Yes indeed! 20 push ups and 20 sit ups at bed time works! Nothing extreme, but very effective.

Well just got home from 6 month A1c appointment. Doc walked in, sat down and logged into computer and said wow, just wow, how did you lower your numer so much? I said , well, what is it? She said its 5. I was at 7.3 I told her how i cut out all white breads pastas, eat more salad n fruit and fish twice a week and walk and the old doctor i saw about another issue telling myself about the dark chocolate with almonds trick. She said well dang, we should have you come and give advice to support groups. I said i would. I also lost 90 lbs now . She also said i could if I wanted to stop the metformin but recommends i still take for another 6 months. I told her I'll take 1 pill for 3 months instead of 2 that i was taking and see what my numbers are using my meter and if still the same then in 4th month I'll stop altogether till next 6 month appointment. Thank you for some of the advice i learned from your channel also. I'm so proud of myself. 😊 She said if next time it's still down at 5 then technically I'll be in remission. ❤🙏

Great video. I was brought up in a working class family that we all had good jobs 6 am till 2:30 pm. So our normal dinner time was 5pm . I got off that schedule when I went third shift for more money. Anyway went back to first shift schedule and yes no eating after 7pm. Well my numbers are well withing the normal range now. Wake up usually 80's to 90. Even with my diet, mostly zero carbs and whole grain spaghetti with side salad my 2 hr mark is 123- 130 max. And before bed usually around 100. I'm newly diagnosed type 2 since August 2023. Next A1c is March 1st. Can't wait to see what I got it down to. Lastly I've been walking at least twice a day after meals and lost 56 pounds now. I wish all with either type the best of luck! If you have type 2 it can be done, I'm proof. In beginning I thought no way I'll be able to watch what I eat. But it really isn't that hard and I'm actually finding different foods enjoyable. When I think of all the complications that could happen like , loss of limbs, sight, nerve damage ,heart damage etc that motivates myself. Sorry for the long post. ❤🙏

Thanks, for your helpful tips!

Great video and tips on morning blood sugars. Thank you. ❤️

Love your videos Thank you. My 5 yr old grandson is Type 1 , diagnosed a year ago. I get great info from you. God Bless.

Your post is a big help. I frequently have spikes in my morning blood sugars and this should helpful. Thanks

really need this info & will definitely try out your strategies. many thx!

Great video! Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for your channel. It is so helpful to get tips on managing my diabetes from someone who faces the same challenges diabetes throws at you daily. I love that you add humor and experience in your videos. This is much better than a non-diabetic educator lecturing me on something they have never experienced. Thanks again!

Great job once again, you never give up on fine tuning your blood sugars,

Thank You for Your Diligence, great video

Thank you

Thx for sharing!

When I noticed my blood sugar raising in the afternoon and evening I realized my basal insulin was too low and adjusted. If basal dose is too high my blood sugar crashed in the early morning, or I had hypoglycemia episodes sometime during the day. Once you learn the carb counting and correction dose stuff it seems to become a trial and error thing after that as the insulin resistance changes during the day. Walks after meals and fasting help to increase the carb ratio a lot, but if I slack too much my carb ratio goes backwards causing spikes.

Thank you ma'am 🙏🙏 very good information

THANK YOU

Thanks

Thanks and great video! I have also found eating dinner around 5 PM with more carbs and less protein/fats keeps my blood glucose from going up after bedtime and I also make sure my blood glucose levels are good before bedtime. Combining that with long acting Tresiba and I rarely have low morning blood sugar levels and as a bonus I can get up later if I want as Tresiba lasts so long with no peaking. I take my Tresiba in the morning and one pro tip is put an insulin timer cap on my Tresiba as sometimes I don't think well in the morning and on rare occasions I can forget to take it but as the day goes on it can see my blood glucose rise abnormally so I can go back to check if I really did take it and don't risk double dosing or not taking it at all, which would really screw up my blood glucose for at least an entire day if not 2!

Thanks I’m glad I found you

Great Video!

I love that you give us so many helpful tips! Living with type 1 for 35 years and have learned so much since following you. Some things i already know, but the thing is... it's nice to be reminded of these important strategies.

Thank you for your tips! I'm not t1... I'm t2.... But all your tips help me too. Thank you!! Appreciate it!!

Fought the fasting blood sugar for years and nothing worked until I started Basal Insulin. One shot a day it went from 200 to 85. Stay very low/no carb it is 90-100 before meals.

Amazing❤

This is so helpful. I use long lasting insulin before the bedtime and have seen spike in morning sugars if I miss timing. Right timing in medication and early dinner really helps. Thank you for sharing information 😊

Thank you so much for all your videos. I've never donated to a channel before. But my daughter got diagnosed T1D 2 years ago and your videos have helped us so so much, thank you.

When I was using Toujeo I split dosage to 7:30 am and 7:30 pm. Started to evenly split dose and then fine tuned it from there. Only using Novolog for touch ups if needed. Type 2 since 1977, lots of practice playing the insulin game. In the long run it’s what works for you.

Thanks for this video, great information and thanks for talking about your personal experiences, hello from a cold UK

Brisk walking is great early morning for a couple of hours with type2 diabetes low carb diet and medication❤

All my meals are meat, one main meal at 6pm, 2 to 3 quarts of water during the day, green tea with butter and plant based sweetener, morning and snacking when hungry is green tea with butter and bacon for snack, haven't used insulin over 5 yrs. Most times sugar is 120 to 140, of course I do cheat ever so often, then sugar goes up. I need to have some enjoyment, then back too the same boring routine...lol

I’m so jealous of other people’s insulin to carb ratio. 1.5 units of insulin doesn’t even touch a morning high. If I wake up at 4 or so I will inject 3 or 4 units and that helps. Took an extra 6 units of toujeo last night and that really helped. Going to switch long acting insulin to take at night. Instead of morning. Have been on MDI for three years but in the process of switching to tandem pump. I think I forget why I hated pumps so much 😂

Well now, sweet pea, wranglin' that blood sugar into submission is 'bout as crucial as findin' shade on a blisterin' summer day if you're aimin' to steer clear of them microvascular complications. I'm keen to share my two cents on how I kept my paws within them ADA/AACE lines for blood pressure and LDL cholesterol to dodge those sneaky little troubles. Now, keepin' that blood pressure gentler than a lamb, somethin' like under 130/80 mmHg, is a must. It's akin to tryin' to lasso a cloud-tricky but doable. Might mean you have to say "no thank you" to that extra dash of salt, even if it feels like sayin' goodbye to your favorite fishing spot. And get movin' more than a jitterbug at a hoedown, 'cause it helps keep them numbers prettier than a peach. And that LDL cholesterol, the rascal of the blood fat kin, needs to be kept lower than a frog's belly, aimin' for under 70 mg/dL for the most of us. But for folks with a bit more risk, like having them heart disease footprints already, the doc might say to aim even lower 55 mg/dl. Means you might have to pass up on those lip-smackin' fried delights more often than not. Sometimes, you'll need the help of a pill, like them statins, to herd that LDL down to where it belongs. But don't you fret, it ain't all about givin' up the good stuff. It's 'bout fillin' your boots with the right kind of grub-those greens, lean meats, and grains that make you feel like you hit the jackpot at a church picnic. It's like balancin' on a log in the creek. Regular chinwags with your doc, stickin' to your meds like burrs on a wool sock, and keepin' an eagle eye on those numbers is part and parcel of the whole shebang. So, buttercup, keepin' a tight rein on your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol is the secret sauce to sidesteppin' those complications and livin' life as grand as a potluck with no end. It's a path worth takin', filled with laughter, a bit of gumption, and maybe a piece of peach pie with no sugar on top.

I inject the long lasting insulin in the early evening and that helps prevent high morning blood sugar.

Thanks! Did you ever do a video covering which long-acting insulin you switched to? My mom switched from Levemir to Lantus and picked up an immediate nasty side effect of acid reflux and chills. Her endo is suggesting she try the OmniPod5. Have you thought about trying the OmniPod5 insulin pump? Thanks for all the great content. I watch it with my mom as we try to manager her T1D.🤯

Well my sugar work opposite! I don’t eat any thing after 8 pm and I don’t eat anything until 11 next day ( coffee and my 3 pills) and at noon my sugar is higher then am ! Same thing with morning sugar is lower if I eat something after 10 pm 🤷🏼‍♀️my body put sugar in my blood thinking I am starving . So every body is different 😏by the way I am diabetic 2?

Type 1

Dr Richard Bernstein is on the mark.

I’m suffering T1D since 42 years. It’s my struggle life. Uncontrolled blood sugar. Always low-high blood sugar. Would you kindly tell me which video are help for me. Thanks.

what the sense to take medication if it not helping in regulating your blood sugar

Slightly off-topic, but still relative. I recently switched from Levemir to Tresiba. I’m 10 days on Tresiba and still really struggling with it. I’ve come to the point where my daytime sugars are pretty good. I am in range ,however my overnight sugars are dangerously high. And when I correct throughout the night, my corrections don’t work as well as they should , meaning that they only seem to lower my sugar by a couple points, and it seems the rapid acting insulin doesn’t work as well. I’m hesitant to further increase my Tresiba dose , because my during the day is fine. What can I do to combat going to bed with such a high sugar and having to correct throughout the night? Of course I’m going to try to have a lighter and earlier dinner and see how much that helps. If that doesn’t work, is my only option to go back to Levemir or Lantus because I can inject it twice a day? What are your thoughts? Thank you !!! 😊

Did you say Levemir is being discontinued in the US?

I'm having trouble with this. My long acting insulin changed. I noticed my sugar being much higher when this change was made. What damage happens when your sugar stays very high for several hours? I have called my doctor. She told me to keep on it for a while longer before she does a formulary exception. ugh.

People with type 1 diabetes are different individually. After my dinner daily, I do burpees 10 times then walk 10 minutes then do 10 burpees then bicycle sit up 30 times then mountain climbers 30 times then plank one minute. Also, I eat small snacks plus take insilin shots (NPH and Regular) before my bedtime. If I do not eat snacks before my bedtime then I would get insulin reaction. After 4-5am, I check my blood sugar..sometimes it is high between 150 and 230) so I take regular insulin shot (10-15 units).. It helps to reduce my blood sugar down after 8am. Do not try to copy me ..Talk with your type 1 diabetes specialist first.

Has anyone here, type one or two had any experience with the c-peptide test? Long story shortER I was diagnosed with type 2 in 1998. Several years ago my new and current Endocrinologist changed my diagnosis to type 1. My c-peptide was .5 which obviously isn't zero but was lower than the low side of normal for that test/lab's reference range. Possibly I'm really more of a type 1.5 in that I'm not obese but my glucose was not being well controlled with pills only. The guy is from Pakistan and seems to feel that we are done talking about my diagnosis. I can't afford to lose him as I was already discharged by the last Endo's office. My c-peptide was .5 with him too and he DIDN'T change my diagnosis from type 2. Also we did the antibodies and GAD65 and they were negative and normal. How could 2 Endocrinologists with the same 3 test results tell me complete opposite things?

Hi Mam, I have one problem if I do more exercise and diet I am getting low sugar and after 2 hours it will be more sugar I don’t know how to come out of this low sugar please help me out how to come out from low sugar

Hard boiled eggs with avocado for breakfast

My sugar after two hours is 95 is consider low I eat big meal but not raise sugar

Can you guide how to reduce weight with Type1 diabetes.

Most of what u say doesn’t work for me …

After your super and keeping oneself hungry will not help your morning spikes!! Because it’s the empty stomach that creates the problem. Talk to your physician.

No new information in your video

Or you could simply stop eating the carbs altogether.

Full of extra talk.
