  • DIABETES of all types - 1, 2, gestational and insulin resistance, is one of the most common yet poorly understood and mismanaged diseases in the world. YOU LIKELY HAVE OR ARE BEGINNING TO GET THIS DISEASE AND ARE LIKELY TO HAVE CONSEQUENCES FROM IT, POSSIBLY EVEN DYING OF IT. This video explores the TRUTH behind the cause of the disease and WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET YOURS INTO REMISSION OR TIGHTLY CONTROL IT SO THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE HARM. This video extensively conflicts with the current management principles that are making people sicker and worsening their diabetic risk. The video is factual, unbiased and unsupported by any funding from corporations or organizations with financial conflicts of interest. Be empowered. Know your risk!

    OMG ... this is "kitchen chemistry" at its best and finest. I intend this as a compliment of the highest order because when someone deeply understands a complex subject the evidence lays in their ability to explain it in what I call "kitchen chemistry" terms: you get the full, clear explanation; you gain understanding and knowledge; you have much new information to use to acquire more, and to have a better understanding and take better care of yourself. The realization that the blood drawn for BG, insulin, C-peptide tests is from the point of the body where BG concentration in the blood is at its lowest - after it's already been all around your body - heart, lungs, etc., wreaking havoc - was a new piece of information for me, and it was chilling. I want to know more! So much more! Thanks, Dr. Cywes, for this. Keep it coming, sir!

    What helped me lower my sugar level besides no or very few carbs: not eating too frequently, try to go without eating as long as you might from waking up to the first (or only) meal of the day (very powerful imho), of course weight loss (for every pound you lose, your pancreas will write a
    gratitude letter
    on behalf of all organs to you) and exercise.
    Not so much to reduce weight or blood sugar, exercise is beneficial for the fat head and soul. At this point a thank you to "Carbo", my ghost dog, whom I have to walk every day, otherwise he will be quite cross and mess up the interior. : D

    This video convinced me that despite working hard on diet, exercise and sleep for 9 months, I am still insulin resistance. My fasting BG is still in the 90's and exercise consistently increases my BG. What is more disturbing is that I get flashing images of pound cake and sandwiches while I am going low carb for a day or so. Yikes! I guess the next step for me is to cut out carb altogether for a while and see what happens.

    💯👍Being an athletic cyclists 🚴‍♂️ I did the carb loading for years because that was the "healthy " diet. Well being fit on the outside I was sick on the inside developed insulin resistance and probably prediabetes. I switched to a very low carb no sugar keto diet heavy on animal foods diet. After a few months I reversed my insulin resistance and got fat adapted. My blood work is now excellent and I eat les than 20 grams of carbs a day very few vegetables and mostly animal based diet I have tons of energy and no inflammation, bloating or irritable bowel symptoms. Very easy satisfying way to eat.

  • @billb5732
    @billb5732 2 роки тому +6

    Fascinating. I have been curious about glucagon vs insulin since a brief-but-spectacular experience with Victoza and a discussion by Ben Bikman; both a couple of years ago. My experience with low carb has been challenging: my health and blood tests have improved, but blood glucose remains elevated (120-ish) despite eating only meat, eggs, fish, cheeses, and liver. My interpretation has been that this is because I am still insulin resistant, which keeps my insulin levels high (therefore making weight loss impossible, despite eating 30% fewer calories than I did when eating SAD).
    It would never, ever, have occurred to me to take insulin in order to improve insulin resistance.

    Can a zero carnivore diet alone fix type 2 diabetes? I’ve been doing carnivore for 6 months now, my A1c in August 2021 was 7.4, Then 3 months on carnivore in November of 2021, went to 5.4. I’m still doing carnivore, and will have my A1c tested again in May 2022.
    When I first started carnivore back in August 2021, my fasting blood sugars were 147*, and now they test at 75-85* for the last month now.

    Thanks Rob, great reminder of exactly what we spoke about in my consultation. The problem is that forcing my blood sugar down using Lantus has resulted in macular swelling (under control for 4 years), my feet and ankles swelling and weight gain (~7kg in 2 months) with no change in diet (carnivorish & OMAD). But reduced my A1c from 7.6 to 5.9. Getting the balance right is tricky. I'm trying Protaphane instead of Lantus to see if I can address the dawn phenomenon but not off to a promising start - let's see. Thanks again for your fabulous videos.

    I am on keto and fasting already. Sure, cardio and resistance excise does help to burn up extra glucose. But when you are 75 age is a limiting factor on muscle growth and resistance training. How else can you lower your blood sugar? Doctors only give Metformin, not insulin until Metformin has proven not effective. Now, what do you do?

    Today I had a meaningful conversation with my breathing class member and he asked me for information. Knowing what I know and also knowing that I do not know the amount of unknowns, is a difficult situation. His gastro MD seems very old school and I fear he will not get best un-illness advise.
    Where can he get your blue pamphlet? Handing that over the table, he at least could ask all the meaningful questions to ensure dogma free advice from a future MD, like yourself.

I go through months at a time eating very strict low carb/ Keto and my fasting blood sugar is staying high normal 98 to 111.?this scares me and I’m not sure what to do anymore.

    I love what you're doing doc! Just 1 question. Why not do it without insulin? I thought that type 2 diabetes was a disease of hyper insulinemia. So instead of giving your patients insulin to get their type 2 diabetes under control wouldn't it make more sense to have them fast? That's what I did and it's proving very effective thus far. That combine with a 0 carb diet of course. I'm assuming you know all about Jason Fung's work. I'm curious to know your thoughts.

    Ok..this sounds like me. I’m very insulin resistant. How on earth do I convince my own GP in the UK to go down this thought process? It’s taken low carb/keto and weight lost (12kg), resistance training to get my HB1c to 7.4 and off the metformin? Despite my GP being horrified about my approach of low carb/keto. My GP (and I’ve tried a few) are so truly on the WHO guidelines T2D of GI etc. Do I keep going low carb 50g a day and sooner of later my resistance cells will heal themselves? Confused I certainly am. Can you recommend any UK Drs?

    • @Pooshee123
      @Pooshee123 2 роки тому +5

      If you keep going with low carb/keto, you will become more insulin sensitive. It might not be quick, but it’ll happen. 50 grams or less of total carbs daily (not net carbs) should be fine. I turned my T2 diabetes around doing just that. Personally, doctors have never given me good nutritional advice, so I don’t bother discussing it with them.

      @rw-xf4cb 2 роки тому +2

      You need to fast ~3 days or so to just burn the glycogen in the liver then you can start burning fat (assuming not doing intensive exercise to assist), but from what Dr Cywes is saying you need to get glucagon down to avoid the liver overproducing glucose (neo-genesis) hence the insulin on top of metformin as IR/Type2 has high insulin and glucagon (which isn't often measured). I have been doing Keto for sometime but have always had elevated blood sugar and rarely seen it down to 100 and while ketone level is ok couldn't understand why sugar levels didnt drop but as Dr Cywes is saying the body is screaming for sugar even though it doesn't need it or want it and the liver is mass producing it....

    Anybody- where did he get the optimum fasting glucose range of 82-85? I’m not questioning it but have never heard that before. Been wearing a cgm and fasting 72hr every other week and that keeps my glucose avg at 85. With no fasting and eating low carb it’s 95. So 3 days to empty the liver, 2 weeks for glucose to creep up?

    Potential feedback: when you are describing the human bodies metabolic system, use a diagram or graphic. The average viewer you are trying to reach have a rudimentary knowledge of physiology and will only understand what you are saying at a cursory level. If they cannot really understand it, the valid arguments you are making will have little impact.

    Let's ask the obviating question:
    "Why not just,...cut out all grains, added sugars to anything...and more-or-less quickly or less quickly take out most other carbs over a 6 month period or more quickly?"
    I don't believe everyone needs Metfomin...for example, to "reactivate insulin intracellular" job .
    Obviously...monitoring one's sugars closely, is best...but most people can't afford...."good food, and proper..."Gold Standard" monitoring.
    Just cut carbs...and give each of yourselves "90 day change-over periods.

  • @rw-xf4cb
    @rw-xf4cb 2 роки тому +1

    Does Keto long term effectively cause Type 2 Diabetes as the body is fat adapted by Keto the need for sugar is reduced so that someone going back to SAD will see elevated blood sugars as I have seen the body doesn't have the ability to pull the sugar out of the blood as the cells don't need glucose anymore as they feed on fat/ketones. Sadly only got interested in blood sugars when doing Keto so dont know what they were in the past (except overweight, skin tags which are markers for DB). However listening to this now understand the dawn effect (and others) that its intracellular glucose being low causing the end affect of the liver (via glucagon) to push out more glucose in the blood stream (I didnt understand that - the DRs just say take metformin) - thanks Dr Cywes!

      Is your blood drawn no more than 12 hours or so of fasting? It is my understanding that if you’re fasting longer than that for a blood draw then your blood sugar numbers can’t be skewed.
