- Dr. Jason Fung proves that reversing type 2 diabetes is possible. But even better, reversing diabetes does not require expensive drugs or surgery. In fact, type 2 diabetes, being largely a dietary disease, can be reversed by changing the diet. That puts it within reach of everybody. Check out my blog at / drjasonfung

yeah but you dont explain here that many people have poor bile production, poor galblader health, poor kidneys, pancreas etc. its not easy to do a high protein and high fat diet when your system is messed up.
thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge Doctor
I have been intermittent Fasting since Jan 25th but on insulin pump I am eating so much better and less
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
Yes, she could have type 1 a d there are also juvenile types that are not typical. You need to run tests asap.
I commented before....Im 51 and had type 2 for 10 years...and yo yo’d the whole time. Diets work but cant stick to them. Exercise just want enough. I went full Keto and lost the weight and then started strength training primarily.....but still couldnt get the sugar to go away completely....went off keto and strugled....but I started Intermittent fasting and it stuck...and i completely stopped all alcohol use...WHAMMO....diabetes was gone. Been off all meds for over a year now....no statins...no BP...no metformin. Calorie restriction...yoga...weight lifting...and some cardio....no booze at all....avoid sugar and most processed foods. IT CAN BE DONE.
Qq
How did you come off metformin?
My doctor said it can't be done
How long did it take?
@@megabaneen8057 once the weight was off and stayed off my A1C was under 5 so my Dr let me reduce my metformin and within a year i was off of it. I can still have a spike on occasion and i still check my sugar, but for over 2 years now i have been off it.
@@bradbo3thanks for getting back to me... is your pancreas ok?
Not being on any meds - When your Blood Sugar spikes how long does it take to come down.
@@megabaneen8057 only spikes if i eat ice cream or candy or soda ….and only 140-150. Comes down within the hour.
On March 9 2021 my A1C was 11.6% and my weight 215 lbs. Through the advice of Dr. Fung and others, I went full keto, IF, and more exercise, and now in June 2021 my A1C is 6% and my weight 167 lbs. and falling. Thank you Dr. Fung for helping to change my life!
Lifetime work. I'm glad you doing better.
Congratulations!!
48lbs lost in 3 months? A1C down 5%? That is phenomenal!!
Awesome, gives me hope
Congratulations 👏👏👏 Awesome 👍
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes . My sugar level used to be between 400-500s. My vision was super blurry. I started keto and my sugar levels dropped to 110 . My ac1 levels went from 7.9 to 5.5 and so far I’ve lost 46lbs. My sciatica went away , I stopped snoring and my acid reflux that I have had for years is gone !!!! Thanks to your advice and Dr. Berry’s
Did you do the intermittent fasting to lose the weight?
Congratulations!
Dr Fung=HERO.
Let's give this man all the help we can, spread the message, and pray for him.
All of us following his advice come from different situations, obesity, diabetes, cancer, depression, etc, and were once in need of proper guidance.
My life, not just my physical health, has taken an INMENSE change, and Dr Jason Fung has been a big part of my journey since 2018, when I most needed TRUTH of what to do to recover from a downward spiral.
Think of the millions who are going to die because they're told there's no way to regain their health.
This man gives hope, and what he teaches WORKS.
Let's make it a priority to help him out.
REAL TALK! Because of Doc, I've lost 100 lbs since the beginning of the year. I'm always asked what did I do, or what am I doing... when I tell 'em they'd say I tried that and it's so difficult! Intermittent fasting is difficult, however, you'll need to be dedicated.
great job on your weight loss! thanks for sharing.
It's more difficult being overweight imo 👍
Intermittent fasting 16:8 has been the easiest way to lose weight and get healthier. It works. It really has made me see what a good diet for me looks like.
The inaccurate information that medical schools are teaching needs to be addressed in addition to the data discussed at physician conferences! Thank you Dr Fung for educating the public and correcting what uneducated physicians are promoting to their patients.
and some peoples PCP are not in touch with Dr. Fung's beliefs.
Hello Mary how are you doing? I hope all is well and that you are staying safe enough! You have got a nice and sparkling smile, haven’t seen such in a while always wear that beautiful smile. I would really love to get to know you! Hope you do not mind?

I started following your low carb, high fat diet when l first caught you on utube. You convinced me and l never looked back. I now have blood sugars in the 80s and 90s, sometimes 120 or so. I illuminated my insulin and met forming and high blood pressure medication, high cholestral meds, blood pressure medication. The only pill l take is vitamins D. I thank you every time l take my readings. You and doctors like you are wonderful. I couldn't thank you enough. My favorite doctor.
Cod liver oil is good for vit D
And vit A
congrats
Wow, my Vitamin D level was 9 out of a range between 30-100. They've shown some correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and type 2 diabetes, I've been reading.
Its incredible how easy it is with discipline. All t2 diabetics must know about this!!
I have impatiently waited to write this. Here are the stats. 60yr old male, Likely insulin resistant for years. On May 12 2021 my hemoglobin A1c came back 10.3 up from 7 in January of the same year. My weight was 217 (BMI 30.5). I lowered my weigh to 210 by May but stalled. My Dr. sent me home with an Rx for metformin and directions to, you guessed it, loose weight and exercise more. At least he told me that I was insulin resistant. My research led me to Dr. Fung and the UA-cam series. I followed Dr. Fung's recommendations and ignored all the other self proclaimed experts out there in UA-cam land and stayed focused on the goal of reversing my insulin resistance. Yesterday I had my 3 month follow up. Weight 177, BMI 24.5, and A1c 6. I was taken off my medication.
I do daily intermittent fasting and bounce between 16/8 20/4 and OMAD. So enthused is my doctor he encouraged me keep at it and try and get off the Statin and blood pressure meds as well. I bought the book, I have the CODE, and the CODE gives me power to win.
Thank you Dr. Fung. My life has been changed.
🍀🎉
I reversed my type 2 diabetes in one year back in 2018 and lost over 100lbs pounds and have never looked back.
Are u able to eat potatoes again?
@@Dharmicaction I don't eat them that often but I do sometimes
Type2 diabetes can’t be reversible, but it can be controlled by diet and fasting 🤔
@@m.newyork4670 True I should have been more clear. If I let myself go, it will all come back
On the same day I have diagnosed with T2D I came across with one of Dr Fung video and that was God leading me to my healing process and Ya, now it's been one year and six month I lost over 20kg and my A1C 5.4
Thank you Dr
This makes me hopeful and Happy
Dr. Jason Fong, happy Father’s Day, God Blessing in this Day, for you and your,
Jesus love you.
I have brought my A1C down from 6.2 to 5.2. No meds. Fasting and no carbs only
Wow
Please what is your fasting windows.
Should I stop medication from day one when on this diet
My doctor sent me to a “dietician “. There was a big poster behind her head that recommended 30-60 carbs PER MEAL! For women and even more for men. When I brought up keto and intermittent fasting she said it just wasn’t sustainable. Well…so much for that! Thank you Dr Fung!
Dr. Fung is the best.
I lost 15lbs since listening to Jason fung.....OMAD is perfect for me, my energy level and mental sharpness is 🤯
Thank you Dr Jason Fung 🙏
@@ripwins yep, I've lost 35lb on OMAD I now weigh 100lb and no more Rheumatoid arthritis 😁
🤠Yes!Dr Fung has taken up the torch of Dr Atkins and taken it to whole new level with the help of UA-cam.
The best second to Dr Berg!
I learnt that humanity still has Custodians, in Drs.Jason Fung, Eric Berg DC, Sten Ekberg & KenDBerryMD, Respectively, I’m so Very Grateful 😊, that I endure dás advertising 🙏🏻😸 🐝 Well 🖖🏼
Custodians are growing, the word is spreading: Dr Robert Cywes, Dr David Unwin, Dr Paul Mason, Nina Teicholtz, Professor Tim Noakes, Dr Aseem Malhotra etc
@@akhusal , thanks for sharing these names. I want to check them out!
Yes!! They are true Giants! Let's not forget Dr. Eric Westman whose mentor was Dr. Atkins himself! He has been implementing the low carb/keto diet in his patients for over 20 years. All these people are true heroes.
To add to your list Dr Neal Barnard as well and follow dietician Charmaine Domingez hope i spelt it correct
@@akhusal Very true, thanks for additional info.
Thank you for all of your teachings, Dr. Fung. I have a dear friend who has type 2 diabetes and three months ago his A1C was 8.5. I convinced him to give intermittent fasting a try along with a low carb diet, and when he was checked last week his A1C was down to 5.8. He is on the road to wellness, and it wouldn't be possible had it not been for your education.

I have experienced alot of death in my life. Mom/dad/aunts/uncles/grandparents all dying at early ages. May 8th my max weight was 360lbs. I was following the SAD and never lost weight. I came across Dr. Fung's videos and this changed everything for me. I got a severe sinus infection producing heavy mucus when i coughed and sneezed. My blood pressure also spiked. Doctors meds didnt help at all. I also got hoarsed lost my voice. Around May 24 i started a 10 straight day water fast. On day 4 my blood pressure dropped to 107/67. Day 5 mucus production was cut in half and my voice was recovering. I lost 20lbs in those 10 days. I then went on a whole food plant based diet when i started back eating and so far have lost a total of 42lbs. I would also go 15 hours without eating 3-4 days a week. Thank you Dr. Fung. My goal weight is to weigh 250lbs or less by the new year.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes 6 months ago just by doing intermittent fasting. My a1c was 10.8, now it's 5.5. My pancreas test showed my insulin production is normal (not too high not too low).
Nice! Low carbs IF?
Please help me to know if I should stop taking the medication from day one of this diet
@@RajeevKumar-xe3mn yes...stop taking any drugs immediately...
Drugs will mask the problem (the body needs to respond to the IF not the Metformin or whatever drug to get maximum effect).
It's not dangerous to stop the diabetes drugs for a week while u try something new.
Focus on intermittent dieting
The FREQUENCY OF FOOD eaten (not the AMOUNT OF FOOD EATEN OR TYPE OF FOOD ) is the key to reducing diabetes.
Within 3days your diabetes with start to reset to zero just eating once or twice a day (stop eating 3timrs a day, stop snacking in between meals)...
You need at least 16hrs to allow your body to start to starve itself to reset the pancreas...hence frequency is most important to reversing diabetes.
Job done !
@ali, so, you now back to normal life eating whatever you like without carbs calculation? How does it's taking to get the Normal glucose level now after having a meal (carb n carb less) meal? Please share your experiences n thoughts.
What about the symptoms and damages done by t2d (if you had any)? Have they been reversed for you?
I went from 5.9 to 5.4 in less then 90 days by changing my diet. Took most, but not all, sugars away and added more veggies to my diet. Changing your diet and adding intermittent fasting to your lifestyle is a game changer... ♡
Thank you I started OMAD fasting in February this year I have now reversed my T2D A1c 33% I have also stopped taking blood pressure tablets as my blood pressure is normal now. i have lost just under 50 lbs and feel great. All thanks to you Dr Jason Fung
Dear Dr Fung.
I live in the UK and my dad was diagnosed with diabetes many years ago. His medication has been steadily increased by his doctors and the advice was that he should eat regularly to keep his blood sugar stable.
Anyway..I found your channel..he tried fasting..his diabetes is almost completely reversed.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
From me and my dad.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in December 24th 2020. And on medication and insulin. Now after 6 months, I'm off insulin. 😁 I lost 20kg of my weight. But I still need to reduce it to get to my ideal weight though. Currently, I'm on keto and 23 hours intermittent fasting. I also do longer intermittent fasting when I don't feel like eating. Plus doing some 1 hour of light exercises, 5 times a week. 🙂
For beautiful people out there, you can do it! Don't give up!
Stay happy and healthy always. 😉
Dr. Fung is an eye opener for the society. I have reversed T2D with fasting and exercise. He is true leader for the humanity. God bless you dr. Fung.
Sir can i talk with u
Im from Bangladesh, i want talk with you for advice to reverse diabetes, plzz reply
I had been pre-diabetic in 2019, reversed that with fasting and lower carb diet, cutting out added sugars. The pandemic hit and I gradually slid out of fasting. My husband died in January 2021 and I went off the deep end eating sugary junk and "comfort food". I was just diagnosed right after I decided to turn it back around at the end of June. I'm doing 18/ and 20/4 so far about every day. I've given up all the terrible things I was eating. My A1C was 6.3 so no meds and I'm busy turning this thing around. I'm back to doing yoga for 15 minutes daily and meditating. I've lost about 20 lbs already and feeling really great! This works. It absolutely WORKS. THANK YOU, Dr. Fung~!!!
My mother is 83 with type 2 diabetes, she has seen me loose weight with a keto eating plan and as I live with her and care for her, I have discussed the issues with her sugar intake. Its been a slog, however I have encouraged her to reduce the amount of lollies she eats.. (bit of a sweet tooth) and give her healthy snacks. She has noticed the difference as she has neuropathy with her feet, they burned constantly and were swollen.. these days they are much much better and she knows not to sneak lollies in as she really notices the difference now. She now looks at the the sugar intake in things and checks with me first..Finally!!!
Get a red light/near infrared bulb for her feet and heart health
I had gastric bypass surgery 11 years ago but my diabetes continued. I struggled with my hbA1c for years until I was given a continuous glucose monitor. This has changed my life! In three months time my hbA1c dropped from 8.2 to 6.4. I was able to see what foods triggered blood sugar spikes and have changed my diet to extreme low carb.
Your book the obesity code changed my life. I was Pre-diabetic with a A1C of 6.0 in 2020. As of yesterday 2021 my A1C is 5.4. Thank you, for your wealth of knowledge!!
I’m a skinny person why my A1C is 6.0? My blood glucose is 101. I’m confused, could you help?
@@yanisusu3906 you most likely have type 1 diabetes. Intermittent fasting won't help as far as I know
IF is a wonder drug I would say..,
My mother had type 2 DM with 245 mg/dL fasting blood sugar....and now after 6 months with 16:8 fasting and exercise her FBS is now 98 mg/dL
I would recommend IF to every one with Type 2 DM
Wish all doctors were like Dr Fung,
I was around 130 kg with Type II diabetes, on Metformin tablets four times a day and suffering from blindness. I decided to do something about it in November of 2019 and in two months I lost about 12 kg just by exercising and eating tuna sweetcorn laced with vegan mayonnaise. There were times I had wholemeal tuna sandwiches and drank nothing but water.
I couldn’t go to the gym anymore as my gym partner split but I decided to set up a home gym and went and lost another 18 kg in a few months in the process.
My routine was made up of core exercises, strength training and cardio exercises. Would spend about two hours working out before midday breakfast.
Now having lost around 30 kg, I noticed that I cannot fast intermittently for 16 hours as my blood sugar would drop dangerously low and my head would start to spin slightly.
I noticed now that having sugar is actually beneficial as it brings up my glucose levels to normalise for me. I truly believe that with the right exercises and diet, along with periods of intermittent fasting, as Dr Fung has already said, you can actually reverse this disease. Never give up. Keep going till the end. Sending out my love and respect from the UK.
I started this diet on march 20, 2021 and by august 2021 my a1c drop from 11.5 to 4.5
And weight from 165 lb to 115 lbs
Cutting in carbs and intermittent helped me.
I never used any medication
I just read a comment the other day that insulin resistance was irreversible, written by someone who had never even tried fasting. As many times as I've tried to explain it or recommend people in that community to watch your videos, most people there just refuse to look into a different point of view. We're at this point in society where so many people think humans know everything, but the reality is that we as a species are so ignorant because knowledge and critical thinking are suppressed. If their current method for weight loss isn't working, why not research another way, see if it makes sense, and give it a try? That's my mindset. I'm glad I've experienced life-changing benefits from exploring the hormonal side of things with your guidance and others!
You can't save everyone or even most of them, sadly it's survival of the fittest and most people have endless excuses or blindly follow authority. The only thing we can do is put the reality out there and hope the people who are willing to try will get the chance to see the truth.
I still stay using the word "reversed" is wrong. Controlled is more appropriate. As a type 2 diabetic that was on the verge of having to go on insulin (6.9 a1c) on 2 diabetic medications, I was able to not only lose 80+ lbs via keto and fasting, My a1c got down to 4.9 and completely off all meds. Reversed implies "fixed or back to normal". As long as I eat keto and continue fasting my diabetes is technically gone if your going by the numbers but its still there. You can't go back to eating those carbs or it will return. I been fasting and keto for a couple years now thanks to finding Dr Fungs videos and I love him for putting them out there and frankly, probably saving my life.
I decided to take a few months off fasting and go back to a less keto diet. Still keto most of the week but 2-3 days a week eating what ever I want (yet still avoiding most White foods). My diabetes returned, My a1c went back up to 6.4. After spending 2 years at 4.9-5.2 A1C, blood sugars always below 100, I went to 6.4 with blood sugars sitting at 160. I am now back on the fasting and keto track but that shows mine was not reversed just well controlled.
@@xDoomsdayx You are objectively wrong. T2 diabetes and being fat are nothing to do with each other. It is only the liver fat that matters for t2 diabetes and that accumulates only slowly over many years of bad eating. If you get rid of the liver fat then t2 diabetes will reverse AND you will not have it happen again until you stuff the liver full of fat over time.
@@LTPottenger I didn't say anything about Type 2 and weight having anything to do with each other. I simply stated I had type 2 and I lost 80lbs during my keto and fasting days. I have thousands of hours fasting. For the first 6 months of fasting I was doing 3 42 hour fasts a week with occasional 72 hour fasts thrown in. According to my dr which btw balked at the idea of me fasting, he ended up being very impressed and has come around to the idea, He says my liver is in great condition. You may heal your fatty liver but the damage can already be done that not reverseable. Thus "reversed" I feel is the wrong word. Sure it may be reversed in some folks but in general I don't feel that's going to be most. Diabetes is still damaging your body so you don't know how much damage it has done by the time you find someone like Dr Fung that can point you in the right direction. I just have a problem with the word reversed being used. Again, technically if you go by the numbers it is reversed but only if you stay on that lifestyle path and don't go back to eating a lot of carbs. At least in my case anyways.
@@xDoomsdayx Thanks for your sharing. My understanding from the above debate is that if someone is still in early stage of Type 2 Diabetes before too much damage is done, that can be reversed by Fasting. But if someone stays Type 2 for too long and some non-trivial damage has been done, he/she would have to stay Fasting forever to stop the symptoms of Type 2. In that regard it's not entirely reversible.
Thank you Dr. Fung....your videos gave me the confidence to take control of my Type 2 ...just thought I should share this and I would've been in a worst situation if it wasn't for your videos. Was diagnosed with type 2 at the end of Feb with BS level at 36. Was put in metformin 500g twice a day. I only took my med for 2 weeks because I wasn't feeling great with its side affects. Changed my diet instead - no sugar, very low carb, no processed food, good fat only, 50% of protein, loads and loads of veggies and leafy greens of all variety, 4-5 L of water and exercise dialy and intermittent fasting 16/8....avg BS fasting was high 5 to low 6, avg post meal was mid to high 7. Went in for a blood test prior to my first virtual call with an endocrinologist 2 months ago....she said all is fine and asked me about my weight. I explained that I had loss about 30 pounds just before I was diagnosed with type 2. She then explained that I will need to gained some weight back and prescribed a higher dosage of Metformin plus another drug
Sitagliptin so I can eat as much as I want without having to worry about my blood sugar...... needless to say, I didn't take these pills and my BS is getting better each week....... In fairness, she doesn't know my history, I realized afterward that I weight the same as I was in my 20s...and I'm eating healthy except no grains, sugar or starchy food..... Just thought it was crazy... A 3 minute phone call would end up with a stronger dosage of Metformin plus another drug just so that I can eat more food.
What about the symptoms and damages done by t2d (if you had any)? Have they been reversed for you?
THIS WORKS!!!!!
I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 three months ago. I was prescribed metaformin, which i took only once until i found DR Fungs videos. I began eating Keto and did the fasting alongside excercise.
The fasting WORKS!
Lots of people tried to tell me that it wouldnt work and that i should just listen to my doctor and take their pharmaceutical crap. Im so glad i didnt!!!
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH DR FUNG!!! You are the real MVP!!!
Dr Fung J is an excellent nephrologist. His talk on diabetic is a helpfull guide and advice for so many patient who thought that Dm type 2 is a chronic disease. Now that i understand about the disease as a dietition desease. Thank you Dr Fung for giving a new breathe to so many life. God bless you.
I've been following Dr Fung for weight loss. I'm down 90lbs so far since November. I feel so well! I'm off my blood pressure meds and my osteoarthritis pain is so much better that I'm able to be active again.
I'd love to be a weight loss coach. Surprisingly, when I've told people what I'm doing, I get eye rolls and ppl tell me they could never do it. They really don't believe me when I tell them I don't get hungry. They tell me I've got great will power....🙄.
I've dieted on and off my whole life and it's never been so easy for me. Understanding how it all works and why (The Obesity Code), just makes so much sense!
Thank you for all you do!
That's excellent. Congratulations on your weight loss achievement and the fact that you're feeling better. Currently, I'm 298 pounds at 5'10" and have started back up on fasting. I'm also currently almost 48 hours into a 72 hour fast. A couple of years back is when I first tried fasting and I managed to lose up to 30 pounds in 1 month. But, unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and gained it all back. However, I'm ready to start again. I have every intention of joining you in looking and feeling better. 💪😎
@@leniobarcelos1770Thank you. You can do this! It sounds like you are off to a great start and kudos for giving it another try. Good luck to you!
@@JohnsonNestorFamily Thank you.
I was able to lower my A1C from 7.0 to 5.7 in 90 days solely based on watching youtube ie. Dr. Jason Fung, reading the diabetes code and obesity code and ignoring the canadian guidelines of dietary requirements for diabetes. I’ve also lost about 15lbs by intermittent fasting, eating low carb and exercising for 30 mins everyday. I’ve included cheese, dairy, red meat, white meat, tofu, butter, oils, vegetables, and all my cholestrol levels have lowered down to normal levels. I still check my blood glucose at every meal but there is already a big change as my blood sugars are not spiking randonly anymore. Thank you Dr. Jason Fung!
Are you taking any medicine or insulin for T2D
@@suguravi72 No meds, I told my doc I wanted to try doing this on my own.

Dr. Jason , I like to be a living witness that
Intermittent fasting really works . But you to avoid temptations for sugary snacks , that's the key .
Dr. Jason GOD bless you and let you live much much longer for the sake of people like me .❤❤
Thank you Dr Fung! I reversed Type 2 diabetes & stopped all medication (was on medication for 9 months) after reading your books The Obesity Code & The Diabetes Code.
May I ask did you do fasting while on the T2D medication? If so, how did you do it since some of the medicine indicate to be taken after food.
@@SimpleFlight I did fast 16/8 and occasionally 24 hours (eat once a day). My medication was only taken once a day, so that did not interfere with my fasting.
@@SimpleFlight For me, one of the best things about ditching my medication is that my blood sugar never bottoms out, because the control system in my body is working. When I was on insulin and meds, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat as my blood sugar tanked. How long did it take? I immediately cut my insulin in half. My blood sugar showed slightly better control. After 4 days, I stopped meds and all insulin. Within a week, I had better blood sugar numbers than on insulin. After 4 weeks, I was seeing glucose numbers that were much better than I had seen in 20 years. I'm not perfect, last night I had a couple of beers and a small sliver of cake last night. My glucose spiked at about 155. With my old diet and insulin, I was routinely seeing spikes above 300.
Can u eat carb and still maintain normal sugar. Have u tried it anytime with high carb meal after reversing diabetes
@@nitishvidyadharan8240 Initially, you need to be on low carb. After it’s reversed, I maintained that for some time. Nowadays I do eat a high carb meal once in awhile and my blood sugar is around 5.5 most of the time. If you keep taking high carb meals all the time, your blood sugar might go up a lot. It’s not all about carbs though. I once ate a small square out of a bar of hazelnut chocolate once a day for 14 days. Total was 2 large bars of chocolates. My 3-month average blood sugar went up by 0.3. The same happened when I had 1 kg of lychees and 1 kg of Longans (sweet fruits) over 2 weeks (like 3 or 4 times per week). My doc says I’m super sensitive to fructose. So it really depends on your body. Best is to listen to your own body.
Is type 2 diabetes reversible? Since I did that exact thing with a low carb high fat diet combined with intermittent fasting and walking, I would most definitely have to say yes, yes it is.
So can you eat a piece of chocolate cake without caring about your blood sugar levels (because your body functions like a normal person)? I highly doubt it but please prove me wrong. I guarantee you are still diabetic and you only manage it through fasting/low carb. And that's not what 'reversed' means.
There's a study state that saturated fat cause insulin resistance or insulin imbalance. Look it up
@@benjaminhill01 why would you want to go back to eating junk? What we now consider regular person diet is mostly junk food not designed for the nourishment of the body.
@@mello3087
I don't need to look it up because I am living proof that the study your talking about is wrong. I was insulin resistant and type 2 diabetic when I started eating a low carb high fat diet. Now I am no longer insulin resistant and have a normal A1C. Best thing yet my doctor has my whole journey documented. I also lost 46 pounds and got rid of my belly fat. I'm healthier now on a low carb high fat diet in my 60's than I was when I was in my 30's. Now, how does your so called study explain that?
@@benjaminhill01
Doesn't really matter how I manage it so long as I manage it, now doesn't it?
30 years ago we didn’t know that you could reverse type two diabetes. The pharmaceutical companies certainly weren’t going to tell us and the government wasn’t going to tell us, so we didn’t know and the doctors didn’t know
Thank you Dr.Fung I have loosely followed my grams of carbs and kept below 200 and A1c was 7.8 for 2 years.I started intermittent fasting in January and my A1c in April is at 5.0 and down 25 pounds.I am currently at 260 pounds and will decrease carbs further for better results.

Thank you Dr Fung for everything you’ve done for the fasting community. Your books saved the lives of many diabetic and obese patients all over the world. God bless you and your family. I am forever grateful for your life changing teachings.
I agree 100%
❤❤❤❤
I have a 6 hour eating window, usually 8-2 at night, the rest of the time I drink water or coffee, I've been doing that for along time, I don't even get hungry outside of my window, I have my body trained, just like it used to be trained to eat non stop carbs
Thank you Dr Fung,
Today got my results of HBa1c.
My HBa1c got down from 6.8 to 5.3.
Dr Fung. Your inspirational videos helped me a lot.
I am so happy & thankful to you, sitting in Pakistan getting help from your videos.
Unfortunately, this option will continue to be dismissed. Dialysis Centers are opening on every corner readying to capitalize.
Not if we spread the word and be an example ourselves. And people of all ages are on UA-cam now so... one way or another... they'll discover it.
After 5 years of trials and errors with the help of your videos, my diabetes not only disappeared but my HOMA-IR result became 1.1. Now I am eating a low-carb diet, not really a "very low-"carb diet.
I drastically reduced my carbs
I started eating six meals per week
Losing weight
A1C and cholesterol and all other numbers are now in the acceptable range
My Dr is amazed
Next step is cutting my own hair
Oh snap, hair cutting is tough... Good build-up to the real challenge.
Lol! Well done. Reducing carbs is the hardest thing I'm finding. Potatoes, chapatis, and rice are part of my atomic makeup 😂 Great job.
Been cutting my own hair for at least 25 years now. Unbelievably good at it - even the back done by feel and then checked with mirrors. Maybe because I'm an artist and craftsman, but it just isn't difficult at all. Carbs? I have drastically reduced, but without extended fasts and near zero carb diet I just stall out. Meat, fish, avocado, greens is about it and still needing to restrict. Doable but annoyingly strict.
Thank you Dr. Fung, have learned so much and hearing your channel keeps me on my fasting path.
Thank you Fung! But only if they're willing my Uncle is 77 and stubborn lol. He wants to take the drugs and eat his chocolate bars 😂. It makes me sad but the more I show my concern, the more stubborn & difficult he becomes. I wish I could pay you to call him up to convince him but you and both know it's his decision and the sweets and carbs are too tasty for him. I wish I could change his mind but I won't give up, I just have to be sparse in my asking him to try changing his diet, persistence is key I believe.
I started to develop pre-diabetes and followed this man's advice.
Now that I lost weight, I no longer have any symptoms.
Do keto, don't eat large before going to bed, don't drink sugary sodas, and eat a small lunch.
Don't attempt to lose weight through exercise.
Thanks for Sharing
i like you for the exercise part :)
that is exactly where I'm at.... however, just beginning my journey.
congrats!!
Please can you share what kind of symptoms you had?
:) Of course, diabetes 2 is reversible, Dr. Fung. You helped me to reverse mine in 4 months with intermittent fasting and an LCHF diet :) I was diagnosed on my 51st birthday back in Feb of 2017. Since then my HbA1c has been safely in the normal range.
What about the symptoms and damages done by t2d (if you had any)? Have they been reversed for you?
@@cclearyt All reversed 👍😄 I remember my eyesight getting all blurry. I thought it was my glasses that needed changing. After the 4 months of intermittent fasting and LCHF diet, it all cleared up 😊
It is i did for my mummy , she is not on insulin and tablets anymore 🙏🙏🙏
I started OMAD last Thursday and have already gone from 60 units of insulin to 20. So looking forward to being rid of type 2D and high blood pressure.
I just want to let you know that I was at my gp’s last Thursday and my blood work had come back for my diabetes and it was terrible. My a1c was over 10 and my fasting sugars were 20. He had taking me off my metformin about a month ago I thought it was because it was causing kidney issues but I could be incorrect about that. So he decided to put me on insulin at night before bed. I was doing low carb but still my blood sugars weren’t coming down. I decided to start fasting and eating only one meal a day. Anyhow in just days my blood sugars are between 4.1 and 9.8 and I’ve lost 7 pounds. I can hardly believe it. Thank-you Dr. Fung. I’ve been a type 2 diabetic for 40 years.
This guy is a life saver! I share these videos with anyone who can be helped with the knowledge. This might be my goto video to share now. Thank you so much!!
On Healthy Keto and fasting for over 6 months and I've lost 40 lbs and my resting heartbeat is down to 72 and getting better. Thanks to you and some other Doctors on youtube I now understand T2D and the real way to better health over all. I used to think UA-cam was a waste - it may be in most cases but you are truly a wealth of knowledge. Thank you!
You're the greatest Doc. Fung. Thank you so much😘❤️
Jason
Great videos.
Your videos appear to me, about 6 months ago, i already eat only foods with a glycemic index less than 25, do my 3 meals and start fasting about each one 5 or 6 hours not taking anything to drink or eat, until next meal.
My breakfast at 7am fast until 1 pm, and then again fast until 6 or 7 pm. doing this, and being discipline about, the results start showing.
But is key, to have discipline, the body responds, inmediatily.
Thanks for your videos, they help me, to see results.
Grettings from mexico.
Thanks Dr Fung! You deserve a 10 million subscribers! Still, millions of diabetics did not understand and internalized your campaign on IF with LCF is the only way to reverse T2 diabetes disease!
Thank you Doc Jason Fung, Godbless❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dr. Fung u r awesome!
Thanks doc. Fung for sharing good information..watching from South Korea 🇰🇷
Thank you.... learning about diabetes.... my mother had it & passed recently
thats so sad. i couldve saved my aunt if id known sooner too
So sorry for your loss
Hugs.
Thank you :) @@joshuarosenblatt
Amen
I feel pre diabetes type 2 symptoms during lockdown. I accidentally watched his video on UA-cam, I gradually try a long hours fasting, I immediately see the result: lost weight and pee less during night.
Keep going :) I reversed mine and lost 20 kg in 4 months because of Dr. Fung's information :)
You're the best Dr. Jason Fung. Thank you so much for the very helpful informations regarding type 2 diabetes.
Thank you, Dr. Fung. The information you and Dr. Berry have made available has allowed me to have a much healthier last few years. I wish I could more properly thank you, but this is at least something.
Thank you Dr. Fung..
A lot of lessons we can have from your video.
Really reassuring...Please find time to upload more of these motivational videos on a daily basis.Thanks a lot.
It is indeed a dietary disease... Thank u doc... I just stopped eating carbs and lo .. I'm now a non diabetic.. ❤️🎉
That is a blessing lets keep it going my brother 🙏
Thank you for helping so many people!! I love your you tube show!!
Thanks for all that you do Dr Jason Fung!
Real doctor who's saving life
Thanks ton .Much love n respect
God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻♥
I’m surprised big pharma haven’t shut down dr fung
Plenty just eat what they want and take the meds unfortunately
Thank you so much Dr. Fung.
This video came at the right time in my life. I actually have started a liquid diet about 3 weeks now and have lost 20+ lbs. I have begun incorporating body weight workouts which slowly but surely is building muscle.
All that said, I have seen quite an improvement on my blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels as well. Although not perfect yet but the journey is only beginning. I hope to be successful in this journey and one day be able to help others and motivate them to take control of their life.
Thank you for all of your great and informative videos.

Excellent information, thanks Dr Fung x
Thank you for giving us the information that we need to get healthy!
Hello Cora how are you doing? I hope all is well and that you are staying safe enough! You have got a nice and sparkling smile, haven’t seen such in a while always wear that beautiful smile. I would really love to get to know you! Hope you do not mind?
In my case, I lost 60kg of ft before I discovered that I was diabetic with an A1C of 13.9. So I was obviously diabetic the whole 8 months that's that I was losing huge amounts of weight.
Your videos have been a huge help in getting it under control by the way. I do 15 and 16 hour fasts 4 times a week and I think that 15 hours will become my regular habit.
I do eat carbs, but limit to a net of 120 a day and only eat complex carbs, such as lentils, brown rice (50 grams at a time) a red kidney beans etc...
Thank you Doctor, you are amazing! What a Godsend.🥰
Eating too much food can causes a lot of health problem
Your so right.Cause eating all the time just keeps insulin up high and does damage to the body.
John Clary is an amazing inspiration!!! He has helped me along with Dr. Nadia, Larry, Lisa, the community coaches and most importantly Dr. Fung and Megan Ramos with the support of The Fasting Method. If you want to change your life read and join TFM!!
Everyday someone stops me and asks me what am I doing that I have shrunk from a size 18 to a 2!
I simply tell them I’ve changed my entire life around with the constant support of The Fasting Method!!! I cannot thank everyone each and every day for the health I’ve gained back. John reversed his diabetes and now helps others to do the same.
I thank you each and every day Dr. Fung!!
Thank you Dr Jason Fung
Congratulations Coach John! Thank you Dr. Fung! I am so thankful for these videos
I am Deepti from india , i am absolutely a huge fan of your work Dr Fung .. and greatful to you as by watching your interview, i came to know a lot about diabetes.
I am 62 years old and my count is 7.3 .. i really want to reverse it. My dr tells me he is more worried about my muscles strength , which is 21.
I am on medication. What i should do to be free. I have lately watched that after dinner my level goes Little more i.e 200 - 250. After lunch and breakfast it is between 180 to 190.
Please tell me how bad is my condition and what should I do.
Your advice matters a LOT TO ME🙏
Awesome video I learn a lot now everything makes sense.tthank you Doc....☀
I enjoyed your lecture and you are doing great lectures to the people
Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤
SINCE DEC 10, I've gone from 9.5 a1c to 5.5 a1c and from 336lbs to 278lbs. My fasting BS is still 105-120 up waking--they say that's the last number to go down. My day and evening numbers are usually 88-110, with 95-105 being about average. I only reduce carbs (and avoid all simple carbs)--no fasting yet. But I DO need to stop snacking (especially at night). That should help everything. I've lost 58lbs, but have about 80-90lbs more to go.
You recognize that snacking, especially at night, is a problem. I hope you have been able to stop snacking and eat 0-3 meals a day to control your insulin.
Have you started any fasting yet?
@@AzaleaBee : I have only fasted two times for 24 hours, but I had bad vertigo for a month (vestibular neuritis) and that made life hard--my sleep schedule was disrupted. BUT I didn't gain any weight, so that's good. I've cut out the bad snacks (too many nuts and crunchy peanut butter with rapeseed oil/vegetable oil), and now I just have one protein drink a day as a snack. I was drinking 4 and that was too much protein; though my sugar didn't go up, my weight wasn't going down. NOW I'm finally back to 2 meals a day, 1 protein shake (chocolate core power 26g), and the sleep schedule is slowly improving. I'm sure I'll start losing again. My numbers have been 85-115, but I'm sure that will go down with better habits and more lost weight. Now that it's finally getting cooler, I'll start walking at night.
@@joeflowers9084 A fasting blood glucose 85-115 is good especially considering where you were. Glad to see you are on your way.
Remember that fasting does not have to be more than 24 hours. Regular 14-16 hour daily fasts with no more than 3 meals per day (a snack = a meal) is generally healthy and doable for most people. Even if I only have heavy cream in my coffee, I count it as a meal. At least for now I need to be that strict with myself.
Sleep is important. I am so glad it is improving for you!
Reducing carb alone wont work. You have to do intermittent fasting swinging between 16/8 and 20/4, eating 2 big meals with less carb and more fat and protein. Make sure there is not snaking between the meals.
You are Great
Amazing doctor FUNG
This doctor is a saviour.
Love your videos!!! I learned so much. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
This is an awesome story! Thank you Dr. Fung for sharing the truth with us!
