Type 2 diabetes can be reversed with an extremely low calorie diet (see my last video: Reversing Diabetes with Surgery nutritionfacts..... And as this video shows, type 2 diabetes can be reversed with an extremely healthy diet, but is that because it was also low in calories? That’s the million dollar (death?) question that I answer in my next video: Diabetes Reversal: Is it the Calories or the Food? (nutritionfacts..... Hold onto your hats, it’s going to be quite a doozy!
I’ve touched before at the ability of healthy diets to both prevent (Plant-Based Diets and Diabetes nutritionfacts....) and treat (Plant-Based Diets for Diabetes nutritionfacts....) type 2 diabetes. It’s so exciting to be plugging in the final puzzle pieces.
What about the benefits of blood sugar medications and more moderate diets? When Drugs & Diets Don't Lower Diabetes Deaths (nutritionfacts.....
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at nutritionfacts.... and he'll try to answer it!

I'm type 1 diabetic and can testify to the power of plant based diets. I increased my insulin sensitivity by 300% with a high carb, low fat, low protein, high fibre, whole food, plant based diet.
+High Carb Diabetic Ⓥ May I ask, how much less insulin do you use? Are you adjusting for the fact that you are eating more carbs? Lastly, why low protein?
+High Carb Diabetic Ⓥ Thank you for sharing your experience.
Lysander Dusseljee I used to have an insulin to carb ratio of 1:10. My average over a year is 1:30-35 now. High protein causes health problems. Daily protein requirements are very small.
+High Carb Diabetic Ⓥ That's great, good for you! Thanks for sharing!
VeggieGiant Cheers mate :)
These videos should be broadcast on television every single day. Imagine the effect on the worlds health if that happened. Just love these video`s. Speaking the truth and smashing through the lies told us by big business and the health services, oh sorry, they are one in the same thing.
+Vegan Minimalist Mark Disease services, if you please. Agree 100%. We need this message out there.
+Vegan Minimalist Mark I've been spending time with the help of my son studying curing diabetes and found a fantastic website at Diabetes Crusher Tactic (check it out on google)
Cheers for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for reversing diabetes minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.

Guys, it works. And we can eat as much as we want. We just have to emphasize (or restrict ourselves to) certain foods - unrefined plants. Particularly high nutrient low calorie ones - greens (lettuce, kale, broccoli), non starchy veggies (onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower), beans, and fruit. And some starchy veggies, whole (intact) grains, And some nuts and seeds. Unlimited fruit! Small amounts of nuts and seeds. We can even have a small amount of animal foods or refined plant foods (less than 10% of total calories - not much - but we don't have to completely give up something, if that's a sticking point). (The 10% isn't necessarily what's best for optimal health or what's maximally ethical, but just an allowance, so we don't get freaked out and not even do what we can.) You can choose how healthy you want to be. I think as healthy as possible is a good choice, but even eating 50% of your calories from whole plant foods should cut your heart disease, cancer, and dieabetes progression in half. And that's very significant. Obviously 90% sounds much better, but if it's a choice between 50% (or whatever) and none, go for as much as you can. One thing though, it can actually be easier to give up junk food by giving it up entirely. When you only eat healthful foods, and don't eat addictive junk foods, your taste buds improve, and cravings go away. It's why AA recommends not drinking at all. It's easier. And conversely trying to have a drink once in a while would cause a lot of recovering alcoholics to completely relapse. It's not really a good goal. But, again, if it's a sticking point, shoot for 90%. Don't use, "I can't give up _____" as an excuse to not eat as much healthful foods as you can. In practice, you can eat the healthful ones first, and then if you still want to eat the junk food later. It's like, I'll stay sober today, and if I want to relapse tomorrow, I'll do it then. It gets you through the day. And after a good nights sleep (maybe a meeting or whatever), it might not seem important the next day. Run the gambit, large salad, bean chili, frozen mango blended into a a sorbet - I mean you might be pretty satisfied after a healthful feast. Secondly, if you still eat the junk, you might eat less after stuffing yourself on healthful foods. I think the main thing, more than unhealthful cravings, is simply knowledge and practice. You have to do it for awhile, before you know what to make, and before you get used to it. Watching yourself get leaner, and watching symptoms of diseases go away, and getting off medication, don't exactly hurt motivation, either. Embrace it.
please watch DOMINION and stay away from animal flesh and secretion foods... if there are vegan alternative and we don't have to hurt innocent animals in horrendous unwatchable ways, (seriously their life is hell on earth) why do we?
Dr Greger, I came across your research, work, and care for others an hour ago.... and so grateful!
May the Lord bless you and keep you! Abundance of blessings!
I did the starvation diet 600 cal a day for 2 monthes as the Newcastle study described and it worked. I didn't have great willpower just enormous fear. Perhaps Drs should check which of their patients are scared enough.
Funny, I can live on 500 kcal, but 600 cal is too little even for my cat.

would it be to much to ask you to replace the animal flesh with a vegan alternative? Please watch DOMINION right here on youtube - chickens are seriously the most abused birds on the planet and you just can't believe what we put thse innocent and intelligent loving birds through... :(
EAT HEALTHY... PERIOD
Why would want to eat the effluvia of a woman's menstruate cycle? Ha 😉
Uncle Greger, ripping it up with food Truth. Nice to see him getting some column inches on the Daily Mail website.
+Gentle Brother Here's A Quick Way To Solve A Problem with diabetes treatments

More like Father Greger or at least Brother!
Swapped to a Plant Based Whole Food diet because of my partner's heart problems and with my medication my HbA1C dropped to 5.8 and so I came off one of my drugs - initially the plan was to do it slowly with lots of blood sugar monitoring but when my measurements were coming out critically low - I took myself completely off the sulfonuryl I was taking - telling my diabetologist and checking three times daily that things did not creep up again. I have had the odd spike when I was ill and didn't take my medication etc. but otherwise I have been in the "green" zone - what my app on my phone considers "healthy".
Sir, why don't you give conclusion at the end of every video you publish.
Will meat eaters read the "limiting animal products to 12 oz/week" as,
'See? See? I don't need to give up meat! All those plant based doctors are wrong.'
Definitely cherry-picking, yes?
+Smudgemom2003 They also gloss over the studies that say alcohol is bad.

+Schpankme Verimuch But.. but.. I only eat off an asbestos plate once a week, I'll be fine right?
+Schpankme Verimuch Idiot.
+Smudgemom2003 Well, it's limited to less than 10% of calories in conjunction with any processed grains, or oils, so it's pretty clearly not something you want to eat more of. But a diet consisting of mostly unprocessed fruits, veggies, and beans is going to be very healthy compared to a pure vegan diet consisting of oil and pasta. The question of of what's optimally healthy would suggest further limiting animal foods and processed foods.
"then they start plowing in the plants" ...That chart was only ever going one direction :) Emphatic results!
I was having some symptoms luckily my Doc says i don't have Diabetes just slightly high cholesterol. Regardless I changed up my diet and started exercising already feeling better.
i personally know a diabetic whois went vegan and his sugar level improved
oatmeal/barley with fruit
big salad with nut/seed dressing, fruit
vegetable bean soup, fruit
steamed/stewed greens with other veg, fruit
This doesn't seem like enough daily calories to me. Is it?
Michael Helpingstine I think it would depend on the serving sizes.
I can't wait to see "Food as Medicine" in April! My husband and I are super excited!
My mom and dad both had a stomach reduction surgery because otherwise they die, obviously. Both diabetic, etc. They now 'fixed' the 'problem' of not 'getting enough food' by eating more callory dense food, more often. *forehead slap*. I'm going to lose my folks. What can i do. They just keep packing in even worse garbage and more often and wonder why their expensive surgery on our collective input hasn't worked. I would totally vote for a rule that says, if you don't manage to get healthy and lean after X amount of time after surgery, (excluding any mental or genetic issues, of course) you will have to pay back the medical bill yourself. Lets see how many people suddenly get the message.
This is not about 'fat shaming', it's about the extreme rise in medical and societal costs. My medical insurance now almost costs as much as my *rent* every month and it's *mandatory*, we don't *get* a choice in Europe. My generation is being financially *decimated* by the previous generation, sitting in their fat cars, and giant homes, eating a kings meal 5 times a day, see a doctor twice a week and our generation can't even afford ourselves the *basics*, never mind wanting to start a family, because life.... just costs too much. Think about it. I'm healthy and lean but i pay for all of this. Plus... my folks are going to die way before their time. Just waiting for the phonecall... any day now. I won't be surprised and i won't cry. I grieve over them every day already. I'll just shake my head and move on with my day. Such a shame there is no sensible, long term follow-up and nutrition counseling for these people. All of it has gone to waste and it's not something they can repeat. They had one shot at it, they missed. I can't even eat their food. Everything she cooks is brown, stuffed with meat and sauce and overcooked vegetables and starch is 'bad for you and makes you fat', mmhmm, yeah....
Thank you sincerely, Dr. Greger, for enlightning the rest of us.
Preventive diet is the way forward in medicine.
+melovescoffee You know I too had a parent that was non compliant. I think after leaving behind an abusive childhood, followed by an abusive first husband she decided anything after that would be heaven and that she was "in control" of whatever she wanted to eat. Control, yes. Good judgement in using that control, no.
While she had a triple heart bypass early on in her early 40s, I somehow found the inspiration and motivation to change my own health around. Sometimes the blending in of that was a challenge for me. Sometimes this was more with my beliefs (why isn't she taking responsibility for her health, why isn't she aware of what she's doing to herself) than my actions (cooking my own food my own way, etc).
Sadly she passed away from a heart attack after increased fight with diabetes (non compliant diet, weight gain and three amputation surgeries on her left leg).
Near the end my father began taking small steps, eating some of my food.
I played the gentle, silent yet present healthy food eater.
As i detached myself from the result, he eventually started eating more and more healthy and is mostly plant based.
While I was sad that my mother chose her path this way, I still am so happy that i didn't let that difference (of choice) draw us apart.
Hold tight and keep being the light.
+Edwin Vega So sorry to read about your mother; so happy to read about your dad. What a wonderful gift you are as a child. Thanks for posting this, and for your support of others here.
+melovescoffee "My medical insurance now almost costs as much as my rent every month and it's mandatory, we don't get a choice in Europe" Curious, what country is that?
I love your story. I mostly want to underscore your conclusion. melovescoffee must stop taking responsibility for other people's health. It is impossible, and ultimately will make matters worse for both himself and his parents.
My hbA1C is 6.2. I want to lower it below 5. I’m 5 ft 11 but I weigh 235 lbs. I’ll start by reducing my weight below 200 lbs
..Thanks for all your video presentations ! I watch them, regularly.
I have undertaken a low carb diet and am losing almost a pound a day, which will surely help my diabetes and copd. Thank you very much for your inspiration. rc
Can you please make a video discussing the accuracy of the Cronometer app that many vegans and non-vegans use to track their daily nutritional intake? Would relying on this app to guide one's diet be more harmful than good?
Thank you!
Reputable source and you confirm a number of their foode entries why won't it be good?
Curious: Did they do low carb veggies, or did they have the 3 servings of whole grains, 3 servings of beans and Fruit? The other question I would have is: when did they eat their food: Spread through the day, in two meals or all at once in one meal?
I am living proof that Type 2 Diabetes can be reversed. My heaviest recorded weight was 276 lbs. I just now weighed myself, 170.6 lbs. Along the journey of sweating off the pounds I have cured myself of diabetes, high blood pressure and maintain cholesterol levels my physicians are envious of.
My commitment to riding my bicycle as much as possible, instead of driving a motor vehicle, was a huge factor in my success, but that's another story. I changed my diet as well and in the span of a couple of years was pronounced to be non-diabetic. I haven't tested my blood sugars in years.
I never used any medication for diabetes.
Since then I have made more changes, avoid wheat of all kinds, my diet is now primarily (90%+) vegan and I shun processed foods. I have a cooked yummy porridge for breakfast and the rest of my meals tend to be raw salads - made from scratch of course, and fruit, nuts and seeds.
I do eat other things occasionally, including meat.
Do you monitor glucose levels in vegan foods or do you eat whatever plants you want, as long as they are whole? Do you eat things like bananas, dates, oranges?
@@antoninaorlova2169 I stopped measuring glucose. I eat fruit, banana every day, blueberries, strawberries, dates, etc.
I generally don't eat oranges or pineapple.
I try to eat a whole foods diet.
@@herbdaum2830 could I ask you to watch DOMINION on youtube? This documentary shows just what kind of hell we put the animals through for their "meat" which, clearly is unhealthy for us.. These days there are a lot of vegan alternatives to flesh (beyond meat sausages etc are excellent!) and they aren't whole foods but if you are treating yourself with taste variation, please consider doing it without paying for unwatchable cruelty against the innocents. Thank you!
Starting today!
Why the hell would you need a control group??? This is so obvious is ridiculous.
+Vegan Baptista Ⓥ Because that's the only thing that confers legitimacy, apparently.
tamcon72 The control group are themselves before the intervention.
Vegan Baptista Ⓥ I agree with you, but that's not how the research works: You need a whole separate cohort of people eating the way the improved individuals did before the intervention.

+Vegan Baptista Ⓥ Yeah, do these patients ever spontaneously recover? They all had diabetes for, like, 8 years did it say? And they recovered completely in 8 months or something, maybe less? Does this ever happen?
1:48 diet plan
2:30 diet result
is there anyway to know specifically what was included in their diet? I mean there meal plan in details.
best I can find from the study: Foods are rated based on total micronutrient content per calorie, which emphasizes consumption of greens and other non-starchy vegetables, such as onions, mushrooms, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and cauliflower, in unlimited quantity. High glycemic, high carbohydrate foods are reduced, while beans, peas, squash and intact grains are permitted. Nuts and seeds are the primary source of fat, while animal products are limited to 10 percent of calories or less. Basic recommendations include:
1) At least one large green salad a day, with inclusion of a nut/seed derived salad dressing.
2) One bowl of vegetable-bean soup daily.
3) 1 - 2 ounces of raw seeds and nuts daily (usually in salad dressing recipe).
4) Approximately 3 - 4 fresh fruits per day.
5) One large serving of steamed or stewed greens, with mushrooms, onions and other low-starch veggies.
6) Only one serving a day of non-bean starch, such as squash, steel cut oats, brown/wild rice.
7) Exclusion of white flour, sweets, and oils, while limiting animal products to 12 ounces per week.

Tnx and like
This was Dr. Fuhrman here - I recognize the diet description.
gran trabajo!!!
That makes sense. I have been vegan for a year but I eat too much potatoes, rice and bread and also some sweets and flour sometimes. I need to incorporate more greens and beans to eliminate my insulin problems and lose weight :)
+BeFantasy Im no expert just a cheerleader. I think a lot of folks would say the potatoes/rice are more than ok as they are whole foods; where the processed foods with oil, sugar, fat, salt may be roadblocks here. It's all a (sometimes lengthy process). Congrats on one year! I'm at 1.5 years and certainly not always "perfect". But WOW have I changed and fully embodied this change.
KEEP GOING!
Edwin Vega Hey, thanks :) But I actually eat low fat vegan diet (almost no oil at all). However the rice/flour/bread I eat is white (which mean processed) and I want to reduce it for some time and try to eat more whole food and see if it's gonna help. Because I want to cure it with veganism (not any paleo shit) so I hope it's gonna work ;)
@@BeFantasy drink hibiscus tea and yeah stick with whole grains like quinoa and beans and less white flour and white rice
This worked for me.
I thought that diet looked familiar. It's Joel Fuhrman's!
Can anyone recommend anything on Diabetes type 1? I have a client who has it and wants to watch videos on it. Thanks!
My doc told me type 2 was not reversable after a few years of worsening weight and increasing meds I went ketovore lost 50 lbs in 5 months in off meds and a1c is 5.4
my mom takes care of an old man. he has diabetes. she stated giving him oatmeal three times a day an now he doesn't take insulin. though he does have to eat on time or his blood sugar will drop

I still have to read, research, read... so much, I am doing everything to help my husband who was diagnosed with T2D, never thought it will come to our home. Well, we work in South Korea, and the Doctor would not speak English, so, after they gave us the whole package who knows what, I am sure the right prescription drugs for taking it twice a day and we were asked to come back in three months. Can you imagine?! Well, the first things we did, we prayed and gave thanks to the LORD for He is Good and all things work together for the good of those who love the LORD! First I came across a video on Diabetes association in the UK. Read a lot...Discovered things I never thought exist... Well, now I pray for all the sick around the world knowing what people are going through. We started eating (myself included) LCHF diet, not exactly a diet but close to that. I do still eat sometimes bagels with cheese for breakfast.
My husband lost 20 KG since then, did not start any physical exercises yet. When going back to the Endocrinologist after I think two months not three... she was amazed and said (suddenly she spoke English) whatever you do keep doing it, it works. Well, my husband still takes the prescription drugs - twice day -(still we do not know what are they) they put them into separate sealed plastic and you receive them before leaving the hospital We need to go back in a week!!! We monitor the glucose in blood every other day. It is in range of 103-107 (US).
I just want to thank every one of you who cares and gives their precious time to help those in need. Your work will not go unnoticed. We are thankful!
So grateful that I came across Dr Andreas, Dr Michael on Twitter, and now your work.
With gratitude!
What would a typical walk in clinic doctor say about this i wonder..
awesome video
Got food?
Yessssssssss, great video!
I tried this and I can confirm I am no more Diabetic.. :-)
nix the whole grains...for the most part undigestible
It pains me to see such important studies done on only 13 patients. No seriously. It should be easy to find enough diabetics to enroll.
even type 1?
My father in law just had his leg was due to infection caused by diabetes...but that's not the worst part. In addition to ignoring the scores on his leg, his feet had been numb for a while. While he was sleeping his little dog nawed off his toes. He woke up...that's when he finally went to the doctor. Evidently the infection was so bad to his dog, his toes smelled like rotting meat. No joke. I literally just found this out an hour ago. He's 72 years old.
Si uno es colombiano no puede entender en inglés
Really interesting they still lowered a1c substantially being able to eat meat 4oz 3x week
So how does it work? Stop using medication and just do the plantbase diet? + how much calories?
+mustafa kaya No, never stop taking your medicine on your own., talk with your doctor.
+ragweed1217 Who's not going to like it (in many cases), because you're screwing around with his change purse.
Continue with the medication. Change the diet. Monitoring your blood glucose regularly. Keep adjusting the medication as the situation improves. And in many cases, until you are taken off them completely
Start Plowing in the Plants!😃

people all over this planet are getting results I found out about this from reading site take a look now just google for Diabetes Crusher Tactic

Have you guys ever heard of judging a study by not just whether it works, but by whether people do the diet. For example, I heard a critique (I believe by Campbell of Fuhrman) that said he should include people he counseled but that did not follow the diet. That sounds strange. I guess then you're testing both the efficacy of the diet and whether people will follow it based on counseling, but I think, for the people who actually want to follow it, they'd be interested in how well it works - I mean if you actually follow it. I think we can all agree that listening to motivational speeches about exercising isn't going to anything for us if we don't go exercise. I suppose we could measure whether they actually motivate people.
dominating like a boss!
i have been on a plant based diet for 1 year, and my a1c dropped from a 5.7 to a 5.0, but my glucose is still at 113 why, can anybody help me
Jesse Davis you find out?
Still eating too many starchy carbs. To drop ur sugars and insulin u gotta cut the carbs and have more fats.
I would recommend you review the carbs seriously. Carbs like Rice, wheat, etc are over processed. Ensure More of Fresh/Whole Foods. Also, your 113 is it 2hours post meal? If that is the case it isn’t so bad to be alarmed.
What`s about Type-1 ? Is there a "nutritional" way, too?
Tengo diabetes tipo 2 me la detectaron a mis 72 años eso me tiene muy triste
here's a radical thought... why not eat... *gasp* ... better AND less food..? so easy on a plant based diet thanks to the satiety from fibre etc.
Go join any keto or low carb Facebook group. Search A1C. Virtually all of the people on low carb diets for about 3 months or more have also lowered their A1C to non-diabetic numbers. So again, Mr. Greger, why the recommendation for no animal products? Why the dogma?
Let's not recommend foods to diabetics that are toxic to the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Because in his theory avoiding carbs and eating mainly fat is not a cure. They lowered A1C because they avoided carbs. Avoiding the pool because of phobia for water is not a cure to the phobia. The cure must be such that the person is able to overcome the phobia and swim perfectly.
For a cure, the person must be able to return to eating carbs again without any health risks or adverse reactions.
Why no control group yet? it would be easy to proof that fat is the issue
Hello Doctor I am going to college to become a RD is that a good job field to enter and what are they daily tasks no one has been able to answer that for me.
+Xavier Johnson I volunteer at the nutrition department in a hospital and know a few RDs there.
Whether that is a good job field or not is up to you.
They do paperwork, meet with ill patients to talk about their diet (their preferences). Doctors ultimately decide their diet (renal/CHO 1800-200/Regular/Liquid/etc.), which sucks in my opinion.
You will have to know science really well and have excellent memorization skills (I am applying for nutrition food and science in my college).
So try to volunteer in a hospital where there are RDs and ask them questions.
+Karen Mai I should mention that RD can also work with athletes, too. So there are various fields RDs can be in.
I got excellent news today. I had my 90-day update on my blood test for diabetes after my 1st diagnosis and I no longer have it. The results are even better than what I was measuring with my glucose meter.
6/12/2023
>Hemoglobin A1c 5.1 % (Estimated Average Glucose 100 mg/dL (65 - 153 mg/dL normal)
3/10/2023
>A1c 8.9% (Estimated Average Glucose 209 mg/dL (65 - 153 mg/dL normal)
I had a lot of stressors that may have triggered high glucose and insulin intolerance. I had kidney stones, 2 root canals, crooked spine and sciatica, so a lot of inflammation. To comfort the way I was feeling I became addicted to sugary drinks and I spiraled downward. Fortunately, it was such a short period I don't think I caused any permanent damage. My eyes tested fine and the neuropathy I had in my left hand is lessening. My stones have been removed and my root canals are done.
I'm basically eating the way I ate before I got Kidney stones in Nov 2022, but I've added more healthy fat and less carb content. I eat mostly Whole-Food Plant-Based SOS (minimal Salt, Oil, Sugar) and minimal grains. I also do intermittent eating with 2 meals a day.
I have not lost any weight, but I've reduced inflammation and last week got my kidney stones removed, so it's not lower due to that. Having a glucose meter tied to my Fit Bit made a big difference in managing my diet. I didn't take Metformin for the 1st 2 months, but started taking it due to spikes after taking antibiotics. I will be weaning off Metformin and hope to start losing weight as I am obese.
Some studies have shown meat eaters who consume fruit and veg, but specifically lowered their red meat, have less incidences of diabetes. I have seen studies which have shown vegetarians to suffer more cases of cancer, allergies, mental disorders and a host of diseases more than meat eaters. My point? There are many factors involved, not just diet! Environment, quality of any food, sleep, exercise, stress management and exposure/elimination of toxins.
+Michael Campion Yes, therefore you should do nothing, since you cannot control all factors. Right?
Also I'd like to read those studies you mention, otherwise it's not a point, but an opinion.
www.dropbox.com/s/ivveyh4uw23j4xc/journal.pone.0088278.PDF?dl=0
If you would have read the study, you would see that it does provide the alternative explanation that vegetarians in Austria often switched to the diet because they were sick. It warrants a longitudinal, not cross-sectional study.
citing a study with a 13 subject sample size?
+Zack F Who all had fantastic results. All. 100% efficacy. And major improvement. By the way, these people, never improve. And, while decreasing medication (or eliminating it). Come on. This is highly significant. Agree, it should be followed up. But you're just looking for an excuse if you say 13 and use that as an excuse for ignoring this finding.
Mymy 7 months to get rid of diabetis, well it probably took about 7 years to develope it, so I guess that's only fair.
Eat less, move more! 🤔
Great news that it can be reversed. Though Dr G will never admit it he just described the Ketogenic diet! Lower starchy carbs, optional 10% cals from animal products (repeat optional, it can all be done with plants) and the rest of the calories from a WFPB diet plus good fats. Outstanding!
first bitchezzz
