Does ed come with diabetes

Tubi, the Fox free streaming app, has a lot of documentaries. I recently viewed “The Diabetes Solution” regarding T1D, which served to confirm my negative impression of the advice given to diabetics when they are diagnosed. I am type 2, who suddenly had an A1c of 12.5…and I immediately enrolled in an ADA counseling within 2 weeks of my dx. I was appalled..the recommendations appeared going down a seriously bad path, dietarily. My dr started me off with metformin and glimepiride…telling me to return in a few months to review another A1c. At the 3 mo return visit, he started by saying he was going to increase my meds. I asked him to review my recent bloodwork first. It was now 6.2. He was amazed and asked what I had done different. The South Beach was my answer. It is now10 years later, same dosage of meds. Still remaing between that 6.2 and. 6.7 range. The SB diet was restrictive, so I switched no pasta (zoodles etc being substitutes) and other baked goods, bread etc, were Keto…baking most of my bread. I found the aforementioned video to be a valid assessment of the current state of the PTB’s conflict of interest

Stop warring glucose and carbs totally and eat once or max twice a day for six months, you will not need metformin or any other medicine, when stop eating glucose and carbs you will not feel hungry. Keep controlling the potassium, magnesium and sodium , you’ll be cured within 6 months

Wow! 🎉 that’s great! But I lost part of my pancreas, that’s what made me a diabetic .

And intermittent fasting

and are you still taking metformin or not?

Dear if stop taking rice start some physical activity your health will be better.

Hello there. Why do you think eating breakfast is important ?

@@Cervin_Suisse It's NOT! Intermittent Fasting/ Prolonged Fasting is the way to go... both for Diabetics and non-diabetics, included.

@@manavpatra4808 what did I say that deserved an exclamation mark ? :-))

@@Cervin_Suisse Simply stressing on the point that Breakfast is Not important, my good man. Cheers.

@@manavpatra4808 I'm surprised again my good person. I don't recall having said anything about tge importance of breakfast. As I skip it most of the time when I'm home. Whe I Travel it's another more complicated.

Have you been taking medicine during these 25 years ?

Try to do same…

In terms of tips that I’ve incorporated from your videos… I love adding a capful of apple cider vinegar to some apple cinnamon tea at night! I also like to have a cup or two of zero sugar Chobani Greek yogurt at night! I think the extra carbs from the yogurt and the tea help me keep things relatively level throughout the night… and the yogurt helps my sweet tooth! I also try to intermittent fast for at least 12 hours a day, although I average about 14. :)

Congratulations, it sounds like you’re doing a lot better. Tom has been a Godsend for us too. Tom has such a great advice. My daughter was diagnosed T1D in September 2023. She is in the ‘ honeymoon period’ too. What a weird term😂 We would love to hear more about the honeymoon period too. She and I always have eaten healthy because she also has celiac disease. Celiac is another autoimmune disorder, egg and other food allergies. I cook nearly everything we eat, and we never go to restaurants. She has gotten sick before from restaurants claiming to follow gluten-free protocols.

From my understanding, which is limited mind you, the honeymoon phase for type 1s happens after they start treating their condition. Since it's not like type 2, in which the major issue is insulin resistance and not insulin absence (which can still happen if the pancreas is in a very bad state), type 1s usually get their condition almost immediately due to the sudden pause of insulin production, which of course leads to high blood sugar levels. This is due to the autoimmune attack that happens which is not related to dietary issues, therefore, a lot of newly diagnosed type 1s are STILL very insulin sensitive. Hence why their insulin therapy is extremely effective at the beginning of their treatment. That's also why doctors might start with small doses of insulin, since there mostly is no issue with insulin resistance in the cells. Lastly on that, they might still make small amounts of insulin despite the antibody attack on the pancreas. So all summed up, most newly diagnosed type 1s are still insulin sensitive, therefore, getting some insulin in their system again is enough to stabilize their blood sugars. Now on why it's called a "phase" is simply because, with the use of external insulin which, even small doses might be high enough for the cells to start, gradually, becoming insulin resistant. I don't know exactly what the differences are in regulating pancreatic and external insulin, but, if no other steps are taken (changes in diet, exercise etc) the slight increase of insulin resistance will require more insulin to stabilize blood sugars. And unfortunately, higher levels of insulin lead to higher insulin resistance. It's a vicious cycle. However with the above mentioned lifestyle changes and a bit of help from drugs like Glucophage (Metformin), that help raise insulin resistance, this "honeymoon phase" could potentially last for years, maybe even indefinitely. Of course it would require a tremendous amount of effort and consistency from the person's end. That's why I think it's called that. On an end note, I would strongly suggest all of you to check out the book "Diabetes Solution" by Dr.Bernstein, an endocrinologist who has lived all through his almost 90s now, with Type 1 since the age of 12. @@terrilaughlin1121

Here in India we eat bitter gourd as side dish with rice or chappati .twice or three times in a month everyone can eat keep the suger.low if u borderline or ,Above 100

My Afghanistany friend told me the same about the bitter gourd. But how to cook it?! My friend is gone now, can't ask her. Thank you! ​@@janetgreen3553

@@janetgreen3553 have tried similar greens now, I'm totally avoid carbs and it has not affected my stamina towards busy lifestyle. Felt great 😃

Congratulations, keep up the good work as a HbA1c of 7% is still too high.

@@Cervin_Suisse yes it is indeed. It still coming down to 6 now

Hope your feeling better

That's amazing!! What a great job U did!! I wish u all the best 😊

Thank you my friend! I appreciate the support!

Wow. Are you still at 5.5?

Not saying that an insulin pump is the only way to control dawn phenomena, but for me getting a pump helped me tremendously in two ways compared to MDI. I always went too low when on MDI when exercising, and I always had dawn phenomena and went too high when on MDI. Using a pump, I can decrease my basal insulin to help me not go too low when exercising and I increase my basal starting about 3:00am to help me wake up with blood sugars usually about 97-110. If you aren't on a pump and can get one with insurance, I think you will find that to be a good bet. Good luck.
