*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
I agree. Get your daughter checked. My son could not get enough water, constantly in the bathroom and lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks. He spent last weekend in the ICU. Very sick. The hospital released him before his levels were evened out, but they decided to send him home because the hospital was so full of COVID. He is in College and his roommates had COVID. He now has COVID on top of his new Type 1 diagnosis. I am not terribly sure why he has diabetes as our family is prominently low blood sugar. He also has always had low blood sugar, So confused as to how this is possible? The only significant thing he did was get first vaccine 7 months ago, got second vaccine 2 weeks before he ended up in ICU. I am not anti-vax. People can do what they want. But I am struggling with the fact this happened around the time he got the vaccine. Also, I am not a MAGA hat person, not Trump signs or stickers…but in May 2020 Trump was trying to pass bill to make insulin and epi pens affordable. As low as $100 a month, people are dying. Biden(Mr healthcare is a right) what a joke of a human, stopped the bill dead in its tracks. Does that sound like a man who cares about healthcare? I say not. He lied to get his position. Look it up. That happened. Children, small children with juvenile diabetes whose families have to struggle to find a way to get life saving meds for their children. My son’s prescription for 3 weeks was $1700. His long acting shot is not covered at all, ever. His short acting shots have to be pre approved. Diabetics have gone back into keto acidosis waiting for approval. I have a very large insurance company. Any other meds he may need I have to pray they cover. The government, pharmaceutical companies…they do not care about diabetics. No one can tell me different and really hope no one argues, because this past week has been a nightmare. To add to that, my son was legally handicapped capped at birth. Deformed foot, 10 surgeries before 12. Such a sweet boy he would never let me out his handicapped sign 🪧 n the car so we could park close so it wouldn’t hurt him to walk. He used to say, others need it more. I haven’t picked political sides…kind of thought they were all they same. Again, I am a Middle class single mom, with 3 boys at home, one in college and one graduated with a master’s. I cannot afford the horrible grocery prices, the outrageous gasoline and now I find out my son is sick and the government and pharmaceutical companies do not care of our children and parents die. They can spend millions on a vaccine, but can’t cut cost of insulin? Who in their right mind would agree that’s ok? Who? Average cost in the nation for insulin with great insurance and your insulin covered is $1000 a month. That does not include needles glucometer, glucose strips, the many doctors appointment. Just the insulin. And btw, while they are yelling about vaccine, masks mandates, one of the worst co-morbity for COVID is diabetes. But Biden blocked the bill that would save limbs, lives of millions of diabetics. He says get the vaccine out of love for your neighbor, but hey, he doesn’t care about the third worst comorbity COVID kills. He literally killed people when he blocked that bill. Again, not anti vax, until 2 weeks ago. Complete utter hypocrisy. Disgusting. And none is even aware he did that. I only knew trying to understand my son’s chronic illness. How can you trust one word. How? It’s revolting. I literally puked and cried when I found out what he did. My son who wants to contribute to humanity, has more morals in his thumbnail then Biden. I am one of the idiots that believed he would change healthcare, not literally mame and kill diabetics who cannot afford their medication. Again, we are supposed to take the Jab to save people like my son, while in the meantime he made it hard for one of the first group to die from COVID by( diabetics) to just live. Think about that. Research and make that man be gone, gone, gone in 2024. Actually, he won’t even know when 2024 is, so we probably don’t have to worry. I am going to spend every day letting every person I meet know what he did to our diabetic community. The ones he pretends to protect with the jab. He literally killed and named diabetics that can’t afford thousand of dollars A MONTH and STILL talks about better healthcare. Sick and evil. Sorry this is so bitter. It was a devastating week. I do not forget. And I will write letters, spread the word…no more. Absolutely no more of that crap out of his mouth. My son is strong, he will overcome(he has the worst kind of diabetes)…and the demented old man..he doesn’t care who lives or dies. Don’t be fooled. I certainly was. He lost a child. Anyone with a soul would have empathy. He is completely entirely void of that emotion, morals and most importantly cognitive function. But he kept his 47 years of useless evil intact. Didn’t he?
@@marieyates7868 I am sorry to hear about your son's problems. Sudden onset T1DM patients may benefit from a LCHF diet. There are many UA-cam channels that you may refer to such as Dr. Fung, Dr. Cywes, Dr. Lustig, Dr. Ken Ekberg, Dr. Eric Berg, to name a few. I am sure most of them will be willing to give you on line consultation for a nominal charge. Don't give up hope, hang in there 🙂
@@torkeymada Thank you so much for your kind advice and I am definitely going to check them out. Diabetes is a hard blow to take and so much information to take in. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
@@marieyates7868 You are welcome. It's the least I can do. Have collected some more information for you. In case of sudden onset T1D immediate dietary intervention can be a great help in many cases. So checking out the following might be worth your while. Dr. Sarah Hallberg and Dr. Stephen Phinney, run the Virta Clinic (501 Folsom St. San Francisco, Ca. 94105.) They also have online nutritional programs for type 1&2 diabetics, using minimum or nil medications. Watch Sarah Hallberg on TED here: "Reversing Type 2 diabetes starts with ignoring the guidelines- Sarah Hallberg at: TEDx PurdueU" on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/da1vvigy5tQ/v-deo.html Watch "Dr. Stephen Phinney on Nutritional Ketosis and Ketogenic Diets (Part 1)" on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/1IEuhp8RFMU/v-deo.html One of their doctors, Dr. Jake Kushner, treats especially type 1DM patients. You can watch him on UA-cam here: "Transforming T1D with LCHF with Dr. Jake Kushner - Diet Doctor Podcast" ua-cam.com/video/LGKZqTFVZ4k/v-deo.html As you know, it is a long hard grind after a diagnosis of diabetes, and it can be quite confusing, considering the conflicting advice you get, even from trusted doctors and dietitians. Don't get disheartened. I went through this 3 years back (T2D) and am on the mend now with an LCHF and exercise regime. Wish you and your son the best 🙂
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
This dude is either a puppet or quack. He’s using his credibility as a phd to spread stupid nonsense. It’s super easy to be healthy. Eat a high protein and fiber diet and take useful supplements, vitamins, and peptides. Dismiss anyone who says dumb stuff like meat is more likely to cause diabetes than sugar. Sugar should be treated like a drug, in moderation it’s okay but don’t be a sugar addict.
I am an advanced cancer survivor that after after chemotherapy treatments I ended up with type 1.5 diabetes treated as type 2. My wife purchased your books and we both eat strictly low-fat vegan meals. I have been able to 100% stop taking Metformin and cholesterol meds, I have normal sugar readings. Many heartfelt thanks for this life changing information.
I was pre-diabetic and had cholesterol going up into the 220’s. My doctor wanted to start meds. Through a blessing at that time, we switched our diet to plant based to cure our daughters auto-immune disease (diagnosed generalized MG, through blood testing and clinical). I was eating “lean” white meats and lots of fish at the time and thought I was eating healthy. I switched my diet in support of our daughter (including juicing) and my cholesterol numbers (total) went to 145 and my good cholesterol ratio greatly improved within 2 months. I continued to loose the extra 50 lbs i was carrying around over 6 months but was eating all I wanted in vegetables/fruit/whole grains/legumes with no attention to caloric intake. This saved my life!
That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing your testimony. Congrats!! This story is inspirational for me. I also pray that you and your family are continuing to feel well with great health. Lots of Love to you guys. 🙏🏾
May I ask what was your diet in general when you were eating lean white meats and lots of fish? Did you eat processed foods? Grains? Starchy foods? Sodas or other sugary stuff? I wonder whether your diet was totally natural (meaning that it came from nature (meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish)) or there were processed foods? Or maybe the other kinds of foods that I've mentioned? I'm asking about this because for some reason, quite a lot of KETO folks are having success and they don't necessarily eat vegan diet.
Thank you so much. I feel like a new person. I can eat all the time losing weight like crazy. In just six weeks i no longer need to take medicine for high cholesterol and diabetes. My rosacea is gone. I feel so happy
How do you switch to Whole Foods/organic? I want to go back to being vegan but don’t know what to do anymore because I broke out in a rash and turned out to be allergic to all the vegetables I was eating... squash especially, oranges mushrooms almonds...
Dr. Barnard thank you for the excellent presentation. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been researching over the years to combat this disease. I was eating lots of protein combined with low carbs. Very recently I had a consult with a registered dietician who told me I was eating wrong, needing far less protein, less fat, more carb grams per day. I didn't believe her until the past few days my BGL's have been amazingly stable within a couple points all day. So this presentation really ties the animal fat, 10-w-40 all together with the vegan diet, going there next. Thanks again!
10weeks a go I bought Dr Esselstyn’s book and try to eat as much as closer to his recommendation when I start my A1C was 6 because of my family history I was very concerned, didn’t want to become a diabetic. 10 weeks later my A1C is 5.5 and ate a lot of oats, fruit, legumes and vegetables.
I fell off the plant based wagon a while ago, doctor. This convinced me to get back on track and stay ahead off diabetes and other complications that might arise were I to continue eating dairy. Thank you!
It really helps to stay motivated by watching at least one food documentary, or videos on UA-cam by Dr. Barnard, Dr. Esselen, Markus Rothkranz, etc. a month. Here are some of the best: Food Matters Fed Up Cowspiracy Fat sick & nearly dead The game changers What the health Hungry for change Plan Eat Supersize me Follow people for delicious recipes Markus Rothkranz Cara Brotman Rachel Ama Neto Craves

Just a tip, I have noticed that using WHOLE grains, that means unprocessed millet, kasha, oat groats, helps to curb sugar cravings. And my "treats" are things like carob spirulina nuggets that have seeds in them, maybe one every couple of days, and fruit, I have also noticed that when you cut the refined sugar out of your diet, your taste buds adjust and even bean chili tastes sweet. Wonderful things happen when you eat whole plant foods, it's really quite amazing. Another tip is to use carob instead of cocoa powder, it's a great food, I make a shake with unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of carob powder, half a banana and a scoop of green powder. Tastes like a chocolate shake!
What's your source of fat? Body needs some good fat, but no mention of what kind of fat to eat. I cook with rice bran oil, good source to tocotrienols.
Thanks for your videos!. I had a 13mmol glucose reading last Nov. 2023 and now taking metformin 2x a day. I slowly changed my diet to mostly vegetables, less meat, less carbs and completely removed all sugar & processed foods in my diet. I'm now averaging 5.5mmol in less than 2 months.
Appreciate video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for reversing diabetes minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate finally got cool results with it.
This doctor turned my boyfriend’s diabetes around. He followed his books and DVDS to the t , and never have to even take medication. Of course he also had to exercise, but the pleasure to never have to count calories! Thank you !
Great video Dr. B! I am a plant based doc myself and a huge admirer of your work. One small correction for viewers: at 18:40 he means to say that hypotension is “low blood pressure,” not “low blood sugar.” Stay healthy everyone!
@@patriciamasterson4721 I believe the science actually shows that fats are not good for you in general. In other words, it's the absence of fat that supports good heart health not the other way round, regardless of what "type" of fats. A low fat vegan diet gives the best results for chronic disease. I would suggest listening to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, he is a titan in preventing and reversing heart disease.
@@patriciamasterson4721 eliminate those oils. You don’t need them. No nutritional value and 100% fat. All oils are refined. They’ve been shown to slow down blood flow within minutes of consumption. On the other hand, eating whole olives and avocado and coconut is ok, within reason. Those are Whole Foods with nutritional value (fiber and more). Other good fats are found in whole nuts. You’ll also find fat in soy and other veggies. Just don’t consume oils for the fat (or any other reason). Your cardiovascular system, and waistline, will thank you!
I went from 756 on Jan 26, 2021, to 126 as of today, Nov 7, 2021. For the last 2 months my blood glucose is averaging around 130. I'm living proof that changes in diet alone does work.
My biggest changes were switching from foods that I like that are higher in carbs and sugars to foods that I like that are higher proteins. I like mixed nuts and sardines so when I switched from chips and cookies, I still felt satisfied. I also to a lot of indoor gardening to produce my vegetables. Adding a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon to my oatmeal is very enjoyable. I still don't get a lot of exercise, but my new glucose low is 94 and my A1C is 6.1. My A1C was over 14 in January.
@@drithalkala3556 You should listen to doctors that don't suck up to the Seventh Day Advintist Church. Doctors who tell the truth without being paid by the big companies that you have to buy from for your vitamin B12.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "can diabetes be cured naturally" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Diyenry Subjective Dominance - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great one of a kind guide for discovering how to get rid of type two diabetes without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
I have been in Ketonic diet for a long time, my glucose A1c have dropped very little, after listening to Dr Barnard I am going to try his recommended method.
The fact that you call it ketonic (after doing it for a "long time") would suggest a level of incompetence that may indicate that you're not doing it right.
Such a complete, easy to understand explanation of using diet to treat diabetes. His talking and teaching style is so warm, it's like a healthy hug (imho). Love Dr. Barnard! Thank You. I'm 54, and this year I'm going to get that Denny's Senior Discount (lol) - on salads 😁! My blood test in February reported that I'm pre-diabetic (along with a lot of other not-healthy numbers). I began Intermittent Fasting since 12/28/2021 and have lost 25 lbs. My eating is probably 75% WFPB (Whole Food Plant Based) with 25% of the time trying to make the healthiest choices when I'm eating out or with family/friends in their homes, just want that cookie. Having had a friend who had genetic diabetes only gain weight when she had to add metformin to her insulin shots (she loved cheese, and Dr. B has a great video about cheese and why we crave it and why it's not our friend), who even had weight loss surgery that was supposed to help get rid of her diabetes, or at least return it to a healthier manageable state - but her weight and numbers still increased... I'm so convicted to now, today, draw that line and stop saying 'okay' to foods that are not good for me just to be polite, or to not 'be a hassle' or whatever. This is my health ♥. Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) is also one of my favorites to go to for short, simple and sweet *science-based* Nutrition Fact videos regarding why WFPB is the way to restore our health. Given enough time and the correct fuel, our bodies (most of the time, there are always exceptions because we are individuals) have a fighting chance to be healthy again without using chemical$ and pre$cription$.
If you look at the comments on Shawn Bakers videos (and others like him) there are lots of people claiming that going carnivore cured their diabetes. After watching this, it m wondering if instead of “curing” their diabetes, what they are really doing, by eliminating carbs, if just “masking” diabetes. In other words, what happens if they eat an apple? If their blood sugar spikes and doesn’t come down the way it is supposed to as insulin does its job, then all the claims of carnivore curing people’s diabetes are bunk.
I have been following the diet recommended by Mastering Diabetes. Using a glucose meter and checking 4 times a day as well after 12 hours fast, my glucose levels were never over 100 and my 12 hour fasting was too low for the meter to detect. I am totally amazed. I will continue this diet and daily testing.
Hi Peter; Were you diagnosed with diabetes? Which one if you don't mind me asking. I was think about getting a meter but don't know much about them. Thank you in advance. Fran
@@fbs1917 have you had your blood sugar tested (you need to fast 10-12 hours before blood drawn)? Especially for your A1c level? If you’re prediabetic or diabetic your health insurance may cover the meter and the disposable testing strips and lancets. The insurance company will tell you which brand they’ll pay for, so get one of the ones covered. But you’ll need a doctor’s Rx for insurance to pay. Without the Rx you’ll pay out of pocket full retail, so look for the cheapest meter and more importantly the cheapest strips. You’ll find them in any drug store, usually in front of the pharmacist counter (but the strips may be behind the counter so ask the pharmacist assistant for prices for all box sizes (usually 50 or 100 per box) for each meter.) Each meter uses its own strips. Your blood glucose and/or A1c lab result will dictate how many times a day to test. I’m down to once a day before dinner since my A1c ranges between 5.4-5.8. (I was diagnosed at 9.2.)
Dr Neal Bernard, I wish you the best of the best health, love ❤️ and joy. Ur great human being. I’m so happy to see a human being like you cars about people to that extent !!!!!
During this pandemic, people are panicked buying and hoarding. It's difficult to buy dried beans, frozen veggies, canned fruit etc. I decided to get some large buckets, brought some potting dirt and planted me some kale, tomatoes, collards, Swiss chard, peppers, spinach and carrots, all on my back porch. Inside my apt., I am growing basils, garlic, & other herbs. Just call me the Apartment Farmer😳 🚜.
Why don`t you make a video of what you are growing, many people think they need a garden outside to plant, and it would be helpful for those (like me) who have to deal with pest in the backyard. I was wondering what I could do to combat that
Lady Day, my patio is full too. This is not my first attempt, but this spring/summer I've added two pots of okra, cucumbers and green beans for the first time. I threw in marigolds, vincas, Alissa and zinnia flowers all in pots for pollination assistance and beautification to make staying at home a pleasant scenery. I wish you the best of luck. Don't forget to grow a pot or two of mints so you can sit and enjoy some good tea.
@@lindashankle9645 That's great Linda. I do have mint growing. I use mint in cooking, smoothies and for a cup of tea. I am researching the nutritional value of fresh sprouts.

Thank you for such a great video. 4 months ago I went on a Whole Foods Plant Based eating diet. The results so far have been an eye opener for me. My A1C went from 6.8 tp 6.2. I eliminated Glipizide and my insulin went from 44 units to 20 units. I was able to lose 50 pounds and have eliminated 2 Blood Pressure meds. I am limiting my fat intake to 10% daily and no longer worry about eating carbs. Between your and Dr. John McDougall's videos, both of you have changed my life for the better.

Thank you doctor for your clear and very informative information on how to adopt a healthier diet to hopefully combat diabetes . It's a highly appreciated health education and I will be converting to this encouraging diet!!!
@@brenttasker4046 wait. Debunked? You mean high blood sugar is not due to the insulin not being able to transport the blood glucose into the cells? Thus the sugar remaining in the blood? Then what does cause insulin resistance and diabetes?
I am 76 years of age but I remember my father saying to me when I was in my teens, ‘if you haven’t got your health you have nothing’. Those words have been with me all through my life , so wise and I thank him in my mind for making me aware throughout my life the value of good health. There are many people who simply don’t have good health but I feel strongly that a healthy diet can improve some part of their life. I wish healthy eating was much more clearly defined and as frequent a reminder as the weather forecast.
I have reversed it and I am glad. Now I am learning more and more. We are eating wrong food. WHO should come into the game and shutdown food and sugar industry. This will be a great service to mankind.
@@shepeaking9329 1. Up your vitamin d levels to 40-60 ng/dl, no doctor will tell you 2. Started a herbal supplement at the same time. Found out the spices like turmeric are great. 3. Started a multivitamin named diabetone for diabetes. 4. Some walking and yoga. 5. Reduce bread and eat more raw vegetables. 6. One or 2 cloves of raw garlic, and turmeric is what I take daily. 7. Eat almonds and peanuts are lot And that is it. Numbers started coming down and within a year fasting sugar is around 100.
I had metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar and oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flour less bread, oats, brown rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
@nothing nowhere He's a member of a church that believes meat does naughty things to men, that masterbation is a sin. If you're stupid enough to believe that crap go on listening to this wonderful chap. I'll listen to the hundreds of specialists that know all about good medicine. Have a nice day.
Thanks for very simplified explanation of very complex Issues like Diabetes. I wish it was as simple as it explained. I am not part of any diet tribe and I am not sure no one can offer one size all fit solution. As a 56 years old , diabetic (T2)for over 25 years, tried and failed many diet, I found my personal solution . I got myself a CGM and track my AGP closely. Track any fall and Rise of my BG with any food (Kind and amount ) and activities . And adjust that for the next time. Not eating unless I am hungry and not eat anything comes in box with labels on it. This approach work for me . with my doctor approval , i stopped all my meds including insulin.
This is bananas! I’ve suffered for years with constant hypoglycemia. I’m just now 30 and a great weight. I had to figure out myself that I’m insulin resistant. Everything I was reading was to go keto. It worked so well until I got pregnant. Now I’m struggling so hard to control my blood sugar.. my midwife told me to go vegan!! Thank you for explaining this.
The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped.

OMG THIS BLEW MY MIND! I'm going vegan today ! I've been eating soo much cheese & sugar my whole life & I weight 350 pounds! I'm a Type 2 diabetic I got diagnosed in December 2019 I did my blood sugar yesterday & it was 9.2 ! The highest it's ever been I've been doing keto but I'm going low fat vegan today I didn't eat yet so yay I'm so excited thanks so much!!! ❤️
You may just think you did Keto. Obviously you didn’t do it right. How do you know you were in ketosis. Did you check yourself with a keto meter. Do you know there are lots of junk shit keto meters out there. Some of them read a 10 when you’re actually at zero. You need a kilo meter that has been collaborated with something else so that you know it’s accurate. Some idiot showed you a colorful graph and you fell for his propaganda. I took my A-1 C from 9.8. To 6.4. In 3 months by eating low carbs. Not even keto. You have to read nutritional facts on everything you eat and then know what they all mean. And then you need a CGM so that you have definitive proof of what foods are actually doing to your blood sugar.
Also do consider checking how high your Leptin is or just know it is high being over weight. Maybe try some of the stuff that reduces your leptin since many people did Keto & didn't lose much weight due to their high Leptin or weight set point.
@@NN57143 That's so weird! I lost 24lbs on keto myself in three months, BUT, my cholesterol and triglycerides went up into unhealthy ranges 😔 so I went searching for another way. I started being plant-based three weeks ago and have lost 6 lbs, but my blood sugars haven't been as steady and low as they were on keto, which concerns me as a T2 diabetic. I have to say that I prefer this way of eating over high fat keto, but I'm still disappointed and concerned about the glucose spikes.
I need to watch this video every day. I love your video's. I was doing great (had gone vegan for about 3 weeks) until a week ago and then I couldn't get groceries so I decided to use what I have while I get what I can. You would think everyone was a vegan because I can't even find dried beans, rye flour, or many other foods I had just learned to eat more of! So I started eating meat again because I still had some in my freezer from before I heard about this and I already feel sluggish and tired. You inspire me to try harder. I just hope I can find the right food.
Eating meat will boost your immune system, it contains just about all the nutrients in the right forms and ratios. It has been wrongly vilified by religious groups and environmentalists. There is no science anywhere proving meat causes anything. Barnard is an animal rights activist masquerading as a doctor. He is on a mission to save pigs and cattle, and blatantly twists the truth, and misrepresents studies to fit his agenda. Have a look at him, is that emaciated and estronized frame, pencil neck and hollowed skull signs of a healthy, well nourished man? Wake up. Sickness is staring straight at you.
@@nomnomgamer9882 Then why are you watching this video? I'll argue that eating meat does make me feel worse. Eat what you want and since you are so quick to judge Dr. Barnard's build why not post a pic of you or at least use your name. Troll.
The 7th day Adventists are often studied because they are health conscious, don’t drink alcohol or smoke, and eagerly participate in studies.

I did an interesting and successful experiment with my mother last year using some processed foods to facilitate a change to a 100% plant-based diet. My 82 year old mother finally had a follow up appointment with her physician which had been delayed for months because her doctor was in charge of treating Covid patients in the hospital and in nursing homes and was not able to meet with her. She had a full blood panel taken for this visit and her doctor was astounded at the progress she had made during the previous year. She is now no longer diabetic and she was instructed to stop taking insulin, after she had been taking it for more than a decade. Her doctor also praised her kidney function which had never looked better. Also, she couldn't believe that her total cholesterol was only 139, with LDL of 67, HDL of 60, and triglycerides of 82 which is great. According to the Framingham Heart Study, these numbers mean that she is virtually "heart attack proof" as many plant-based doctors have noted. Her physician mentioned that she is reconsidering the diet for her family based on this experience. She also asked my mom to share her experience with our community after the pandemic. All of these results are exactly what I had hoped would occur. Here is the menu that I had developed for her to try to mimic what she was used to eating -> www.greensmoothieparty.com/gsp-s-mother-s-menu.html - While this menu is not a pure whole foods plant-based diet, it appears to be health promoting enough to work for her. Health is Power!!!
Thank you. Best explanation ever with suggested changes needed in the most enticing way. First time I’ve actually to become responsible for my condition 😀
Thank you for this video Dr. Barnard. A few things that came to my mind during the lecture: 1- Vegans diet are unsustainable because theyre not satisfying (few make it to the 2 years mark). Vegans can only get b12 through supplements (even nutritional yeast is artificially enriched), or expensive algeas. Nothing is wrong with eating a steak or beef liver every once in a while to refill the body's reserves naturally and benefits from the other nutrients and minerals in these foods. 2- No mention of lifestyle interventions like physical activity or muscle mass/body composition. If you exercise, you can afford to eat more saturated fats through meat. It will compensate and you will enjoy the taste and benefits of meat. Exercising muscles are metabolically very active and will protect you not only from falls and injuries, but are also great tool to compensate from higher sugary food intake. 3- Olive oil is a damn good ally to have for your health, it's not your average fat source. 4- Some people on a keto diet have normal insulin sensitivity even if they consume mostly fats. We cannot talk about diet only, life is a whole. Exercise is a non-negociable necessity for health any way, so better chose a diet that you enjoy and exercise will compensate downsides (up to a certain point of course , it cannot do miracles if you drink 2 litres of coca-cola every day) I don't want to go beyond my knowledge, but if you have a decent metabolic flexibility in the first place, i'm pretty sure you won't end up with intramyocellular fat, as the fat in the cell will be oxidized and used as energy sources instead of being stored. Look up on the web for ways to improve your metabolic lexibility. Research papers mentionned (those I could find): pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19339401/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14960743/
@@donnasmith461 Hi Donna Smith, it so kind of you as to ask. To be honest, It has been a struggle because I’ve been dealing with family issues for a while. I’ve done it and then not. But in the last two weeks I’ve had lost 6 lbs because I decided to order prepared food from a company that delivery’s vegan food and it’s help so much. My time was limited to preparing food. My son said I need to take time for me and not so much others for now. And that’s what I’m doing. ❤️👍🏼🙏🏼 thanks you. Hope to here from you.
@@renev8223 that’s excellent, well done for choosing you. , I recently changed my lifestyle also eating habits. I would say my diet is 80% plant based, but I have cut out sugar also wheat, it has been life changing for me. In 13 weeks I have reversed my T2 Diabetes, main thing is, I wake up, virtually no pain.
@@donnasmith461 So happy for you Donna, if you can I can. I have an appointment with my doctor in two weeks hopefully some of my levels would have dropped. I’m feeling different now, that’s something I haven’t felt in a long time. I would love to stay in touch with you if that’s ok. Your are a incentive in reaching my goals. Thanks for your inspiration, really appreciate that. We will conquer. ❤️🙏🏼
I love your demonstration of the fats (from dairy, oils & meats) clogging up the cells that makes diabetics insulin resistance. Thank you and all of the Whole Foods Plantbased Doctors for giving hope and the means in which to reverse the progression of Diabetes. I am a Diabetic terrified at this time of the Corona virus epidemic. People with underlying health issues are most at risk.
I have diabetes type 2 thanks for amazing important message. I thougth olive extra virgen oil it's was good 😞 well time to change My diet. Thanks You so much Myriam
I am on warfarin because of the DVT that chemotherapy caused. At first I was trying to limit my greens but I was unhappy with what I was eating so I talked to my oncologist's nurse about it and she said we could adjust my dosage based on my diet. Thank goodness! I love broccoli and kale too much to not have it.
Hypotension... as you know... is low BP... NOT low blood sugar. Please give a listen to the section starting at about 18:30. You misspoke, and you may want to edit your audio to correct the mistake.
I’ve cut down my intake of red meat and increased more plant-based foods. If I do eat red meat, I make sure it’s from cows that are grass fed but even that is far and few between. I eat mostly salads (arugula) and wild-caught salmon. Processed meats I don’t eat anymore.
I felt Keto tipped me over into Insulin resistance. things got worst for me when I did it for about 6 months but overall 3 years on and off. Now i understand why the extra fat were coating my cells.
High fat Low carb diet is definitely a quick temporary way to control sugar with immediate results. It is a survival diet and body works in emergency mode. But it is not good for you over a very long period of time. It is not good to make your body work in na emergency mode for a long periods of time. Low fat or healthy fat, plant based diet is an optimal diet for living longer. And a diet for long period of time. The results kick in slower but a diet that someone can follow lifelong. If someone is over weight and diabetic, it may not be a bad idea to follow healthy keto diet and then once you lower your weight and diabetic in control and then switch to healthy fat plant based diet for long-term health. But we humans hate change it is not easy to switch from high fat low carbohydrate diet to healthy plant based diet. That's why it is good to make the change at rhe beginning that you can continue life long. Simply put what you eat when you are unwell is not the food you should eat when you are doing well. It is common sense that we eat food that heals the condition but once you healed you need a different diet from falling unwell again. If we look at food like medicine it will make sense. We take pills when we are unwell but there is no need for it when we have become well. Hope this makes some sense.
@@bertdog7639 I Have been doing low carb. And I already came off half my meds already. Weather it’s Keto or not dosen’t really matter to me. I can see the results in my A1C. and on my CGM.
New Study released 08/20/2024. Regularly eating red (beef and pork) and processed meats in particular is associated with a higher risk of TYPE 2 DIABETES, according to an analysis of data from 31 study cohorts published Tuesday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.
I reversed my diabetes by going KETO. Type 2 diabetes should be called "Carbohydrate Toxicity Syndrome" Elinminate Carbs and Seed oils like corn oil etc.
You‘re my role model 😊. Before I even knew you I had same ideas how I want to treat patients (I am going to become a doctor, but it‘s still a very long way). I really like your work and what you achieved 🙂. Hopefully I can come to the USA in the future (during medical school) 🙂🌱! The only problem is, that you can not help everyone and that a lot of people make fun of it 🙄. They will never know how they COULD feel.
Your role model looks like a holocaust survivor? His emaciated and estronized frame, pencil neck and gaunt skull are signs of a healthy, well nourished man? Wake up. Barnard is an animal rights activist masquerading as a doctor. He is on a mission to save pigs and cattle, and blatantly twists the truth, and misrepresents studies to fit his agenda. Like he is in this video.
@@nomnomgamer9882 so you think carbs make people fat and obese (you falesly believe that Americans ate high carb low fat and got fat), and at the same time you think they make you so lean that you become "malnourished".( im 5'8" and 125 pounds) Have you made up your mind? Do carbs make you fat or do they make you lean?
Processed foods, the combination of grains and cheap fats from seed oils made Americans fat. You will lose weight by following either a low fat high carb, or a high fat low carb regime. The latter is more nutrient dense and more indicated for humans going by our ancestry and digestive system. If the low fat diet completely excludes animal fats and proteins, as Barnard recommends, you must supplement heavily or else run into life threatening deficiencies.
@Mister Jones you are clueless. The SAD diet was NEVER NEVER NEVER low fat. The SAD diet has always been high fat and low fiber. That has nothing in common with a low fat high fiber diet. The latter prevents and reverses Type 2 diabetes
Wow..no one could ever explain insulin resistance to me..now I understand..thank you Dr. Fuhrman now I know and now I know how and what to eat to lower my A1C..this video was an eye opener and AMAZING!
Thank you Dr. Barnard, for caring and proving such great information to make us healthier. I am moving towards plant based diet. I quit smoking over a year ago, stopped eating sugary processed foods, eating more fruits & vegetables and no longer eating red meat, chicken, pork & fish but still eating eggs once or twice a week. On my way to healthy living. Already lost 20 lbs.
Thank you Dr. B! That was quite informative and I was pleasantly surprised when you stated that metabolism increases when we become vegan! It explains a lot! ♥️🌱♥️
@@MindVersusMisery You don’t need to be a scientist to debunk Barnard, he destroys himself by making idiotic assumptions, and joining imaginary dots in ways characteristic of a low IQ. A layman would destroy him in a debate on nutrition, let alone someone well versed in the research.
Hi Doc ! Thank you so much 😊 well understood you speak with so much knowledge and compassion thank you again and this is coming from a diabetic critical care nurse thanks to you and your lecturer I will be on my way to great health thank you again .
1 he may not know this due to it not being apart of their training. 2. they may wish to keep u hooked on meds & doc visits. If U get well they lose money as do the pharmacies.
what is the correct research for insulin resistance? because as per other researcher show that insulin resistance is caused due to high amount sugar and this video is saying due to fat and good cholesterol is blocking the cell. as for me personally, i fix that IR with low carbs high fat diet.
I am so lucky to find this way of eating. I was spiking some high numbers, and feared I was headed for diabetes. Was a vegetarian, but got on the wfpb plan, lost 80 lbs, and the problem went bye bye. Today, I know what to do to maintain health. And it's delicious.
Such a wealth of information Dr. Barnard! Thank you very much for endorsing this research based diet. People need to be conscious because of the high morbidity of this condition. I got curious about you after watching Jeanette Schumacher talk about her health and she mentioned your name. After watching you speak on a Zoom interview "I got hooked." Be watching more of you and hoping to grab one of your books. You have a similarity to Robert Redford.
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
Brian
Type 1 diabetes is common at this age
Please get your daughter checked
I agree. Get your daughter checked. My son could not get enough water, constantly in the bathroom and lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks. He spent last weekend in the ICU. Very sick. The hospital released him before his levels were evened out, but they decided to send him home because the hospital was so full of COVID. He is in College and his roommates had COVID. He now has COVID on top of his new Type 1 diagnosis. I am not terribly sure why he has diabetes as our family is prominently low blood sugar. He also has always had low blood sugar, So confused as to how this is possible? The only significant thing he did was get first vaccine 7 months ago, got second vaccine 2 weeks before he ended up in ICU. I am not anti-vax. People can do what they want. But I am struggling with the fact this happened around the time he got the vaccine. Also, I am not a MAGA hat person, not Trump signs or stickers…but in May 2020 Trump was trying to pass bill to make insulin and epi pens affordable. As low as $100 a month, people are dying. Biden(Mr healthcare is a right) what a joke of a human, stopped the bill dead in its tracks. Does that sound like a man who cares about healthcare? I say not. He lied to get his position. Look it up. That happened. Children, small children with juvenile diabetes whose families have to struggle to find a way to get life saving meds for their children. My son’s prescription for 3 weeks was $1700. His long acting shot is not covered at all, ever. His short acting shots have to be pre approved. Diabetics have gone back into keto acidosis waiting for approval. I have a very large insurance company. Any other meds he may need I have to pray they cover. The government, pharmaceutical companies…they do not care about diabetics. No one can tell me different and really hope no one argues, because this past week has been a nightmare. To add to that, my son was legally handicapped capped at birth. Deformed foot, 10 surgeries before 12. Such a sweet boy he would never let me out his handicapped sign 🪧 n the car so we could park close so it wouldn’t hurt him to walk. He used
to say, others need it more. I haven’t picked political sides…kind of thought they were all they same. Again, I am a
Middle class single mom, with 3 boys at home, one in college and one graduated with a master’s. I cannot afford the horrible grocery prices, the outrageous gasoline and now I find out my son is sick and the government and pharmaceutical companies do not care of our children and parents die. They can spend millions on a vaccine, but can’t cut cost of insulin? Who in their right mind would agree that’s ok? Who? Average cost in the nation for insulin with great insurance and your insulin covered is $1000 a month. That does not include needles glucometer, glucose strips, the many doctors appointment. Just the insulin. And btw, while they are yelling about vaccine, masks mandates, one of the worst co-morbity for COVID is diabetes. But Biden blocked the bill that would save limbs, lives of millions of diabetics. He says get the vaccine out of love for your neighbor, but hey, he doesn’t care about the third worst comorbity COVID kills. He literally killed people when he blocked that bill. Again, not anti vax, until 2 weeks ago. Complete utter hypocrisy. Disgusting. And none is even aware he did that. I only knew trying to understand my son’s chronic illness. How can you trust one word. How? It’s revolting. I literally puked and cried when I found out what he did. My son who wants to contribute to humanity, has more morals in his thumbnail then Biden. I am one of the idiots that believed he would change healthcare, not literally mame and kill diabetics who cannot afford their medication. Again, we are supposed to take the Jab to save people like my son, while in the meantime he made it hard for one of the first group to die from COVID by( diabetics) to just live. Think about that. Research and make that man be gone, gone, gone in 2024. Actually, he won’t even know when 2024 is, so we probably don’t have to worry. I am going to spend every day letting every person I meet know what he did to our diabetic community. The ones he pretends to protect with the jab. He literally killed and named diabetics that can’t afford thousand of dollars
A MONTH and STILL talks about better healthcare. Sick and evil. Sorry this is so bitter. It was a devastating week. I do not forget. And I will write letters, spread the word…no more. Absolutely no more of that crap out of his mouth. My son is strong, he will overcome(he has the worst kind of diabetes)…and the demented old man..he doesn’t care who lives or dies. Don’t be fooled. I certainly was. He lost a child. Anyone with a soul would have empathy. He is completely entirely void of that emotion, morals and most importantly cognitive function. But he kept his 47 years of useless evil intact. Didn’t he?

Don't get disheartened. I went through this 3 years back (T2D) and am on the mend now with an LCHF and exercise regime. Wish you and your son the best 🙂
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
This dude is either a puppet or quack. He’s using his credibility as a phd to spread stupid nonsense. It’s super easy to be healthy. Eat a high protein and fiber diet and take useful supplements, vitamins, and peptides. Dismiss anyone who says dumb stuff like meat is more likely to cause diabetes than sugar. Sugar should be treated like a drug, in moderation it’s okay but don’t be a sugar addict.
Look at 83 and me. Her son has the A1C of a non diabetic and he’s an athlete!!!
I'm calling BS
Some weird bot activity
I am an advanced cancer survivor that after after chemotherapy treatments I ended up with type 1.5 diabetes treated as type 2. My wife purchased your books and we both eat strictly low-fat vegan meals. I have been able to 100% stop taking Metformin and cholesterol meds, I have normal sugar readings. Many heartfelt thanks for this life changing information.
I was pre-diabetic and had cholesterol going up into the 220’s. My doctor wanted to start meds. Through a blessing at that time, we switched our diet to plant based to cure our daughters auto-immune disease (diagnosed generalized MG, through blood testing and clinical). I was eating “lean” white meats and lots of fish at the time and thought I was eating healthy. I switched my diet in support of our daughter (including juicing) and my cholesterol numbers (total) went to 145 and my good cholesterol ratio greatly improved within 2 months. I continued to loose the extra 50 lbs i was carrying around over 6 months but was eating all I wanted in vegetables/fruit/whole grains/legumes with no attention to caloric intake. This saved my life!

That is so awesome! Thank you for sharing your testimony. Congrats!! This story is inspirational for me. I also pray that you and your family are continuing to feel well with great health. Lots of Love to you guys. 🙏🏾
May I ask what was your diet in general when you were eating lean white meats and lots of fish? Did you eat processed foods? Grains? Starchy foods? Sodas or other sugary stuff?
I wonder whether your diet was totally natural (meaning that it came from nature (meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish)) or there were processed foods? Or maybe the other kinds of foods that I've mentioned?
I'm asking about this because for some reason, quite a lot of KETO folks are having success and they don't necessarily eat vegan diet.
Thank you so much. I feel like a new person. I can eat all the time losing weight like crazy. In just six weeks i no longer need to take medicine for high cholesterol and diabetes. My rosacea is gone. I feel so happy

@@adrianfernandez4405 low fat high carb vegan stuff like a lot of green stuff and fruits
Dr. Barnard thank you for the excellent presentation. I am a type 2 diabetic and have been researching over the years to combat this disease. I was eating lots of protein combined with low carbs. Very recently I had a consult with a registered dietician who told me I was eating wrong, needing far less protein, less fat, more carb grams per day. I didn't believe her until the past few days my BGL's have been amazingly stable within a couple points all day. So this presentation really ties the animal fat, 10-w-40 all together with the vegan diet, going there next. Thanks again!
10weeks a go I bought Dr Esselstyn’s book and try to eat as much as closer to his recommendation when I start my A1C was 6 because of my family history I was very concerned, didn’t want to become a diabetic. 10 weeks later my A1C is 5.5 and ate a lot of oats, fruit, legumes and vegetables.

I was a fat vegan following him, lost all my weight following Dr McDougall & Chef A.J.
Just a tip, I have noticed that using WHOLE grains, that means unprocessed millet, kasha, oat groats, helps to curb sugar cravings. And my "treats" are things like carob spirulina nuggets that have seeds in them, maybe one every couple of days, and fruit, I have also noticed that when you cut the refined sugar out of your diet, your taste buds adjust and even bean chili tastes sweet. Wonderful things happen when you eat whole plant foods, it's really quite amazing. Another tip is to use carob instead of cocoa powder, it's a great food, I make a shake with unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of carob powder, half a banana and a scoop of green powder. Tastes like a chocolate shake!
Thank you for these great tips!
Vegan over 8.5 years and am familiar with Dr Barnard's work for year but this video is fantastic perfect for not clinicians looking for information.

Does vegan diet provide enough good fat to support the heart? I use cold pressed avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil?
But our population is so gluten sensitive. Isn't that from grains? I eat sprouted grain only, since Kaiser told me I was allergic to gluten.
@@patriciamasterson4721 I believe the science actually shows that fats are not good for you in general. In other words, it's the absence of fat that supports good heart health not the other way round, regardless of what "type" of fats. A low fat vegan diet gives the best results for chronic disease. I would suggest listening to Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, he is a titan in preventing and reversing heart disease.
I noticed this mistake! Glad someone else did.
@@patriciamasterson4721 eliminate those oils. You don’t need them. No nutritional value and 100% fat. All oils are refined. They’ve been shown to slow down blood flow within minutes of consumption.
On the other hand, eating whole olives and avocado and coconut is ok, within reason. Those are Whole Foods with nutritional value (fiber and more). Other good fats are found in whole nuts. You’ll also find fat in soy and other veggies. Just don’t consume oils for the fat (or any other reason). Your cardiovascular system, and waistline, will thank you!

Can you tell me please, what is your diet?
My biggest changes were switching from foods that I like that are higher in carbs and sugars to foods that I like that are higher proteins. I like mixed nuts and sardines so when I switched from chips and cookies, I still felt satisfied. I also to a lot of indoor gardening to produce my vegetables.

Excellent lecture, Doc! The picture on fat / insulin, is very effective to understanding this phenomenon. Thanks!!
I have been in Ketonic diet for a long time, my glucose A1c have dropped very little, after listening to Dr Barnard I am going to try his recommended method.
The fact that you call it ketonic (after doing it for a "long time") would suggest a level of incompetence that may indicate that you're not doing it right.
I just purchased two of his books and can say so many people are actually using his methods in their books and programs and they are highly effective.
Such a complete, easy to understand explanation of using diet to treat diabetes. His talking and teaching style is so warm, it's like a healthy hug (imho). Love Dr. Barnard! Thank You.
I'm 54, and this year I'm going to get that Denny's Senior Discount (lol) - on salads 😁! My blood test in February reported that I'm pre-diabetic (along with a lot of other not-healthy numbers). I began Intermittent Fasting since 12/28/2021 and have lost 25 lbs. My eating is probably 75% WFPB (Whole Food Plant Based) with 25% of the time trying to make the healthiest choices when I'm eating out or with family/friends in their homes, just want that cookie. Having had a friend who had genetic diabetes only gain weight when she had to add metformin to her insulin shots (she loved cheese, and Dr. B has a great video about cheese and why we crave it and why it's not our friend), who even had weight loss surgery that was supposed to help get rid of her diabetes, or at least return it to a healthier manageable state - but her weight and numbers still increased... I'm so convicted to now, today, draw that line and stop saying 'okay' to foods that are not good for me just to be polite, or to not 'be a hassle' or whatever. This is my health ♥.
Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) is also one of my favorites to go to for short, simple and sweet *science-based* Nutrition Fact videos regarding why WFPB is the way to restore our health. Given enough time and the correct fuel, our bodies (most of the time, there are always exceptions because we are individuals) have a fighting chance to be healthy again without using chemical$ and pre$cription$.
If you look at the comments on Shawn Bakers videos (and others like him) there are lots of people claiming that going carnivore cured their diabetes. After watching this, it m wondering if instead of “curing” their diabetes, what they are really doing, by eliminating carbs, if just “masking” diabetes. In other words, what happens if they eat an apple? If their blood sugar spikes and doesn’t come down the way it is supposed to as insulin does its job, then all the claims of carnivore curing people’s diabetes are bunk.
They would fail an oral glucose tolerance test
I have been following the diet recommended by Mastering Diabetes. Using a glucose meter and checking 4 times a day as well after 12 hours fast, my glucose levels were never over 100 and my 12 hour fasting was too low for the meter to detect. I am totally amazed. I will continue this diet and daily testing.
Hi Peter; Were you diagnosed with diabetes? Which one if you don't mind me asking. I was think about getting a meter but don't know much about them. Thank you in advance. Fran
Could you please share your diet here
@@fbs1917 have you had your blood sugar tested (you need to fast 10-12 hours before blood drawn)? Especially for your A1c level? If you’re prediabetic or diabetic your health insurance may cover the meter and the disposable testing strips and lancets. The insurance company will tell you which brand they’ll pay for, so get one of the ones covered.
But you’ll need a doctor’s Rx for insurance to pay. Without the Rx you’ll pay out of pocket full retail, so look for the cheapest meter and more importantly the cheapest strips. You’ll find them in any drug store, usually in front of the pharmacist counter (but the strips may be behind the counter so ask the pharmacist assistant for prices for all box sizes (usually 50 or 100 per box) for each meter.) Each meter uses its own strips.
Your blood glucose and/or A1c lab result will dictate how many times a day to test. I’m down to once a day before dinner since my A1c ranges between 5.4-5.8. (I was diagnosed at 9.2.)
Dr Neal Bernard, I wish you the best of the best health, love ❤️ and joy. Ur great human being. I’m so happy to see a human being like you cars about people to that extent !!!!!
During this pandemic, people are panicked buying and hoarding. It's difficult to buy dried beans, frozen veggies, canned fruit etc.
I decided to get some large buckets, brought some potting dirt and planted me some kale, tomatoes, collards, Swiss chard, peppers, spinach and carrots, all on my back porch. Inside my apt., I am growing basils, garlic, & other herbs. Just call me the Apartment Farmer😳 🚜.
That’s awesome. Thank you for the inspiration, Lady Day. Good luck w/ your garden!
Why don`t you make a video of what you are growing, many people think they need a garden outside to plant, and it would be helpful for those (like me) who have to deal with pest in the backyard. I was wondering what I could do to combat that
Lady Day, my patio is full too. This is not my first attempt, but this spring/summer I've added two pots of okra, cucumbers and green beans for the first time. I threw in marigolds, vincas, Alissa and zinnia flowers all in pots for pollination assistance and beautification to make staying at home a pleasant scenery. I wish you the best of luck. Don't forget to grow a pot or two of mints so you can sit and enjoy some good tea.
@@lindashankle9645 That's great Linda. I do have mint growing. I use mint in cooking, smoothies and for a cup of tea. I am researching the nutritional value of fresh sprouts.

Thank you for such a great video. 4 months ago I went on a Whole Foods Plant Based eating diet. The results so far have been an eye opener for me. My A1C went from 6.8 tp 6.2. I eliminated Glipizide and my insulin went from 44 units to 20 units. I was able to lose 50 pounds and have eliminated 2 Blood Pressure meds. I am limiting my fat intake to 10% daily and no longer worry about eating carbs. Between your and Dr. John McDougall's videos, both of you have changed my life for the better.

Another guy who explains diabetes really well is Dr. Jason Fung 😊 He's also very scientific but can explain it in layman's terms.
@@brenttasker4046 wait. Debunked? You mean high blood sugar is not due to the insulin not being able to transport the blood glucose into the cells? Thus the sugar remaining in the blood? Then what does cause insulin resistance and diabetes?
I am 76 years of age but I remember my father saying to me when I was in my teens, ‘if you haven’t got your health you have nothing’. Those words have been with me all through my life , so wise and I thank him in my mind for making me aware throughout my life the value of good health. There are many people who simply don’t have good health but I feel strongly that a healthy diet can improve some part of their life. I wish healthy eating was much more clearly defined and as frequent a reminder as the weather forecast.
Thank u !
Yes I am a diabetic and over 60. Thank you Doctor Barnard
What diet you follow
I have reversed it and I am glad. Now I am learning more and more. We are eating wrong food. WHO should come into the game and shutdown food and sugar industry. This will be a great service to mankind.
How did u reversed i have type 2 diabetes
@@shepeaking9329 1. Up your vitamin d levels to 40-60 ng/dl, no doctor will tell you
2. Started a herbal supplement at the same time. Found out the spices like turmeric are great.
3. Started a multivitamin named diabetone for diabetes.
4. Some walking and yoga.
5. Reduce bread and eat more raw vegetables.
6. One or 2 cloves of raw garlic, and turmeric is what I take daily.
7. Eat almonds and peanuts are lot
And that is it. Numbers started coming down and within a year fasting sugar is around 100.
I had metabolic syndrome (obesity, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar). I went whole food plant based no sugar and oil and low salt and I lost 65 pounds, all my conditions greatly improved, my gums stopped bleeding, and erections and energy returned. I used to have an appetite that was never satisfied; whole foods cured it. I no longer use a sleep apnea machine. Finally, the food is cheap-Beans, lentils, sprouted flour less bread, oats, brown rice, potatoes and seasonal apples. Also, I save money by not having to buy pills or visit the Doctor. I am thankful to all the vegans who suffered attacks to reveal the truth to me.
I said it before and I will keep saying it again, dr Barnard is my version if a rock star. LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for very simplified explanation of very complex Issues like Diabetes. I wish it was as simple as it explained. I am not part of any diet tribe and I am not sure no one can offer one size all fit solution. As a 56 years old , diabetic (T2)for over 25 years, tried and failed many diet, I found my personal solution . I got myself a CGM and track my AGP closely. Track any fall and Rise of my BG with any food (Kind and amount ) and activities . And adjust that for the next time. Not eating unless I am hungry and not eat anything comes in box with labels on it. This approach work for me . with my doctor approval , i stopped all my meds including insulin.
This is bananas! I’ve suffered for years with constant hypoglycemia. I’m just now 30 and a great weight. I had to figure out myself that I’m insulin resistant. Everything I was reading was to go keto. It worked so well until I got pregnant. Now I’m struggling so hard to control my blood sugar.. my midwife told me to go vegan!! Thank you for explaining this.
Thanks for this info doctor. I will go on a plant based diet because I'm fed up of using insulin 15 years now. 4 times a day
If your blood sugar drops on the new diet see your doc as he may need to lower your insulin dosages.
The BROAD study is a study of the Whole Food plant based diet: A randomized controlled trial (The Gold Standard of Studies) The WFPB group had a self-reported increased quality of life, they decreased their medication and blood glucose and their cholesterol dropped. The plant-based group had left the 3-month study 19 pounds lighter, but at 6 months were down about 27 lbs.
Thank you Dr. Barnard for your explanation about Diabetes. With some plant-based recipes I am on my way to better health.
Fantastic presentation. Many thanks, Doctor.
Thank you sir for taking out your time caring to explain
I am doing this and it WORKS!!!! My Cholesterol has dropped OVER 50% in 4 weeks! Om on my way Thanks Dr Barnard!!

Dr Bernard. The best of the best for u , ur family and loved ones in this new year and many years to come. Great eye opening short talk where my diet never gonna be the same. I listened to u and hundred more through the years now it hit me like a storm that ur absolutely right on the dot.
OMG THIS BLEW MY MIND! I'm going vegan today ! I've been eating soo much cheese & sugar my whole life & I weight 350 pounds! I'm a Type 2 diabetic I got diagnosed in December 2019 I did my blood sugar yesterday & it was 9.2 ! The highest it's ever been I've been doing keto but I'm going low fat vegan today I didn't eat yet so yay I'm so excited thanks so much!!! ❤️
You may just think you did Keto. Obviously you didn’t do it right. How do you know you were in ketosis. Did you check yourself with a keto meter. Do you know there are lots of junk shit keto meters out there. Some of them read a 10 when you’re actually at zero. You need a kilo meter that has been collaborated with something else so that you know it’s accurate. Some idiot showed you a colorful graph and you fell for his propaganda. I took my A-1 C from 9.8. To 6.4. In 3 months by eating low carbs. Not even keto. You have to read nutritional facts on everything you eat and then know what they all mean. And then you need a CGM so that you have definitive proof of what foods are actually doing to your blood sugar.
@@SD-ir1vf RUDE
Also do consider checking how high your Leptin is or just know it is high being over weight. Maybe try some of the stuff that reduces your leptin since many people did Keto & didn't lose much weight due to their high Leptin or weight set point.
Or just stop cheating on your diet.
Are you on vegan now?! How are you feeling? Hope that you’re on good healthy following dr. Barnard
Thanks, Great Information and Delivery for Easy Learning...
He's getting paid by all the companies that don't pay tax and you're falling for it.

From keto to Dr Barnard!!!! It worked! Thank you 🙏
I’d love to hear your story!
I blew up on keto! It was really gross!
@@NN57143 What do you mean you blew up? It made you gain weight? Are you ok now? If yes, is it because of going plant based?
@@JessikaTPQ I mean I gained a lot of weight trying out keto. It was gross and SO not my way. Whenever I have been plant-based I have felt great.
@@NN57143 That's so weird! I lost 24lbs on keto myself in three months, BUT, my cholesterol and triglycerides went up into unhealthy ranges 😔 so I went searching for another way. I started being plant-based three weeks ago and have lost 6 lbs, but my blood sugars haven't been as steady and low as they were on keto, which concerns me as a T2 diabetic. I have to say that I prefer this way of eating over high fat keto, but I'm still disappointed and concerned about the glucose spikes.
You are doing a great service. God bless you always.
I need to watch this video every day. I love your video's. I was doing great (had gone vegan for about 3 weeks) until a week ago and then I couldn't get groceries so I decided to use what I have while I get what I can. You would think everyone was a vegan because I can't even find dried beans, rye flour, or many other foods I had just learned to eat more of! So I started eating meat again because I still had some in my freezer from before I heard about this and I already feel sluggish and tired. You inspire me to try harder. I just hope I can find the right food.
Yeah all these "low carb" folks abandoned their diets 😆😆 where's all the pasta?
Eating meat will boost your immune system, it contains just about all the nutrients in the right forms and ratios. It has been wrongly vilified by religious groups and environmentalists. There is no science anywhere proving meat causes anything. Barnard is an animal rights activist masquerading as a doctor. He is on a mission to save pigs and cattle, and blatantly twists the truth, and misrepresents studies to fit his agenda. Have a look at him, is that emaciated and estronized frame, pencil neck and hollowed skull signs of a healthy, well nourished man? Wake up. Sickness is staring straight at you.
@@nomnomgamer9882 Then why are you watching this video? I'll argue that eating meat does make me feel worse. Eat what you want and since you are so quick to judge Dr. Barnard's build why not post a pic of you or at least use your name. Troll.

I did an interesting and successful experiment with my mother last year using some processed foods to facilitate a change to a 100% plant-based diet. My 82 year old mother finally had a follow up appointment with her physician which had been delayed for months because her doctor was in charge of treating Covid patients in the hospital and in nursing homes and was not able to meet with her. She had a full blood panel taken for this visit and her doctor was astounded at the progress she had made during the previous year. She is now no longer diabetic and she was instructed to stop taking insulin, after she had been taking it for more than a decade. Her doctor also praised her kidney function which had never looked better. Also, she couldn't believe that her total cholesterol was only 139, with LDL of 67, HDL of 60, and triglycerides of 82 which is great. According to the Framingham Heart Study, these numbers mean that she is virtually "heart attack proof" as many plant-based doctors have noted.
Her physician mentioned that she is reconsidering the diet for her family based on this experience.
She also asked my mom to share her experience with our community after the pandemic. All of these results are exactly what I had hoped would occur. Here is the menu that I had developed for her to try to mimic what she was used to eating -> www.greensmoothieparty.com/gsp-s-mother-s-menu.html
- While this menu is not a pure whole foods plant-based diet, it appears to be health promoting enough to work for her. Health is Power!!!
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing that. I may share that example with my classes.

Thank God for this man, Neal Barnard.
Thank you. Best explanation ever with suggested changes needed in the most enticing way. First time I’ve actually to become responsible for my condition 😀
Thank you for this video Dr. Barnard. A few things that came to my mind during the lecture:
1- Vegans diet are unsustainable because theyre not satisfying (few make it to the 2 years mark). Vegans can only get b12 through supplements (even nutritional yeast is artificially enriched), or expensive algeas. Nothing is wrong with eating a steak or beef liver every once in a while to refill the body's reserves naturally and benefits from the other nutrients and minerals in these foods.
2- No mention of lifestyle interventions like physical activity or muscle mass/body composition. If you exercise, you can afford to eat more saturated fats through meat. It will compensate and you will enjoy the taste and benefits of meat. Exercising muscles are metabolically very active and will protect you not only from falls and injuries, but are also great tool to compensate from higher sugary food intake.
3- Olive oil is a damn good ally to have for your health, it's not your average fat source.
4- Some people on a keto diet have normal insulin sensitivity even if they consume mostly fats. We cannot talk about diet only, life is a whole. Exercise is a non-negociable necessity for health any way, so better chose a diet that you enjoy and exercise will compensate downsides (up to a certain point of course , it cannot do miracles if you drink 2 litres of coca-cola every day) I don't want to go beyond my knowledge, but if you have a decent metabolic flexibility in the first place, i'm pretty sure you won't end up with intramyocellular fat, as the fat in the cell will be oxidized and used as energy sources instead of being stored. Look up on the web for ways to improve your metabolic lexibility.

Hypotension... as you know... is low BP... NOT low blood sugar. Please give a listen to the section starting at about 18:30. You misspoke, and you may want to edit your audio to correct the mistake.
My doctor has been telling me wrong. I'm gonna try this and see if it works. Wow. Never had a explanation like this ever......thank you
Regular docs spend 1 hour on nutrition! All post sickness and meds!
I cut out sugar and carbs out of my diet and my A1C went from 6.4 down to 6.0. Glucose levels were at 80.
I’ve cut down my intake of red meat and increased more plant-based foods. If I do eat red meat, I make sure it’s from cows that are grass fed but even that is far and few between. I eat mostly salads (arugula) and wild-caught salmon. Processed meats I don’t eat anymore.
Well explained the concept of Diabetes. Thank you Dr.
I felt Keto tipped me over into Insulin resistance. things got worst for me when I did it for about 6 months but overall 3 years on and off. Now i understand why the extra fat were coating my cells.
OK doc, so why have I slashed my daily blood sugar tests on high fat/low carb and my A1C has gone from 6.5-7 down to 5.4????
High fat Low carb diet is definitely a quick temporary way to control sugar with immediate results. It is a survival diet and body works in emergency mode. But it is not good for you over a very long period of time. It is not good to make your body work in na emergency mode for a long periods of time.
Low fat or healthy fat, plant based diet is an optimal diet for living longer. And a diet for long period of time. The results kick in slower but a diet that someone can follow lifelong.
If someone is over weight and diabetic, it may not be a bad idea to follow healthy keto diet and then once you lower your weight and diabetic in control and then switch to healthy fat plant based diet for long-term health.
But we humans hate change it is not easy to switch from high fat low carbohydrate diet to healthy plant based diet. That's why it is good to make the change at rhe beginning that you can continue life long.
Simply put what you eat when you are unwell is not the food you should eat when you are doing well. It is common sense that we eat food that heals the condition but once you healed you need a different diet from falling unwell again.
If we look at food like medicine it will make sense. We take pills when we are unwell but there is no need for it when we have become well.
Hope this makes some sense.

Researchers analyzed data from nearly 2 million people across 20 countries.

Thank you Doctor. Very helpful info. Just subscribed.
You‘re my role model 😊. Before I even knew you I had same ideas how I want to treat patients (I am going to become a doctor, but it‘s still a very long way). I really like your work and what you achieved 🙂. Hopefully I can come to the USA in the future (during medical school) 🙂🌱!

Like he is in this video.
@@nomnomgamer9882 so you think carbs make people fat and obese (you falesly believe that Americans ate high carb low fat and got fat), and at the same time you think they make you so lean that you become "malnourished".( im 5'8" and 125 pounds) Have you made up your mind? Do carbs make you fat or do they make you lean?
Processed foods, the combination of grains and cheap fats from seed oils made Americans fat. You will lose weight by following either a low fat high carb, or a high fat low carb regime. The latter is more nutrient dense and more indicated for humans going by our ancestry and digestive system. If the low fat diet completely excludes animal fats and proteins, as Barnard recommends, you must supplement heavily or else run into life threatening deficiencies.
@Mister Jones you are clueless. The SAD diet was NEVER NEVER NEVER low fat. The SAD diet has always been high fat and low fiber. That has nothing in common with a low fat high fiber diet. The latter prevents and reverses Type 2 diabetes
@Mister Jones carbs in a diet that are loaded with animal fat and added oils and fried foods make you fat and insulin resistant.

Because most of them aren't plant based starch vegan
Wery onest and good doctor. That is what people needs
what is the correct research for insulin resistance? because as per other researcher show that insulin resistance is caused due to high amount sugar and this video is saying due to fat and good cholesterol is blocking the cell. as for me personally, i fix that IR with low carbs high fat diet.
I'd like him to explain that...
I am so lucky to find this way of eating. I was spiking some high numbers, and feared I was headed for diabetes. Was a vegetarian, but got on the wfpb plan, lost 80 lbs, and the problem went bye bye. Today, I know what to do to maintain health. And it's delicious.
Such a wealth of information Dr. Barnard! Thank you very much for endorsing this research based diet. People need to be conscious because of the high morbidity of this condition.
