I was kinda sad to learn that diabetes is only "cured" if you stay low carb for the rest of your life. As soon as you have a high carb, like say if your Dr's gives you a glucose tolerance test, your blood sugar shoots right back up to diabetic levels and doesn't clear away quickly like a non-diabetic persons one would.
Silve Beaton yes! Has he read Dr. Bernstein’s book, The Diabetes Solution? He is a type 1 diabetic and has written the quintessential bible for managing t1d with the law of small numbers. He should read it and give it to his doctor.

Hang in there Rudy, considering what you have been through you can loose the weight. I can relate being homeless. Homeless in South Georgia for a short spell. God bless. One Vietnam Nam Veteran
I like the concept of keto, and I am going to start it once I get into my own place. I am about to become homeless in a couple of weeks, and I won't be able to control my own food for a while. I do have one concern, though...and that is something I have only recently learned about....which is oxalates. I will have to modify my keto into being also low oxalate. Have you heard anything about oxalates?
DK. It is a separate test from the usual blood chemistries in many settings. You can request an order for it from your doctor. You can also buy a machine and check it at home. It measures three months worth of average blood sugars. If you have your doctor check the A1C, you may also ask him or her to check your fasting insulin level.
No functional ecosystem is without animals. If raised in ways that restore the natural relationship between the animals we use for food and the ecosystem - beef on pasture,moved frequently to fresh grazing as wild herds do, for example - the production of meat is not just 'sustainable', it can INCREASE the fertility of the land, INCREASE forage production from the land, and INCREASE the amount of meat produced on that land - all while reducing or eliminating soil erosion, mitigating both floods and droughts, replenish aquifers and ponds, streams, and rivers, and increase biodiversity of both plant and animal life on that land at the same time. The key is eco-mimicry: the livestock must be managed so they live as they would in the wild. For details, see UA-cam videos featuring Allan Savory of the Savory Institute, Holistic Management Int'l, or Joel Salatin. Herbivores and plants are part of the same system, along with carnivorous mammals, insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles... and the millions of various types of organisms in every tablespoon of healthy soil. Their is competition, but synergies between organisms is much more common. The soil food web makes minerals in the soil available to plants. Plants make carbohydrates from sunlight, Co2, and water - and exude carbohydrates into the soil to feed the soil biology. Plants will even change the type of exudate to 'farm' the specific kind of soil life they need to help prevent or overcome pathogens. Animals eat the plants, spread seeds, and move nutrients - and moisture - around via manure and urine. Most plants benefit from the pruning provided by herbivores. Some - like bunch grasses - will die off without it. Even the saliva of cattle has been shown to be beneficial to the plants they graze.
In the case of fiber I think he leans toward misinterpreting solubility and insolubility as metabolizable and non-metabolizable, respectively. Solubility is not the same as absorbability as can be seen from the action of orally ingested magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), which although highly water soluble acts as a purgative because it is not absorbed from the gut. Conversely, starches are not particularly soluble in water at body temperature yet they are highly metabolizable and often high-glycemic index carbs. The question is whether an ingested fiber is either (1) absorbed and metabolized by the body directly or (2) fermented by gut bacteria to yield metabolites that the body then absorbs and metabolizes. If yes, then to that extent the fiber has to count as a carb. If not, then it is a zero-calorie element of the diet and can be ignored.
Most of foods have GMO's so that in itself causes obesity! It affect your organs, you just about have to eat organic! I watch everything to make sure I'm not eating GMO's!
sue leedy I don't think there is concrete evidence in your statement and good luck not eating GMO. It's in pretty much everything. They've been around for 100 years and the obesity epedemic didn't start then.
@@tracyandrirs8863 GMOs have only been around since the 1980s. I think you are confused with selective breeding which has been going on much longer than 100 years.
@@jeremytag3008 agreed. Corn has been modified by human hand forever but technology started a few decades ago. I guess to me modified no matter which way could be problematic. I said could be. My point was there is still no CONCRETE evidence on what harm GMO'S do to our health. I just don't like statements just thrown out there willy nilly when we have yet to prove anything. No one knows if GMO'S contribute towards obesity. That pretty much goes for almost everything that's been studied. Not too much can be proven without a shadow of a doubt.
Hi, what about those findings by Holt et al in 1997 who state that beef is more insulinogenic than whole wheat pasta, white flour pasta, oatmeal, and muesli? They also found that fish is more insulinogenic than grain bread, popcorn, and apples. Holt et al AJCN 66:1264. 1997
Gail Sheehan That is exactly the question I am asking. I have been on a ketogenic diet for 8 months now (regularly checked with blood ketone meter, urine strips, blood glucose meter, and ketonix breathalyzer). My blood sugars started out at around 6.0. I lost about 16 kilos. I also started intermittent fasting. Usually around 18:6 or so. Nonetheless, my fasting blood sugars have been steadily rising. Yesterday, after a 20 hour fast, they were at 7.4(!!!) while my blood ketones were at 1.4. According to everything I have learned in the last few months, this is not supposed to happen that way! If ketones go up, blood glucose is supposed to go down. I have put on a lot of muscle mass and my visceral fat (measured via an Omron 8 sensor electrical current scale) has decreased from the value of 19, which, according to the scale manufacturer is extremely unhealthy, to 14, which is just "only" unhealthy. Still the rising blood sugars I do not understand at all... I was recommended to go on a protein sparing modified fast (google psmf diet) to try to get those blood sugars down. I started that today.
I had new onset diabetes and for a time took my bld sugar with a glucometer before and after everything i ate. My blood sugars skyrocketed after eating any kind of protein, or cheese, beans, etc. 180's were typical. The only thing that didn't cause it to skyrocket was RAW green leafy vegetables. Also, i had a rebounder. Everytime I ate those veggies, I'd hop on my rebounder (which i kept right by the fridge) and timed a 5min a soft bounce (keeping my feet flat to the mat). Then I would take my blood sugar to see how much exercise would cause my blood sugar to fall. It went down 30points each time. I couldn't understand that---so, i had a friend with diabetes do a 5min health bounce, and hers went down 30points, too. Just seemed like a really great exercise after i discovered that, and i continued it. Then, when I added nopale cactus to my diet, and my blood sugar suddenly plummeted into the hypoglycemic range! ... i ate some raw carrots to raise the blood sugar (not simple carbs). Then right away my blood sugars normalized. Every FBS was 85 or below after that , and could finally add meat, beans, dairy. I started losing a lot of weight when I was rebounding an hour a day in 20min intervals. I was taking magnesium, chromium and vanadium, B12. I also took a pinch of baking soda in a glass of water an hour or so after "meals" and exercise--to keep the acid levels down. It all seemed to work somehow.
Had a friend who did Adkin's diet and after a year of losing tons of weight, he found out he had cancer, and died after 6mos battle. He said if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't have done that diet as he felt all that meat/fish and the pork rinds, etc created too much acid in his body which led to the development of cancer. I don't think he was testing his bld sugars--he was just focused in staying in ketosis to lose weight....whatever the buzz is about ketogenic diet starving cancer, his experience was it optimized the conditions for cancer.
ElevenHundred Sounds I am sorry about your loss. But I do want to say that the ketone level d'Agostino and others are talking about are over 4.0 or 5.0. Something which is excessively hard to achieve with "normal" ketosis. They are experimenting with exogenous ketones. Also if your friend had a fatty liver or was overweight and his liver had insulin resistance (hepatic insulin resistance), then his liver would have continued producing all the glycogen any cancer would have needed to survive and even thrive. Just look at my blood sugars... Another question to you though: My blood sugars shot to 8.4 the other day, while my ketones were still at 1.4. I did, however, measure my blood glucose immediately after I had just had a cup of bone broth. How fast after the meals does that spike in blood sugars occur for you? I measured my blood within 1 or 2 minutes of drinking the cup. Before that I had been fasting for 16 hours. A spike in blood sugars within such a short time seems extreme to me. Since then my fasting blood glucose has come down to 6.7 or so.
The real test is if after doing this, your doctor gives you a glucose tolerance test and you now respond the way non-diabetic person would. Then you can truly say you are cured

Just for perspective, 20 grams per day ("low carb diet") is 5 teaspoons of sugar.
also count carbs in food which likely means no sugar at all
