I became type 2 diabetic in 2021. I refused meds and said I would change my diet and that's what I did. I reversed it 4 months later. I lost a lot of weight quickly. I only eat food I make myself. At the beginning my body and brain were in a battle but I stuck rigid to it and eventually my body and brain clicked into sync. My body now looks amazing and I feel fantastic. The only treat I eat daily is a homemade flapjack and I make a batch of one week's worth. Weirdly my eyesight has improved, but here is the kicker. This is a lifelong dietary change, it's not something I can dip in and out of and it takes discipline. I don't crave sugar anymore, but I feel like a 25 year old in a body that now only looks like the body of a 25-30 year old in peak physical form and I'm 59. I keep a photo of myself on the fridge to remind myself how I used to look. It's a great motivator to keep on track. Exercise wise, I walk just 20 minutes a day at a fast enough pace to get my heart rate up. Now I do intermittent fasting and don't have breakfast until mid morning and don't eat after 8pm. All I can say is it's like I have shed the body of an old avatar and I am in a new fresh body full of energy. It's like I have been reborn.
I started a keto lifestyle 6 years ago , fast 16/8 everyday and walking 10k steps a day...i managed to put my type 2 diabetes in remission after 19 years diabetic...i lost 40kgs...i have also integrated your useful hacks and got better results !
I am also type 2 diabetic. for the last 3 months I have also been doing the keto thing and been very strict with myself. I now do not take ANY drugs for the diabetes and it is under controll simply through diet and exercise. I have been diabetic for 16 years, at one point approx 12 months ago my nurse said to me that I might have to start on the insulin jabs because it was so bad. If I can do this anyone can, it does not have to be that difficult.
Keto is very most unhealthy way that you can eat and will bring on all the standard diabetic complication of kidney disease, heart disease, vascular dementia, stroke. Cancer... If you want to correct the condition of your body and not have to hide from carbohydrates look up Mastering Diabetes and buy their book. You will be able to learn how to really reverse insulin resistant from human biochemists who actually DO understand diabetes and are T1 themselves.
I am diabetic in remisión. I do not eat carbs, but i am not agreed with you. The glucose is not that the body love simple it is available everyday because the glucose it is the normal food for people. The normal sourse of enegy it is the fat.
Love your videos, thank you ❤ Would a leg master machine work instead of walking as I am waiting for a TKR and I know my legs have weakened due to lack of exercise because of the pain? 🥇💐🙏🙋🏻♀️👏🌟🇬🇧
@@teresaspensley5640not sure what a leg master is but she has mentioned in vidoes before that you can sit in a chair and do calf raises for 10minutes as well. Search YT on how to do them if unsure. 😊 Be well.
I’ve started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" by Julian Bannett, I completely changed my habits. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
With capitalism you have there, you should question everything. Health is not industry and can't be, but your government tries to make money out of everything, even if health. Terrible, stupido amerikano, drives so many people in ambis 👎
Government, schools, pharmaceutical companies, food industries don’t educate the people because in their mind makng money is more important than helping peoples.
@@richardjackson5380 Im just curious... what did she not get right or not understand about insulin resistance? I noticed she said insulin only comes into play during a glucose "spike" which I think is wrong... insulin is created no matter the level of glucose. Also, she said insulin wont "dispose" of extra glucose which is pretty weird thing to say. Nothing is being dispose of.
@@Jojo-o6o6w She claims that it is the amount of insulin in your body that causes insulin resistance (she compares it to how humans develop resistance to caffeine). This isn't true. Over exposure to insulin doesn't cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs in any cell whenever that cell reaches it's maximum "energy" processing limit. Insulin resistance is a safety system for cells that protects them against damage from being overexposed to glucose. As the lady correctly pointed out, whenever there are toxic levels of glucose in the blood, insulin is released. The insulin then attempts to deal with the toxic levels of glucose by moving the glucose out of the blood and into various muscle and organ cells for processing. Well, just like there is only so much glucose that the bloodstream can handle safely, individual cells also have a limit to how much glucose they can contain safely. So, if insulin is trying to get a specific cell to take in more glucose than it can safely handle, that specific cell will lock out its insulin receptors and begin "resisting insulin." So insulin is saying, "hey, I need to get rid of this excess glucose now." But once a particular cell is at its glucose capacity, it starts to say, "I refuse to take any more of the glucose." So it is not just that there is a lot of insulin randomly floating around in the blood. The real issue is that cells have reached maximum glucose capacity and have locked out insulin because insulin wants to have them take in more glucose. It's a matter of glucose capacity, not insulin exposure.
Hello from Sofia-Bulgaria! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have changed my life and it will not be an exaggeration if I even say that you saved my life! I have been insulin resistant for 47 years and have had type 2 diabetes for a year with complications of polyneuropathy and others! But, thanks to your book The Glucose Revolution, I was able to enter normal glucose limits and lost 20 kg! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Be healthy and very happy!❤❤❤❤
i wanted to put this to the test. i woke up and had 123 on my blood glucose. i exercised, showered, had 3 scrambled eggs (with sliced tomato, jalapeño and onion) with avocado and a small corn tortilla. i waited 2 hours, took my blood sugar test again and it dropped to 90. i’m so shocked. i’ve never had it anywhere below 109. thank you so much.
As someone diagnosed with pcos at 14 (10 years ago) I have never had any doctor or even dietician explain insulin resistance so clearly and directly. Thank you
@@buckmurdock2500: I can only guess that you are joking. Speaking as a professional with 30 years of tech writing experience, to get to the point of understanding those two words requires either many hours of internet research or years of preliminary study.
No such thing as "Insulin Resistance". Made up term. What does exist is: (1) Not enough insulin is produced, (2) Eat more than body uses and not enough physical activity, (3) Iatrogenic induced higher glucose from medication. I've never seen an insulin injection not lower glucose levels. These modern buzz words "Glucose Spike" or "Insulin Spike" feed the industry with profits, and she sells books. Eating raises glucose and insulin takes glucose where it's need for ATP cellular energy, nothing bad about that. And nobody should mess with the process unless their numbers are very high. Ideal glucose numbers have been lowered so basically almost anybody can be called diabetic. Fasting glucose 140-180 were "normal" and only above 250 was considered possibly diabetic because above 250 keto acidosis was a concern. Pediatrics more recently lowered children's levels and now more kids can be labeled and treated. Originally kids with bedtime levels of 200 were "normal". Higher morning glucose levels "Dawn Phenomenon" is nature's evolutionary way of giving people energy in the morning because humans didn't eat 3 meals and in between snacks daily. The industry changed parameters and demonizing of natural processes created the situation, which is actually more of a mental thing.
@@buckmurdock2500 Thats a term, not an explanation. I can explain rocket science in one word "explosion". Right? simple, now go launch a space shuttle.
I am a man of 64 years old from Botswana. I have been diagnosed with sugar diabetes in the past week,i didn't know how to handle the situation. You really made me understand this and have uplifted my hope.
I'm actually blown away. Even though my doctor gave me the alarm a while back and I have been digesting information for more than 3 years, this is by far the most easy to understand, well organized presentation that I have ever seen on this topic. Very well done!
This is terrifying to realize that it needs to be so simple and basic to explain and only then people start to understand. People know every single detail about their mobile phones, TV sets and cars and yet have no knowledge about how the body works. No wonder people believe what is told in the ads without any criticism. So sad. :-(
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
Here in the USA we need the FDA to be financed by the people not the food industry so they can get things like fructose, seed oil, and many other products out of our food ! 😡😡😡
Or go to Universal Healthcare so the FDA is directed by saving money to improve food regulations that would eliminate these toxins and improve health outcomes for all. We could also eliminate medical bankruptcy which is the number one cause of bankruptcy here in the US. We have the most unhealthy food of the industrialized nations. Driven by profits and lobbyists in the food, drug, and medical industries. Period.
Your ability to distill complex concepts into easily digestible explanations is truly remarkable. In just a few moments, you've achieved what some medical professionals struggle to do in weeks. Your knack for breaking down intricate information, coupled with your adept use of analogies and relatable comparisons, is invaluable. Your contributions are akin to finding a treasure, worth more than its weight in gold. Keep up the outstanding work, and continue enlightening others with your exceptional talent.
My blood sugar spiked to 453. I decided at that time to lower my glucose levels, get off my diabetes and high blood pressure meds. I started to do my research and came across your videos. They have been very helpful not only in lowering my blood glucose levels but understanding how my body works. It was very important to me to understand why and what was happening. I’m beginning to feel so much better and look better. I am 75 years old.
Lucy u say u got off Blood Pressure medication.I was told by my Doctor I had to stay on them for life once on them!! I have T2 Diabetes also but I had Blood Pressure way before that.
@thelight9972 no I've stayed low carb . Feel so much better now and full of energy. Few weeks ago I had a carb heavy meal and didn't like how lethargic I felt after it. I couldn't go back to that way of eating now .
Decrease stress, exercise, more sleep, more fiber, avoid processed foods, intermittent fasting, check blood sugar regularly, and eat more diabetes superfoods. I loved this video as it puts everything in one place for the beginner. I've been following this advice with Keto for 3 years now and my only regret is that I did not start when I was younger. Everything has improved in this 72 year old body. Excellent A1c, Lipid profile, sable ideal weight. When my friends ask I am going to send them this video.
I almost never leave comments on videos, but I was genuinely blown away by this video. I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and had an emotional breakdown over how scared, worried and overwhelmed I felt. This video helped destigmitize assumptions I have heard about insulin resistance, and the hacks helped me calm my nerves about making lifestyle changes and understanding everything will be okay. Thank you, you truly are making a change.
I cried watching this. I felt like a small baby who needs to learn to walk anyhow. I used to watch your reels randomly and be ignorant. Basically, your content is so accurate that i don't want to know because that would imply, I am inviting diabetes in my life. Well, I did, and I see you as my guiding light. Nobody has explained insulin resistance like you. Subconsciously I feel depressed when I have to follow diet and watch what I eat but I will follow the hacks and all your suggestions too. Thank you and God blessings
I’ve had Type 2 for nearly 20 yrs I’ve had countless Doctors explain how Insulin and Diabetes work and I could never understand them. She has just explained it perfectly and finally I understand 🤔😀
@tigressnsnow prob what was in your vaccine as a kid or Root canal procedures This myth derives from unfounded claims that 97% of people who have terminal cancer had root canal surgery, suggesting a link between dental work and the development of cancer. maybe our parents used DDT or some other toxic products
@@tigressnsnow there are genetic factors as well , Asians especially Indians (were we had famine in previous generations)are more prone to type 2 diabetics even without being obese and at an earlier age .
Hi Everyone. Im a 33year male from south africa. I do periodic medical tests every year and that includes diabetic tests... I've been doing this for 9years to date. For year 2024, I went through the tests in July 2024 and ddnt have any problem. Im the last 3 weeks, started experiencing upnormal level of thirst, frequent urination, pain on my upper abdominal area, citing pain between liver and pancreas, blurred vision and dizziness there and there. I decide to go and consult today. I took blood and urine tests, the tests revealed that im diabetic, the sugar level was at 29😢. My journey begins 2day... I checked a lot of videos in the last 5hours and came across this family. I must say that you came across as the best teacher and helper, I'm inspired to follow you through out this journey... I'm hopping for the bead. I downloaded the 10 hacks on your description 😊.
no, everything starts with support. many dont have any support, so they are destined to fail. and when you are alone, the world falls on your shoulders. depression is inevitable. dont sugar coat the reality of things (no pun intended). with diabetes, the problems compound significantly. get out of one rut, 20 other ruts jump in it's place. it is never ending.
I adore this woman, and I love how passionate she is when she speaks, so authentic - which is super rare in the world of youtube. I see big future for this young lady!
Yes she is lovely and helpful. But boy does she get stick from many medical people who are so stuck in there ways. It's almost like they want me to be on medication for the rest of my life😢
Hello and thank you for sharing. My glucose level is 90 and they told me that I was prediabetic when I was at 85. They have already talked about putting me on insulin. I let them write the prescription snd won’t pick it up. I did exactly what you’re saying. I gave up fast foods, sugar and starches and I feel 100% better. I can get up at 4 o’clock in the morning and start my day. By the way, I don’t drink coffee, teas, fruit drinks or energy drinks. I only drink water. Again, thank you for sharing and God Bless you and Family. 🙏🏾❤️
@@joseredcthat’s why I am suprised, I have fasting blood sugar or 85-90 every time I check and I went for general test and was told my A1C is 6.2 and said am pre diabetic, I have been checking my blood sugar over and over again since then and I have been having 85mg/dl, am just wondering if the lab made a mistake, I don’t do soda, sugar or sweet drinks🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@Peace-tx7fc Hello from Germany. I try to answer you in my non-perfect english 🙂 Your fasting blood sugar level stays in normal range also if you already startet to get insulin resistant. When you messure this blood sugar, you can see, that your body still can manage your blood sugar level, but you don't messure how much effort your body has to do to reach it. the body needs more and more insulin to get the same result of blood sugar level ,because it gets slightly more and more resistant of insulin. Any day your body is not able anymore to keep the level unter 100, although you are full of insulin. The hb A1c marker rises then. This show the average blood sugar over the last 3-4 month. If this marker is above 5,7 you devloped an insulin resistance already and if you don't change anything, it's getting worst. any time you have 6.2 and any day you are above 6.5, than it's Type 2 Diabetes. Hope you understand, why your doctor sais "Prediabetes" even if your blood sugar is ( *still* ) around 85, when your A1c already is like 6.2. Thats way too high already.
15 years ago I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My doctor sent me to diabetes training and the person gave me a few simple guidelines. Don't eat useless carbs like white rice or any processed food. And if you have to have bread she gave me a phrase that stuck: "The whiter the bread, the sooner you're dead". My A1C went to normal in no time.
@@mike330i right? Heard it once and it got stuck. Rarely had white bread since then. Only in Keto bread form plus Glucose testing after having it for the first time.
You are out here saving lives!! Thank you so much! Newly diagnosed diabetic here. I just started using your hacks and it’s good to know I’m on this journey with others, together. I thought I was just chronically tired and I thought my low blood sugars were just anxiety attacks! Thank you for spreading awareness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Following GG hacks has changed my life. I was prediabetes I have now lost almost 20kg with these hacks and intermittent fasting. Added yoga and resistance training and now feel and look 20 years younger. Oh and now 135 days alcohol free. It started by taking the time to learn what Jess has to teach. And I looove her accent 🥰
Agreed. I do: 1) Intermittant fasting - This is the king of immediately dropping blood sugar. I usually only eat in a 5 hour window. Saves me money too! 2) Drastically reduce sugar and starches (sweet fruit juice included) 3) Walk at least 10 miles per week 4) Monitor your blood sugar, especially before and 1 hour after eating anything you suspect that is spiking your blood sugar. Amazingly, diet soda does not spike my blood sugar. However, it's bad on the body, so don't be like me and drink it. Lol.
As a teacher I can tell you that I somewhat agree with you, but you have to know that some kids just don't want to learn. It's a sad truth that surprised me a lot when I began teaching. I always thought that kids didn't learn because the teacher was "bad", etc. In some cases it's true but a lot of kids just don't have the motivation to learn anymore, even if you help them, explain, give them more time, try to make the course more fun, etc.
Wow, I’ve been a diabetic for 6 years and I’ve never heard it explained this way. For the first time I completely understand what my body is going through because of how I’m feeding it. I’m going on a new journey from here on out. Thank you so much!!
In January my H1bc was 10.7. By intermittent fasting, 18 hours fasting, exercises, cardio, yoga and resistance training in six months ie. in July my h1bc is at 5.0 without any medication
I and many others like me cannot have the starch & sugar filled foods because of addiction. I gave up sugar & high carb foods and finally after 20 years as a type 2 diabetic lost weight and had the A1c of a non diabetic. I’ve been sugar free 10 years now. I think this is a great idea for people without an addiction concern. ❤
Your method saved me. Your book was the first thing I found when I realized I can control my insulin resistance. I use most of your hacks with every meal. I feel so much better. This video is the absolute best description of insulin resistance!!! I’ve been searching for a year to find a way to completely understand why this is happening. Finally I found it. ❤❤❤
My dr. asked me to try this way of eating. I’ve lost several pounds in a month and feel good, more energy and clarity. It’s so easy to follow. This isn’t a diet. The hacks are a gentle, satisfying way of life. I’m actually looking forward to my next set of labs with hope. Thank you so much!
Wow, this was so educational you actually broke it down to where anyone could understand it. As many videos I’ve watched about diabetes and insulin resistance this is the GOAT!!! Thank so much for sharing this❤
Absolutely brilliant. I have as yet not seen anyone explain insulin resistance better than you do and making understanding this rather complex matter easier. Thank you again for the great work you are doing and keep it up.

Every doctor in the USA should recommend your site for viewing! All they say here is walk more cut back on carbs, calories in calories out sounds simple right it is not that simple. These videos explain what dozens of books say but in a simple easy way to understand how the body works! Thank you!
Hi from Singapore. Thanks for refreshing presentation on managing diabetes. I have T2D for more than 24 years. I read Glucose Revolution and started incorporating the practices in my eating habits. My Hb1Ac lowered within a month. Will retest next month. Best illustration in this video is the accurate presentation of the amount of sugar in the blood stream - one 5g sugar cube.
@@jeanrobertplante You are correct, but maybe she is an exception. Some people have high red blood cell turnover so it can drastically change in a month. Others have slow red blood cell turnover and it can take longer than 3 months to notice the changes.
You're just a genius my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 6 months ago and with our Asian Lifestyle it was becoming increasingly difficult he has lost about 10kgs since now after watching your video which you've explained excellently I have some hope now I'm also classified as a pre diabetic since 2016 I turned 69 this and would also love reverse it for both of us Thanks a million for your great tips
I just wanted to say thank you! i just found out that I'm pre-diabetic, so this information came at the perfect time. I love this simple and sane approach!!
Im 33 years old, i was just told yesterday evening by my doctor that im insulin resistant, she said she was suprised, given that i am young, not overweight, and overall healthy. She said that it was genetic. Which honestly has made me feel kinda hopeless. Ive been trying to understand whats going on in my body and trying to understand what to do about it. Thank you for your video its given me hope and is helping me better understand what this information means! Im so grateful ❤

Were you tested on the possibility of having MODY? I fit into your description and my endo does not believe I have type 2 and will run every other test until it is proven otherwise 😅 Type 1/LADA first, MODY second and Type 2 is the last option if all else fails
I’m in the same boat! I’m relatively conservative in my carb and sugar intake. I don’t like to overeat, and if anything, I’m considered borderline underweight. And yet, at age 41, I’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic!! After observing the rest of my lifestyle, I see that lack of adequate sleep, lack of exercise, and poor stress management are the likely culprits. (Turns out cortisol and lack of sleep can totally increase insulin resistance and wreak havoc on your hormone balance, which also can contribute to insulin resistance!) These 4 hacks in this video, along with better sleep and exercise, give me hope that I can make small changes to reverse this in time!
You changed my life GG. I incorporate these hacks and my kids 4 and 1 eat like this too. I’m not hungry literally ever hour anymore. I’m no longer a carb slave and lost all the weight I needed to look athletic now. I never understood why I was 10 lbs overweight despite daily gym. It was all the fruit and oatmeal I was eating. I love Greek salads with Peperchino’s (they have vinegar in them) with crunchy iceberg lettuce, a little romaine and grated aged cheese on top. So delicious 😋 I have this as a veggie starter most days.
Hi! We have kids similar age. Still 3 and 1 here. U included yoghurt and vinegar? I realised vinegar gives me hot flashes...I am not sure if is the reason, but when I don't have apple vinegar I don't have them...what other changes did u make. I have to lose many kg....
The iceberg doesnt really have much to offer nutritionally, but it cant hurt I guess. I try to go full romaine and spinach. If I could get a good source for arugula, I would be going with that. A couple other channels worth looking at would be Eric Berg and "motivational doc" (forgot his name).

I am an Executive chef and Certified Dietary Manager/Nutritionist for past 30 years. Recent pre diabetes dx and long term hypertension dx with meds 60 year old white male 5'10 215#. I always have eaten on healthy side but used lots of sugar in my ginger sun tea and in my coffee 3c.every morning. I have been out of work for past two years and have been somewhat sedentary. My weight was 250# and have cut out sugar, bread, rice and pasta replaced sugar with yellow PC for coffee and tea as only beverages for intake for past month and still going thru withdrawals. I thoroughly enjoyed your education. Sometime we just need a reminder. I know I am going overboard and need to add more activity and vinegar daily. You are amazing!! Thank you!!
I've recently been told I've have diabetes and I've been really stressed over what food I can and can't have. Your Food Classification Master list has been a HUGE help. Thank you so much!
Always do your own testing on your meals 1.5 hours after the meal to see if your getting diet right. Under 160 on your glucose meter is good. I usually can keep my after meal blood sugar spikes below 125.
I have been doing intermittent fasting 18:6 every day for almost 8 years. My last fasted glucose was 49. I also eat a mostly real food. Very little ultra prosscessed foods.
My diabetes is in full remission! I changed my diet on January 8th 2024. Since then I no longer need insulin shots and I lost 65 pounds and I am not diabetic anymore! Carnivore diet is the best.
Oh dear. You need to be aware that carnivore will bring on all the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, heart disease, vascular dementia, stroke, cancer.... The longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy.
I love your explanations! I bought a cgm, at my Drs urging, because my fasting glucose labs was 104. I am gluten free so I don’t eat any grains, I eat clean, restrict sugar and fast for 17/18 hours every day. The Dr instructed that I experiment and do my best to find foods that do not make my glucose jump past 100. I have discovered, in just 2 days, that just about everything I put in my mouth makes my glucose spike over 100 and it stays over 100 for the rest of my eating window. At night it levels out to about 94 and stays there all night, until I take a bite of food. The highest jump was to 118 when I had potato soup. (I knew that was risky.) How does one find foods to eat that won’t increase glucose.? This seems like an impossible task!

Hi GG! a big fan here from the Philippines! just last Dec. 2023, I was diagnosed as a diabetic at the age of 22. With a whooping number of 195 Fasting Blood Sugar and 8.52 HBA1C. I haven't got my period too for almost 6 months! I ran into your videos with Marie Forleo and it changed my life! Just went back to the doctor last March 19 and my Fasting Blood Sugar plays at 100-120 and my HBA1C is 6.30. The results are still high but I am very happy that it already went low in just 3 months. I am a bit strict in my food intake tho, I only consume 100g of rice in lunch and I also give myself a treat of dark chocolate sometimes... I am also very active, I go to the gym, play badminton, run and even dance. I didn't expect that my life now would be this exciting and amazing! I also got my period back! I've been appreciating every little thing that I do (you see, no brain fog! hahaha) I love you and the hacks! May you continue to inspire more people. Hope you could have a conference here in the Philippines soon! I LOVE YOU!
Stop that rice! At least for 12 weeks. Then eat it last, after your fat and protein. Try to take Berberine before your meal with rice. See if that helps you out. That's part of GG protocol too.... good luck!
@@HeyKeithyyyy Great, but you onow there are carbs in vegetables and fruit, right? Just cut out the rice altogether and you'll see anazing results in 8-12 weeks.
@@HeyKeithyyyyhaha I relate to this. As an Asian, certain foods need rice. Here is the thing though. Almost everyone eats rice in Asian countries. But not everyone is diabetic. I’m Japanese and first thing we put in our mouth at meal is rice. Not a lot. But just with chopstick. Then we have vegetables, protein, often we eat them with rice together, not one by one. So I wonder why not majority of people in Japan has diabetes. Is it because of amount that they eat? ( their portion is very small) amount of vegetables? Because they tend to walk in their everyday life?
Yep, I started my journey with 600, went to urgency to lower it to 350. I started by using meds and trying to not eat any sugar, flour, tortillas and I kept my glucose in that range. Later on I watched videos promoting walks after each meal and it did help but I had to walk 30 to 60 minutes because I ate too much. After I reverted my diet to a more healthy one and started running in the mornings I stabilized my glucose to normal levels without meds. Even now I haven't exercised but it's quite rare to go off the charts whenever I eat something even with added sugar. And this was from may 1st to now, so it's doable to recover from being diabetic.
My Endocrine specialist in Europe told me to walk fast for 30 mins, after a meal...but to WAIT for 20 mins first, until the food began digesting., then walk fast! And she also said to do resistance "training". I asked her if mowing my huge 2,000 m square paddock, would qualify, as I have the drag the mower back and forth around trees etc. She thought for a while and said OK, but try and do other resistence exercises too, because being female and in my 80's, one must be aware of osteoporosis. Good strong exercise helps prevent the bones losing their strength.
I love how succinct this is. It just went through the list without unnecessary blab which made it easy to listen to and absorb. Very good video. I hope you get better!
Hey! Just wanted to kindly tell you that this is not the whole true. She even said "t2d is not 100% gentic". She rightfully said that but if i have to put it in more words, genetics still play a role in the etiology of t2d. If you have a twin with t2d, the canses of you getting td2 is 50% higher (higher than the rest of the popolation). Also, 25% higher if you have a sibling with t2d. Scientists found mutant genes like TCF7-L2, KCNQ1 in people that have t2d. People that don't have t2d but have these mutant genes, have a higher risc of developing t2d (what is called a genetic susceptibility) but ofc, is not always the case because there are many many other factors that you can control. The ideea is that everyone should try to better their lifestyle habits but those with genetic susceptibility should be more willing to do it. PS: sorry for all the numerbs and the fancy genes name, i just didn't want tot tell "science facts" without backing them up. Thats why i like this canal, she shows as much date as she can in a 25 min video and for everyone understanding
@@iasm2470 I agree. Everyone on my mom's side of the family has/had diabetes. I know as far back as my great grandfather. He and all his 9 children had diabetes. My mom and both her siblings have diabetes. We are talking about generations who have lived through 2 world wars and communism in Eastern Europe. They didn't have access to a lot of food but it was real food, and none of them was overweight. I grew up eating healthy, always cooked meals and never changed that even after immigrating to Canada. I started being more conscious about my eating 18 years ago. I started a low carb diet and intermittent fasting in 2018. I never had any issues with my weight, I am 53 yo, exercising 3-4-5 days/week, walking every day for 30-60 minutes, not doing any excesses. Still, my HBA1c is at 5.7 for the last couple of years. My morning blood glucose is around 105, unless I fast for 36 hours. I think genetic plays a role, but I am trying (hard) to beat it.
it is genetic, it's the Randle Cycle which is a protective process entirely under the control of your genes. mixing carbs and fat will activate the Randle Cycle, blockading glucose from entering the cells of your body (to protect them from glycative damage and to protect the mitochondria from burnout) when this happens chronically, the glucose will pool in the blood (aka diabetes). solution: cut either carbs or fats from the diet. fats are essential for many processes of the body, carbs are not (as the body can produce its own carbs via gluconeogenesis); ergo, cut carbs.
You've done a pretty good job of organizing the information that Dr Jason Fung started preaching several years ago. I think your video would have been better if you had talked about mitochondria and dysfunctional mitochondria. You mention in this video that over time insulin doesn't work so well. In fact, insulin works the way it always has over time. The problem is that the mitochondria become dysfunctional over time when the person eats too much sugar, starch, and processed foods. Healthy mitochondria can easily switch back and forth between energy types: carbs and fats. Dysfunctional mitochondria pretty much just run on carbs. They have trouble switching back to using fat as a source of energy. Why? Because too much insulin is produced and will not let the mitochondria use fat as an energy source. The secret to healing dysfunctional mitochondria is to go on a low carb diet, do lots of fasting and Zone 2 bike rides for about 6 months. The body goes into a state of mytophagy and the damages mitochondria are discarded and new vibrant mitochondria are grown. After 6 months some resistance training should be implements in order to make the new mitochondria become more robust. At this time it is OK to add carbs back to your diet. However, don't eat carbs in sufficient quantity to spike blood sugar. If you do, then the whole problem will come back. You will damage your mitochondria again.
Wow thank you for the Info! So one would really have to stop all sugar & strach for 6 months before he can go back to eating it in little amounts. Didnt know this. I thought it’s enough to eat a salad before those foods. Can you give me your source for the 6 month thing? I‘d like to read more about it
@@selipark7396 Sure. I personally implemented what I learned from researching on the Internet. Sugar and processed foods are the problem just like cigarettes can be another problem. Your body cannot heal if you continue to tease it with the things that cause the problem. This is common sense. You should be able to see that.
Not only you are very smart and communicative, you are also the prettiest biochemist ever! 🙂And your advice makes sense for lots of people (not needed for me anymore, I am carnivore now, fixed my prediabetes easily and quickly a year ago). Thanks for your videos!
I've been trying some of your hacks today, I started today. I will notify my doctor as you suggested. I'm very excited about the positive information you have shared and I look forward to finding your books and learning from them as well. I'm 71 (just turned in August) and this is something I feel I can do! Thank you for all your hard work!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you so much Jessie for guiding and giving me a new hope on how to deal with my T2D. I've improved a lot by doing intermittent fasting together with your eating hacks which I found more effective and sustainable for me. I am so happy and relieved that my blood sugar readings are now within normal levels like a non-diabetic person. While following your eating hacks, the majority of my after-meals glucose spike is less than 30mg/dL@1.7mmol/L as per your recommendation. I will do my HB1AC next month to double-check my T2D condition.
Unfortunately she really doesn't understand insulin resistance. If you want to learn how to correct the condition that your body is in you need to look up Mastering Diabetes and read their book. They are ACTUAL biochemsists who are both T1 and can teach you the truth rather than the very amateur attempt by this girl.
@@richardjackson5380She’s a biochemist too, and a very accomplished woman (not just some silly influencer “girl” just because she’s good-looking and is on social media). 😂
I’ve been diabetic almost 30 years. A week ago I stoped eating carbs. Only a few days later my blood sugar and blood pressure is normal with out meds. I’ve lost 7 pounds but my focus is keeping my levels down. It’s amazing what the body can do.
That did not happen for me. I am still taking 25 units of insulin and wake up with blood sugar of around 320. I have been in deep ketosis to moderate for 8 days now. I am sad it is not coming down but going to stick to it and watch. I really to not want to be keto
Starches are sugar are not the only source of glucose/energy for your body. Protein converts into glucose without causing an insulin spike, it's a different pathomachanism. Understanding this is paramount for diabetics. Diabetic people need more fat and protein.
I add vinegar to every meal I eat that has carbs. I either make a salad dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Mrs Dash seasoning and eat it first. Or mix a tablespoon of vinegar and water 50/50 and down it like a shot whiskey, then follow it with more water. You don't want very acidic foods like vinegar to stay on your teeth for very long. It will weaken the enamel.
Thank you for waking me up and becoming aware of this problem. The condition has slowly creeped into my life and I can feel it taking over. With your insight, I will overcome it. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
I came here to say that you’ve helped me so much understanding what my grandmother is going through. I also bought both of your books and they are both amazing I love all the hard work you put into them. I thank you very much! Your amazing
Love your book!! You keep doing what you're doing because you have influence over our younger generation! I am 46 and have woke up to the shit we have at the grocer. My 23 year old daughter watched one video on UA-cam with me and now she follows you on Instagram and is using some of your hacks!!! Amazing
@vintageleaf4115 The one that I have is Glucose revolution, I believe. Teaching the reader about the role glucose plays on your body as a whole. She breaks it all down in layman terms. Also, has some of the hacks and recipes in there!!
Thanks for your good advice. I'm an 80-year-old male and have been keto and carnivore for quite a while, but I never put some of the obvious things together until I listened to you. It was just a mystery to me why I could take and drink 6 ounces of unsweetened Kiefer in the morning and it would drive my blood sugar up 100 points. Of course, it was on an empty stomach, but when I drank some at night, it hardly moved it at all, thanks so much for a lot of good information
Yes… just I changed my way of eating my weight started to reduce from 95.2, 93.9 and 92.8 respectively every week for last 3 weeks… Yes…. Jessie is a real Goddess…. This knowledge is revolutionary……
I really needed to see your video. I have liver problems, I'm on a C pap machine, overweight and my glucose is going in the wrong direction . I've never had a weight issue until I started menopause. After that all hell broke loose!! After watching this video I have a sense of an idea how to handle this. I can do it I want to live!!! Thank you so much I am now a subscriber.
I admire you for all you do for people. Your elegance and your style. You speak the truth. All doctors are very quickly to say your parents had it? Then you too will have it!!! Why does this have to be. You are proving them wrong. Thank you !! I have been watching you and appreciate everything you teach us. ITs a new perspective. My neuropathy in my feet has even improved, thank to you !!!
It's just that if it's genetic you have more tendency to have that given the bad habits it's not absolute that you will have it if your parents has, that's what I believe
I think it sometimes follows that we suffer like our parents in some ways because we tend to copy their ways, recipes, diets etc as it's familiar to us. It can take a while to see that it's not always the best way just because it's familiar.
Jessie- you are changing my life! Thank you so much! I love your personal story and how you overcame great hardship and injury to lead us all to better health! Your advice works!
Not only does this lady look wonderful, and has a nice voice but also she's fit and healthy 🙂 making this information much more believable. And it worked great for me too😁!
This video will eventually have millions of views. I've seen hundreds of videos on this topic, and this is certainly one of the best if not the best, Excellent!
I did it in 8. I walked 20,000 steps a day for two months. I walked the toenails of my feet. 8k at 5 am, 8k at 5 pm and the remainder throughout the work day. Park the car far away, take the stairs, walk to the furthest restroom, walk after eating lunch.
@@fluffers3793 please read the newest comment. It is reversible. dont discourage yourself and others. we need positive energy. lets make it happened.

@@fluffers3793Nurse here. Type 2 diabetes is absolutely reversible. Eliminate carbs from your diet, eat healthy, and exercise. You should see some results within the first 2 weeks. The longer you keep at it with consistency, the more (ongoing) positive results you'll see.#truth
I started these hacks at the beginning of August, 2024... It is now middle of October. I used veggies for breakfast, then different kinds of beans and peas...small amounts, after the veggies. I stayed away from sugar as much as possible. I also used chia, and flax seeds. Here is the list of vegetables I used... Cabbage Parsley Brussel sprouts Colliflower Carrots Broccoli Zucchini Celery Cucumber Avocados Olive oil Cinnamon I blended the celery and cucumber in a juicer. Also used various herbs... I put different herbs in a pan with water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the stove, and let the herbs cool. You may drink the herbs as a tea, or put a little in your food. What happened?... * I now have more energy * My bloated stomach, and fat around my waist melted away...without exercise. I keep looking in the mirror in amazement * My skin tone looks better * I feel healthier * My lungs are healthier * I can climb a lot more stairs now without being breathless The veggies are very filling, but I felt the need for a little carbs or something. So I used a slice or two of toasted light rye bread, with nice creamy butter or small piece of cheese. That took care of the craving. Big thanks to you. Sending Love. 🍵🍰
Jessie hats off to you you are doing an incredible job which is also noble, educating people to eat right food and in a right manner. My mom has diabetes and now I share all the knowledge with her which I get from your channel ❤❤❤ kudos to you
No one has explained what is Type 2 diabetes and how to reverse it, so effectively. I have sent this link to my friends and relatives for them to watch this Video. It is very informative and useful. God bless you in all your work.
Oh my goodness. I've had T2 Diabetes for years now and you are the first person to explain what Insulin resistance is! And in a way that's so easy to understand. And with understanding gives me the desire to directly fix the problem! Thank you! Before this it was just "Have T2= can't have chocolate". Thats an unwinnable dilemma. Now I feel able to correct a real problem not just a rule. 🙂 This video may have saved my life.
Im trying this starting today 05/24/2024. Wish me luck! Ill try to be consistent, i'll also introduce this to my mom as she has problems with her blood sugar.
I started keto a month and a half ago and while the weight isn't going down as fast as I'd like, it's going down. And I feel so so so much better, blood sugar wise and all. Wish you the same. Good luck! ❤
I developed very serious type 2 - A1C of 12.7 - went very low carb and 500 calories a day for 2 weeks and passed out while out shopping. Gradually my body adapted and now it's in remission. No meds. Your explanation is excellent and I hope it will encourage others to go down the diet/ non medical route - it's a little inconvenient, avoiding carbs but it's worth it. Thanks again for a superb video!
Possibly this is the reason I am feeling this weak. For 2 weeks now I cut back on carbs, salt ,sugar , oil and I feel so so weak. I changed immediately when I started seeing some diabetic symptoms on my body. Then immediately I started feeling weak when I changed my diet. In 1 week I lost 3kg. I am doing some walks too or running up and down my stairs in the house .
The reason why I am on a Keto(ish) diet. There is this thing that I call "noise". A constant craving for food that never stops. I had no idea it existed because I was used to it. Then I had Gastric sleeve surgery. That meant basically no food for quite awhile and just liquids. And then I noticed the noise was gone. You notice the absence of things. It was bliss. I was shocked. It was like when you enter a sound booth and its quiet. it hits you. And then one day the noise came back. Knowing that it is there made me try to figure out what caused this and after some trial and error I pinpointed carbs. When I have a (One) bagel, I am craving food for 24 hours. Does not stop. Not spiking my BG is the only way to keep the "noise" away and makes not overeating fairly easy. I have added 16/8 intermittent fasting to this. But just to give me a rule to stop eating anything after a time. It did not help loosing weight, it's just a mental fridge door that I am closing at 8pm.
Hi I’m 54 years old I was born with diabetes I started taking needles when I was 18 months old I take care of myself as best as I can I have had some health problems such as my eyes like bleeding in the back of my eyes. I always take care of yourself even though exercising lifting weights like I do always see a doctor or a diebetic nurse any you should have long healthy life
I was told I was type 2 diabetic 3 years ago 2021. I changed my diet walked for up to 30 mins after my dinner in the early evening. Lost 2 and a half stone . it took a year to get to prediabetic.
I Really appreciate your Kindness I was told that I supposed to go and get medication ASAP cause my A1C Was the highest as well my Blood Sugar,Let me tell you people, I didn't go to the DR. I went to get Nopalitos and started whit my green Nopalitos shake whit celery and cucumbers,My sugar down fromm 258 now 100,I have list 27 lbs since December to now from 171 to 144 ,I just totally changed my eating habits,I'm so proud to be a fighter like all you people here,I love me so much that now I'm in the process of Building up my Body ❤❤❤❤ yes eat healthy live healthy, Good Bye Dr.
@@MirmoyKikoy I wear glasses, but now I can read and write whit out them, not perfectly but it did got away better,I'm now 140 lbs. My blood sugar is reading 90, yay 😁 definitely changing eating habits changes me completely...
I combine the Glucose Goddess's hacks with a low carb diet and put my T2D into remission and kept it there for close to a year now. When I am going to eat a higher carb meal, I use the apple cider vinegar hack, and I eat my proteins, low carb veggies, and fats first. I also try as much as possible to do a short walk after a meal to use up some of that energy. It really helps to know how your body works.
I am from South Africa, and I was diagnosed a month ago. I took meds for a day, then I decided not to. Coming across this video made me want to change my lifestyle and gave me a better understanding. Thank you!
what a great video a wealth of information and beautifully put together. you deserve 10 million views! I had a blood glucose reading of 300-500. after changing my eating habits and start eating fish and vegetables and fruit as well as the vinegar hack you mentioned. my blood glucose has been 71-113 as of the last 3 weeks. with minimum exercise wow after 12 years this was all i had to do! hopefully, I can get off insulin entirely. I haven't taken it for 3 weeks or so now Thank you so much for the great information that will certainly save lives.
Thanks Jessi you are the best - great explanation 👏💕 I changed my breakfast to savory breakfast and to veggies start in every meal with some carbs sometimes and if sweets like a fruit it’s to end the meal with. It’s been a huge difference in every way. I’m now also changing the breakfast of my mothers who has diabetes 2. ♥️💕👏 milles merci pour tout ce que tu fais 🙏💫 you rock!
In my experience... people can change their "diet" for 10-12 weeks. They think "I got this", proceed to fall of the wagon, gain all the weight back with all the bad habits they never got rid of in the first place. I tell people to make "conscience" choices. Realize lots of bad eating habits are a result of CONVENIENCE not nutritional value. Eating something because it's easy is a extremely difficult habit to break. I'm on round 2 of trying to "do better". It's easier this time. I'm not trying to lose 40lbs in 10weeks. I'm changing habits for a healthier lifestyle. I don't let a "bad week" ruin my long term habits. Choose to do better. Do it long enough and the convenient foods actually don't taste that great anyway.
Been living with Type 2 diabetes since 2006. I’ve tried many diets like keto and carnivore, to no avail, and for the first time I feel like your advice actually makes sense!
I got type 1 when I was 2 years old, i'm now 44 years old. To my fellow type 2 peeps out there, get on top of your diet and lifestyle. Not only can you beat type 2, a healthy lifestyle and some simple changes can change your life like you couldn't begin to imagine. Do not come to the dark side with me its not fun. I didnt have a choice, you do!! Respect! 🥰👍😆😃😁👌💯🫡
after seeing Jessie in an interview i started adding the raw veggies to every evening meal, i changed my workouts to happen after lunch, and i have a protein-only breakfast late everyday. my HBA1C went from 6.8mmol to 5.8 mmol in less than 6 months. although, it was only after i started Berberine supplements did i start to lose weight. but if i understood insulin resistance 3 years ago i could have followed Jessie's tips and avoided the TD2 diagnosis. my doctors still don't understand these tips and what berberine did. they insisted i should be on a pharmaceutical for the rest of my life. even after my latest bloodwork, the old dude said it was a fluke. i changed doctors 😂
Thank you! I have type 2 diabetes. You are the first person who makes sense. I just got a monitor and I am struggling with spikes. I never read information about the meds prescribed, but I did and what i found was these meds damage the kidneys and liver and push you to dialysis - not good! I am going to apply this. Thank you - I want to live!
I became type 2 diabetic in 2021. I refused meds and said I would change my diet and that's what I did. I reversed it 4 months later. I lost a lot of weight quickly. I only eat food I make myself. At the beginning my body and brain were in a battle but I stuck rigid to it and eventually my body and brain clicked into sync. My body now looks amazing and I feel fantastic. The only treat I eat daily is a homemade flapjack and I make a batch of one week's worth. Weirdly my eyesight has improved, but here is the kicker. This is a lifelong dietary change, it's not something I can dip in and out of and it takes discipline. I don't crave sugar anymore, but I feel like a 25 year old in a body that now only looks like the body of a 25-30 year old in peak physical form and I'm 59. I keep a photo of myself on the fridge to remind myself how I used to look. It's a great motivator to keep on track. Exercise wise, I walk just 20 minutes a day at a fast enough pace to get my heart rate up. Now I do intermittent fasting and don't have breakfast until mid morning and don't eat after 8pm. All I can say is it's like I have shed the body of an old avatar and I am in a new fresh body full of energy. It's like I have been reborn.
When go low carb, fast etc your cataracts improve. True for me and many others.
Great story. Thanks for sharing, but please explain what a flapjack is? 😊
Something similar to a pancake. @@businesshubnamibia7244
Good job! Flapjack is delicious!
Good to know as I have two small cataracts growing and I'm type 2
I started a keto lifestyle 6 years ago , fast 16/8 everyday and walking 10k steps a day...i managed to put my type 2 diabetes in remission after 19 years diabetic...i lost 40kgs...i have also integrated your useful hacks and got better results !
I am also type 2 diabetic. for the last 3 months I have also been doing the keto thing and been very strict with myself. I now do not take ANY drugs for the diabetes and it is under controll simply through diet and exercise. I have been diabetic for 16 years, at one point approx 12 months ago my nurse said to me that I might have to start on the insulin jabs because it was so bad. If I can do this anyone can, it does not have to be that difficult.
Keto is very most unhealthy way that you can eat and will bring on all the standard diabetic complication of kidney disease, heart disease, vascular dementia, stroke. Cancer... If you want to correct the condition of your body and not have to hide from carbohydrates look up Mastering Diabetes and buy their book. You will be able to learn how to really reverse insulin resistant from human biochemists who actually DO understand diabetes and are T1 themselves.
good for you
I am diabetic in remisión. I do not eat carbs, but i am not agreed with you. The glucose is not that the body love simple it is available everyday because the glucose it is the normal food for people. The normal sourse of enegy it is the fat.

She explains it perfectly best on UA-cam she goes step by step slow she doesn't try to over talk too fast she's just right on I love this lady
She doesn't understand insulin resistance to be able to explain it.
😮???@@richardjackson5380
@@avwel3827... that guy is only a spammer and want's to disturb the community ... don't listen to this shit
@@richardjackson5380 Im just curious... what did she not get right or not understand about insulin resistance? I noticed she said insulin only comes into play during a glucose "spike" which I think is wrong... insulin is created no matter the level of glucose. Also, she said insulin wont "dispose" of extra glucose which is pretty weird thing to say. Nothing is being dispose of.
@@Jojo-o6o6w She claims that it is the amount of insulin in your body that causes insulin resistance (she compares it to how humans develop resistance to caffeine).
This isn't true.
Over exposure to insulin doesn't cause insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance occurs in any cell whenever that cell reaches it's maximum "energy" processing limit.
Insulin resistance is a safety system for cells that protects them against damage from being overexposed to glucose.
As the lady correctly pointed out, whenever there are toxic levels of glucose in the blood, insulin is released. The insulin then attempts to deal with the toxic levels of glucose by moving the glucose out of the blood and into various muscle and organ cells for processing.
Well, just like there is only so much glucose that the bloodstream can handle safely, individual cells also have a limit to how much glucose they can contain safely.
So, if insulin is trying to get a specific cell to take in more glucose than it can safely handle, that specific cell will lock out its insulin receptors and begin "resisting insulin."
So insulin is saying, "hey, I need to get rid of this excess glucose now."
But once a particular cell is at its glucose capacity, it starts to say, "I refuse to take any more of the glucose."
So it is not just that there is a lot of insulin randomly floating around in the blood.
The real issue is that cells have reached maximum glucose capacity and have locked out insulin because insulin wants to have them take in more glucose.
It's a matter of glucose capacity, not insulin exposure.
Hello from Sofia-Bulgaria! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! You have changed my life and it will not be an exaggeration if I even say that you saved my life! I have been insulin resistant for 47 years and have had type 2 diabetes for a year with complications of polyneuropathy and others! But, thanks to your book The Glucose Revolution, I was able to enter normal glucose limits and lost 20 kg! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Be healthy and very happy!❤❤❤❤
What happened with the polyneuropathie ?
i wanted to put this to the test. i woke up and had 123 on my blood glucose. i exercised, showered, had 3 scrambled eggs (with sliced tomato, jalapeño and onion) with avocado and a small corn tortilla. i waited 2 hours, took my blood sugar test again and it dropped to 90. i’m so shocked. i’ve never had it anywhere below 109. thank you so much.
Did you check your blood sugar with lab or at home,gluco meter is always 10 to 20 % reading plus or minus.
I have pacreatogenic diabetes type 3c. I don't know if this would help me as I had pancreatic cancer and necrotising pancreatitis.
As someone diagnosed with pcos at 14 (10 years ago) I have never had any doctor or even dietician explain insulin resistance so clearly and directly. Thank you
it can be explained in two words: Intramyocellular lipids. Don't have to listen to 25 minutes of UA-cam nonsense.
@@buckmurdock2500: I can only guess that you are joking. Speaking as a professional with 30 years of tech writing experience, to get to the point of understanding those two words requires either many hours of internet research or years of preliminary study.
No such thing as "Insulin Resistance". Made up term. What does exist is: (1) Not enough insulin is produced, (2) Eat more than body uses and not enough physical activity, (3) Iatrogenic induced higher glucose from medication. I've never seen an insulin injection not lower glucose levels. These modern buzz words "Glucose Spike" or "Insulin Spike" feed the industry with profits, and she sells books. Eating raises glucose and insulin takes glucose where it's need for ATP cellular energy, nothing bad about that. And nobody should mess with the process unless their numbers are very high. Ideal glucose numbers have been lowered so basically almost anybody can be called diabetic. Fasting glucose 140-180 were "normal" and only above 250 was considered possibly diabetic because above 250 keto acidosis was a concern. Pediatrics more recently lowered children's levels and now more kids can be labeled and treated. Originally kids with bedtime levels of 200 were "normal". Higher morning glucose levels "Dawn Phenomenon" is nature's evolutionary way of giving people energy in the morning because humans didn't eat 3 meals and in between snacks daily. The industry changed parameters and demonizing of natural processes created the situation, which is actually more of a mental thing.

Cut the carbs and you will reverse it.

There is no sugar diabetes. It's just diabetes.
I'm actually blown away. Even though my doctor gave me the alarm a while back and I have been digesting information for more than 3 years, this is by far the most easy to understand, well organized presentation that I have ever seen on this topic. Very well done!
This is the first time I have understood this situation.
This is terrifying to realize that it needs to be so simple and basic to explain and only then people start to understand. People know every single detail about their mobile phones, TV sets and cars and yet have no knowledge about how the body works. No wonder people believe what is told in the ads without any criticism. So sad. :-(

Here in the USA we need the FDA to be financed by the people not the food industry so they can get things like fructose, seed oil, and many other products out of our food ! 😡😡😡
Amen from Kentucky
Yea. From Ohio!
Agree! From Tennessee
100% from connecticut
Or go to Universal Healthcare so the FDA is directed by saving money to improve food regulations that would eliminate these toxins and improve health outcomes for all. We could also eliminate medical bankruptcy which is the number one cause of bankruptcy here in the US. We have the most unhealthy food of the industrialized nations. Driven by profits and lobbyists in the food, drug, and medical industries. Period.

My blood sugar spiked to 453. I decided at that time to lower my glucose levels, get off my diabetes and high blood pressure meds. I started to do my research and came across your videos. They have been very helpful not only in lowering my blood glucose levels but understanding how my body works. It was very important to me to understand why and what was happening. I’m beginning to feel so much better and look better. I am 75 years old.
That is just wonderful!!
I applaud you
It took it reaching 453 before you decided that?
Lucy u say u got off Blood Pressure medication.I was told by my Doctor I had to stay on them for life once on them!! I have T2 Diabetes also but I had Blood Pressure way before that.
@@julieingram1481 your Dr in misinformed, read the book “Lies my Dr told me” by Dr Ken Berry
after being diagnosed type 2 this lady alone has turn my health around completely.
Do you still eat sugar?
@@thelight9972no
@thelight9972 no I've stayed low carb . Feel so much better now and full of energy. Few weeks ago I had a carb heavy meal and didn't like how lethargic I felt after it. I couldn't go back to that way of eating now .
@johnbailey4618 that's amazing. Good for you
Decrease stress, exercise, more sleep, more fiber, avoid processed foods, intermittent fasting, check blood sugar regularly, and eat more diabetes superfoods. I loved this video as it puts everything in one place for the beginner. I've been following this advice with Keto for 3 years now and my only regret is that I did not start when I was younger. Everything has improved in this 72 year old body. Excellent A1c, Lipid profile, sable ideal weight. When my friends ask I am going to send them this video.
I almost never leave comments on videos, but I was genuinely blown away by this video.
I was diagnosed with insulin resistance and had an emotional breakdown over how scared, worried and overwhelmed I felt. This video helped destigmitize assumptions I have heard about insulin resistance, and the hacks helped me calm my nerves about making lifestyle changes and understanding everything will be okay.
Thank you, you truly are making a change.
I cried watching this. I felt like a small baby who needs to learn to walk anyhow. I used to watch your reels randomly and be ignorant. Basically, your content is so accurate that i don't want to know because that would imply, I am inviting diabetes in my life. Well, I did, and I see you as my guiding light. Nobody has explained insulin resistance like you. Subconsciously I feel depressed when I have to follow diet and watch what I eat but I will follow the hacks and all your suggestions too. Thank you and God blessings
I’ve had Type 2 for nearly 20 yrs
I’ve had countless Doctors explain how Insulin and Diabetes work and I could never understand them. She has just explained it perfectly and finally I understand 🤔😀
Yes, exactly. Why do some people get Type 2 and others do not?

@tigressnsnow prob what was in your vaccine as a kid or Root canal procedures This myth derives from unfounded claims that 97% of people who have terminal cancer had root canal surgery, suggesting a link between dental work and the development of cancer. maybe our parents used DDT or some other toxic products
@@tigressnsnow there are genetic factors as well , Asians especially Indians (were we had famine in previous generations)are more prone to type 2 diabetics even without being obese and at an earlier age .

Hi Everyone.
Im a 33year male from south africa. I do periodic medical tests every year and that includes diabetic tests... I've been doing this for 9years to date. For year 2024, I went through the tests in July 2024 and ddnt have any problem.
Im the last 3 weeks, started experiencing upnormal level of thirst, frequent urination, pain on my upper abdominal area, citing pain between liver and pancreas, blurred vision and dizziness there and there.
I decide to go and consult today. I took blood and urine tests, the tests revealed that im diabetic, the sugar level was at 29😢.
My journey begins 2day... I checked a lot of videos in the last 5hours and came across this family. I must say that you came across as the best teacher and helper, I'm inspired to follow you through out this journey... I'm hopping for the bead. I downloaded the 10 hacks on your description 😊.
Me and my husband just finished reading The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark. Would share it with everyone. Everything starts with health
Thanks for sharing that
I will check it out now
Already finised reading that book 3 weeks ago. Would definetly Recommend it as well
Thank you very much Ava
no, everything starts with support. many dont have any support, so they are destined to fail. and when you are alone, the world falls on your shoulders. depression is inevitable. dont sugar coat the reality of things (no pun intended). with diabetes, the problems compound significantly. get out of one rut, 20 other ruts jump in it's place. it is never ending.
I adore this woman, and I love how passionate she is when she speaks, so authentic - which is super rare in the world of youtube. I see big future for this young lady!
Yes she is lovely and helpful. But boy does she get stick from many medical people who are so stuck in there ways. It's almost like they want me to be on medication for the rest of my life😢
And because of this, you believe her - and you will believe every bit of bullshit she spouts.

It's almost like she is selling something. Oh wait... she is. None of her "hacks" are hacks.
Her LIES!!! You naive
Hello and thank you for sharing. My glucose level is 90 and they told me that I was prediabetic when I was at 85. They have already talked about putting me on insulin. I let them write the prescription snd won’t pick it up. I did exactly what you’re saying. I gave up fast foods, sugar and starches and I feel 100% better. I can get up at 4 o’clock in the morning and start my day. By the way, I don’t drink coffee, teas, fruit drinks or energy drinks. I only drink water. Again, thank you for sharing and God Bless you and Family. 🙏🏾❤️
Nobody is prediabetic with 85 fasting glucose. It is only past 100 measure when you are diagnosed. a1c has to be above 5.6% also to be diagnosed.
@@joseredcyou’re right
@@joseredcthat’s why I am suprised, I have fasting blood sugar or 85-90 every time I check and I went for general test and was told my A1C is 6.2 and said am pre diabetic, I have been checking my blood sugar over and over again since then and I have been having 85mg/dl, am just wondering if the lab made a mistake, I don’t do soda, sugar or sweet drinks🤷♀️🤷♀️
@joseredc BTW, the level for being pre-diabetic is up to 6.2. If you are over that number, then they consider you a diabetic. Normal a1c is 5.6.
@@Peace-tx7fc
Hello from Germany. I try to answer you in my non-perfect english 🙂
Your fasting blood sugar level stays in normal range also if you already startet to get insulin resistant. When you messure this blood sugar, you can see, that your body still can manage your blood sugar level, but you don't messure how much effort your body has to do to reach it.
the body needs more and more insulin to get the same result of blood sugar level ,because it gets slightly more and more resistant of insulin. Any day your body is not able anymore to keep the level unter 100, although you are full of insulin.
The hb A1c marker rises then. This show the average blood sugar over the last 3-4 month.
If this marker is above 5,7 you devloped an insulin resistance already and if you don't change anything, it's getting worst.
any time you have 6.2 and any day you are above 6.5, than it's Type 2 Diabetes.
Hope you understand, why your doctor sais "Prediabetes" even if your blood sugar is ( *still* ) around 85, when your A1c already is like 6.2. Thats way too high already.
15 years ago I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My doctor sent me to diabetes training and the person gave me a few simple guidelines. Don't eat useless carbs like white rice or any processed food. And if you have to have bread she gave me a phrase that stuck: "The whiter the bread, the sooner you're dead". My A1C went to normal in no time.
I wish I had this info. I had diabetes he didnt. He found out by stroke, blind, 😢😢😢😢
That’s a very memorable phrase.
@@mike330i right? Heard it once and it got stuck. Rarely had white bread since then. Only in Keto bread form plus Glucose testing after having it for the first time.
@@RavenWolfDrum69 so sorry. My father found out when he had an infection in his toe. It would not heal and they had to amputate the toe.
The a1c on my blood test is very high and I have yet to get it down to normal. What is wrong with me?
You are out here saving lives!! Thank you so much! Newly diagnosed diabetic here. I just started using your hacks and it’s good to know I’m on this journey with others, together.
I thought I was just chronically tired and I thought my low blood sugars were just anxiety attacks! Thank you for spreading awareness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Following GG hacks has changed my life. I was prediabetes I have now lost almost 20kg with these hacks and intermittent fasting. Added yoga and resistance training and now feel and look 20 years younger. Oh and now 135 days alcohol free. It started by taking the time to learn what Jess has to teach. And I looove her accent 🥰
Agreed. I do:
1) Intermittant fasting - This is the king of immediately dropping blood sugar. I usually only eat in a 5 hour window. Saves me money too!
2) Drastically reduce sugar and starches (sweet fruit juice included)
3) Walk at least 10 miles per week
4) Monitor your blood sugar, especially before and 1 hour after eating anything you suspect that is spiking your blood sugar. Amazingly, diet soda does not spike my blood sugar. However, it's bad on the body, so don't be like me and drink it. Lol.
.@@JohnBowl14690
If every school had teachers like you.. The world would be a different place to live in. ❤
As a teacher I can tell you that I somewhat agree with you, but you have to know that some kids just don't want to learn. It's a sad truth that surprised me a lot when I began teaching. I always thought that kids didn't learn because the teacher was "bad", etc. In some cases it's true but a lot of kids just don't have the motivation to learn anymore, even if you help them, explain, give them more time, try to make the course more fun, etc.
@@Sihame07 Very true! Just seems the internet and cell phones AND the games have made many kids LAZY!
Wow, I’ve been a diabetic for 6 years and I’ve never heard it explained this way. For the first time I completely understand what my body is going through because of how I’m feeding it. I’m going on a new journey from here on out. Thank you so much!!
In January my H1bc was 10.7. By intermittent fasting, 18 hours fasting, exercises, cardio, yoga and resistance training in six months ie. in July my h1bc is at 5.0 without any medication
Once you bring down HBA1C with such diet and lifestyle, do you still fast? How many times a week and duration of fast. Thanks in advance.
I and many others like me cannot have the starch & sugar filled foods because of addiction. I gave up sugar & high carb foods and finally after 20 years as a type 2 diabetic lost weight and had the A1c of a non diabetic. I’ve been sugar free 10 years now. I think this is a great idea for people without an addiction concern. ❤
Your method saved me. Your book was the first thing I found when I realized I can control my insulin resistance. I use most of your hacks with every meal. I feel so much better. This video is the absolute best description of insulin resistance!!! I’ve been searching for a year to find a way to completely understand why this is happening. Finally I found it. ❤❤❤
My dr. asked me to try this way of eating. I’ve lost several pounds in a month and feel good, more energy and clarity. It’s so easy to follow. This isn’t a diet. The hacks are a gentle, satisfying way of life. I’m actually looking forward to my next set of labs with hope. Thank you so much!
This is the best definition and explanation of diabetes I’ve ever heard everything else confuses me, but this made perfect sense
Wow, this was so educational you actually broke it down to where anyone could understand it. As many videos I’ve watched about diabetes and insulin resistance this is the GOAT!!! Thank so much for sharing this❤
My glucose levels have dropped significantly and my diabetic medication reduced. I’ve lost weight and I feel great. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Absolutely brilliant. I have as yet not seen anyone explain insulin resistance better than you do and making understanding this rather complex matter easier. Thank you again for the great work you are doing and keep it up.
No such thing as "Insulin Resistance". Made up term. What does exist is: (1) Not enough insulin is produced, (2) Eat more than body uses and not enough physical activity, (3) Iatrogenic induced higher glucose from medication. I've never seen an insulin injection not lower glucose levels. These modern buzz words "Glucose Spike" or "Insulin Spike" feed the industry with profits, and she sells books. Eating raises glucose and insulin takes glucose where it's need for ATP cellular energy, nothing bad about that. And nobody should mess with the process unless their numbers are very high. Ideal glucose numbers have been lowered so basically almost anybody can be called diabetic. Fasting glucose 140-180 were "normal" and only above 250 was considered possibly diabetic because above 250 keto acidosis was a concern. Numbers close to hypoglycemia is not normal. Pediatrics more recently lowered children's levels and now more kids can be labeled and treated. Originally kids with bedtime levels of 200 were "normal". Higher morning glucose levels "Dawn Phenomenon" is nature's evolutionary way of giving people energy in the morning because humans didn't eat 3 meals and in between snacks daily. The industry changed parameters and demonizing of natural processes created the situation, which is actually more of a mental thing.
Every doctor in the USA should recommend your site for viewing! All they say here is walk more cut back on carbs, calories in calories out sounds simple right it is not that simple. These videos explain what dozens of books say but in a simple easy way to understand how the body works! Thank you!
Hi from Singapore. Thanks for refreshing presentation on managing diabetes. I have T2D for more than 24 years. I read Glucose Revolution and started incorporating the practices in my eating habits. My Hb1Ac lowered within a month. Will retest next month. Best illustration in this video is the accurate presentation of the amount of sugar in the blood stream - one 5g sugar cube.
You should re-test every 3 months and not monthly. Do the research
A1c is an average of 3 months because the blood cells are regenerated on average , 100 days give or take hence 3 months for any change in A1C.
@@jeanrobertplante You are correct, but maybe she is an exception. Some people have high red blood cell turnover so it can drastically change in a month. Others have slow red blood cell turnover and it can take longer than 3 months to notice the changes.
You're just a genius my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 6 months ago and with our Asian Lifestyle it was becoming increasingly difficult he has lost about 10kgs since now after watching your video which you've explained excellently I have some hope now I'm also classified as a pre diabetic since 2016 I turned 69 this and would also love reverse it for both of us Thanks a million for your great tips

She said that it was genetic. Which honestly has made me feel kinda hopeless. Ive been trying to understand whats going on in my body and trying to understand what to do about it. Thank you for your video its given me hope and is helping me better understand what this information means! Im so grateful ❤

Were you tested on the possibility of having MODY?
I fit into your description and my endo does not believe I have type 2 and will run every other test until it is proven otherwise 😅
Type 1/LADA first, MODY second and Type 2 is the last option if all else fails
At 33, you are OLD for a woman. You are infertile and too OLD to have children - forget high quality children altogether.
I’m in the same boat! I’m relatively conservative in my carb and sugar intake. I don’t like to overeat, and if anything, I’m considered borderline underweight. And yet, at age 41, I’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic!! After observing the rest of my lifestyle, I see that lack of adequate sleep, lack of exercise, and poor stress management are the likely culprits. (Turns out cortisol and lack of sleep can totally increase insulin resistance and wreak havoc on your hormone balance, which also can contribute to insulin resistance!)
These 4 hacks in this video, along with better sleep and exercise, give me hope that I can make small changes to reverse this in time!

You changed my life GG. I incorporate these hacks and my kids 4 and 1 eat like this too. I’m not hungry literally ever hour anymore. I’m no longer a carb slave and lost all the weight I needed to look athletic now. I never understood why I was 10 lbs overweight despite daily gym. It was all the fruit and oatmeal I was eating.
I love Greek salads with Peperchino’s (they have vinegar in them) with crunchy iceberg lettuce, a little romaine and grated aged cheese on top. So delicious 😋 I have this as a veggie starter most days.
Hi! We have kids similar age. Still 3 and 1 here. U included yoghurt and vinegar? I realised vinegar gives me hot flashes...I am not sure if is the reason, but when I don't have apple vinegar I don't have them...what other changes did u make. I have to lose many kg....
The iceberg doesnt really have much to offer nutritionally, but it cant hurt I guess. I try to go full romaine and spinach. If I could get a good source for arugula, I would be going with that.
A couple other channels worth looking at would be Eric Berg and "motivational doc" (forgot his name).

I've recently been told I've have diabetes and I've been really stressed over what food I can and can't have. Your Food Classification Master list has been a HUGE help. Thank you so much!
Always do your own testing on your meals 1.5 hours after the meal to see if your getting diet right. Under 160 on your glucose meter is good. I usually can keep my after meal blood sugar spikes below 125.

My diabetes is in full remission! I changed my diet on January 8th 2024. Since then I no longer need insulin shots and I lost 65 pounds and I am not diabetic anymore! Carnivore diet is the best.
Oh dear. You need to be aware that carnivore will bring on all the standard diabetic complications of kidney disease, heart disease, vascular dementia, stroke, cancer.... The longest lived most healthy populations on the planet eat next to no meat, eggs, fish or dairy.

I lost 30 lbs in about 4 months on carnivore/Ketovore, so it's possible.
I love your explanations! I bought a cgm, at my Drs urging, because my fasting glucose labs was 104. I am gluten free so I don’t eat any grains, I eat clean, restrict sugar and fast for 17/18 hours every day. The Dr instructed that I experiment and do my best to find foods that do not make my glucose jump past 100. I have discovered, in just 2 days, that just about everything I put in my mouth makes my glucose spike over 100 and it stays over 100 for the rest of my eating window. At night it levels out to about 94 and stays there all night, until I take a bite of food. The highest jump was to 118 when I had potato soup. (I knew that was risky.) How does one find foods to eat that won’t increase glucose.? This seems like an impossible task!
Go carnivore for a week as a test
eat healthy fat! fat causes the least amount of glucose spike. Look up Dr. Boz on here. she has a 5 minute video that explains it

Hi GG! a big fan here from the Philippines! just last Dec. 2023, I was diagnosed as a diabetic at the age of 22. With a whooping number of 195 Fasting Blood Sugar and 8.52 HBA1C. I haven't got my period too for almost 6 months! I ran into your videos with Marie Forleo and it changed my life! Just went back to the doctor last March 19 and my Fasting Blood Sugar plays at 100-120 and my HBA1C is 6.30. The results are still high but I am very happy that it already went low in just 3 months. I am a bit strict in my food intake tho, I only consume 100g of rice in lunch and I also give myself a treat of dark chocolate sometimes... I am also very active, I go to the gym, play badminton, run and even dance. I didn't expect that my life now would be this exciting and amazing! I also got my period back! I've been appreciating every little thing that I do (you see, no brain fog! hahaha) I love you and the hacks! May you continue to inspire more people. Hope you could have a conference here in the Philippines soon! I LOVE YOU!
Stop that rice! At least for 12 weeks. Then eat it last, after your fat and protein. Try to take Berberine before your meal with rice. See if that helps you out. That's part of GG protocol too.... good luck!

@@vaska1999 yesss!!! I don't eat rice that often tho 😅 only when our protein requires rice (asian food like adobo 😆)
@@HeyKeithyyyyhaha I relate to this. As an Asian, certain foods need rice. Here is the thing though. Almost everyone eats rice in Asian countries. But not everyone is diabetic. I’m Japanese and first thing we put in our mouth at meal is rice. Not a lot. But just with chopstick. Then we have vegetables, protein, often we eat them with rice together, not one by one. So I wonder why not majority of people in Japan has diabetes. Is it because of amount that they eat? ( their portion is very small) amount of vegetables? Because they tend to walk in their everyday life?
that 10 minute walk after the meal is probably the biggest help.
Diet, walk, fast and prayer- fast large quantities of carbs. ❤
#0 min walk after meal was habit in Yugoslavia but afterwards 45 min nap :)
Yep, I started my journey with 600, went to urgency to lower it to 350. I started by using meds and trying to not eat any sugar, flour, tortillas and I kept my glucose in that range.
Later on I watched videos promoting walks after each meal and it did help but I had to walk 30 to 60 minutes because I ate too much.
After I reverted my diet to a more healthy one and started running in the mornings I stabilized my glucose to normal levels without meds. Even now I haven't exercised but it's quite rare to go off the charts whenever I eat something even with added sugar. And this was from may 1st to now, so it's doable to recover from being diabetic.
My Endocrine specialist in Europe told me to walk fast for 30 mins, after a meal...but to WAIT for 20 mins first, until the food began digesting., then walk fast! And she also said to do resistance "training". I asked her if mowing my huge 2,000 m square paddock, would qualify, as I have the drag the mower back and forth around trees etc. She thought for a while and said OK, but try and do other resistence exercises too, because being female and in my 80's, one must be aware of osteoporosis. Good strong exercise helps prevent the bones losing their strength.
It will trigger heartburn
This explanation is probably the best I've ever heard. You are so articulate and seemingly walk us through the process. Thank you
I love how succinct this is. It just went through the list without unnecessary blab which made it easy to listen to and absorb. Very good video. I hope you get better!
Thank you for dispelling myths like "diabetes is genetic" BRAVO!!
Hey! Just wanted to kindly tell you that this is not the whole true. She even said "t2d is not 100% gentic". She rightfully said that but if i have to put it in more words, genetics still play a role in the etiology of t2d. If you have a twin with t2d, the canses of you getting td2 is 50% higher (higher than the rest of the popolation). Also, 25% higher if you have a sibling with t2d. Scientists found mutant genes like TCF7-L2, KCNQ1 in people that have t2d. People that don't have t2d but have these mutant genes, have a higher risc of developing t2d (what is called a genetic susceptibility) but ofc, is not always the case because there are many many other factors that you can control. The ideea is that everyone should try to better their lifestyle habits but those with genetic susceptibility should be more willing to do it.
PS: sorry for all the numerbs and the fancy genes name, i just didn't want tot tell "science facts" without backing them up. Thats why i like this canal, she shows as much date as she can in a 25 min video and for everyone understanding
genetics can make you more susceptible.
If so why does my doctor ask is it runs in the family which it does in my case
@@iasm2470 I agree. Everyone on my mom's side of the family has/had diabetes. I know as far back as my great grandfather. He and all his 9 children had diabetes. My mom and both her siblings have diabetes. We are talking about generations who have lived through 2 world wars and communism in Eastern Europe. They didn't have access to a lot of food but it was real food, and none of them was overweight. I grew up eating healthy, always cooked meals and never changed that even after immigrating to Canada. I started being more conscious about my eating 18 years ago. I started a low carb diet and intermittent fasting in 2018. I never had any issues with my weight, I am 53 yo, exercising 3-4-5 days/week, walking every day for 30-60 minutes, not doing any excesses. Still, my HBA1c is at 5.7 for the last couple of years. My morning blood glucose is around 105, unless I fast for 36 hours. I think genetic plays a role, but I am trying (hard) to beat it.
it is genetic, it's the Randle Cycle which is a protective process entirely under the control of your genes. mixing carbs and fat will activate the Randle Cycle, blockading glucose from entering the cells of your body (to protect them from glycative damage and to protect the mitochondria from burnout)
when this happens chronically, the glucose will pool in the blood (aka diabetes). solution: cut either carbs or fats from the diet. fats are essential for many processes of the body, carbs are not (as the body can produce its own carbs via gluconeogenesis); ergo, cut carbs.
You've done a pretty good job of organizing the information that Dr Jason Fung started preaching several years ago. I think your video would have been better if you had talked about mitochondria and dysfunctional mitochondria. You mention in this video that over time insulin doesn't work so well. In fact, insulin works the way it always has over time. The problem is that the mitochondria become dysfunctional over time when the person eats too much sugar, starch, and processed foods. Healthy mitochondria can easily switch back and forth between energy types: carbs and fats. Dysfunctional mitochondria pretty much just run on carbs. They have trouble switching back to using fat as a source of energy. Why? Because too much insulin is produced and will not let the mitochondria use fat as an energy source.
The secret to healing dysfunctional mitochondria is to go on a low carb diet, do lots of fasting and Zone 2 bike rides for about 6 months. The body goes into a state of mytophagy and the damages mitochondria are discarded and new vibrant mitochondria are grown. After 6 months some resistance training should be implements in order to make the new mitochondria become more robust. At this time it is OK to add carbs back to your diet. However, don't eat carbs in sufficient quantity to spike blood sugar. If you do, then the whole problem will come back. You will damage your mitochondria again.
An excellent addition to the talk
Wow thank you for the Info! So one would really have to stop all sugar & strach for 6 months before he can go back to eating it in little amounts. Didnt know this. I thought it’s enough to eat a salad before those foods. Can you give me your source for the 6 month thing? I‘d like to read more about it
@@selipark7396 Sure. I personally implemented what I learned from researching on the Internet. Sugar and processed foods are the problem just like cigarettes can be another problem. Your body cannot heal if you continue to tease it with the things that cause the problem. This is common sense. You should be able to see that.
Not only you are very smart and communicative, you are also the prettiest biochemist ever! 🙂And your advice makes sense for lots of people (not needed for me anymore, I am carnivore now, fixed my prediabetes easily and quickly a year ago). Thanks for your videos!
Thanks goddess.. perfectly explained and loved the way explains
Carnivore.... U mean u only eat meat
@@helenaarmendez2842 Exactly. And I am healthier than ever and never felt better. Don't miss carbs at all.
Thanx.. Ma'am for inspiring words
I've been trying some of your hacks today, I started today. I will notify my doctor as you suggested. I'm very excited about the positive information you have shared and I look forward to finding your books and learning from them as well. I'm 71 (just turned in August) and this is something I feel I can do! Thank you for all your hard work!

How is it going? 🤗
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you so much Jessie for guiding and giving me a new hope on how to deal with my T2D. I've improved a lot by doing intermittent fasting together with your eating hacks which I found more effective and sustainable for me. I am so happy and relieved that my blood sugar readings are now within normal levels like a non-diabetic person. While following your eating hacks, the majority of my after-meals glucose spike is less than 30mg/dL@1.7mmol/L as per your recommendation. I will do my HB1AC next month to double-check my T2D condition.
Unfortunately she really doesn't understand insulin resistance. If you want to learn how to correct the condition that your body is in you need to look up Mastering Diabetes and read their book. They are ACTUAL biochemsists who are both T1 and can teach you the truth rather than the very amateur attempt by this girl.
Cyrus and Robbie from mastering diabetes can’t even control their own a1c why would anyone want to listen to them.
Richard are you stupid. The original poster is t2d. This whole video is for t2d. @@richardjackson5380
@@richardjackson5380She’s a biochemist too, and a very accomplished woman (not just some silly influencer “girl” just because she’s good-looking and is on social media). 😂
I’ve been diabetic almost 30 years. A week ago I stoped eating carbs. Only a few days later my blood sugar and blood pressure is normal with out meds. I’ve lost 7 pounds but my focus is keeping my levels down. It’s amazing what the body can do.
That did not happen for me. I am still taking 25 units of insulin and wake up with blood sugar of around 320. I have been in deep ketosis to moderate for 8 days now. I am sad it is not coming down but going to stick to it and watch. I really to not want to be keto
@@conni222 excersize more. Walk every time you eat. Muscle metabolism is the other side of the diabetes equation.
Please eat almonds , broccolli , cucumber , plus do online exercise for walking at home. Its 30 mins...u wont go wrong@conni222
Starches are sugar are not the only source of glucose/energy for your body. Protein converts into glucose without causing an insulin spike, it's a different pathomachanism. Understanding this is paramount for diabetics. Diabetic people need more fat and protein.
I add vinegar to every meal I eat that has carbs. I either make a salad dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Mrs Dash seasoning and eat it first. Or mix a tablespoon of vinegar and water 50/50 and down it like a shot whiskey, then follow it with more water. You don't want very acidic foods like vinegar to stay on your teeth for very long. It will weaken the enamel.
Thank you for waking me up and becoming aware of this problem. The condition has slowly creeped into my life and I can feel it taking over. With your insight, I will overcome it. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
I just bought your book, Glucose Goddess method, and I love it. This is my favorite recipe book! So happy!❤❤❤
I came here to say that you’ve helped me so much understanding what my grandmother is going through. I also bought both of your books and they are both amazing I love all the hard work you put into them. I thank you very much! Your amazing
Love your book!! You keep doing what you're doing because you have influence over our younger generation! I am 46 and have woke up to the shit we have at the grocer. My 23 year old daughter watched one video on UA-cam with me and now she follows you on Instagram and is using some of your hacks!!! Amazing
You have 23 year old daughter??
@@ravireddyism Yep! Sure do!
Which one if the books do you love?
@vintageleaf4115 The one that I have is Glucose revolution, I believe. Teaching the reader about the role glucose plays on your body as a whole. She breaks it all down in layman terms. Also, has some of the hacks and recipes in there!!
Thanks for your good advice. I'm an 80-year-old male and have been keto and carnivore for quite a while, but I never put some of the obvious things together until I listened to you. It was just a mystery to me why I could take and drink 6 ounces of unsweetened Kiefer in the morning and it would drive my blood sugar up 100 points. Of course, it was on an empty stomach, but when I drank some at night, it hardly moved it at all, thanks so much for a lot of good information
You mentioned sea salt. Because of the plastics in sea salt, I now use Himalayan Pink Salt. You're doing a great job and are very easy to listen to.
Yes… just I changed my way of eating my weight started to reduce from 95.2, 93.9 and 92.8 respectively every week for last 3 weeks… Yes…. Jessie is a real Goddess…. This knowledge is revolutionary……
I really needed to see your video. I have liver problems, I'm on a C pap machine, overweight and my glucose is going in the wrong direction . I've never had a weight issue until I started menopause. After that all hell broke loose!! After watching this video I have a sense of an idea how to handle this. I can do it I want to live!!! Thank you so much I am now a subscriber.
I admire you for all you do for people. Your elegance and your style. You speak the truth. All doctors are very quickly to say your parents had it? Then you too will have it!!! Why does this have to be. You are proving them wrong. Thank you !! I have been watching you and appreciate everything you teach us. ITs a new perspective. My neuropathy in my feet has even improved, thank to you !!!
It's just that if it's genetic you have more tendency to have that given the bad habits it's not absolute that you will have it if your parents has, that's what I believe
I think it sometimes follows that we suffer like our parents in some ways because we tend to copy their ways, recipes, diets etc as it's familiar to us. It can take a while to see that it's not always the best way just because it's familiar.
Jessie- you are changing my life! Thank you so much! I love your personal story and how you overcame great hardship and injury to lead us all to better health! Your advice works!
Not only does this lady look wonderful, and has a nice voice but also she's fit and healthy 🙂 making this information much more believable. And it worked great for me too😁!
This video will eventually have millions of views. I've seen hundreds of videos on this topic, and this is certainly one of the best if not the best, Excellent!
I did it in 8. I walked 20,000 steps a day for two months. I walked the toenails of my feet. 8k at 5 am, 8k at 5 pm and the remainder throughout the work day. Park the car far away, take the stairs, walk to the furthest restroom, walk after eating lunch.
And this reversed your diabetes ???😮😮🙏🏽
@@thabstar2040if its type 2 i dont think its reversable, onky works for pre diabetic
@@fluffers3793 please read the newest comment. It is reversible. dont discourage yourself and others. we need positive energy. lets make it happened. Our families need us not to die stupidly because of what we wrongly and willingly put in our mouths and stomachs for years. It is time to take our health back with force if necessary. type 2 diabetes, YES IT IS REVERSIBLE & it starts by BELIEVING IN IT.
What if you cant walk? Huh?
@@fluffers3793Nurse here. Type 2 diabetes is absolutely reversible. Eliminate carbs from your diet, eat healthy, and exercise. You should see some results within the first 2 weeks. The longer you keep at it with consistency, the more (ongoing) positive results you'll see.#truth
I started these hacks at the beginning of August, 2024... It is now middle of October. I used veggies for breakfast, then different kinds of beans and peas...small amounts, after the veggies. I stayed away from sugar as much as possible. I also used chia, and flax seeds.
Here is the list of vegetables I used...
Cabbage
Parsley
Brussel sprouts
Colliflower
Carrots
Broccoli
Zucchini
Celery
Cucumber
Avocados
Olive oil
Cinnamon
I blended the celery and cucumber in a juicer.
Also used various herbs...
I put different herbs in a pan with water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the stove,
and let the herbs cool. You may drink the herbs as a tea, or put a little in your food.
What happened?...
* I now have more energy
* My bloated stomach, and fat around my waist melted away...without exercise.
I keep looking in the mirror in amazement
* My skin tone looks better
* I feel healthier
* My lungs are healthier
* I can climb a lot more stairs now without being breathless
The veggies are very filling, but I felt the need for a little carbs or something. So I used
a slice or two of toasted light rye bread, with nice creamy butter or small piece of cheese. That took care of the craving.
Big thanks to you. Sending Love. 🍵🍰
Jessie hats off to you you are doing an incredible job which is also noble, educating people to eat right food and in a right manner. My mom has diabetes and now I share all the knowledge with her which I get from your channel ❤❤❤ kudos to you
She doesn't know enough to educate anyone. Read Mastering Diabetes
Love your soft spoken, energetic style. Love the bright colors on the white minimalist background.
No one has explained what is Type 2 diabetes and how to reverse it, so effectively. I have sent this link to my friends and relatives for them to watch this Video. It is very informative and useful. God bless you in all your work.
I think this is considered keep it at bay not reversed right ?
Oh my goodness. I've had T2 Diabetes for years now and you are the first person to explain what Insulin resistance is! And in a way that's so easy to understand. And with understanding gives me the desire to directly fix the problem! Thank you! Before this it was just "Have T2= can't have chocolate". Thats an unwinnable dilemma. Now I feel able to correct a real problem not just a rule. 🙂 This video may have saved my life.
Im trying this starting today 05/24/2024. Wish me luck! Ill try to be consistent, i'll also introduce this to my mom as she has problems with her blood sugar.
I started keto a month and a half ago and while the weight isn't going down as fast as I'd like, it's going down. And I feel so so so much better, blood sugar wise and all. Wish you the same. Good luck! ❤
Good luck
I'm starting as well. 5-29-2024 I hope you and your mom are successful 😊
@@angelav9838guys can you all advuce on what vinegar you allare taking? And also her glucose sipke blocker doesnt deliver to my country🥲
I'm starting now 6-3-24
I developed very serious type 2 - A1C of 12.7 - went very low carb and 500 calories a day for 2 weeks and passed out while out shopping. Gradually my body adapted and now it's in remission. No meds. Your explanation is excellent and I hope it will encourage others to go down the diet/ non medical route - it's a little inconvenient, avoiding carbs but it's worth it. Thanks again for a superb video!
Possibly this is the reason I am feeling this weak. For 2 weeks now I cut back on carbs, salt ,sugar , oil and I feel so so weak. I changed immediately when I started seeing some diabetic symptoms on my body. Then immediately I started feeling weak when I changed my diet. In 1 week I lost 3kg. I am doing some walks too or running up and down my stairs in the house .
The reason why I am on a Keto(ish) diet. There is this thing that I call "noise". A constant craving for food that never stops. I had no idea it existed because I was used to it. Then I had Gastric sleeve surgery. That meant basically no food for quite awhile and just liquids. And then I noticed the noise was gone. You notice the absence of things. It was bliss. I was shocked. It was like when you enter a sound booth and its quiet. it hits you. And then one day the noise came back. Knowing that it is there made me try to figure out what caused this and after some trial and error I pinpointed carbs. When I have a (One) bagel, I am craving food for 24 hours. Does not stop. Not spiking my BG is the only way to keep the "noise" away and makes not overeating fairly easy. I have added 16/8 intermittent fasting to this. But just to give me a rule to stop eating anything after a time. It did not help loosing weight, it's just a mental fridge door that I am closing at 8pm.
Thank you
Hi I’m 54 years old I was born with diabetes I started taking needles when I was 18 months old I take care of myself as best as I can I have had some health problems such as my eyes like bleeding in the back of my eyes. I always take care of yourself even though exercising lifting weights like I do always see a doctor or a diebetic nurse any you should have long healthy life
I reversed my diabetes through exercise, resistance training one day, followed by yoga. One day off a week.
No dietary changes?
There is no cure for diabetes, you can never reverse it, you can only change your way of living and eating and control your diabetes.
You have to maintain it or it is completley gone now?
did you change how you eat?? tho thats the big question
I seriously can’t express how grateful I am for you. You are a goddess!!!
You simply have changed my life.
Love from Latvia, Aleksandra 🔥🥗💪🤗
I was told I was type 2 diabetic 3 years ago 2021. I changed my diet walked for up to 30 mins after my dinner in the early evening. Lost 2 and a half stone . it took a year to get to prediabetic.
Hi, took tips of expert & during month of Ramadan applied.
Was struggling with type 2 diabetes.
Brought is down from 17-27 to 6-10. AlhumdulilAllah ❤
When you state “down from 17-27”, what does 17-21 represent?
I hope you can find a better life than Muslim. So evil.
I Really appreciate your Kindness
I was told that I supposed to go and get medication ASAP cause my A1C Was the highest as well my Blood Sugar,Let me tell you people, I didn't go to the DR. I went to get Nopalitos and started whit my green Nopalitos shake whit celery and cucumbers,My sugar down fromm 258 now 100,I have list 27 lbs since December to now from 171 to 144 ,I just totally changed my eating habits,I'm so proud to be a fighter like all you people here,I love me so much that now I'm in the process of Building up my Body ❤❤❤❤ yes eat healthy live healthy, Good Bye Dr.
So we dont need doctor we need exercise?

@@MirmoyKikoy I wear glasses, but now I can read and write whit out them, not perfectly but it did got away better,I'm now 140 lbs. My blood sugar is reading 90, yay 😁 definitely changing eating habits changes me completely...
@@GuillerminaBeltran-z7w good for you bro god is good, what exercises you do?
Bro on that sugar level on yours do you experience numbness of your legs? Hands or feet?
I combine the Glucose Goddess's hacks with a low carb diet and put my T2D into remission and kept it there for close to a year now. When I am going to eat a higher carb meal, I use the apple cider vinegar hack, and I eat my proteins, low carb veggies, and fats first. I also try as much as possible to do a short walk after a meal to use up some of that energy. It really helps to know how your body works.
I am from South Africa, and I was diagnosed a month ago. I took meds for a day, then I decided not to. Coming across this video made me want to change my lifestyle and gave me a better understanding. Thank you!
what a great video a wealth of information and beautifully put together. you deserve 10 million views! I had a blood glucose reading of 300-500. after changing my eating habits and start eating fish and vegetables and fruit as well as the vinegar hack you mentioned. my blood glucose has been 71-113 as of the last 3 weeks. with minimum exercise wow after 12 years this was all i had to do! hopefully, I can get off insulin entirely. I haven't taken it for 3 weeks or so now Thank you so much for the great information that will certainly save lives.
Wow, that's wonderful!
Hi :) do you have an updadte? I‘d like to know if You’re completely off of insulin & if you can eat sweets from time to time?
Thanks Jessi you are the best - great explanation 👏💕 I changed my breakfast to savory breakfast and to veggies start in every meal with some carbs sometimes and if sweets like a fruit it’s to end the meal with. It’s been a huge difference in every way. I’m now also changing the breakfast of my mothers who has diabetes 2. ♥️💕👏 milles merci pour tout ce que tu fais 🙏💫 you rock!
In my experience... people can change their "diet" for 10-12 weeks. They think "I got this", proceed to fall of the wagon, gain all the weight back with all the bad habits they never got rid of in the first place. I tell people to make "conscience" choices. Realize lots of bad eating habits are a result of CONVENIENCE not nutritional value. Eating something because it's easy is a extremely difficult habit to break. I'm on round 2 of trying to "do better". It's easier this time. I'm not trying to lose 40lbs in 10weeks. I'm changing habits for a healthier lifestyle. I don't let a "bad week" ruin my long term habits. Choose to do better. Do it long enough and the convenient foods actually don't taste that great anyway.
Been living with Type 2 diabetes since 2006. I’ve tried many diets like keto and carnivore, to no avail, and for the first time I feel like your advice actually makes sense!
I got type 1 when I was 2 years old, i'm now 44 years old. To my fellow type 2 peeps out there, get on top of your diet and lifestyle. Not only can you beat type 2, a healthy lifestyle and some simple changes can change your life like you couldn't begin to imagine. Do not come to the dark side with me its not fun. I didnt have a choice, you do!! Respect! 🥰👍😆😃😁👌💯🫡
Did you hear the Chinese found a cure for diabetes including type 1.. Pretty soon you can be cured too.
Thank you,wishing you all the best.
Godblesss you man keep positive
Hearts and blessings to you... Type 1 seems so unfair.
You are so nice! Wishing you a trouble free life ahead.❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely excellent explanation on insulin resistance. Give you an A+ ! Congrats!
after seeing Jessie in an interview i started adding the raw veggies to every evening meal, i changed my workouts to happen after lunch, and i have a protein-only breakfast late everyday. my HBA1C went from 6.8mmol to 5.8 mmol in less than 6 months.
although, it was only after i started Berberine supplements did i start to lose weight.
but if i understood insulin resistance 3 years ago i could have followed Jessie's tips and avoided the TD2 diagnosis.
my doctors still don't understand these tips and what berberine did. they insisted i should be on a pharmaceutical for the rest of my life. even after my latest bloodwork, the old dude said it was a fluke. i changed doctors 😂
Which brand of berberine are you using?
Thank you! I have type 2 diabetes. You are the first person who makes sense. I just got a monitor and I am struggling with spikes. I never read information about the meds prescribed, but I did and what i found was these meds damage the kidneys and liver and push you to dialysis - not good! I am going to apply this. Thank you - I want to live!
