Tom, I noticed that when I eat food in the right order doesn't work for me, but when I do eat my food backwards it works 100 %
Did whole food plant based not work for you or was it just too boring/annoying?
@@SuziJacuzzie😅
@@myrhev , no plants base is not boring for me, it's just how my body works, everyone is different
No.
Summary (for me):
1. Don't eat naked carbs (sugars, sweets without fiber, simple carbs)
2. Put some fats, protein or fiber with the carbs you eat.
3. Eat a great breakfast (protein + fat preferentially).
4. Coffee after the breakfast (

I find eating a small handful of almond nuts before meals works wonders keeps glucose levels down amazing.
I wonder if a cup of unsweetened almond milk would do the same
How do you know? You measured?
I was diagnosed with type 2 2 mos.ago i startred jessie’s hack and within a month my hba1c is down from 58 to 49 which is good🙏
01:21 🍞 Avoid "naked" carbs, like toast with jam or fruit juice, as they cause significant blood sugar spikes.
02:29 🥑 Cover carbs with fat, protein, or fiber (e.g., Greek yogurt on cake) to slow down glucose absorption and reduce spikes.
04:06 🍳 Opt for a savory breakfast (e.g., omelet instead of pancakes) to avoid blood sugar spikes; fruits should be consumed whole.
06:10 🚫 Avoid coffee on an empty stomach to prevent blood sugar spikes, as caffeine can impact adrenaline production.
06:53 🍽 Sequence food consumption: Veggies first, proteins/fats second, and starches/sugars last to potentially reduce spikes by 20-30%.
09:08 🍴 Eating slower and taking breaks between courses can reduce blood sugar spikes, especially in carb-heavy meals.
11:27 🍰 Consume sweet foods as dessert after a balanced meal with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to moderate blood sugar spikes.
13:30 🥄 Drink vinegar before meals (or include in salad dressing) to potentially reduce glucose spikes by about 10-15%.
14:54 🍔 Stop obsessing over calorie counting; focus on food quality and impact on blood sugar levels instead.
16:05 🚶 Move after eating to help muscles absorb glucose; for insulin-dependent diabetics, consider pre-bolusing (injecting insulin before meals) based on CGM trends.
I found Jesse’s hacks including the injecting insulin about 10 minutes prior to meal the best thing that has worked for me. I have also gone a little further by including cruciferous vegetables (eg broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) with every meal.. if I’m making stews, casseroles or curries I cut the veggies in big chunks and place them in the pot for the last 10mins cooking time so that it steams and easily pick out when serving. Eating extra vegetables has really been a game changer for my diabetes and jesse’s hack helped even more..
You need only 1 hack = zero carbs in your diet. Go for keto or carnivore diet and forget about your diabeties forever. I almost do not eat any fruits/vegetables, I eat meat, fish, eggs, butter and my blood sugar is the same before and after meals nice and stable. My body weight is perfect.
Injecting insulin 10 or even 15 minutes before eating is not a hack. It's something that has been recommended to Type 2s for years. But one caveat: If you are eating out, make sure you don't inject your meal bolus before the server takes your order AND you ask your server how the kitchen is doing as related to time. If he or she says your order is going to take a while(explain to them why you are asking), then wait until you actually get your food to inject. I had a difficult time once when a favorite restaurant that normally served dinner about 20 minutes after ordering, didn't serve my dinner for almost 40 minutes after I took my dinner shot. I was going low, fast.
She vomits in fat people's mouths, sweat it out doctor.
Less than 3.5%.
Hach #7 has been a game changer for me. I would drink 2 cups then drive to work then eat breakfast. My stress level was already high before starting work, everyone iritated me, and I would have a wicked crash in the afternoon. I now drink coffeE after eating breakfast. No more afternoon crashes, much less stress, and my BP has gone down.
I have been eating pickles with everything and i noticed it seemed to be helping my blood sugar numbers. It is good to hear vinegar is helping.
Pucles usually has in ingredients sugar,
@@MsAlicia77 kosher fills that I eat do not. Bread and butter and some pickles do. I do not like sweet pickles much at all so I never buy them. I like hot and garlicky pickles.
Tom, thank you so much for all your information. My first husband was diabetic, so I am familiar with it, and at the age of 45, I developed severe reactive hypoglycemia. So need to follow the same diet, watch my blood sugars, etc. Medicare won’t pay for a CGM for me, but your vid’s convinced me that it would be money well spent to pay for one on my own instead of continuing to live in fear of another seizure from low blood sugar. I found Jesse a few months ago, also, and I don’t follow all her hacks, but through trial and error have figured which ones work the best for me. Between that, and the information you have, I have been able to slowly get back out into the real world again. Thank you so much for all your hard work !
Type II and I just got a CGM.. Medicare changed there rule on CGM this summer.. You may try again. I was given one by my endocrinologist.. It has already been a game changer for me..
I finished listening the Glucose goddess on audio books and UA-cam then recommends this video 😂. I’m not diabetic but I do have borderline hypertension and ever since I started paying attention to glucose levels m y blood pressure has been getting better.

KETO
I recently discovered your UA-cam channel and I really appreciate the free content. I’ve found it very helpful as a type 2 diabetic. I really wanted to book a 45 min consultation with you Tom but the $199 USD fee was a financial issue for me. I know you’re not offering medical advice and your time and is valuable of course but this fee is even more than what a medical specialist would charge for an initial consultation. I just wished it was more affordable.
I am a type 2 and I enjoy and benefit your contents. One of my regular lunch and diner, if available, is Yong To Fu with clear soup. I always choose bitter goud, lady finger, mushroom, tomato, bean curd, jalapeno, and a boiled egg. No rice or noodle and its very tasty
I've been doing most of these for a while(but the soleus exercise is new to me, thankyou). I find the vinegar hack is best served as a salad dressing on your pre meal salad. Make your own with balsamic vinegar, dijon, lemon juice and garlic powder. :)
Great tip!
She recommends to avoid balsamic vinegar if you can because it also contains sugar but any other vinegar will work
@@Lisa_is_an_evil_snailMy favorite restaurant only has balsamic vinegar. I'm going to have to keep better vinegar dressings at home and just use mine
An excellent exercise recommendation to do after a meal is squeezing your glutes. You can do this exercise while sitting or lying down. Squeeze your glutes 20-30 times, then hold for a few seconds. You can also engage your hamstrings while doing this exercise. Repeat this process for ten sets. The glutes are the largest muscles in your body, which means they have the potential to absorb and utilize the carbs (glucose) in your bloodstream.
TMI
Thank you
1. Don’t eat breakfast
2. Don’t eat processed foods
3. Don’t eat too much
4. Don’t drink soda or processed drinks
5. Don’t sit too much
Overall everything should be in balance
Nonsense. I lived like that all through my childhood up to 40 and still ended up with insulin resistance
There are no rules that apply to everyone. Everyone is an individual.
This is also what he said in the video.
These sorts of ACME general guidelines are just concepts for people who don't actually have Diabetes at all, are very new to being diagnosed with it, or are Type 2....which to be honest isn't even close to the same illness. Type 1 is deadly serious, and is based on having a non functional pancreas. IE: a vital organ that doesn't work. Made up for by taking synthetic insulin, which has quite it's own number of issues. But it's that or death, and fast....so you take it. That said, it's incredibly complex to manage as time marches on. The things you mention, most Type 1 people have always done. Because if they didn't, they'd probably be dead or missing limbs years back by now. That said, I usually find the people with so much advice to give are usually the people least qualified to say anything about it at all. Minus guys like Tom on this channel, who is truly Type 1, and talks about all the realities of it. He gives really good advice and things to try. As others have said, nobody is exactly the same. So some things work for some of us and not others. I love Tom's channel. Thanks for doing it Tom! I've been asked for years to do something similar or teach newbies at a hospital how to cope, manage, deal with the emotional and mental challenges of it all, etc. Because I've worked very hard and figured a lot of things out over decades. But alas, I'm not quite as courageous in that department as Tom to be in the limelight with it.
16 hours off - 8 hours on food
@ArqaDeaTribe incorrect.. there are type 2 diabetics who are insulin dependent and also have exactly the same seriousness as type 1.. we are a minor group which is more like a 1.5 ..
My pancreas no longer produces its own insulin .. and never will again.
Your guidance has changed my complete conept for type 2 diabetes thank you very much for all of your advise.God bless you.
The problem with taking your insuline 10-20 minutes before you eat is that you are not guaranteed to eat what’s on your plate, so it’s a big risk for hypoglycaemia
Not to mention that it can be difficult to know the carbs in advance, like at a restaurant. You also need to be really careful not to double down - it has happened to me quite a few times, when I've pre-bolus'd, and then our toddler has thrown a pre-dinner tantrum, and I've then gone on to take insulin again when sitting down out of habit.
Then I have to go raid the cupboard with the sweets...
❤ yes video
I am a type two diabetic and I found a lot of these very informative
Thank you for taking the time to go over each one of the steps and make it Easier to understand
Tom, Big Thank You. My Mother was Diabetic. We were Not Told. My Father was a Dr. He never told us kids that it Runs in the Family. I Eat Super Clean. But I have Been Self Educated . My Last Bloodwork, I Expected the Worst. I was Told, " Your Levels are Fine" " You are Fine". I was in Shock. How Could a Blood Test not Reveal a Problem. ? You are Helping So Many People.
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend!
Thank you for confirming Jessie's hacks. You provide a lot of credibility. The tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water is like a pre-bolus for those that are not T1 diabetes. Good information.
I am a type 2 diabetic. I use a glucometer. I think the best way for a diabetic to eat is to eat like a diabetic.
A lot of diabetics are scared of carbs, because they have not been educated on how to eat like a diabetic or because they don't want to be educated.
A diabetic is taught how to count servings of carbs.
1 serving of carbs is 15g of carbs except for non strarchy veggie, then the serving is 5g of carbs.
To find out how many servings of carbs you had, you divide the carbs by the serving of carbs.
Example: Bananas with 60g of carbs. 60/15= 4. That would be 4 servings of carbs.
If a carb number is close to 15g of carbs per serving, then it's still 1 serving of carbs. Example: Milk (12g of carbs).
A diabetic is taught to eat 15g of carbs/1 serving of carbs per snack. 45g of carbs per meal (3 servings of carbs).
It's very important that a diabetic pays close attention to the serving size, the carbs per serving and their portion control as in how much of that serving they are going to have. They need to know the glycemic index of food too.
Example: A serving of milk is 8oz. With 12g of carbs.
If you are a milk drinker make sure you have 8oz cups or glasses, because anything larger than 8oz will add up the carbs, etc.
The reason why I said to know the glycemic index because it will let you know where the food falls on the glycemic index range.
Low: 55 or less
Medium: 56 to 69
High: 70 and up
Another reason to know glycemic index because you will need it to find the glycemic load of your food
Glycemic Index remains the same, whereas Glycemic Load varies depending on carbs per serving and how much of the serving you eat known as portion control. It gives you a better picture on how fast your blood sugar rises.
Glycemic Load:.
Formula: Glycemic index x carbs per serving/100. Round to whole number.
Low: 10 or less
Medium: 11 to 19
High: 20 and up.
Example: Skim milk. Serving size: 8oz. Glycemic index:32, Carbs per seving 12g of carbs. If a person had 1 serving.
32 (GI) x 12g of carbs/100= 4
4 is a low glycemic load so it willl not raise blood sugar much.
Not only should a diabetic know their before snack or meal blood sugar number, they need to know the time they have taken the first bite of carb.
It's not hard managing diabetes.
Thank you for confirming Jessie’s book and hacks do have an effect on sugar spikes
Thank you very much. I have the e-book version of Jessie's "Glucose Revolution" book but I very much liked hearing your thoughts. I don't have Type one or Type two diabetes, but I do know the importance of monitoring and managing blood sugar for everyone. Jessie's 10 hacks made great sense to me, but it's reassuring to me that a very knowledgeable and articulate person with Type one diabetes (you) also sees the 10 hacks as legit and valuable. I also very much appreciated your review of all of the CGM's. In the near future I'll a CGM for a month too and really see how what I eat and how I eat it translates into my blood glucose levels. Nice job! Great content.
Where can I gin do it ? Link please
This is so crazy that I found this video. I was researching BGR from Duncan Hines Keto cake mix.
Being a UA-cam creator sometimes I just don’t have time to mix up my own so I’ve started using it lately in mug cakes. My BG didn’t seem to budge, even eating a couple crumb cake cupcake’s after my latest recipe. That brings me to my modifier, heavy whipping cream which added FAT!! Now have to make the recipe both way and see what show up on my cgm😊
Thanks for the excellent info
Thank you for dispelling myths like "diabetes is genetic" BRAVO!!
My age 60 years my hba1c 5.7 my fasting blood shuger level 96
KETO
Love your videos, TD1 for the last 40 years and a lot of what to eat or not eat has changed a lot. The coffee is something I do and always get a spike even if afternoon if I have empty stomach. Great advice and will try some of those hacks
I knew about these techniques from other UA-camrs so nothing is new. The only thing that is is that the info is being presented by a diabetic. That is new and a billion times more relatable. You made a good point that I totally overlooked. She and the others don't have this disease.
My A1c is at 5.4 (T2 and on no meds) and I still get spikes up to 180. They come back down but they shouldn't go that high. I think the hacks work for a while and the body gets used to it. The results I saw before don't seem to be happening now.
My a1c is 5.7 and no Spikes. Fasting 100-110. Doesn't make sense why my a1c is that high
@@nickbardan3867Don’t forget that stress can be a “silent” factor that everyone tends to overlook. It’s effects vary, so it’s hard to control. I’m T1 for 58+ years on pump therapy since 1985 and cgm since 2017, now with IQ control. I always say, if striving for a low average, then into every life there will be some highs and lows-that’s what makes averages! Best of luck.
Thank you for your feedback my friend!
First-timer on your channel, loved listening to you, subscribed. Your pace is perfect and you make no pre-knowledge assumptions; bravo! 30+ years as a Type I here with a cargo load of other non-related issues. The after-meal spikes have become increasingly intolerable and lengthy in the last 18 months, interfering with my ability to focus on the other problems sitting in the hold. Thank you very, very much for this August '23 video.
Baja Carbohidratos cariño , busca el canal del doctor Berstein
The best thing is to go for a walk after eating every meal. Also include a small salad or slaw w/apple cider vinegar with every meal. and beef seems to also keep the blood sugar spikes down as well.
A good tip to calculate pre-bolus timing, that works very well for me, is to divide my current BG by 10 and wait that many minutes before I start eating. For example, if I'm at 130, I inject the amount of insulin that I need for that extra 30, and also for the the meal I'm about to eat. And then I wait for 13 minutes.
The reason I love this tip is that it's so easy to follow. Anyone can do divisions by 10 hehe.
How does that work if you use Mmols
For mmol, you'd multiply your number X 18 to convert, then divide by 10.
@@tcrosslinho5565 I think the most similar method for mmol is to multiply the first number by 2 and thats your number of minutes to wait. So if you're at 7 mmol (130ish) you'd wait 14 minutes...
How do you correct for the extra 30?
I don't inject my entire insulin before the meal.
I inject 1/3rd before the meal and the other 2/3rd of the dose approximately 1 hour of the meal, this works for me because I LATE spikes.
Hurray you’re back 😁
A lot of these I’ve been doing through trial and error from my own “errors”. I ditched cereal for breakfast, for a while I’ve been having kefir, raspberries and blueberries. I then wait 1/2 hour and have a slice of whole grain toast.
I always eat some greens with my lunch niece I typically have Cous Cous with mackerel or any oily fish, with spinach and red onion and other bits. We always have salad with our evening meal, tonight we’re having pork, salad, and baby potatoes, I’ll apply the order you suggested to eat that meal. I’m not a sweet tooth but I’ve found the best ice cream hitch hardly spikes me (I know you love ice cream 😂), it’s Carte Dore, Light. It’s 11g carbs per 100ml, low sugar too.
I’ve started bolusing a lot earlier too. These past 3 weeks on my Libre 2 target has not dropped blow 90%, I’ve even achieved 100% for a few days which has blown me away 👍🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Today I’m at 99%.
Ive also really lowered my carb intake so I don’t need as much insulin now. It’s working so far and I enjoy the food I eat.
Thank you for sharing my friend! This is great!
@@TypeOneTalks No problem, take care 👍🏼
🌼Tom, I've been following your videos for several years and I continue to do so, as your info is so helpful. Thank! .
🍁I must add, THIS is the most important and helpful video you've ever made!!! 🌿 ANY Diabetic who is tired of reading all the tips, tired of learning that they must do this or that, can easily follow this video. Your tip at the end, about pre-bolusing is so incredibly powerful, I hope everyone watches this video & shocks their doctor the next time they get their A1C test. I shared it with my friend who's 7-year-old niece is a new diabetic, type 1. ✨✨✨ Please continue to make your videos, we are all healthier because of you. 🌞 ps I try to keep my A1C between 4.7 and 5.1 🌺
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed your video. I'm struggling with getting and keeping my blood sugar levels low. This video is helpful.
I have been having problems with my glucose levels. It is affecting my eyes. Retinopathy, even though I still only need glasses for driving. So I joined a gym and changed my diet. The difference is huge. I used to have a pre-breakfast reading of 10-20mlo. Now it is 5-7. I eat chicken, ham, cheese or eggs for breakfast. Salad with olive oil for lunch. Dinner is curry on a bed of beansprouts, stir-fry, or meat and veg. I swim 30 lengths 4-5 times a week or go for a 3 mile walk after meals.
If I want a chocolate kick I put a spoon full of coco powder in Greek yogurt . Sometime on top of sugar free jelly.
Before anyone complains about Coco powder. This is a teaspoon.
Protein (g) 0.98
Total lipid (fat) (g) 0.71
Carbohydrate, by difference (g) 2.96
Energy (kcal) 11.99
Sugars, total (g) 0.1
I have also lost 8lb in 3 week. I can go 7 hours without peeing at night now. LOL I would also add drinking plenty of water to these tips.
Exercise,exercise,exercise and then exercise some more type 2 is easily managed if you exercise that's the key and drink plenty of water
I was always told to eat protein first, too many carbs in vegetables to eat 1st
Protein/fat, vegetable or salad, (that is your carb,) no rice, pasta, potatoes or heavy carb food
& it works
Fat is even better. Try KETO.
From the list- lm inclined to agree with 2 points. The rest I think would be tempting for someone who wants to be disciplined with food. Good information for someone who doesn’t have blood sugar sugar trying to watch their weight or have a balance with food. Not so much with someone with elevated glucose.
Which 2 points and what do you not agree with?
Right Tom somebody that's not a diabetic can't tell me how to eat. I'm learning it's the way you eat makes a big difference.
Nah. It's the carbs. Just stop.
@UTAH100 it's how much carbs you have also!
@@gmatt2498 Humans need exactly zero exogenous carbohydrates. Zero. See Gluconeogenesis.
Hi there thanks so much for the video. quick question. I don't do breakfast. I drink two cups of TEA (not coffee) with soya milk on empty stomach in the morning when I get up. And eat one small bite of cheese BIRE. And snack on BIRE once more before first meal at 1-2pm lunch time. So my question doesTEA has the same effect like coffee ie: spiking glucose level or TEA does not spike gulucose level and is ok to do first thing in the morning.? Gratittude
Doubtful. Skip the soya milk. Small bit triggers a digestive cycle. Skip it. Body sees a snack- not a small one. That is your way of justifying your lack of willpower. Try KETO. You will have less cravings.
My Hack is to try and never eat foods that cause spikes in the first place.. Carbs and sweets I cut down 95%. Lots of meats fish cheese eggs and yogurt and nuts, veggies, and some fruits and heathy oils.
Yogurts are not easy to find with low carbs and no sugar. What brand do you buy?
@@carriewittbrodt5072 Fage 2% or 5% Greek yogurt. Don't get lowfat or non-fat, or you will feel hungry after. Having some fat is important!
@@carriewittbrodt5072try full fat kefir plain. Or stoneyfield whole milk plain. Don’t do flavored. If you want to, do those on cheat days…
Easy on nuts. I only blend a few walnuts for my coffee nut milk. I sprout them overnight to reduce the phytic acid. No flavored yogurts.
Yogurt has double the carbs of cottage cheese and you can use that almost always as replacement.
Benfothiamine is amazing and coconut oil which you can get in tablet form to measure it better. Try it out but be careful of lows. And berberine.
Did anyone else get hungry like me, just seeing the picture of different foods on this video. Sir, thank you, for sharing this video with us!
There are practical, and great advice for any one!!! I love the idea of eating food in the sequence that you suggested in order to minimize blood glucose's spike. Thank you for your life time commitment to help others!
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
You are amazing in very clear ways here!❤ Thank you 😊
1. Exercises especially walk 30 to 1hour a day
2. Avoid carbohydrates
3. Eat vegetables , protein and fat foods
4. Sleep well
5. Take multivitamins supplements
6. Intermittent fasting I.e eat once a day or two in 6 hours window
@Vegan-Ish73 You are correct. Our body, brain etc need sufficient clean carbs, unless one wants hypoglycemia and pass slam the hell out. Not what I want.
@@beverlyharward9631 100% agree, couldn't have said it better myself ;)
I was diagnosed with 'LADA' type 1 a couple of years ago. I got very ill, but have been doing well getting used to insulin. I'm 40. I want to learn more about living well with type 1. I hear folks talk about how a low carb diet is helpful, but I'm confused and would like to run something by everyone here. Before the hospital told me to start on insulin, I was exhausted all the time, losing weight rapidly, and feeling like crap, because the carbs in my diet / the glucose in my blood weren't being converted into energy for my cells. At least, that's how I understand it. So, how would a low carb diet be different? Granted, if I ate very little carbs I wouldnever be hyperglycemic, but wouldn't I also be lacking in the energy we get from carbs? So it seems like it is better to eat a moderate amount of carbs and use insulin to try to imitate a working pancreas. Am I thinking about that in the right way? I would love to get some perspectives from other diabetics as I feel quite alone with this condition
The best diabetic video I've ever seen. Thank you for all your research and for sharing it. Diabetes is such a complicated disease, but I am positive I can control it so much better now.
Thank you for sharing, watching from Kuwait
I put hummus on my food along with chia seeds and it works brilliantly. Hummus on a piece of sugar-free bread along with my protein, spike avoided.
I also suffer of chronical insomnia and this affects my glucose .
Why?
Dude, you are the greatest. Traditional (Braziian savory free) breakfast is our killer. Yet changing it for LITTLE savory, will let us hungry and craving enough to ''face'' a big starch free salad with preffered proteins at lunch, with great pleasure. oR JUST START your day nutrition with an early starch poor lunch. This hack is also magnificent for weight control. Hate hotels with breakfast included, lol
I've found that honey roasted peanuts don't spike my glucose so a handful of them at dessert works for me. I've lost 35 lb since March (after a quad bypass in the interim) after 4 months. I also did a restrictive calorie diet keeping it to around 1200 calories along with intermittent fasting. I'm a type 2 and I'm hoping to get my system back under control, so I can occasionally eat some of the foods I like. I need to lose another 20 or 25 lb before I'm satisfied.
Skip the lectin full peanuts.
@@MOAB-UT Ah, yes, remove the one thing that I enjoy. Thanks, I'll get right on that.
Dr. Charles Brineger was one of the top experts in diabetes and made eating simple. 1+1+2 one protein, one fat, two carbs.
16:50 - pre-food insulin injection is something I have been doing for about a year, and I consume food about 30 minutes after this, depending on my CGM readings
Fabulous explanation of JK’s stand.
Excellent, I do many of these through life trials and testing as a 50 year old type one diabetic. Would love to have a one pager to remember the others if you could
Thanku v much. I will try this on my husband who is a diabetic for 35 yrs.
KETO.
These advices are useful for someone that do not have metabolic problems and is eating the regular nutrition.Not for someone who has metabolic pathology,or is trying to be keto are NOT !!!
Yeah, I'm struggling. But my sugar goes low alot so I eat something that makes me feel better fast because I hate that feeling.
If you are taking insulin, get your basal rate adjusted. It should not be going that low, unless your bolus rate is too high for the food you are eating
Interesting fact about coffee, thanks for sharing
One thing I would add to this is to try to avoid carbohydrates close to your bedtime. I found this can cause spikes in the middle of the night especially if you are doing MDI.
The best way to avoid glycemic spikes is to avoid the types of carb-rich food mentioned in the video!
True, but at times it's more difficult so it's good to know things you can do to help mitigate the spikes. For example, when you're invited to a family or friend's place for dinner.
Bingo! 🏆
We don't "need" to eat chocolate cake, rice, noodles, and bread any more than we need to eat poisons or anything else we know is bad for us.
@Vegan-Ish73 it’s not a matter of being scared of carbs as much as it is to eat healthily and engage into a disciplined lifestyle. Eating carbs and adjusting with insulin, though feasible- would result in weight gain and decrease in insulin resistance…
Chocolate cakes isn't particularly "naked" carbs.. it's pretty fat to begin with.
I have to disagree on the vinegar at this point in time. Being a research scientist I have read many papers on this and some studies say it works, some studies say it doesn't work and some studies are inconclusive. So do it if you wish, but the science does not support it at this time.
There is a theory that the people who do gain a small benefit from drinking vinegar feel that it helps. In other words it's a placebo but there is nothing wrong with a placebo because of placebo, if you believe it works, will lower your stress level. This lowers cortisol which can affect the uptake of insulin. Stress can help produce sugar spikes. This is not proven by studies yet as it's just a theory. But more and more stress seems to be able to aggravate more and more medical conditions.
And let me emphasize that there is nothing wrong with the placebo effect. If it works, great.
Very Informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Keep your liver happy.
I have type 2 and take metformin and glipizide. Some of these hacks I have been doing for years. What has also helped me is eating a low carb, no added sugar vegan diet and regularly working out. That being said I wanted to throw a warning that I experienced. For 6 months I was put on a hormonal birth control for peri-menopause. Then last Oct. I found out that the HBC had elevated my A1-C so I stopped taking it immediately at the suggestion of my PCP.
Curious, why vegan?
@@calibby85 I tried it as an experiment and let's just say my body had such a wonderful positive reaction. Also there's just something about eating something that was once living that's kind of gross.
@@creationslandscapedesignss were once alive too. Life feeds on life.
While researching it was mentioned about taking steroid medication, and birth control was included in this. Which I had no idea birth-control would contain steroid. This is interesting and deserves more research.
As for eating, something that was living, everything you eat lives including vegetables. Also, in the food chain everything beats everything smaller pretty much like that.
Thanks for good clear ideas, been diagnosed with type 2 and trying to see what helps, the walking straight after dinner worked great. Move it or loose it i guess .
Pre-bolusing is the best. I tipically pre-bolus between 20 to 30 minutes before the meal, but this obviously depends on the macros of the meal and my prior glucose level. If done right I can completely avoid the spike. However big meals are dangerous: when the meal is bigger than usual I have to reduce the time because my digestion slows significantly and it is easy to end with a hypo followed by a delayed spike.
God bless you and yours! Greatly appreciated!
One more Bonus point from my side for reducing the fasting blood glucose level - have a teaspoon of Apple Cider vinegar added in a glass of water and have it before you go to bed the previous night. You will certainly see the fasting blood sugar level getting reduced the next morning!!! Keep doing this regularly to see a marked improvement in your fasting sugar levels.
Drink it with a straw to protect your teeth.
Does it make you lose weight?
Thank you for posting and sharing these tips. I have been trying these tips.
Thanks for the video. I always drink coffee with unsweetened almond milk in the morning. I have my savory breakfast around 12. Almost always within range until 4-5 am. "clothingc coffee with milk saves my morning. Give it a try
Thank you so much for chia seed knowledge I love them
Please continue educating me! I thank you for all the good information I’m learning from you ❤
You are so welcome!
Awesome video. I follow Jesse as well and I have used vinegar with meals on occasion. Thank you for this great information.
YOUR THE BEST...Thank you so much for spreading the words that are so very true.
Thank you so much my friend!
I am not big fan of sugar. I can live without sweet at all. And I have Diabities. Even when I eat cake I don’t have spikes. Some times it doesn’t mate what I eat or eat at all my sugar level does’t change much. I have highest in the morning, lower at noon, and it starts elevated second part of the day. Gets highest in the morning again. I exercise every day. I am drinking just water or herbal tea. Strangle to loose wait.
I just watched the video by Dr. Marc Hamilton, who developed the soleus push-up and his technique was significantly different than yours. So Id just encourage people to check out the short video by the creator of SPU’s, even though it sounds like the exercise as you did, clearly showed a benefit for your blood sugar reduction. 👍
This is a good presentation. It provides us many real life usefulness. Thank you I have learned from your works. I hope that many will view your video and learn a few thing from it. Again, thanks.
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
Can AC vinegar capsules replace liquid vinegar as I hate vinegar?
According to her book, no. They don’t act the same way. Apple cider vinegar is a little milder than regular vinegar, and you dilute it 1 Tablespoon into a large glass of water. I then use a straw and push it pretty far back in my mouth so I don’t taste it much anymore. The first few days were a little tough, but you do get used to it.
Just found you recently…..I am so glad I did. Am learning a lot….just found your recipes. Thanks!!!😊
I have a CGM and Jessie’s hacks work for me too!
WOW! Always learn important things from your videos, but this one was THE best! Thanks! Keep up the great work.
You are terrific! Good health to you!😊
Good tops. For what it's worth- IMHO you look great and very healthy.
Nice 10 hacks, thanks! But if they are great from a qualitative point of view we would love to know more with a CGM how they actually impact glucose spikes.
I have a CGM, and can tell you definitively that my spikes are not as high, I have longer periods of stable sugars now, and my low sugar alarm (I have reactive hypoglycemia so have to worry about sugars going too low) has gone from alerting me 4-6 times a day to every few days.
Eating one thing in order has always been hard for me because I like taking a bite of each thing on my plate at the same time. lol. BUT, I followed your instructions before eating lunch today, and it really did a great job of not letting my sugar spike. 👍👍
Good advice Tom.
Thanks 👍
Great video, thank you so much!
I know this is a year old but hoping you will see this .what is the pudding you put on your fruit .ty 😊

No coffee on empty stomach? What if I am in a fasting state and drink bullet coffee?
Pay attention to the heat of the coffee as that can destroy the Fat you pour into it. 140F+ is a problem.
I do not have diabetes but it does run in my family. Would using these hacks before getting diabetes (if I ever actually get it) help me to stay healthy and keep diabetes away? Just wondering.
poor diet ran in your family- not diabetes. sorry.
Have you considered testing the Mastering Diabetes diet of eating no fat for a few weeks and see if helps lower your insulin despite eating fruit and whole grains? It's still low sugar diet but not low carb. It's high complex carbohydrates and very high fiber.
Sone say that diabetes is a fat-problem in the metabolism.
It is another trend.
One thing I learned is that to have your level @ 4-4.5 before eating. That will help. So 2 hours before I eat I check my glucose level and if it is high, I'll try to get it lower. If I start off eating and I am high it only stands to reason that my sugars will only go higher.
