Thank You, I have been type one since age 12. I am now 67 and since the technology did not exist I have the complications. My doctor has been telling me to consume at least 40 carbs per meal but I started a keto diet and have already lowered my basal 10 units a day. Feeling better and on the path to even lower insulin.

I'm so happy on the carnivore diet. I am a Type 1 Diabetic for 30 years now and have found my salvation!

Thanks for the life saving info. Carnivore and keto additionally make life as a Type One immensely more enjoyable. Almost no stress about lows, no more feeling shitty with blood sugar swings and less money spent on insulin :)

I’m a LADA…thank you for explaining How to safely have a long life… my hope is you go around the world teaching diabetic doctors how to be good doctors, and really care about the patient, The necessity diabetics to go off unnecessary carbohydrates.. I do believe ultimately it is up to the patient to choose a healthy lifestyle and some will not. It is sad, but I really really am appreciative of delivery how to be a carnivore and a type one diabetic who suffers from type two crap….no carbs for this girl ❤

I love this intelligent approach to T1 diabetes -- prevent insulin resistance or "double diabetes" in T1 by keeping carbs low. As I approached my 25th year with T1D I noticed insulin resistance happening....weight gain at the belly area and increased insulin requirements. So I further reduced my carbs, dropped wheat, managed my hormones and stopped the insulin resistance in its tracks. Weight returned to normal. Now I have nearly 35 years of T1D and am in great physical shape, still with zero C-peptide (no insulin of my own), and yet...no complications. Hard work, but worth it.

People in the world need to be coming to you on a daily basis. I am giving the Carnivore diet a chance. The medical world needs to put you in ALL leadership positions. You are truly INSPIRING. I have had Type 1 for over 24 years/ worked in the medical industry for over 10 years specifically insulin/ insulin pumps ..etc. I have called on many ENDO/Family practice/NP/internal Doctors/ CDE’s and I have NEVER ...heard them talk about the Carnivore Diet. THANK YOU for taking the courage to speak out about this.

Type 1 here, diagnosed 10 years ago and was told I’d need carbs in every meal. I realise now that’s not true, I still eat carbs but in small portions, I’ve realised they’re not the only energy source we need as I was told. I’m taking far less basal and bolus than I ever have, plus I’m (and always have been) very active, I’ve lost weight. At my last check up my BMI is perfect, HBAC1 is 48, last year was 68. All thanks to KZfaq specialists and adjustments to my diet.

I have never had an open-minded endocrinologist. Ever. Over 50 years type 1.

Once you see it you can't unsee it. It's sooo logical.

Thanks for this video Doc!! Love watching more people noticing us (type 1 diabetics) not only t2d. Carnivore is the way to go!! 🥩 usually don't experience lows anymore. And the highest my blood sugar levels can go is only after eating a ribeye can go up to the 120. But usually I keep my blood sugar levels at 85 mg/dL

Amazing! I’m type 1 from Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m always dealing with no sense doctors, there’s amazing group on Facebook for type 1 diabetic. Thank you doctor 🙏🏻💖✨✨✨✨

Thank you for the suggestion about whole milk for treating occasional lows. My husband is type 1 and we are low carb, mostly carnivore but I did not know what would be the “best” lowest inflammatory way to bring him up when he has gotten low. Thank you 🙏

To listen to this intelligent understanding makes me feel hopeful and heard. So grateful for you and this high-level information.

Your knowledge and way you explain yourself is truly admirable. Thank you so much for proving us with this information, I am a type 2 and wish a doctor would be so profound with explanations that actually make sense like you do.Thank you 🙏😊

1:07 2:46 'so when I'm treating my type 1 diabetics the single first most important number, that no endocrinologist ever checks and that is critical - is KNOW your C-PEPTIDE NUMBER and your INSULIN and your A1C. Because the c-peptide number is critically important to know whether your pancreas is producing any insulin.

Thank you for pushing this message!

I’m type 1 and I’m amazed at my blood sugars after going mostly carnivore. I just started and my swings are nearly gone already. It’s fantastic.

Please please please make more type 1 videos I feel we are never recognized !!

Great info!!!

Clever man , very well said sir ill definately look into that , i have type 1 , and i have those spikes

nice vid doc.

Yes! This is exactly the info I was looking for. Once I went keto I noticed times when it seemed the insulin did nothing, like something was blocking it. But only type 2's get insulin resistance right!? Not! The longer I've stayed keto the resistance keeps decreasing thankfully, and most lows are treated with 2 or 3 sugar packets, roughly 10 grams of carbs only.

Really wish this was more widely accepted. I know many diabetics and the idea of not eating sugars/carbs seems taboo to them. Also thanks for helping me understand on a greater level! Never did I piece together that the reason a diabetic can go extremely low is from the insulin that was injected. I see people loading up on pure fructose and then it swings dramatically in the opposite direction into the 200’s 😷

Love everything you are saying here. As a T1D for almost 30 years now. I finally started a Carnivore diet after failing to get my body healthy after 3 years of Keto. Wish you were near me, because so many doctors just aren't up-to-date on this line of thought.

Hopefully will be getting my Tandem soon! I have one now, but it's very old...

This has been very informative to me I have type 1,and am on insulin ,I gonna start this carnivor diet ,feeling very hopeful about lowering my blood sugars .

So perfect. Thank you. You can also drop your basal down. I’m on an insulin pump. Would you recommend the Dexcom and the wireless pump? I heard you talk about Tandem. That has a wire. I’m trying to get rid of the wire

Thank you 1000x!

My c peptide is .6 and my doctor is still calling me a type 2

Do you have an explanation video on blood counts? High and low and explain what one should do when blood count is "example low 3.7? I'm a carnivore( strictly meat,eggs,fish)and this happen to me recently! All I could think of was "have something sweet!"

I really wish I had a doctor here that could help me with all this. I have complications because I’ve been a diabetic since I was 10 years old. I’ve had wounds on my ankle because of collapsed veins. But they say to add salt to everything when eating keto and carnivore. Is this bad for me? Does it worsen my leg condition? Thanks.

How is glucose going to get into the blood cells (which require glucose unlike other cells) if the type 1 is not producing insulin?

What is your opinion on the reversal of damage to the blood vessels and nerves that are caused by the hyperglycemia that you speak of here? Do you think think that is possible to repair the microvascular damage that occurs as a result of the glycation, or is the damage permanent?

What about ketoacidosis? Is that any cause for concern when lowering the carb intake a lot? If so, is there a way to handle the amount of ketones in the body without reverting to carbs? Great video, thanks.

First of all, great videos. I've switched to a carnivore diet as a Type 1 and almost instantly (3 days) have a very stable blood sugar (something I haven't seen since diagnosed). The problem for me as a Type 1 is exercise and work. For instance if I'm helping someone move or doing high activity work in the yard, I can very quickly go on a low. Before carnivore I would "juice up" as I called it. Drinking high sugar content (juice or energy drinks) before doing the work to prevent lows. The activity also acts against my high levels for hours/days afterward. It will be interesting to see how this is affected with carnivore. I'm guessing the first time I work hard at something physically, I'm going to be needing some sugar. Milk definitely won't cut it in these circumstances as I'd usually be intaking 150-300g of carbs on a 12 hour day for instance to prevent a low. Any advice from anyone here would be greatly appreciated, but I guess I'll just have to stick with juice of some type. Trying to figure out how my carnivore diet will look when having to consume sugar/carbs for exercising each day (weights), and how that will effect my body coming out of ketosis and burning the sugars instead. Its all a learning process for me at the moment but look forward to a brighter future.

After having symptoms of type 1, my blood test came back ok so they put my symptoms down to fibromyalgia, my weight is still going down, 110lbs now. I’ve put myself on a carnivore diet 😶

So i did Carnivore for over 2 years and i had gotten to a real sweet spot, i wasnt craving carbs and my blood sugars were very stable....but then i started getting very very insulin resistant and my basal rate was going up. It was scary and I was doing the diet correctly.

Im a type 1 I’m doing my Due diligence on the carnivore diet now before I commit. In your opinion , would a long term (over two years) carnivore diet hypothetically give the body a chance to rebuild beta cell function if no carbs are present ?

I’m type 1. I have to dose for my carnivore diet….tho not as much as for straight carbs. Fat too. Protein and fat acts more slowly but will rise and stay high longer.

Im currently goi g thru this now. Im noticing the protien is Cuasing my blood sugar to go up. But over all the fluctuations are getting tighter. But im having issues getting below 130's and staying down there. But im poor and dont have a CGM and i inject. No pump. So i feel like im guessing alot.

I'm T1 LADA my A1C when last checked was 5.8. I exercise at least 5 days a week and I've significantly cut down on carbs from how I used to but still have at least ~150g of carbs/day. My macros are ~40% carbs 30% fat 30% protein. I use a g6 cgm and omnipod. With that out of the way, I have basically had to figure out most of the ways I manage things by myself. Nutritionists have been a waste of time and money for me as well as my own endocrinologist. She's better than the one I first had but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere with what I explain to her. I stay in a "normal" range pretty consistently but I feel like there's still more I can do. I'm pretty harsh on myself as far as trying my damndest to stay in range. I'd love to try carnivore but for one, it's more expensive. and second, I'm worried about my blood sugar dropping and spiking more. I've noticed that when I eat something like bacon my blood sugar will slowly rise for the next 6-8 hours (from the fat I assume) and it's difficult to judge what I should set my basal to or what I should bolus for when I do.

I'm a type 1 diabetic , I need to lose weight as well,. I have 10 autoimmune disorders,. I don't know any person on a keto or carnivour diet. I used to be on a keto diet but then ended up in hospital and in physical crash, so put onto insulin. I'm struggling with everything physical, chronic pain and stiffness.

My fiance is type 1 and had a hard time keeping sugars stable before we recently switched to a ketogenic diet with plans to transition to carnivore. Her sugars are now a lot more stable. However, she has a much harder time lowering her blood sugar and is now feeling very discouraged and worried. I read that consuming a leaner source of protein can help reduce insulin resistance. We have been eating fatter meats since we cut out carbs... Do you think that eating leaner could be the answer? She wants to give up on carnivore and reintroduce more fruits and veggies.

What happens when your blood sugar goes low and you need to consume sugar of some sort?

Hi Doc, My little girl who’s almost three years old got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last week and needless to say my wife and I were besides ourselves. Being from the UK we are both extremely skeptical of the NHS and I spent many a night arguing with the doctors regarding the need to force feed by little girl carbs unnecessarily and then having to subsequently inject her with insulin before diagnosing her. Can I ask how to measure/test C peptide and A1C, as I am skeptical she even has diabetes BUT I am totally open to it if that’s the reality. I just don’t believe enough screening or assessing was made. Much love 🇬🇧

But what do you say to everyone that says red meat is dangerous for your heart and cholesterol levels????

Do I have to eat so much meat? Can I live on more veggies and greens, and meat just once or twice per week?

Can this approach apply to a growing child with type one? I'm asking because my 9 yr old has type one.

Will it recover on carnivore if type 2 where the anti bodies go away

I disagree with the doc on hypoglycemic corrections "you may need some sugar to treat...". I know that some carnivores do this but I don't agree with it. Sugar kills the pancreas. It is the reason diabetes exists in the first place; particularly in more processed forms. Avoid it at all costs. Use meat to treat your lows. You shouldn't have too many dramatic lows on an all-meat diet anyway. I have also had many seeming 'lows' (low 50s - 70 range) that had absolutely no symptoms at all. I did not treat them... and my blood either stayed the same or rose slightly. I have been on a carnivore diet for 9 months now, and have only reverted to sugar (chocolate) once to treat a hypoglycemic problem. It took at least 3-4 weeks for my bloods to stay strictly within the non-diabetic range again (some would argue that this would be due to a glucagon surge at the time of the hypo... but I'd suggest that it is perhaps a combination of this and new damage to the pancreatic cells). Most say that diabetes cannot be cured but I believe it is not cured 'rapidly' (a few months to a few years, with great self-discipline) for many because of this reversion to sugar when treating hypos. If absolutely desperate I'd say he has it right when he says use milk. The fattier and the more untreated the better... but, for me, that would be an utterly last resort (a low of less than 50 with quite severe side effects). What I do agree on is the c-peptide notion he talks about. And I'm going to speak to my diabetic nurse about this, so that I can get a clear reading on this. Thanks for the info!!

What happens when you do high intensity training. Or compete in a sport? If the adrenaline raises what's best to get it back down.

I had always heard the risk for type 1s on keto was ketoacidosis. Is that not true?

Hi! Thank you so much for all the vital information presented in a way it's easy to understand! My daughter have type 1. She got it when she was 7. Now she is convinced ( by her medical staff) she can't be on carnivore diet due to the ketones. Is it so? Could her ketones be to high or in a way it could possibly harm her? Big hug🤗

I got a probem... Protein ramps up my blood sugar like eating cake.

I am type 1 diabetic for about 10 years I also have Hashimotos & MS. I am worried that I am on no insulin on Carnivore as my sugar is only around 5.5 it doesn’t go high ever it’s only been 4 weeks now but I am confused as to how this is happening. I had gad antibodies & was definitely diagnosed as Type 1. I check my sugar heaps & it just doesn’t go up enough to take insulin

Doctor, please put subtitles in Portuguese, Brazilians and Portuguese are very interested in your content.Thanks.

There is an empirical formula which can be applied and modified depending on level of IR for carb consumption but no such formula for protein. This makes insulin management more hit and miss on carnivore. Your comments are valid in theory by virtue of the low numbers but do not guarantee no insulin excursions due to lack of control and knowledge gluconeogenesis

I need a doctor. You available.

People with Diabetes should not just IF, but Fast very often 3, 6, 9+ days - to decrease/undo the error of their ways ...

Can carnivore diet cure my type 1?

kwanza!

Im a type 2 diabetic been diabetic 17 years. Went carnivore 2, years ago now I've had to go on insulin as my diabetes is that bad. I've also got to much protein in my liver and non alcoholic fatty liver. I'm going blind aswel. Not sure if my diabetes was declining anyway. I've got seveare nuropathy in my legs I can hardly walk a few yards without burning and pain. Carnivore is way to much protein and fat for me. I've done intimitent fasting. Prolonged fasting. Hate being on insulin but it's the only way my diabetes will go down. I've been advised it may be my cortisol levels. I don't heal from ops or cuts. Thin apart from my beer belly. Don't drink. Fat Face... Lossing alit of muscle mass. I was a bodybuilder once and powerlifter. not now.

If the only thing we used to measure successful diabetes management was average BGs and a flat line on the CGM, then I could understand advocating the Carnivore diet. But to not recognize the value of plant food, of the nutrients in all colorful fruits and vegetables, vitamins and minerals that are entirely missing in animal food (for instance, manganese), I'm willing to sacrifice a little A1C for a balanced healthful diet. Since it has to be a diet that I can live with for my entire life, I want the variety of foods available to me, with particular emphasis on "eating the rainbow". (AIC 5.8. I exercise hard daily. 68 y.o.)

GOP debate 2023

Doctors can preach all they want but truthfully we may never truly know what the correct thing is to do. There are many camps that beieve glucose is the bodys form of fuel and fat blocks insulins ability to do its job. Contributing to fatty liver and insulin resistance. ITs really hard to tell. But in truth the complexity of the human body and its cellular functions may never truly be understood. Case in point many americans eat a diet high in refine carbs as well as fat (basically refined grains and dairy ie cheese) And type 2 diabetes is soaring. If you are recommending i eat nothing but animal protein and lettuce and remove antioxidant rich foods like fruit just because i will see better blood sugar numbers in the short term i cannot get on board with that. Ultimately what we need to be working towards is finding the correct human diet for humans and if that is meat okay but if that is fruit and low fat we need to accept our T1D and adminster insulin accordingly like a normal pnacreas should do until new insulin therapies ie stem cells replace the use of exogenous insulin.

"carnivore" we are omnivores, if you eat eggs or some veggies, you are omnivore. How idiotic.
