidosis? The clinic I attend tells me frequently this is a terrible method of management but why?

My doc said I am prediabetic, so I am working on it. I've only seen a couple of your videos and am learning a lot. Although it is a lot to take in all at once, I thank you for sharing all your advice. I am sure it will help me not become a diabetic if I keep working on it. 🌷
Hello I love your videos ...I have a question where can I get the monitor you have on your wrist?
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and walking up and down the stairs after a meal for 30 mins helped lower my blood glucose level.
Too bad we all can’t do that
.
Walking for 30 minutes after a high carb meal helps. He right.
Did you download an app to measure your sugar in your body and a1c ?
Using cinnamon and turmeric can do the same thing.
@michelelindseth8250
In some cases. We tried it, it didn't work. Plus, there's lots of fake cinnamon on the market.
I’m trying intermittent fasting and it’s really working. I’m fasting 16/8. Its so easy b/c it doesn’t cost money, I don’t worry about calorie counting, just my portions. It’s the first time in months that my weight has gone down. 245lbs. Down to 227 in 2 months. I’m definitely sticking with this.
What does 16/8 mean I’m new to this sorry
@@danielvillegas8417 I think it means she fasts 16 hours and has an 8 hour window to where she can eat
@@danielvillegas8417 eat one's or twice within 24 hours
Partly correct in addition during 8 hours window you must only eat 2 times .
What makes it easy is the fact that you count the time you are sleeping. All you need to do is skip breakfast if you can. I eat my afternoon around 6:00 and I don’t eat anymore until 11:00 a.m. That’s pretty easy.
I did a permanent fast, I'm now sending this message from heaven no more diabetes result 👍
sounds like a good deal
You silly thing
I’m laughing so much 😂
@@Supremebeinglivingmybestlife ,wllwm a ,p ,
Thanks I needed a laugh today.
I eat low carb and do intermittent fasting (stop eating at night). I also cut out sugary foods, pasta, and bread most of the time. My glucose levels have been great since following that! But its a lifetime change so I have to follow that.
Understand. I am happy to hear this is working well for you !

Can i ask what u eat for breakfast
It will take around 6-12 months for your body to adjust to the new diet.
@@ciri51 As soon as you have a diet change
It doesn't take that long for body to adjust within a week
You should know in your body, avoid eating to bed, it's quiet important
I stopped eating pasta, rice, white potatoes, sugar, juice, no dairy except low fat cheese, no salt, fats except for avocado. type 2 diabetic with an A1C 6.3 and before that it was 5.7. Being unable to excercise I got my A1C down to 5.4 by watching my diet. My husband reitred and started cooking A1C 6.3. It will be checked again in January. I had not eaten corn or peas at that time. They were not part of my diet. I have never taken medication for diabetes and I always kept a record of everything I ate and how many carbs it was. Never ate over 45mg carbs any meal, no salt over 140 mg but did not eat salt. Sugar in food had to be 4 or 5 mg. The right food is very important. Thank you very much for a very educational and informative video. I appreciate it very much.
Great video. What I do to lower my sugars pretty fast is a hot cup of cinimon sticks (the loose type), bay leaf, and lemon. It usually drops my sugars at least 20-30 pts within 30 minutes.
Thank you I was thinking about boiling some cinnamon stick as a tea for my friend I will definitely use the bay leaf and lemon. Thank you ❤
Please when is the right time to drink this tea.
How many minutes after meal
Is it safe to consume after the breakfast? Or should it be consumed on empty stomach?
That only lowers the concentration of sugar in our blood and does not affect the amount of sugar and insulin . Drinking anything won't ever lower blood sugar it will only slow down rate of insulin spike , ( reasons :- HIIT training and saunas increases blood sugar because of loss of water in blood ) so only method to lower blood sugar is to use the energy by anything physical
Your altruistic personae, logical and organized presentations, precise diction of English as a second language, compounded with your intellectual propensity to gather helpful tools, instructions, and information regarding CGM'S--all of these qualities rank you as a MASTER EDUCATOR. My hat goes off to you! YOU ROCK! I am directing my clients who use a CGM to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for supporting the diabetic community who already contend with many health and life challenges. You make a positive difference their lives. ❤
Excellent video! Been dealing with DM1 for 22 years and being a ICU RN I see so many people come into the hospital with DM1 a disaster after 10 years of diagnosis. The difference between these individuals and the individuals who have no complications is, motivation. You either have it or you don’t. So grateful for videos like this that give me tips I might have not known!
I’ve been a Type1 diabetic since 1973. The one thing that has improved my hB1ac levels and high blood sugar overall is the Carnivore “diet” and taking Berberine. My A1c’s after 2.5 months on the Carnivore were 5.5, they should be about 4.9 after 6 months
What brand of beberine do you take?
Yes pls tell,can 9 year old baby girls can take this
❤Thanks for the information! I'm eating better, exercising, and have lost 11lbs. I enjoyed learning about healthy foods. I eat more protein, almonds, avocados, and salads. My sugar was 88 today; 90 minutes after eating.
Well done! Thanks for your comment!
I am Pre diabetes. My Doctor told me that I'm pre diabetes but she did not give me any medication. She said my blood sugar is not high enough to put me on drugs but she recommended that I should consult a Dietician. Which i did. I have been told to avoid surgery foods and Cabs. I have stopped eating white rice, bread etc. I sometimes eat wholemeal bread. I am seriously aware of Gi, foods. Most of the time now i Google the food to know the Gi before eating it. 😁😜. Now I'm used to it and it really helps me. You just need to be very serious. What i gained from this video is "Exercise". I will now be doing more exercise. Is it possible for me to permanently have normal blood sugar levels?
Yeah. Exactly👍. Pls maintain specially law carb at night and exercise at least 30 mints before or after dinner . I started now 2 times ,as I’m pre diabetes too, but my fasting sugars high and evaluate. So doctor suggested to do more exercise and cut specially at night carb. Hopefully it will be reduced.
@@DSD394 I am a diabetic but no meds. I was able to get my A1C from 11,5 to 5.8 by exercising day and night. I do not eat after 5 and all my carbs are eaten either in the morning or by noon the latest. I have to make sure I do not get kid ey disease. Drink lots of water and stay away from sweets as much as possible. I am 77, I only take a B12, and vitamin D pills. Good luck
Get a Constant Glucose Monitor if you can. It will help to keep you accountable. It like getting spanked when you eat stuff you shouldn't. It will give you positive results after excersiseing.
Night Highs: I was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and was then told by my Endocrinologist that it was a contributing factor to my BG highs because of the stress it produces on my body.
It is.
I have found taking a supplement of apple cider vinegar, I don’t do the liquid well, take at night shortly before bed works wonderful
Exercise is a must.. Walking or elliptical exercise works well for me
As a shift worker of 37 years, age16-55, that include 1800-0600 night shifts, 0600-1800, 0700-1900, I discovered I was type 2 diabetic at 44 y/old.
Since then I've constantly struggled to keep my blood sugars under control, even using metformin and cutting out raw sugar and white carbs, naughty snacks.
I know 3 other guys at work who have done roughly the same, 30-40 years of shift work, All have become type 2 diabetic between 40-50 years old and are struggling to keep their blood sugars low, despite meds and changes in diet.
My diabetic nurse told me, shift work massively promotes type 2 diabetes, especially night work and over many decades.
After witnessing myself and my 3 workmates all being struck down with type 2 diabetes in their 40's and 50's and not being to overweight, I'm realizing that shift work is a major problem and does contribute hugely to getting type 2 diabetes.
My diabetic nurse told me that shift work and especially night work kills your body clock, your body clock doesn't function in a natural way.
The problems created by not having your body clock function correctly include, eating meals at different times depending on what shift your working.
Blood sugar levels bouncing all over the place because your food is being broke down at different times of the day, shift dependant.
Your activity levels vary, dependant on shift.
Poor quality sleep because of irregular hours and patterns.
Erratic Appetite & food cravings because your body clock is screwed up.
Toilet visits, urination and passing stools become irregular, shift dependant.
Depleted immune system due to poor quality, irregular sleep patterns.
Irregular blood pressure, shift dependant.
Fatigue, feeling tired all the time due to shift changes, messed up body clock, badly regulated blood sugar levels.
Decreased Serotonin levels, especially during night shifts, this plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire.
I'm sure there's plenty of other contributing factors that are a type 2 diabetic's nightmare and make regulating your blood sugars near impossible, My diabetic nurse srongly recommended changing my work, getting away from shift work but I'm 55 y/old soon and it doesn't make sense financially/career wise at this late stage.
Basically I have to ride it out for a few more years and manage my blood sugars the best I can with meds, diet and excercise and try and sleep well.
I've shared all my experiences with shift work and type 2 diabetes here because most people are not aware of the link, Even most Gp's and medically trained people fail to mention it, hopefully in the future, recognition will become more apparent.
As a last pointer, I'll share two things I use to help regulate blood sugars, they are NOT a miracle cure but help me gain a little more control.
Within the first hour of waking up, I have a bowl of unsweetened porridge, dotted with ground ceylon cinnamon from a pepper pot.
I also drink lots of straight water with a sliced lemon and one teaspoon full of raw organic apple cyder vinegar in a glass, topped up with more water throughout the day
Note: If you choose to experiment with sliced lemon and apple cyder vinegar, MAKE SURE you clean your teeth afterwards as it's very acidic in nature.
Good luck to everyone, thank's for the video.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤
I have been working night shifts over 20 years. I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. Not getting enough sleep I believe can contribute to diabetes.
@@joanramlogan9047 I'm sure Night shifts do help promote type 2 diabetes, especially if it's been over many years. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that being physically & mentally active throughout the night, when your body clock is wired up for sleep during darkness isn't going to be a problem long term.
Circadian rhythms affect your sleep patterns as well as other ways your body works, like your hormones, body temperature, and eating habits. When they get out of sync, they might also cause problems with your health. They’ve been linked to different disorders including diabetes, obesity, and depression.
The deeper you dig, the more you'll discover how type 2 diabetes and shift work, especially prolonged night shifts are beginning to be linked, I'm pretty sure given more time and more studies, the link will become more pronounced and understood in the future.
Yes,same here 12 hr shift ,2 hr traveling 14 hrs daily security guard working nights, Days has Ruined blood sugar liver pancreas and unable to control high blood sugar despite 8 tablets daily
Thank you very much for sharing. I don't work shift but I have a habit of sleeping irregularly (e.g. waking up at 3 am to read things or watch movies for 1 or 2 hours before going back to sleep again). I'm slim but got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes one time. Now I'm back to prediabetic but have to watch my diet and exercise. I have a question for you: do you and your night shift friends regularly exercise 4 hours per week? I suspect exercise has a lot to do with it. Working night shift means you're a lot less likely to be doing outdoor sports or other outdoor leisure activity.
It is simple... Chronic stress.. is whats affecting your glucose.. Manage your stress levels.. Cortisol + adrenaline surges are the main role in why the numbers are perceive as high... change your thoughts.. and change what you perceive as stress.. meditate and take vitamins and workout.. oh and Magnesium, Potassium, electrolytes.. because most numbers also get that high from dehydration as well.. especially if you are taking other pills... some medications are causing vitamin deficiencies in the body raising the levels as well..
As a type 2 diabetic who does keto and fasting, I too was having dawn effects almost every morning, so for a few months now I've been taking creatine a few hours before bed in a protein shake and since taking the creatine I no longer get dawn effects in the morning, now I'm not a Dr but this is what's worked for me, also keep in mind that i am very strict with myself in keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh I will try this 🙏🏻💪🏻☺️
Anytime
Can you please share exactly what you are drinking? This is my issue.
Thanks for sharing. I'm 62 5'4 120 lbs so fasting for very long periods of time isn't for me because I just loose too much weight. I really appreciate your info on the use of creatine before bed because I have pretty high blood sugar in the morning but after I eat, usually around 1pm it will be in the high 80s or 90s which is very confusing 😔
I am. T2 and also in late stage PD, so exercise is very hard for me. I cannot fast for more than
a few hours as some meds must be taken with food. Water here is toxic. But i do get help with supplements and herbs.
@3:36 Alcohol is not the way to go for a healthy lifestyle but if you do want to take alcohol on a night out without spiking BG, Spirits are the way to go. Spirits like Vodka, Whiskey or Rum diluted with water for instance will not raise BG levels at all… In fact these will probably lower BG levels while drinking but stay aware of BG levels because it can cause you to go low but you may not feel it x Stay safe everyone xx
Glad to find the channel. Lack of exercise, carrying too much weight got me here! One positive, attention to diet and exercise all good for longevity. Subscribed.
Good video! Interesting as you are right that one shoe doesn't fit all!
I am on MDI using Tresiba/Lyumjev and for me I try to eat dinner early around 5 PM and avoid high amount of protein and fats as it takes a long time to digest those and I end up with high blood glucose levels for hours and have to take multiple boluses of Lyumjev one at dinner then another 2 to 3 hours and sometimes again 4 to 8 hours if it was particularly high fat meal, which is unfortunate because I've already fallen asleep and have to wake up to bolus! When I eat higher amount of carbs for dinner I take a higher bolus of Lyumjev and it sometimes it's one and done! Also my Tresiba basal insulin never changes and if I get my blood glucose levels good before bedtime and don't eat a high fat dinner, 95% of the time I wake up with my blood glucose level between 70 and 100.
In the morning I have the most problems with high carbs as my blood glucose goes up fast with things like cereals and if I want to have them I have to bolus 15 minutes early and at a higher level to compensate. However I usually go to the gym 3 days a week and like to get my blood glucose higher around 130 to 170 beforehand because it always drops with exercise and carbs are a great way to do that and they also give me the fuel I need to have a good work-out.
Following that my a1c is always around 5.7 and TIM around 90% and I rarely see any insulin resistance issues and have had no diabetic complications having been a T1D for 45 years.
Well done my friend! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent, best explaination ever. Straight to the point. No jargon. It's all great tips here. It's a pity the doctors in Ireland don't go through it like this.
A great video. All the things I’ve already learned & putting into practice. Thank you.❤
Very good presentation. useful for those who are new to diabetes. worth the 45 plus minutes👌👍🙏

Fantastic!
2 Drinks Just Before Bed! I Loveit!!! Just Kidding! Great show and humor!
Where in the world did you film this? It looks lovely.
Walking the same distance as you ran will burn the same calories, it just takes longer to get that far. So walk when you can because it means less wear and tear on your joints, run if you have limited time available.
Oh no. I got so excited when you said have a couple of drinks before bed that I almost dropped my phone and ran for the fridge for a beer. My heart sank when I realised you're joking.
Jokes aside. Thanks for the advice.

As a fellow pre-diabetic, I am interested if how a higher carb/lower fat diet has been working for you. Please post a follow -up. Thanks.
I lost 100 pounds and brought my A1c from 6.9 to 5.5 in one year with IF and loow carb diet.
Wow! 100 lbs.! Congrats!
Intermittent fasting has worked for me successfully. I am below pre diabetic even though I eat carbs hydrates in meals
How you followed
I do take long-acting. I take 16 units in the morning, down from 35 units, and even after my regular coffee, I do not need to use short-acting insulin for the most part. And even though my endrocologist gave me a range of up to 15 units based on the number, I am no longer insulin resistant and with low carbohydrate intake, I never need more than 4 units a day if ever. I occasionally cheat, but it's probably once or twice a month... I fast 18/6 as a lifestyle
This brother is good!!
💕💕💕 that you are trying plant based! It is the ONLY way I have had ANY success in this journey. Low fat, plant based is not easy in many ways, but provides the best bs control for me and I have been following Dr. Joel Furhman and Dr. Neal Barnard for over 10 years. Wish I could do more exercise, but the poly neuropathies make that very, very difficult. Paleo and Keto seem to work for some, but I prefer as plant based as I can, mainly because of the increased energy levels. I don’t get that from the other diets, and intermittent fasting can also be a challenge. Great video! One of your best!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience and tips! Very helpful. Dr Barnard is very inspiring too.
Yes!! Type 2 here! Keto drove up my blood pressure and cholesterol. Since going vegan/lowfat I have gotten off blood pressure, cholesterol, AND blood sugar meds (Metformin)! I also lost 30 lbs in 4-5 months. Throw in some intermittent fasting a couple of days a week, and I’m in it for life!
Doctor Bernard says carnivorous Diet is best..not plant...
I love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with others. God bless you and cheers to good health!
Sometimes real active excercise causes rise in cortisol then sugar goes up....temporarily
This is my case. What should I do?
The video has given me so much hope.
you are really great guy.
Exercise should initially raise your blood sugar its typically after when you see the drop unless its for a long period of time. I typically do fairly physical work in a store I see my normal heart rate around 110-115 which while isn't crazy, sustained over 6+ hours a day can cause some crazy insulin sensitivity. (im a type 1 btw) I also work overnights so I don't want to go walking around in the pitch black and so I find doing pushups, situps, and squats in a loop till I start seeing sugar come down help too. I've had my sugar spike despite taking insulin up to 400mg and doing about 100 push ups, squats, and situps over a 20-30min period can really help start getting my insulin sensitivity to increase.
I love intermediate fasting ... it stabilizes my sugar levels and keeps them low, and it's less load on the kidneys too!
I started keto as a type 2 and biking 12 Minute HIIT in the morning drives my dawn phonomime down in a big hurry. I check my BP in the morning and its been a lot better. I'll be checking out more of your vids in the future. What kind of chips were you having towards the end of the video.
My doctor said not to do KETO because it is very hard on the kidneys. Be careful, having kidney disease is not fun.
@@cbryce9243I'm glad you posted, I'm stage 3a and no-one mentions that, have wanted to do keto, glad I haven't, thank you.
@cbryce9243 I have been keto for 8 years along with intermittent fasting. No kidney issues ever! And I am 73. Your doctor is not knowledgeable about keto. Duke University with Dr. Westman's research clinic, Ohio University's VERTA clinic, and John Hopkin's Hospital (who have incorporated a keto diet for their patients for over 75 years) all have promoted a keto diet. The keto lifestyle is as polarizing in the medical community as U.S. politics. So frustrating! Can we not be supportive of each other and allow individual differences and choices without fear mongering? I know what my CGM tells me about my food choices, and keto works for me by keeping my blood sugar in a super healthy range. In fact, I plan to switch to carnivore soon and try it to observe its purported healthy results. Now that lifestyle will make your doctor's bp hit the sky, no doubt!
@@trees5338Do it! See my response to the anti-keto scare tactic. Keep your electrolytes in balance and follow a keto diet that uses real foods and is not full of manufactured, processed junk substitutes that say keto-friendly on the package or box. Follow Dr. Sten Ekberg on youtube. He, like me, is a holistic doc, and provides professional and sensible presentations about keto. He will clear up any misconceptions. Best of life to you!
Thank you for your very educational
and informative video.
Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Much appreciated.
What is that device that you wear to see the blood sugar measures? I would like to buy one.
FreeStyle Libre (you have to change it every two weeks and monthly payments around $60)
remember also growth hormone can increase insuling level an lead to blood sugar up (for young people around 18 _25_30)
Good content, i wonder what brand is that blood sensor you have. Thank you.
My favourite ways to bring down my blood sugar are going for a walk around the pond in my apartment or working out in my apartment's exercise room. Strength workouts for me sometimes is better than a cardio workout.
Great info. thank you i was diagnosed with Diabetes having some problems was put on Metformin
Please how do you handle neuropathy tingling numbness as if one wears an extra shocks. I am suffering with this. Thanks.
Exercise and fasting work. Thank you
You're doing great! I'm glad you mentioned Dennis Pollack, he's been a great inspiration for me too- other great people, Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Sarah Hallberg! All on UA-cam.
Dr. Bernstein is a type 1, and he helped to introduce the Keto diet to all diabetics. My b. Sugar has always been problematic since I was a child, and everyone in my family had issues. But! If Dr. Bernstein could get off insulin as a TYPE 1, I can certainly do it as a type 2! ( Or, 1 and 1/2, however you want to look at it) everything you mentioned, ABSOLUTELY.
I am 20 and have type 2 diabetes for 3 years
Hello Tom, I'm a reasonably longtime Subscriber. I'm 66. I'm going to write a comprehensive post for the benefit of the other Subscribers. Not you and me.
I'm insulin dependent like you are. I'm using Novolog Asperate (10 Units fast/short acting) and Novolin N (15 Units long acting) 3 times a day.
I check my blood sugar when wake up (6AM - 8AM). I then take both my insulins. 10 units on the fast acting Novolog Asperate, and 15 units on the Novolin N .
I wait 45 minutes before I eat, but I'll start having my coffee no sugar, with a little milk.
I have awaken with a blood sugar of 45 Mg/Dl... not good! Actually if my blood sugar gets to low while I'm sleeping my body wakes me up, and I can feel my blood sugar is low, because I feel calm and serene.. until I move!, LOL.
When I start moving I start feeling shaky and start slowly sweating like I've got a fever. I don't stop to think. I move to the kitchen quickly and take 2 tablespoons of either raw honey or maple syrup. I've always got those in the kitchen. After I take the honey or maple syrup... within 2 minutes the sweating and shaky goes away.
If I didn't do anything else after I take the honey or syrup..., like eat. I know from experience... that my blood sugar with top out at about 160 Mg/Dl. At which point. I take my normal level shots and "only wait" 20 minutes instead of the hour I usually wait before eating. At that point I'm back to my normal routine, of checking my blood sugar an hour later and then 30 minutes later.
What I eat for breakfast varies. Sometimes it's 1 cup of Rice Chex (pronounced checks) with 1/2 a cup Blueberries and a little raw honey. Or, some other unsweetened grain cereal with Blueberries, or sometimes it's a good chunk of Cantaloupe with a couple pieces of Toast and REAL BUTTER.
There have been times when I made the mistake of not check my blood sugar before I wen to bed.
In my case... If my blood sugar is to high when I'm sleeping! I will!... not maybe!... but, I will!... have very vivid negative dreams... commonly called nightmares.
When I wake up in the middle of the night from one of those. I get up and check my blood sugar. And it's always high.
If it's 250 Mg/Dl I'll give myself 5 Units of the Novolog Asperate (fast acting) instead of my normal 10 Units. and go back to bed. Knowing that when I wake up it'll be somewhere between 70 to 115 MG/Dl. Those of you that are reading my long comment need to realize that there is NO ONE STANDARD for any diabetic, because all our bodies are different. What there are... are guidelines!
What we as diabetics MUST REALIZE IS... that from our diagnosis of diabetes. We are now on a journey of at least a year to having to pay a great deal of attention to what we eat, when we it and the RESULTS OF OUR PERSONAL BLOOD-GLUCOSE METER RESULTS AND WRITE THEM DOWN IN A NOTEBOOK SO YOU CAN REVIEW THEM EVERYDAY! So you can start figuring you body out!
You need to look at the packaging for carbohydrates per serving, and WRITE EVERTHING DOWN in a notebook until YOU BECOME AN EXPERT ON YOUR BODY'S METABOLISM AND BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF EATING AND OF THE DAY.
So, after breakfast I check my blood sugar an hour later. It's usually up to 215 to 250 Mg/Dl . But that can be normal even for non-diabetics. The difference is... that non-diabetics blood sugar will go up after they eat, but will come back to the normal range almost as quickly.
I'll then check my blood sugar an additional 30 minutes later to see it's direction up or down and how fast it's moving in that direction.
It's usually coming down by then, and is usually either just under 200 Mg/Dl, or around 200 Mg/Dl by then. Then I'll check it around an hour or so later, and by then it's down to 120s to 140s Mg/Dl.
At 66 years old I'm not doing the same kind of physical activities, and same amount of time doing physical activities that I was doing even in my 40s and 50s.
As we get older we do not need to being eating they way we were programmed to do. Breakfast, Lunch and Supper/Dinner.
Much love and respect for your time. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I find some magnesium citrate works well with insulin. Not only does it get your bowels moving, but it also helps reduce for me my blood sugar levels. Or help the insulin work better.
This was a very informative video. Worth the time watching..
Also, you didn't talk about the effect of Gluconeogenesis (when the liver creates glucose from carbon to keep your BG from dropping dangerously low) Gluco (sugar) Neo (new) Genesis (creation).. This always needs to be factored in.. It is your bodies way of keeping you alive.
Learned so much through this video. THANKFUL!
You’re most welcome!
@@TypeOneTalksyeah ,best video on youtube
Really it depends what we eat last night. I take a new supplement in the mkt gluhealth
And works only if i still inject my insulin less than the usual 30 units to 20 From 158
it goes down to 98.
Now i excercise just for 15min coz im 74 yrs old n have heart problem. Thank you sir.
I appreciate your presentation. You got my full attention. Question. In a plant based diet, can you outline. Several good Breakfast choices and several good lunch choices. I did not include dinner because you said 6pm should be last consumption.
Breakfast wise? Lots of water and fruit, or something like pea soup with bulgar or barley. Super easy and I usually make enough on a sunday to last me the week.
I think a fiber and fruit bowl is great. Chia seeds have 44% daily fiber intake with only 3 tablespoons. I mix them with oats to get a nice heavy bowl of breakfast. I add raisins and banana usually.
To sweeten I generally use date syrup Its low GI and works for me: about 12 dates and equal parts water blended, set in fridge overnight. The syrup lasts a few days and I usually put 3 or 4 tbsp on my oats and mix it. If you really want it as sweet as something like brown sugar, use stevia.
I regularly fast. At least 12 hrs. It does help.
I have Type 2. I went thru alot since march 2021 where I almost died because I did not know I had diabetes. I lost functionality in a lot of things. I went thru the insulin infinity loop, eat, take insulin, eat. I was still hungry all the time but I did try to change my diet. I went from 500, to 350, 200, and all the way down to 79. Now this was about 9 months in. I went thru a traumatic experience in my marriage of June 2022. I started exercising but I still wasn't really making gains. My sugar would be as high as 150 but would lower after exercise. Then in October 2022 I discovered supplements. So now I started taking a testosterone booster, and I took L-Arginine + Citrulline almost daily. To help with my muscle atrophy I took creatine HCL daily, Creatine can also lower blood sugar too. I used to take L-Arginine occasionally but now I take it almost daily. Now I also take a multi vitamin. What happened, well my appetite while still strong now when I eat I eat once and I'm done. No cravings or snacking. I don't drink regular soda and I drink more water. Since October I have had great improvements at times my sugar would stay around 80-90 and I am still considered morbidly obese. The difference is I had more energy when talking supplements than I did with food, insulin, and normal exercise. I follow the ideals of keto, but some carbs are beneficial. Right now I'm working on getting my ED under control which has improved when I eat less, and take test boosters.
I am type 2 diabetes for a year but I still don't know how to manage my blood sugar. Can someone teach me how. Especially that i am living in asian country which traditionally we are more dependent on rice especially to poor people like me
Love your shows. My son who is 38 and lean at 6 ft 200. is type 1 starting at 21. He struggled but now with the monitor on his arm he is figuring it out Question can you talk about apple cider vinegar and if it works taking a cider pill or not hers vinegar after is a scam or not. Thanks
I love to watch this guy's clips and the way he looks after managing his blood sugar. I shall try out all his recommendations. Thanks you very much my good friend.
Thank you for sharing your tips to manage sugar levels. I learned very specific things I can do to manage blood sugar.
What is the device you are wearing and how does it measure blood sugar?
I think it's great that after 35 years you have your AC at 6.0, but just as important what's your TIR? I've had good A1Cs for 4 decades with MDI, and been able to get occasional 6's but couldn't keep it there until I started with a CGM and could see the variability and the response. I saw that the amount of fiber in a meakl was as important as the amojnt of carbohyrates ir their glycemic index. eg Oatmeat mixed witn psyllium behaves like it has a much lower gylcemic index. A fiber drink and large mixed salad eaten with a rational portion of pizza blunts the peak from the crust as much as cheese and fat in the meal do.
After one month my TIR was 87% and a month later, still using MDI, my A1C was 5.9 . Even though I knew how to correct quickly, I didn't do it when it would have been most effective , I only corrected before meals, not between meals. imo, knowing how to use the tech you have most effectively is more importtant than what tech you use. SInce I started using a pump, I find that while it's easier to do some things, it produces a slower response than an injection when I want to drop BG down to target quickly with a correction.
What all of these abbreviations mean?
Regarding the alcohol, it will probably affect blood sugar positively, since the liver will be occupied by breaking down that alcohol, but at the same time, the long time effect by drinking alcohol each day will also have negative health effect, so I think the net effect of this is negative.
I love this guy. I’m a do tans I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you
I have been trying a old fashioned remedy. I have type 2, I’m 55, and have had knee replacements and shoulder surgeries. Natural Bee honey! A tablespoon of real Bee honey(not the store brand). 1 tablespoon before bed levels my sugar and avoids nightly spikes. My father has done this for years. I have just started this and have seen some stability. I’m not sure a doctor will recommend this, but most US doctors want a pill to work on it( metformin, glipizide, etc) possibly the bee honey sugars is the key?
Excellent explanation I like it and Will try the advice
Very very helpful. I am sure that you know what you are doing .i am impress good health to youc god bless.
The blood sugar monitor which you are using is accurate.
Hello, am a type 2 and have been following your videos - very educative. Am commenting from Nairobi Kenya. Kindly help me in knowing the type of watch you are using and if you can help me get one. I have a very big challenge in monitoring my sugars.
Thanks and best regards.
Well, I'm not sure which diet is the best but I'm using the juicing diet. In the first month I dropped 15 pounds and stopped using insulin.
The recipe makes about 2 gallons of juice.
Using this recipe will result in lower A1c and normal glucose levels. Drink 16 ounces 2 to 3 times a day.
1 pineapple
5 red apples
2 bunches of kale
2 bunches of parsley
5 tomatoes
1 bok choy
2 celery plants not 2 sticks
2 cucumbers
4 garlic
3 medium whole beets
6 carrots
1 broccoli plant
1 bunch spinach
1 lb green beans
2 to 4 Red Bell peppers
2 Romain lettuce plants
2 bunches Swiss Chard
For the garlic take a small amount of the juice and put it in a blender. Smash the garlic and add to the juice in the blender. Liquefy the garlic in the juice with the highest setting on the blender. Then pour the juice back in the rest of the juice and mix thoroughly.
Do you have a Book out I subbed you,You told me more in one video then all the videos and books I readThank you!!!❤🎉👍👍💟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I will be trying intermittent fasting to see what my blood sugar will do thanks
Please mention the breakdown of the measurement between mold and regular readings like figures 100 105 110 for regular meters
It a wonderful presentation .very practical thanks
Have you ever fainted from low blood sugar? , btw good channel!
I’m a type 1 diabetic who’s blood sugars are quite erratic due to underlying health issues but after going onto the bolus advisory course of insulin my hba1c has greatly improved. The one problem that I do have though is my blood sugars can crash overnight so I try to make sure that I have something to eat (unless my blood sugars are high) before bed. My biggest problem at the moment, not blood sugar related though, is that my weight has increased since I have stopped smoking and the general fatigue that has come from my extra weight.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Check out moringa powder, but be careful there may be interactions with blood and diabetic prescriptions.
I have a pet type 1 diaberic, I have tried every experiment and tactic, from no carb to all kind of supplements and much much more, the veridict in that case was, no matter if high, med ot low carb the thing is finding the exact right dose of Insulin, even on keto she manifested 500+ blood glucose.
Supplements what they did is Regulate the BG, And I have tested litteraly around 100 types, the staple is one combo from jarrow formula is called glucose oprimizer but the champ in my experience is Cinnamon. The unusual recipe for a better bg levels is making her playful as possible. That is my rxperience of 4 years with a type1 diabetic pet
Very good message but the problem is in developing countries we lack the instruments to measure the needs eg the GI etc
being type 2 diabetic with frequent foot ulcers makes my walking limited , so I found to lower my blood sugar level from 8 to 6 was by eating 300 ml of fruit bottom yogurt , it works foe & I hope works for you as well
I think its great that after 35 years you have your
where can I get the monitoring watch that you also have?
I love HiiT exercise but now have torn the meniscus in both knees. I can’t do HIIT exercise any longer due too much stress on the knee joints. Any suggestion on low knee stress exercises that have same effects as hiit exercises?
I have low metabolism due to lack of exercises. Currently using a glucose monitor to adjust my diet to my new condition. But does not seem to be enough. Calf raises are great, but feel I am over doing it.
Walking can cause stress on my knees. I am type 2 diabetic. I was in great shape before knee injuries.
Another data point for the benefits of zone 2 training. Thank you
hi, I m a type 1 diabetic. As you are an experienced person. And would like to help others, I have question that would really help me. WHAT SHOULD BE THE TIME LIMIT WHEN TAKING INSULIN AND HAVING OUR MEAL ?
I can't speak for others, but when I take insulin injections, they don't take effect until two hours later.
Hi there, very interesting video, it gave some insides. 5 years ago I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and after giving birth still had high bs in the morning, I have tried many different ways and interestingly only low fat plant base help me lower my bs. I couldn't believe it cause doctors always told me get rid of carbs, and honestly I hate it, don't feel comfortable with high protein foods. Anyways I didn't stick it for to long cause of social pressure. Now I am fasting quiet often and will start with low fat plant base diet 😊
Very informative, innovative, and creative presentation. Thank you.
🎉FANTASTIC EXPLANATION
A excellent and easy go on day to day God bless you
Very honest and useful videos sir. Thanks a ton.
My first time to know my sugar is to much high a1c 11.5 I am worried to much...so around 5pm I don't eat anything I don't eat sweet food anything, water I drinked regularly, I start walking... then From 269/I check again for two wks fbs 130... actually this is my first time to know that I'm diabetic....
Don’t be afraid to take Metformin , Metformin ER , extended release works well for me.
For me, 1u Fiasp brings me down by 3mmol within 20-30mins and that's assuming I haven't other exercise or insulin stacking going on.
Interestingly, exercise can raise my sugars in the morning, which kind of suggests the dawn phenomenon is chucking sugar out of my liver, which can be deceiving, then later in the day, it drops and stays 'dead' 😎.
Your channel is great and thank you for all your great advice which is very useful!
Okay so I have to ask, how are Type 1 diabetics managing a ketogenic diet without developing keto acidosis? The clinic I attend tells me frequently this is a terrible method of management but why?
Can you please tell me what type of Watch your using to get your glucose reading on? This I would love to know!
Can you suggest soft no chew foods please?
I love your tips
Veg,salad
What if your limited to walk. What other exercises I can do beside walking to help me lower my numbers?
