yes it can be reversed... I am so grateful with both of you... You helped me jump into keto and fasting and, as a consequence, diabetes is over. Thank you...
Thank you so much for this interview! I've shared it to my group and several more times. So much life changing information.! I was never a diabetic but I was pre almost four years ago... I had high blood pressure, asthma and was almost 300 lbs. I was in excruciating pain constantly from my osteoarthritis and bone spurs in my foot and ankle and I was just a metabolic mess. I saw one of Dr Fung's interviews and it changed my life. I learned how to fast. I lost 160 lbs and it reversed ALL my health issues. I'm 61 and maintaining well. I'm loving my ketovore and fasting lifestyle 🥰.
I was no longer considered diabetic within a few weeks of going carnivore! I was so scared but my blood sugar never went too low or too high! I'm now almost 6 months in, on Lion Diet, and I don't even think about my blood sugar or diabetes anymore!
@@JCKay Before carnivore, my blood sugar would spike Up so high, just from a few bites of fruit (upper 200's, close to 300 still 3 hours after eating) The dawn phenomenon still happens; more so in the first few months. I would wake up and it would be between 80-115, usual right around 100. But I eventually stopped checking because it was always in range.
*It worked for me!* I encourage everyone to try low carb. I was diagnosed with diabetes Oct 2021. Thankfully I found out about low carb. Three months later my diabetes was remitted. I am now metabolically healthy and am down to what I weighed in the early 1980s before I had my children and it happened without even trying. I'm off blood pressure drug, improved quality of sleep, chin hairs are getting a lot finer, don't get body odour, and surprisingly my hair is not as grey as it used to be (my boss agrees with my observation of this). My LDL has increased, with lower triglycerides and higher HDL (good ratio).
@@chosenandblessed9040 It's a bit difficult to write that I ate. I realise that there is a lot on the internet and it can be confusing. Here's an excellent lecture by Dr Westman that someone has posted titled: Dr Eric Westman Duke University Ketogenic Diet (search the title on youtube to find it). Another good video: Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines Sarah Hallberg (sadly Dr Hallberg died recently from cancer). Two other channels that are really good are Serious Keto (older videos newer one have a lot of product promotion) and a Pastor called Dennis Pollack with a channel called Beat Diabetes!; both of these channels have some good ideas of foods/meals. I hope that helps. BTW Dr Westman has a list of foods nicknamed Page 4 which can be purchased for $10 USD on his website with the proceeds going towards research.
@@chosenandblessed9040 There's another one by Westman which looks good from the chapters titled: Eric Westman - Practical implementation of a low carb diet
It's true and I'd proved myself that it works. Hba1C from 15 down to 7 in couple of months. And it is still going downward. I'm happy to see all these serious doctors giving kind and honest methods for all the people. The key is self discipline in certain diet and keep exercising. Too many people too neglect of self discipline
@@AngelinaKaul I'm lucky that I don't have severe symptoms from the T2D although It had already been like 8 yrs. I don't take medication and insulin at all. Right now while I am replying you, my A1C is at 5.9.
@ahlin5670 thank you so much. You're giving me hope. My doctor told me I need to immediately get on insulin, statins, and some other meds. Feeling really scared. Started complete Keto 3 days ago. My aic is at 12.9. She told me it's like having cancer and I will not make it to see another 10 years if I don't get on the meds immediately. She said I'm as bad as a heavy train smoker and alcoholic. I don't do either.
@@AngelinaKaul...wow....good on you. Keep it up. Low carbs + keto + fasting is key to put body in rest. Try sense your body reactions , take good oils , good organic animal fats, sea salts etc. Overall, good luck and keep it up.
@@Hi2ndChance thank you so much. I'm working on it. I know it can be achieved. I just wish some of the doctors would understand it and stop scaring their patients.
At the time I am viewing this video (about 2 pm on March 29, 2024) There are only 459 "like" (thumb up). A video this significant needs to have 1 million likes. I love Dr Fung but we all need to spread the message, because too many people are ignoring this important information.
I have a lot of favourite Doctors on UA-cam, these 2 are definitely are on this list. The best information and applicable to a ley person like myself. I credit Dr Fung with providing a lot of information which helped my partner give up taking insulin, he had been taking for over 10 years, that his old doctor kept on increasing.
For those who think that they have seen this, I believe it was split into two smaller videos perhaps for people who won’t watch a full hour of a video. This is the full discussion.
Can we please get to a serious discussion about the phenomenon of what Dr Cywes calls "Insulin Suppression"? My fasting insulin is 2, my C-peptide is 1.56 but my A1c will not budge below 7.1. Low carb 7 years and carnivore 4 years. Tgank you!
I did all the right things,ate a lot of fruit. brown bread, no butter.low sugar. walking. no drinking only to find out I had walked in to a trap..we need more education ASAP
I imagine all insurance companies will be looking to work with the fasting and low carb community. Once they learn how well all this works they will see they have hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars on the line
Unfortunately my A1C jumped from 5.5 to 5.9 in a year. Pre-diabetes... I'm still very low carb. Don't eat anything that will cause this jump. Fasted 18 hours daily Forest hikes 10 miles weekly Lift weights Triglycerides 84 I'm thinking it's inflammation, lack of sleep, or high cortisol levels.
I've heard that when you eat keto/carnivore your hemoglobin live longer so that could cause A1C to rise since they are hanging around longer. Not a bad thing. Dr Ken Berry talks about this.
Get a continuous glucose monitor and within 3 months you will understand how your body responds to food The best way to reeducate yourself and treat your condition
Varying your fasts is better that the same fasting schedule. 18 hours one day, 20 hours another day, 24 another day, 16 one day, 36 another day. What are you macronutrients when you eat? Are you getting adequate protein and fat? Non starchy veggies?
Oh my word.. I wish Dr Fong could finish his sentence… let him finish …then and you can ask questions after.. it’s so hard to watch when a host interrupts the speaker non stop..
Thanks for your information & wisdom . So good to know what is happening & what behaviors to change to get WELL. FUNCTION BETTER!! WE WANT TO FEEL BETTER & STRONGER to experience meaningful experiences to LIVE WELL 😅😊😊 💯👍👍👍👍👍💯
If I register for the lab workshop will I be able to view at a later. Asking as I am in the UK with a 5 hour difference from the east coast so it would 1AM for me
I’m on my way to hopefully reverse mine after 30yrs on insulin. I’m still on insulin and working my way off I have moderately high fibrosis of my liver. I have gone from 130 units of insulin to 34 units a day. I watch my ketones carefully alone with blood glucose because I’m still on jardiance . And metformin
How long did it take you to see your blood sugars fall? Were you able to lose weight on insulin? My blood sugars are going up and I’m eating keto since feb 12th. I’m actually using more insulin and I’m averaging 250 again like I was when I was off of insulin but on keto. Getting frustrated!
One day around midday, I had a couple of strips of bacon and some ham and cheese roll ups. Not a lot of food, but the next day, I wasn't hungry, so I didn't need that day. The following day, the donuts at the gas station were starting to look good. I still wasn't hungry, but the cravings started kicking in, so I ate something that day. When fasting, I think it's important not to white knuckle it. I think it's a bad idea to fight through the cravings. I did that a couple of years ago, and I binged for the next few weeks. I don't think I ever recovered from that. Plus, I'm still hooked on Stevia. 36:33 I'm relatively healthy. But my weight is creeping up while I still have a taste for breaded shrimp and chicken nuggets.
Gotta love you Dr Westman but, you need to stop interrupting your guests when they are talking. Successful interviewers ask questions then listen to the answers. Maybe ask follow-up questions for clarification but, don’t direct the whole event. For me, it’s simply distracting and irritating. Don’t mean to be critical but it’s just too much.
Look up Jason Fung’s youtube videos which explain it all. I just do 18 hour fasts, no food from 6pm till 12md. Yes you can drink plenty of water, black tea or black coffee.
I started with 6 hour fasting, then bumped it up to 12 hour fasting once I got used to it. The thing I remember is that hunger pains only last about 20 minutes. Food cravings only happen when my brain isn't focused on something. There's a big difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and when the Healthcare system treats them the same way, we have more problems. Also, gestational diabetes is another one that's different - gestational diabetes often fixes itself after the pregnancy ends. (Not always though - diabetes is complicated.) I was told that diabetes only occurs in people who have the genetic marker for it, which explains why some people can eat anything and never develop diabetes, while other people need to analyze everything they consume when trying to control blood sugar. Also - physical activity can affect blood glucose, which is why diabetics are urged to exercise, or walk, or just move around more often.
My insulin resistance score is high (which is not good). My A1C is just over the normal range, so it's high, and my cholesterol levels are extremely elevated. My doctor has prescribed a statin for me, which is similar to what others might receive in my situation. So will keto help anyone have similar bloodwork?
Very frustrated. My mum is 78 she was 60kg and 48 kg (height 152 cm) Low carb but her fasting sugar still 150 to 200. She is taking metformin,statin,blood thinner tablets.
I too have had little progress with diabetes(20years). I am currently trying to stick to Lion diet but my coffee addiction has been hard to deal with. Unfortunately I think coffee is my problem. Have you tried the Lion version?
Most T2D is a metabolic disorder caused by insufficient iodine, halides clogging up insulin receptors, and low mitochondria count from too much carbohydrates.
Can it really be reversed? Maybe controlled because the moment you start eating any carbs at all up goes the blood glucose immediately. Reversed would surely mean you could eat a less restrictive diet. So I think people should use the word controlled instead. Reversed is misleading.
They call it "remission", meaning that you can bring your blood glucose levels to normal, reverse fatty liver disease, reduce level of trigs and bring back blood pressure back to normal. But you will still suffer the long term effects of the damage that was done for decades by high insulin and blood glucose levels. And if you try to consume high levels of sugars, your body will still have a hard processing them. But definitely many people that have gotten their insulin and blood glucose to normal levels for an extended period of time can reincorporate a slightly higher complex carbs amount than the ones that they needed to consume to initially get the diabetes under control (like having 50-75 g daily carbs instead of 20)
It’s not misleading . When you eat carb the natural response is rise in your glucose , then it trend downward . In the beginning of diabetes reversal you have to make your cells to become insulin become sensitive again. This is why you do low carb and fasting to reach insulin sensitivity.
I tell people that my diabetes is in remission. Somebody who is familiar with low carb asked me can I eat more carbs and I said yes I _can_ but I _choose_ not to because they make me hungrier and crave more carbs.
What is misleading is to tell people they got diabetes because they got bad genes from their parents, or because their body got worn out by old age. That's B.S. Diabetes is not genetic. Diabetes is only associated with age because it takes 20 to 30 years of abusing your body with the wrong food before your doctor one day tells you "Your blood sugar is high, you have diabetes." This distinction between "PRE"-diabetes and diabetes is also B.S. PRE-diabetes is diabetes. The exact same disease. Just your doctor is not ready to prescribe a pill or injection for you yet. Diabetes is reversed in the sense that you can measure insulin with a c-peptide test. If you have diabetes diagnosis based in blood sugar level, guaranteed your insulin is multiple times normal health. Reverse the diabetes with low carb diet, then not only does your blood sugar return to normal, your body weight return to normal, your blood pressure return to normal, but also your INSULIN returns to normal. The c-peptide test will show you insulin has returned to normal. Listen to Dr Fung in this video again. He very clearly explains what he means by reversal. If you want to quibble on what the word reverse means, you are ignoring the basic concept: Diabetes can be solved. Diabetics can become healthy again.
You're implying that people shouldn't use the term "reverse" because they can't get away with eating the thing that got them into trouble in the first place. That's like continuing to be a heavy drinker and complaining that your fatty liver didn't go away after getting a transplant for a new one.
Not very informative. No instructions how to actually reverse the diabetes. No instructions on exact what foods to eat and when. Should have discussed an actual diet and actually state which foods to eat and which not to
I’ve never seen Dr Fung cut off so relentlessly! He is frequently not allowed to finish his thought.
It looks like a zoom call situation and there's probably a delay. Dr. Westman seems like a very polite guy, so I doubt it's intentional.
Both obviously respect each other very highly

Can one straightaway reject insulin injection one when is tryingnto reverse diabetics by just stricting one's diet?
when my blood sugar is high 12+ I feel starved. When its 4 I don't want to eat. Lol not good if you're going low.
My insulin resistance score is high (which is not good). My A1C is just over the normal range, so it's high, and my cholesterol levels are extremely elevated. My doctor has prescribed a statin for me, which is similar to what others might receive in my situation. So will keto help anyone have similar bloodwork?

Low carb but her fasting sugar still 150 to 200.

Statins can actually increase blood sugar and stop omsulin from working so well which they probably dont tell you when prescribed.
