Hi, I notice a similar sir name. Hope, you are not also living with Type 1 diabetes?

I wish I could ask you more questions how you have managed this? I usually have to skip meals to get my blood sugar to lower numbers, and eat a tiny portion of plain meat like a burger patty, and some low starch veggies like zucchini. If I am still hungry, I may eat an egg. I can't do any Keto breads made out of almond flour, or anything like that.

@@brookgraves368 you need to go full carnivore only

Cómo estas al cabo de estos años ??

❤❤❤Por favor que comes , como te llevan las hipoglucemias

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Sounds like you need more insulin if bs is in 200s and you are already low carb.

? Lantus is the long acting, steady insulin. You should be taking humalog or novalog for rapid acting to compensate for any carbs or for corrective boluses.

​@@sigalsmadar4547la insulina por exelencia recomendada para las proteínas es la insulina R atracpip o Novolin en algunos países

Isn't that a dislike?

He never studied the pump and rapid acting insulins. It's disappointing as he has been our champion for self monitoring and low carb.

Interesting. BTW, damage to the pancreas is not generally seen in people without diabetes, or even in those with Type 2 diabetics. Yes, many people who consume a reasonably well-formulated ketogenic diet for a few months or longer find that their insulin sensitivity improves. That said, as you mention, switching back and forth between a very low carb/ketogenic diet and co numing foods high in carbs (and seed oils deceptively marketed as 'vegetable') is not beneficial. Children and some young and active people can get away with this for awhile, but it most always catches up with them, sooner or later.

The likely answer is, yes. On a well-formulated ketogenic diet, ketones are used for fuel. The tiny amount of glucose the body needs can be produced in the body via gluconeogenesis. However, Type 1 diabetics have to be careful, since they produce no insulin, that ketone levels do not rise to the level of ketoacidosis, which can be life threatening. Note that the level of ketones in ketoacidosis is 10 X that found in nutritional ketosis- and blood glucose levels are exceptionally low at the same time. Dr. Stephen Phinney MD, PhD is featured in videos on YT that explain the difference. Dr. Bernstein have presentations and books that explain the difference, and how to safely eat a low carb diet with T1D. He is himself a T1 diabetic and has been thriving into his 80s.

Mark, I don't think anyone knows for sure. I think you generally detect the low later, I think you are more 'protected' due to the ketones. So I'm not sure if that really matters. I do know that since I inject much less insulin, the error, i.e. the amount of of much insulin is much less, i.e. the blood sugar drop gradient is much less, i.e. it takes longer time to drop from say 4/75 to 3/54, therefore I have more time to adjust, I would say that that is the biggest advantage. I do think that I can also survive longer, i.e. survive a bigger drop in blood sugar in ketosis compared to not, even considering the point when I would detect being a bit lower in ketosis. But I have obviously not tested, nor do I intend to test this hypothesis. So to me, it is much better to be in ketosis when you get low than not. I get a less gradient, i.e. more time to fix, I feel much better at 3.5 in ketosis, then 3.5 on high carbs, since I'm less stressed I can eat 4 grams of sugar instead of eating 15, 30 or even more.

Contact Dr. Kushner directly, since the presenters rarely read the comments on KZfaq. If you have been in nutritional ketosis, you are extremely unlikely to ever develop Type 2 diabetes, which is a disease of over-secretion of insulin, aka insulin resistance. This happen when people consume a lot of carbs over the years. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Auto-immune diseases where the body attacks parts of itself, can have a variety of causes. Lectins in plants can trigger auto-immune disease. Lectins are found in many commonly consumed plants. Dr. Paul Mason 'How Lectins Impact Your Health...' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9CBjaZ0zryamXU.html Apparently, anything that stimulates, or overstimulates, the immune system can trigger an auto-immune response, including certain medical interventions that we are no longer allowed to refuse. Other than that, we should never surrender our fate to physicians. They are consultants, not our owners or masters. Skyrocketing costs have reduced choices for many people, but if we find ourselves with a physician that does not respond to or respect our concerns, or is not willing to continue learning, if we have the option, we should fire that physician and find another. 'Doctor' mean teacher, not healer, or surgeon.

That's so awful, I'm sorry you lost her to T1DM

No, it just delays it.

And yet many parents of Type 1 diabetic children are told by medical professionals to 'let them eat whatever they want', and as much as they want, just give them the insulin to 'treat' the carbs. Yes, sugar, under one name or another, is in virtually every processed food, and added to most foods sold at restaurants. Real, whole foods prepared at home where you KNOW what is in them is the logical answer. So many of us are pressed for time, yet healthful meals need not take long to prepare. Many can be prepared in advance, on the weekends or the evening before. Tools like slow cookers and pressure cookers can help. Preparing healthful food can become and enjoyable family activity. What people need is knowledge. They will not get it from the American Diabetic Assn, or mainstream medical professionals.

@@TerminallyUnique95 - Nutritional ketosis allows the body to burn fat for fuel. The small amount of glucose the body needs is produced in the body via a process known as gluconeogenesis. What we are not taught is the the levels of ketones in the dangerous condition of ketoacidosis are 10 X higher than nutritional ketosis. Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD PhD and Jeff Volek, PhD and others have been researching this topic for decades. Presentations by Phinney and Volek and KZfaq cover this, as do their books, if you are interested.

​@@TerminallyUnique95 Jesus. After all this time and so many evidence people still don't know. Yes, your body needs glucose. But your body MAKES glucose, your body makes as much glucose as you need. Ever heard of essential nutrients? Essential nutrients are nutrients that your body can NOT make by itself - fatty acids and amino acids (proteins) thus you have to consume those. Ever heard of essential carbohydrates? You didn't. Body makes its own glucose. You only have essential amino and fatty acids - body can not make by itself. So just forget about "your body needs glucose" thing, it's based on false science i.e. your body can make just enough glucose by itself and you don't need dietary glucose to have glucose.

@@TerminallyUnique95 As far as I know, no one's body needs *dietary* glucose. Glycerol and protein can be converted into enough glucose to run red blood cells and the part of the brain's needs that has to be met in glucose. All your other energy needs can be met by fat and ketones.

@@TerminallyUnique95 Nutritional ketosis is highly desirable! Diabetes ketoacidosis IS dangerous. They are very different! Your body is much more efficient as using fat for fuel (glucose). You seriously need some education on diabetes!

Yes! You are correct. As a T1D I have been zero carb for one year. I take much less insulin and my A1C is down to 5.3!

Who in the world ever told you that? Avocado is the best, along with nuts and seeds. Then comes some dairy and then comes meat.

@@VictorYepello Who in the world ever told you that? meat fats are the healthiest !

@@VictorYepello - Avocados are high in oxalates. Most commonly associated with kidney stones, oxalates can accumulate in other body tissues causing pain and damage: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n51xpdB6vq2sYKc.html Avocado oil, however, should be oxalate free. Yet few plant sources contain the important Omega 3 fatty acids, and none contain them in the form the human body requires. According to Dr. Paul Mason, grassfed meat and milk products can provide sufficient Omega 3 that consuming fish or fish oil supplements is unnecessary. However, if high levels of Omega 6 oils are consumed, they will outcompete the Omega 3s as they use the same receptors. As you know, plant oils are typically high in Omega 6. Since my ancestors did not have access to avocados or avocado oil, so I choose to eat them sparingly, and use other fats for cooking, etc. Peanuts and most tree nuts are high in lectins. Some are also high in oxalates, especially almonds. See 2:30 for a list of some of the commonly consumed plants that contain lectins in Dr. Paul Mason 'How Lectin Impact Your Health...' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9CBjaZ0zryamXU.html Yes, unprocessed milk and milk products can be very healthful. Of course, 100% 'grassfed' milk from cows or other animals is best, ideally bottled in glass (virtually all plastics transfer chemicals to the food and beverages they contain). Certified organic milk is about 3X higher in Omega 3s, and 100% grassfed milk can be 7X or more higher in these beneficial fatty acids, including EPA and DHA. Processed milk and milk products can be a problem, especially those that have emulsifiers added to them, like polysorbate 80, carageenen, etc. These are being added to more and more dairy products. Much of the nutrient content of milk and milk products is reduced or destroyed by the processing. Unprocessed milk contains all the known vitamins, digestive enzymes, a wider range of beneficial bacteria known as pobiotics than any manufactured yogurt or kefir, immune factors and other nutrients. RealMilk.com The A1 casein mutation found in most all milk and dairy products sold in supermarkets can also be a problem for many people. There is very little protein in heavy whipping cream, and almost none in butter, however. A2 milk is also available. The fat of healthy animals is a beneficial food for humans. While not all the fat from animal sources is saturated, there is no evidence that saturated fat consumption increases death rates. None. 16:48 Kushner goes on to point out that ruminant animal fats (beef, lamb, etc) are protective for Type 2 diabetes 1:18. Dr. Zoe Harcome 'Should Dietary Fat Guidelines Have Been Introduced' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idebdK2evdqdgnk.html Nina Tiecholtz , investigative journalist, former vegetatian, and author of 'Big Fat Surprise' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jreFociV3L2soZ8.html Animal production can be done in a sutainable, even regenerative manner. Industrial crop production cannot. Peter Ballerstedt, PhD and biologist Allan Savory are among those with more info on this topic.

Avocado fat is a healthy fat.
