as an Asian, we eat rice morning noon and night. But I lost the cravings of rice and carbs when i followed low carb diet. the cravings and hunger were gone! truly! I lost weight and my blood sugar readings are normal now. I ate beef, eggs, green vegetables, nuts and sardines on a daily basis. I keep it simple. sometimes i eat berries 1/2 cup a day. a bit of cheese. my arthritis on my fingers went away too and of course my belly flattened and I do not even exercise.
totally agree with you about eating rice morning, noon and night:) I am from Sri Lanka originally from India! Mine is a similar experience to yours though I am not too much into veggies, after I began living in the US. It was different back home when we had fresh veggies grown in rich arable soil. The typical US supermarket produce has zero appeal!
I was diagnosed as pre diabetic yesterday, when I asked how to reverse or manage it, what to cut out. The GP laughed and said ‘don’t worry about reducing things’.!!! I wish ALL doctors were like David Unwin. I wasn’t given any information about diet or asked to come back at any point to check if symptoms had increased etc. This guy is a god send.
When a blood test revealed that I had a fasting glucose that was now in the low end of pre-diabetic range, I asked my GP about it and mentioned studies showing that it placed me at more than three times greater risk of heart disease. His response was, "Yeah, you're not wrong, but nobody's perfect." The majority of physicians out there are both clueless and simply don't care about your health. That's why people have to take ownership of their own health outcomes. Doctors like Dr. Unwin are extremely rare based on my experience.
Not a doctor here - type 2 diabetic in the US. The treatment Dr. Unwin suggests is the opposite of what doctors in the United States suggest. I find it so interesting. At diagnosis, the first thing the American doctor suggests, after prescribing Metformin, is for the patient to see a dietitian or nutritionist. The nutritionist tells the patient to eat lots of whole grains, plenty of fruit and to limit red meat and fats. When the patient worsens, doctor prescribes one of the new, expensive drugs (which I think was the goal all along). I was told that I only needed to test blood sugar in the morning and that if I did test after a meal, a reading of 200 (which I think is 11 mmol) was okay. Thankfully I did not listen and have been low carb and off the awful Metformin for more than a year. Silly doctor has no desire to know how I did it. Bless you Dr. Unwin!
Physicians are "trained" by 'kids...who sell the next drug for diabetes'" Stop eating carbs by 90%...prep your meats a week-ahead-of-time...burgers, fish, chicken, etc...then pull out portions for lunch. Etc. Cheap, smart, quick... teach others at lunch...end diabetes...end of story.

I’m 57 years old and reversed my 27 years diabetes two years ago by using dr Unwin method. I live in Seattle Us. I discontinued lots of meds including 2 insulins. Dropped 55 lbs from 235 lbs. most not least my mental clarity never been better and I need it a lot as software engineer. Thanks for being my savior.
So refreshing to see a practician genuinely concerned about his patients health as opposed to being content with prescribing them meds. Outstanding doctor and marvelous human being. Thank you Dr. Unwin
It's unacceptable how our taxes are being used to pay NHS doctors who are giving us terrible advice - like paying a mechanic who 'repairs' your car and afterwards it is worse state than what it was before.
I had a definite type 2 component on top of decades of type 1 diabetes. Only a change in diet to nearly carnivore really removed the type 2 and reduced my need for insulin.
I've seen several talks by Dr. Unwin that were less than one hour each. This specific talk is very valuable, because he has enough time to go into more detail. I appreciate it very much. It makes me want to move to the UK to get guidance from the Unwins.
I am going to give this video the best rating it is the most concise informative and learning tool I've watched and will most certainly pass this on. Thank you for making this available. I have been keto lifestyle eating for 3yrs, not because I'm diabetic because I don't want to be diabetic. It keeps my weight in check.
Low-carb is really impressive at decreasing hunger signals. I accidentally lost a bunch of weight I didn't mean to lose once and had to deliberately eat more food than I was actually hungry for to stop feeling cold all the time.
Nice to see GP's in the UK finally starting to cotton on to this.. The sad truth is that many people would rather take the drugs and continue stuffing the sugar and carbs in, people don't like changing their bad habits.
So glad someone send me this video. This is what I want to hear. You are on the side of people and make a difference. You are for sure in the right side. Great talk.
I'm from Guyana and I found your channel from Dr Tony Hampton. Your information and explanation is so complete. I've been low carb for about three years, I've never used medication. I eat to my meter .....I test especially one hour after a meal to determine if that good is acceptable. I was introduced to low carb by, "Best Diabetes" I'm now listening to all of you videos
It was an organized hit job on saturated fat, meat, and real food by the cereal and sugar lobbies. The lobbyists behind big food, pharm and industry is beyond belief. Grassroots change is the only way back to real health. Dr Unwin and Dr Pradip Jamnadas and Dr Jason Fung plus many others are helping millions back to proper health.
Stellar presentation! Ive added more vigorous exercise and free weights. I see (Libre 3) my glucose even more stable as a result. Im putting on muscle mass which was my goal so that I can process glucose more efficiently. This is aside from low carb, hyper hydration, walking/biking (fairly competitive). The other night after an aggressive workout, I found myself urinating 4-5x that night (fairly clear and not cloudy). I presume that was the byproduct of my hydration and exercise. I did also notice that my glucose was very very stable throughout the night. The next night I was only up once (usually 1-2, occasionally 3x). Besides adding muscle, I feel that my added exercise is purging my muscles of stored glucose and residual vestiges of processed oils (which I no longer consume). Onward, upward.
God Bless You Dr Unwin. Thank you for posting this on UA-cam I am very grateful. I am not a health care professional but so enjoyed this presentation at conference. You have given me hope. Thank you. Today, I am a 66 yr old woman, diagnosed with T2 diabetes in Jan 2016. I have been on Metformin since then (7 years). I am a recent T2 diabetic in remission (4 months now). I live in the United States and, by the measures you have used in your presentation, I am guessing UK uses a different scale of measure. My doctores follow American Diabetes Association guidelinees. Having read the book "Bittersewwt by Chris Feudtner" (2003). My Grandfather and I are the only two in the family history with this disease, and this history would have been the life he lived. How far we have come, I have access to research medicines and wonderful tools he never had. I have also read thru the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, MA. They seem to have a tighter regimen than ADA. In my professional life, I was an accountant and an adjunct professor of accountancy. Very detail oriented. I keep detail dietary records and closely monitored what foods did what to my blood glucose levels. With the help of Metformin, I moved my A1C from 13.X to between 5.9 & 6.3 mg/dL I went for my annual visit with my practitioner and found my GFR went from normal to 28% (Stage 4 CKD). My doctor took me off Metformin. Three months later my A1C, without meds, was 6.0 mg/dL. I've met twice now with my Nephrologist. She's monitoring but has made no mention of dietary change. That really suprised me. My family practitioner told me it is very rare that someone come off Metformin (so that was good), and that kidneys don't usually get better (that was not so good). When removed from meds, I became fearful of eating too many carbs. So I cut back, without any guidelines, and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I feel better without Metformin but am very fearful of kidney failure. So, I found hope in your talk about improved kidney function. I would be happy simply to move to a better kidney function, but pray for healing. I purchased your book, and will talk with my Nephrologist at my next meeting. Thank you again for sharing your work on UA-cam. God Bless You.
Well done Doc, the first British Doctor ive found on UA-cam who is promoting a low carb diet, Hopefully the word is spreading, Im not diabetic, i have heart disease, ive been low carb 3 months, lost 13kilos, My Doctors never told me about suger and triglycerides, they are still obsessing about LDL cholesterol and statins.
@@maricamaas2326 maybe ? I used to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, orange juice some of the time, before I had a heart attack , so I would be surprised if I was low on vit c
@@raymorris952 It seems Glucose competes with, and tend to often win over C? Sodium also plays a role in absorption of Vit C, according to James DiNicolantonio ('The Salt Fix'). Highly problematic (especially for the elderly, whose kidneys do not hold on to salt as well) to be on a low salt diet! As you might be aware: Besides for Vit C, there also are other nutrient deficiencies linked to deteriorating heart health, such as Vit B1&12, Folate, Choline, CoQ10, L-Carnitine; Iron, Magnesium&Potassium, as well as Omega 3's; with Anxiety&Stress in general - alongside Caffeine&Sugar - all playing a role.
A person of grandiose scientific and moral stature. I thought such people had extinct long ago. Well, fortunately not. And all that in times when the majority of MDs are on the medicines-promotion business...
What a wonderful surprise to see this posted by UK based GP! I work in care & try to help my clients by getting them to eat better & drink more filtered water. It is very hard when they go to their GP-es & they say it is fine to eat everything, at any time & drink tea with meals,etc,..
This is going to be very useful - I've been doing this diet fro just before we were all slamed with Covid (shutdow project) but there seemed to be something missing to get properly better. Now I know how to reduce my need for Insulin and that is a very bid deal for me. Thank you.
I'm a drug free diabetic with an HBA1C 45. and I've done it by my self. Never seen a doctor re diabetes, Only seen a nurse. Free style libra for type 2, your joking. The doctors at the practice refuse to give type 2 even standard testing equipment. I bought my own testing equipment. . I started with an A1C. 60 refused drugs, brought it down to 48 in 3 months. No help from the surgery. I went back to my training and put myself on the Low Carb diet of the 60s. I had no training with type 2 as they didn't exist under 60 in the 1960s. So based my diet on type 1. With a few naughties I'm starting to cut them down as I'm stuck at A1C 45
Excellent information. I am 82 yrs age I don't have any chronic diseasesvor any type of illness.I Vegetarian diet eg. Fruit vegetables and nuts and pulses like lentil rich in protein. My mother shee like me are vegetarian by our religion and my mum fied at age of 86 yrs and she never suffered any illness or diseases of any king. Only at 85 age she had type 1 diabetes.
I was diagnosed with t2D (10.5 & 12.5). That day i changed my diet and resumed normal blood sugar level IMMEDIATELY. No drugs. 8 weeks later i was 10 kilos lighter. 20 weeks later i was 20 kilos lighter....BP resumed normal. (5mg prexum daily). Im 65 yo. A1c 5.1. I totally front end loaded TD2! All i had to do was give my body an even break and walk the glorious Dharawal lands
What a great presentation! I have experienced the peeing all the time result of going low carb, which generated terrible headaches and extreme thirst I developed a shortage of magnesium, zinc, potassium and vitamins especially b vitamins. This is something to definitely watch if you are going low-carb, I have had to supplement these things and eat more sodium chloride as well which is totally contrary to everything we ever thought. In the US, salt is demonized, and salts like magnesium are rarely discussed with your doctor but it is critical to your health.
For me dietary cholesterol did affect my serum cholesterol. I was eating 4 eggs from my hens most days. My total cholesterol was close to 300. I cut down to one egg a day, and my cholesterol dropped to 219. (I’m in the US, I know we use different units on many of these things.)
I think the key may be that hunger, and the urge to binge, is not triggered by low blood sugar, it is triggered by the rate of fall of blood sugar (even if it is still moderate to high as a level). That's why the blood sugar spikes from carbs are so problematic.
I would recommend that everyone who needs to lose weight gets on the Carbs & Cals books…and in particular the 800 calorie a day rapid weight loss diet… IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DO… I’ve done it, 5st 5lbs lost between 29th January 24 (weigh day by the diabetic nurse when I weighed in at 21st 5lbs)… today I’m maintaining my weight loss and keeping to 16st… after having got down to that weight on 27th May 24… Believe me it will change your life… off metformin, and getting plenty of walking exercise each day with my dog… don’t just think about it….DO IT…
A powerful tool to lower BP, is extended FASTING. Just take care to replenish electrolytes. Really a too low BP should be more of a concern; as Dr. James DiNicolantonio ('The Salt Fix') for example explains: We need to take in enough healthy salt in order to hold on to water; as to maintain blood volume along with high enough BP. With low blood volume the blood vessels need to constrict, and/or the heart rate needs to increase; as to maintain adequate blood flow.
The tide is turning. Doctors of tomorrow will be very different, like this doctor. My doctors never told me to change my diet. They just gave me more drugs, and then drugs to help with the side effects. I have now taken matters into my own hands. Low carb has amazing results. I now feel years younger. 🙂 Make sure you try it.
Absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The one thing I'd like to say tho is that alcohol should absolutely be avoided - it should be something that you have a small amount of once in a blue moon. Also that sometimes keto doesn't work quite the same for women especially on certain days of their cycle where they may need just a tiny bit of glucose and on those cple of days a little bit of fruit at the end of your evening meal which should be full of healthy veges, can give them just enough glucose to help them through but without creating an insulin spike but if they have too much it's easy to falk off the wagon.
I had a text from my practise nurse to say I have prediabetes, I stopped all sugar and as much carbohydrate as possible and lost a stone in a month, since then I joined a nhs programme where more fluids, more exercise and more wholefoods were recommended. Fair enough but the lentils, beans etc raise my blood sugar to over 200 so going back to sardines, cheese, eggs, salad, leafy vegetàbles and meat.
I'm a long time T2 who has always tested my blood sugar a lot and figured out what you say is correct about 15 years ago. I spent years arguing with Doctors and nurses about it (my blood meter doesn't lie). I think there is a shotcoming in what you said about alcohol. If I drink alcohol it will immediately lower my blood sugar. I find this handy for stopping a glucose spike if I eat somthing high glycemic (alcohol for blood sugar control is admittedly a very dangerous practice, depending upon your meds). However, while it lowers my blood sugar immediately, it spikes it in the morning much higher than a normal morning spike. I have my assumptions as to why and I deal with it ok. Perhaps you could comment about the reasons involved at some point.
Check out his “ long silent scream from the liver” lecture, it should help you understand why what happens in the liver when drinking alcohol and why its counter to most ideas of what’s happening.
Could have to do with increased Cortisol (anyway already high in the morning), which also induce sugar spikes; with any form of physical, chemical or emotional stress inducing a sympathetic dominant state?
@ shalom i’m glad to hear your hemoglobin A1c is down. I’ve also found beat diabetes UA-cam by Dennis Pollick to be helpful Did the kidney doctor say you could drink more water when I had kidney stones they asked me to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water I don’t know what they say when your EGFR is low when I drink more water it went from 88 to 96 and I stayed there.
in the USA, I got the freestyle Libre 3 by paying for it myself. My insurance wouldn’t help, but my doctor agreed to give me a prescription. I get two sensors each month at Costco for $62.00 total. You have to be a Costco member to get that price. That is low cost compared to every other place I checked. If you call Costco to ask the price, they will quote double that much. I’ve gotten them last 3 months and each time, I pay $62.00 for two sensors (without insurance). It’s worth it to be able to see what my blood sugar is 7/24.
@@dalesupertramp9234 You are fortunate your doctor would give you a prescription for the CGM. My crappy doctor says, "You don't need that." I'm beginning to think I do not need him.
That doctor should be given a patient on the back,,,we need more like that ,also the money they save on meds could help ,towards them if you make a list of what food triggers you it's then easier to get a diet easy to follow,,
For what it's worth: IMO obesity is NOT causing any diseased state. It merely is a downstream symptom - for some; similar to increased Cholesterol production and higher BP. The Intelligently Designed body adapts towards ensuring survival. Alarming to consider that 60% of those of normal weight, are not metabolically healthy, and are - according to some reports - developing T2D even to a greater extent than obese individuals.
I did really well…lost loads of weight…then, got hit by bad lower back and hip pain…so bad I could no longer exercise…and put all the weight back on… I’ve been x-rayed, scanned, and prodded, done physio, and nothing has helped… BUT…I started to cut my statins…by 50%…and guess what…it’s helped….I’m taking Atorvastatin, and one of the ‘effects’ in some people is back pain…. I’m now thinking that I have to diet again to reduce my weight - as I must do - and try and get my statins changed, or stop taking them altogether, and see if the back pain goes away… if so great… I’ll keep trying, that’s all you can do…but at 66 years I sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it…!! I’m Type 2 diabetes…
Take control of your own health, and just get off the statins immediately; no one is forcing you to take them? To improve over-all health: Incorporate regular daily&extended periods of FASTING. Besides for limiting processed, refined foods with harmful additives (EAT REAL FOOD); make sure to ingest enough healing animal foods (including in Collagen form), and important: with added fat. Also look into optimising your Vit D level ('The Optimum Dose' - MD Judson Somerville), which is helpful towards inducing Deep Restorative Sleep, and with it weight loss and detoxing, healing&repair. Besides for Sunshine, Rest, Deep Breathing and Grounding; prioritise Movement - within limits of your pain: 'Motion is the Lotion; with Blood the Life Force'....
Cholesterol absorption and reabsorption from the GI tract is variable and in individuals with APOE4 it is very efficiently absorbed and raises cholesterol and ApoB. One size does not fit all, that is why Ezetimibe is used. What is the evidence HDL is protective?
There are studies which had confirmed this; especially so for older women. Anyway, for me it is a common sense matter, since in order to lower immunity before an organ transplant operation, patients previously were ingesting some vegetable seed-oils. (Currently they are prescribed Cholesterol lowering medications.) To the contrary, it makes sense that in order to boost immunity, and to assure adequate Vit D production can take place, one should make sure one's Cholesterol levels are high enough.
Yes lowering carbs reduces the issue of raised blood sugar levels, but this is like not filling up your tank reduces fuel consumption. Neither address the true cause of diabetes-2 which is a diet high in fats. The fats make the cells insulin resistent after which carb consumption becomes "the problem". Well, in a two stage process, the last process is not the real problem, it is the one before......the high fat consumption. The rice eating Chinese from the 1980's had very low diabetes-2 rates (
This is great: long case-histories of his clinic's patients ! I'm new to this, so wondering about the long term. remember Pink Floyd: "You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat."... maybe just alittle pudding.
If you look up 'Public Health Collaberation' Dr.Unwin has a lot of resources available to view and download, from videos to studies. You might find something there.
Yes, chronic stress, resulting in sympathetic dominance; with the body not differentiating between physical-, chemical-, and emotional stressors... Leading to increased Cortisol (which also induces fat storage); alongside suppressed Thyroid metabolism... Thereby inhibiting digestion (resulting in various nutrient deficiencies), as well as reduced detoxification, healing&repair. When it comes to our diet: Besides for Excess, there for example are stressors like harmful defence chemicals/anti-nutrients in plant foods, as well as toxic antibiotics like Glyphosate, and other herbicides/pesticides in our food and water.
People in various testimonies said carnivore put in remission autoimmune diseases, see Jordan Peterson and his daughter and a lot of other physicians, there are special protocols to follow
Prescription medicines induce chemical stress on the body; typically leading to needing to take more medications to treat harmful effects, which often result from induced nutritional deficiencies. They are designed to treat symptoms, not to rectify the root-causes of a diseased state.
joe m, organic lemon in warm water is great drink, rinse your teeth after drinking it. Teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar(Lidl) in glass of warm water 30 minutes before meals increases stomach acid.
No. Sodium and many other components found in natural, healthy Sea&Rock Salts, are very important... Look into 'The Salt Fix', by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.
@@marilougo6084 Sodium is also important; for example not only assists in maintaining adequate BP, but also in taking up Vit C (including in the brain) and most important is constantly needed for the Sodium/Potassium pump between cells.
No carb is best. There is nothing in plant matter that is "essential", that can't be found in meats, fish, and eggs... all animal based! Find Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and a couple of others that explain thisvery well, on UA-cam, and their books.
There's a downside to this dr Unwin. I practiced this dietary restriction for one year and was in diabetes type 2 remission. I fekt so great, didn't feel hungry muc during the day. My hbA1C was at 5.3 for 6 months and wasn't on medications. I was on top of the world and wanted everyone to know it. Then 11month into this l was taken into hospital unconscious. The doctor's informed it eas kidney failure. They wanted to put ne on dialysis. I was stunned. I refused to go on dialysis. My drs put me on alternative treatment plan. Luckily l recovered and got out of hospital after a week. What shocked me the most is how l looked very old and thin. My dr said l was doing extreme fasting is why l look the way l did.
Dr Unwin is making the same mistake many low carb experts make. He does not understand the different metabolic pathways of fructose and glucose. Glucose is no where nearly as deadly for you as fructose is. Both glucose and fructose are sugars, but they have different metabolic pathways and effect your health differently.
@@brendamoore1190 The difference between fructose and glucose is not only extremely simple to understand, it very important. Fructose can me much more dangerous than glucose consumption for most people.
He's not making a mistake, he's teaching this in the real world, in minimum time, to real people without specific science interest. Making the fructose/glucose distinction is no help to folks whose hyperglycaemia is predominately due to starch ingestion.
@@cassieoz1702 But starch ingestion does not cause disease in healthy people. If you are talking about metabolically sick people, then yes you are correct.
@ClassicJukeboxBand he's not treating metabolically healthy people and this is a presentation to/for clinicians. Given that upwards of 80% of Americans have at least one marker of metabolic syndrome (including athletes and folks of 'normal' weight), it's foolish to assume that any patient who comes into your surgery is metabolically healthy

I was introduced to low carb by,
"Best Diabetes"
I'm now listening to all of you videos
The man is an absolute saint.
People are always demonizing the poor cow but no one ever complains about Kellogg's cornflakes, Mars bars or Coca-cola.
It's called a cash cow which goes back to Moses and Aaron's golden one.
All these companies are killing us with all this crap they put into food products.
It was an organized hit job on saturated fat, meat, and real food by the cereal and sugar lobbies. The lobbyists behind big food, pharm and industry is beyond belief. Grassroots change is the only way back to real health. Dr Unwin and Dr Pradip Jamnadas and Dr Jason Fung plus many others are helping millions back to proper health.

Stellar presentation! Ive added more vigorous exercise and free weights. I see (Libre 3) my glucose even more stable as a result. Im putting on muscle mass which was my goal so that I can process glucose more efficiently. This is aside from low carb, hyper hydration, walking/biking (fairly competitive). The other night after an aggressive workout, I found myself urinating 4-5x that night (fairly clear and not cloudy). I presume that was the byproduct of my hydration and exercise. I did also notice that my glucose was very very stable throughout the night. The next night I was only up once (usually 1-2, occasionally 3x). Besides adding muscle, I feel that my added exercise is purging my muscles of stored glucose and residual vestiges of processed oils (which I no longer consume). Onward, upward.
God Bless You Dr Unwin. Thank you for posting this on UA-cam I am very grateful. I am not a health care professional but so enjoyed this presentation at conference. You have given me hope. Thank you.
Today, I am a 66 yr old woman, diagnosed with T2 diabetes in Jan 2016. I have been on Metformin since then (7 years). I am a recent T2 diabetic in remission (4 months now). I live in the United States and, by the measures you have used in your presentation, I am guessing UK uses a different scale of measure. My doctores follow American Diabetes Association guidelinees. Having read the book "Bittersewwt by Chris Feudtner" (2003). My Grandfather and I are the only two in the family history with this disease, and this history would have been the life he lived. How far we have come, I have access to research medicines and wonderful tools he never had. I have also read thru the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, MA. They seem to have a tighter regimen than ADA.
In my professional life, I was an accountant and an adjunct professor of accountancy. Very detail oriented. I keep detail dietary records and closely monitored what foods did what to my blood glucose levels. With the help of Metformin, I moved my A1C from 13.X to between 5.9 & 6.3 mg/dL
I went for my annual visit with my practitioner and found my GFR went from normal to 28% (Stage 4 CKD). My doctor took me off Metformin. Three months later my A1C, without meds, was 6.0 mg/dL. I've met twice now with my Nephrologist. She's monitoring but has made no mention of dietary change. That really suprised me. My family practitioner told me it is very rare that someone come off Metformin (so that was good), and that kidneys don't usually get better (that was not so good).
When removed from meds, I became fearful of eating too many carbs. So I cut back, without any guidelines, and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I feel better without Metformin but am very fearful of kidney failure. So, I found hope in your talk about improved kidney function. I would be happy simply to move to a better kidney function, but pray for healing.
I purchased your book, and will talk with my Nephrologist at my next meeting. Thank you again for sharing your work on UA-cam. God Bless You.

Thanyou for your tape you are right I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 20 years ago I use insulin but there's change is just keep going up.
2 Boils eggs will finish hunger- low carb
Well done Doc, the first British Doctor ive found on UA-cam who is promoting a low carb diet, Hopefully the word is spreading, Im not diabetic, i have heart disease, ive been low carb 3 months, lost 13kilos, My Doctors never told me about suger and triglycerides, they are still obsessing about LDL cholesterol and statins.
Some suggest Heart Disease could be Vit C deficiency - a form of Scurvy, since receptors for Vit C and Glucose are alike...
@@maricamaas2326 maybe ? I used to eat lots of fruit and vegetables, orange juice some of the time, before I had a heart attack , so I would be surprised if I was low on vit c
@@raymorris952
It seems Glucose competes with, and tend to often win over C? Sodium also plays a role in absorption of Vit C, according to James DiNicolantonio ('The Salt Fix'). Highly problematic (especially for the elderly, whose kidneys do not hold on to salt as well) to be on a low salt diet!
As you might be aware: Besides for Vit C, there also are other nutrient deficiencies linked to deteriorating heart health, such as Vit B1&12, Folate, Choline, CoQ10, L-Carnitine; Iron, Magnesium&Potassium, as well as Omega 3's; with Anxiety&Stress in general - alongside Caffeine&Sugar - all playing a role.
Are you also fasting?
@@maricamaas2326Also nitric oxide, homocysteine, electrolytes balance, etc
A person of grandiose scientific and moral stature. I thought such people had extinct long ago. Well, fortunately not. And all that in times when the majority of MDs are on the medicines-promotion business...
I lost 100 pounds cutting out sugar in 2020.
Congratulations.
What a wonderful surprise to see this posted by UK based GP!
I work in care & try to help my clients by getting them to eat better & drink more filtered water. It is very hard when they go to their GP-es & they say it is fine to eat everything, at any time & drink tea with meals,etc,..
Yes, appetite control is the best side effect of ketogenic diet
This is going to be very useful - I've been doing this diet fro just before we were all slamed with Covid (shutdow project) but there seemed to be something missing to get properly better. Now I know how to reduce my need for Insulin and that is a very bid deal for me. Thank you.
I'm a drug free diabetic with an HBA1C 45. and I've done it by my self. Never seen a doctor re diabetes, Only seen a nurse. Free style libra for type 2, your joking. The doctors at the practice refuse to give type 2 even standard testing equipment. I bought my own testing equipment. .
I started with an A1C. 60 refused drugs, brought it down to 48 in 3 months. No help from the surgery. I went back to my training and put myself on the Low Carb diet of the 60s.
I had no training with type 2 as they didn't exist under 60 in the 1960s.
So based my diet on type 1. With a few naughties I'm starting to cut them down as I'm stuck at A1C 45
Excellent information. I am 82 yrs age I don't have any chronic diseasesvor any type of illness.I Vegetarian diet eg. Fruit vegetables and nuts and pulses like lentil rich in protein. My mother shee like me are vegetarian by our religion and my mum fied at age of 86 yrs and she never suffered any illness or diseases of any king. Only at 85 age she had type 1 diabetes.
Simply brilliant. Congratulation Dr. David Unwin !
Great overview, I bet there were a few medical professionals choosing their lunch options a bit more carefully that day😉
thank you Dr Unwin!
I was diagnosed with t2D (10.5 & 12.5). That day i changed my diet and resumed normal blood sugar level IMMEDIATELY. No drugs. 8 weeks later i was 10 kilos lighter. 20 weeks later i was 20 kilos lighter....BP resumed normal. (5mg prexum daily). Im 65 yo. A1c 5.1.
I totally front end loaded TD2! All i had to do was give my body an even break and walk the glorious Dharawal lands
What a great presentation! I have experienced the peeing all the time result of going low carb, which generated terrible headaches and extreme thirst
I developed a shortage of magnesium, zinc, potassium and vitamins especially b vitamins. This is something to definitely watch if you are going low-carb, I have had to supplement these things and eat more sodium chloride as well which is totally contrary to everything we ever thought. In the US, salt is demonized, and salts like magnesium are rarely discussed with your doctor but it is critical to your health.
Agree. I have increased my electrolytes and salt. Particularly when fasting.
Fasting also helps to start,,,off if you can
Goal is referred to as "your why" by Dr. K. Berry.
For me dietary cholesterol did affect my serum cholesterol. I was eating 4 eggs from my hens most days. My total cholesterol was close to 300. I cut down to one egg a day, and my cholesterol dropped to 219. (I’m in the US, I know we use different units on many of these things.)
Similar story here too. My total cholesterol was over 250 when I used to eat 2 or more eggs a day. It fell under 160 once I stopped consuming them.
Hi Dr. Thank You for very helpful lecture! ❤
Brilliant presentation!
Life changing... thank u doctor ❤
Thank you very, very much Dr Unwin
I think the key may be that hunger, and the urge to binge, is not triggered by low blood sugar, it is triggered by the rate of fall of blood sugar (even if it is still moderate to high as a level). That's why the blood sugar spikes from carbs are so problematic.
7 carbs in a cup of green beans. That's my total carb allowance per meal. So, I do measure my carbs. Which is mostly intuitive after a few months.
Use Berberine to decrease metformin usage and less diarrhea 😀
Oh I've heard it's also helps with cancer ,,berberine ,where is it from,
Salam and salute Dr. Unwin thanks a lot for understanding and helping.
Watching from Virginia, USA.
I would recommend that everyone who needs to lose weight gets on the Carbs & Cals books…and in particular the 800 calorie a day rapid weight loss diet… IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DO… I’ve done it, 5st 5lbs lost between 29th January 24 (weigh day by the diabetic nurse when I weighed in at 21st 5lbs)… today I’m maintaining my weight loss and keeping to 16st… after having got down to that weight on 27th May 24… Believe me it will change your life… off metformin, and getting plenty of walking exercise each day with my dog… don’t just think about it….DO IT…
Excellent overview
Brilliant doctor.
I wish he was my GP; I've been low carb for two years, reversed my pre-diabetes and lost 21kgs, but still have hypertension.
Re : BP allspice. Wrx4me.

A powerful tool to lower BP, is extended FASTING. Just take care to replenish electrolytes.
Really a too low BP should be more of a concern; as Dr. James DiNicolantonio ('The Salt Fix') for example explains: We need to take in enough healthy salt in order to hold on to water; as to maintain blood volume along with high enough BP. With low blood volume the blood vessels need to constrict, and/or the heart rate needs to increase; as to maintain adequate blood flow.
The tide is turning. Doctors of tomorrow will be very different, like this doctor. My doctors never told me to change my diet. They just gave me more drugs, and then drugs to help with the side effects. I have now taken matters into my own hands. Low carb has amazing results. I now feel years younger. 🙂 Make sure you try it.
HOPE IS VERY POWERFUL - Dr. Jen Unwin
Absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The one thing I'd like to say tho is that alcohol should absolutely be avoided - it should be something that you have a small amount of once in a blue moon. Also that sometimes keto doesn't work quite the same for women especially on certain days of their cycle where they may need just a tiny bit of glucose and on those cple of days a little bit of fruit at the end of your evening meal which should be full of healthy veges, can give them just enough glucose to help them through but without creating an insulin spike but if they have too much it's easy to falk off the wagon.
That makes total sense
God bless 🙌
This is what medicine could do
Very interesting!!!
Skip the first 20 minutes and then it is really super-informative.
Oh, no, it's all well worth listening to!
What measurement is he using for diabetic glucose rate?
great
I had a text from my practise nurse to say I have prediabetes, I stopped all sugar and as much carbohydrate as possible and lost a stone in a month, since then I joined a nhs programme where more fluids, more exercise and more wholefoods were recommended. Fair enough but the lentils, beans etc raise my blood sugar to over 200 so going back to sardines, cheese, eggs, salad, leafy vegetàbles and meat.
Oh bum I've been using, lentils and chick peas ,beans , ,,I need a libre machine as its hit and miss other wise
Now, now Dr Unwin, Scottish raspberries are very good 🏴 and low carb (I think).
PS and we get sun about 3 days a year.
This is great. A little bit of BWV1007, at the conclusion of the courante thrown in there ...
I'm a long time T2 who has always tested my blood sugar a lot and figured out what you say is correct about 15 years ago. I spent years arguing with Doctors and nurses about it (my blood meter doesn't lie). I think there is a shotcoming in what you said about alcohol. If I drink alcohol it will immediately lower my blood sugar. I find this handy for stopping a glucose spike if I eat somthing high glycemic (alcohol for blood sugar control is admittedly a very dangerous practice, depending upon your meds). However, while it lowers my blood sugar immediately, it spikes it in the morning much higher than a normal morning spike. I have my assumptions as to why and I deal with it ok. Perhaps you could comment about the reasons involved at some point.
No thanks
Check out his “ long silent scream from the liver” lecture, it should help you understand why what happens in the liver when drinking alcohol and why its counter to most ideas of what’s happening.
@@The.Phobicist I'll do that. Thanks.
Go carnivore and never worry about it again.
Could have to do with increased Cortisol (anyway already high in the morning), which also induce sugar spikes; with any form of physical, chemical or emotional stress inducing a sympathetic dominant state?
@ shalom i’m glad to hear your hemoglobin A1c is down. I’ve also found beat diabetes UA-cam by Dennis Pollick to be helpful
Did the kidney doctor say you could drink more water when I had kidney stones they asked me to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water I don’t know what they say when your EGFR is low when I drink more water it went from 88 to 96 and I stayed there.
The problem is am I flushing out needed minerals n vits
I could not get a freestyle libre, when my family got me one its a revalation as I was shocked at what foods did spike.
in the USA, I got the freestyle Libre 3 by paying for it myself. My insurance wouldn’t help, but my doctor agreed to give me a prescription. I get two sensors each month at Costco for $62.00 total. You have to be a Costco member to get that price. That is low cost compared to every other place I checked. If you call Costco to ask the price, they will quote double that much. I’ve gotten them last 3 months and each time, I pay $62.00 for two sensors (without insurance). It’s worth it to be able to see what my blood sugar is 7/24.
@@dalesupertramp9234 You are fortunate your doctor would give you a prescription for the CGM. My crappy doctor says, "You don't need that." I'm beginning to think I do not need him.
That doctor should be given a patient on the back,,,we need more like that ,also the money they save on meds could help ,towards them if you make a list of what food triggers you it's then easier to get a diet easy to follow,,
And things that are triggers, to eat occasionally, ,,if you are out,, choice would be you're, being you have that information
The doctor should have a pat on the back,,for helping,,not everyone can afford to buy one,,,
Insulin causes the kidneys to sequester *salt!* Interesting. I didn't know that. That explains why I need more salt than my friends who eat the SAD.
For what it's worth: IMO obesity is NOT causing any diseased state. It merely is a downstream symptom - for some; similar to increased Cholesterol production and higher BP.
The Intelligently Designed body adapts towards ensuring survival. Alarming to consider that 60% of those of normal weight, are not metabolically healthy, and are - according to some reports - developing T2D even to a greater extent than obese individuals.
What about D2M caused by IR , fatty liver & mitochondria disease, metabolism syndrome???????????!!
Does anyone on here manage their Type 1 with diet and exercise? Would love to here from people who have advice around Type 1 management.
A type 1 diabetic either does not make enough insulin or does not make any insulin. I do not think you can control Type 1 without medicine.
I did really well…lost loads of weight…then, got hit by bad lower back and hip pain…so bad I could no longer exercise…and put all the weight back on… I’ve been x-rayed, scanned, and prodded, done physio, and nothing has helped… BUT…I started to cut my statins…by 50%…and guess what…it’s helped….I’m taking Atorvastatin, and one of the ‘effects’ in some people is back pain…. I’m now thinking that I have to diet again to reduce my weight - as I must do - and try and get my statins changed, or stop taking them altogether, and see if the back pain goes away… if so great… I’ll keep trying, that’s all you can do…but at 66 years I sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it…!! I’m Type 2 diabetes…
you are using your back pain as an excuse. If you don’t want to low carb then look forward to ill health.
Being 66 years old is not an excuse you might live till 75 and spend five years with 1 foot on dialysis
Take control of your own health, and just get off the statins immediately; no one is forcing you to take them?
To improve over-all health: Incorporate regular daily&extended periods of FASTING. Besides for limiting processed, refined foods with harmful additives (EAT REAL FOOD); make sure to ingest enough healing animal foods (including in Collagen form), and important: with added fat.
Also look into optimising your Vit D level ('The Optimum Dose' - MD Judson Somerville), which is helpful towards inducing Deep Restorative Sleep, and with it weight loss and detoxing, healing&repair. Besides for Sunshine, Rest, Deep Breathing and Grounding; prioritise Movement - within limits of your pain: 'Motion is the Lotion; with Blood the Life Force'....
Cholesterol absorption and reabsorption from the GI tract is variable and in individuals with APOE4 it is very efficiently absorbed and raises cholesterol and ApoB. One size does not fit all, that is why Ezetimibe is used.
What is the evidence HDL is protective?
There are studies which had confirmed this; especially so for older women.
Anyway, for me it is a common sense matter, since in order to lower immunity before an organ transplant operation, patients previously were ingesting some vegetable seed-oils. (Currently they are prescribed Cholesterol lowering medications.)
To the contrary, it makes sense that in order to boost immunity, and to assure adequate Vit D production can take place, one should make sure one's Cholesterol levels are high enough.
So where can we read up on this please
Yes lowering carbs reduces the issue of raised blood sugar levels, but this is like not filling up your tank reduces fuel consumption. Neither address the true cause of diabetes-2 which is a diet high in fats. The fats make the cells insulin resistent after which carb consumption becomes "the problem". Well, in a two stage process, the last process is not the real problem, it is the one before......the high fat consumption. The rice eating Chinese from the 1980's had very low diabetes-2 rates (
ok, good lecture, so what are the best foods to eat to achieve this Doctor, diabetes is a killer...but foods to eat are very confusing?
thank you
Check out Dr. John McDougal who has been treating patients with diet for over 40 yrs.

If the patient eats more saturated fat on a low carb diet and drives up their Apob, will this not raise their risk of ascvd?

No.

Stress is major root causes of fatality
Yes, chronic stress, resulting in sympathetic dominance; with the body not differentiating between physical-, chemical-, and emotional stressors... Leading to increased Cortisol (which also induces fat storage); alongside suppressed Thyroid metabolism... Thereby inhibiting digestion (resulting in various nutrient deficiencies), as well as reduced detoxification, healing&repair.
When it comes to our diet: Besides for Excess, there for example are stressors like harmful defence chemicals/anti-nutrients in plant foods, as well as toxic antibiotics like Glyphosate, and other herbicides/pesticides in our food and water.
so could the same treatment also help or cure Crohn's , ?
In connection with Crohn's and various other auto-immune conditions: Much benefit from advice given by Peter Osborne ('No Grain No Pain').
People in various testimonies said carnivore put in remission autoimmune diseases, see Jordan Peterson and his daughter and a lot of other physicians, there are special protocols to follow
I'm prediabetic, I Started using metformin it's worst medicine. Now I'm using combination medicine, my A1 c is below 5.6 no muscle loss.
Prescription medicines induce chemical stress on the body; typically leading to needing to take more medications to treat harmful effects, which often result from induced nutritional deficiencies. They are designed to treat symptoms, not to rectify the root-causes of a diseased state.
Check out Dr. John McDougal
All the crap they put in our food that is not for humans makes us diabetic- I always allowed myself 1 candybar a yr and got diabetis at age 64

Sodium is also important; for example not only assists in maintaining adequate BP, but also in taking up Vit C (including in the brain) and most important is constantly needed for the Sodium/Potassium pump between cells.
Low carb or no carb? Explain
_"No carb"_ is essentially carnivore, which is mainly meat, eggs and dairy. That's extremely healthy. _"Low carb"_ adds in some low carb vegetables.
No carb is best. There is nothing in plant matter that is "essential", that can't be found in meats, fish, and eggs... all animal based!
Find Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and a couple of others that explain thisvery well, on UA-cam, and their books.

Actually, sugar is glucose and fructose. Wheat bread and rice don't have fructose. Many people get leaner with high carb and low-fat.
There's a downside to this dr Unwin. I practiced this dietary restriction for one year and was in diabetes type 2 remission. I fekt so great, didn't feel hungry muc during the day. My hbA1C was at 5.3 for 6 months and wasn't on medications. I was on top of the world and wanted everyone to know it. Then 11month into this l was taken into hospital unconscious. The doctor's informed it eas kidney failure. They wanted to put ne on dialysis. I was stunned. I refused to go on dialysis. My drs put me on alternative treatment plan. Luckily l recovered and got out of hospital after a week. What shocked me the most is how l looked very old and thin. My dr said l was doing extreme fasting is why l look the way l did.

Dr Unwin is making the same mistake many low carb experts make. He does not understand the different metabolic pathways of fructose and glucose. Glucose is no where nearly as deadly for you as fructose is. Both glucose and fructose are sugars, but they have different metabolic pathways and effect your health differently.
Baby steps for the newbies. Information overload will not help; smart to start with the basics, even with trained GPS.
@@brendamoore1190 The difference between fructose and glucose is not only extremely simple to understand, it very important. Fructose can me much more dangerous than glucose consumption for most people.
He's not making a mistake, he's teaching this in the real world, in minimum time, to real people without specific science interest. Making the fructose/glucose distinction is no help to folks whose hyperglycaemia is predominately due to starch ingestion.
@@cassieoz1702 But starch ingestion does not cause disease in healthy people. If you are talking about metabolically sick people, then yes you are correct.
@ClassicJukeboxBand he's not treating metabolically healthy people and this is a presentation to/for clinicians. Given that upwards of 80% of Americans have at least one marker of metabolic syndrome (including athletes and folks of 'normal' weight), it's foolish to assume that any patient who comes into your surgery is metabolically healthy
