I don't lose during fasting and I'm waiting on a new med to try but i still fast 16 hrs a day but see no results, sugar is still high. I started exercising on the gazelle, kicks my ass after 5 min , definitely after 10. My sugars started going high after taking a steroid and have never came down. I might have to go to meat only diet. I wake up at 250 sometimes and its ridiculous.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by a shock to the pancreas, like a virus or drinking a potent energy drinks on an empty stomach. It is not hereditary.

@kaymuldoon3575 Ай бұрын

My brother-in-law has type 1 diagnosed in his early 20s (he’s in his 60s now). No one in his family had it either. I’ve heard some doctors say that it is thought to be caused by an extreme illness such as a high fever or bad case of the flu (or something similar) from childhood, and the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the beta cells in the pancreas (not unlike an autoimmune type situation). Which can in some cases later lead to type 1 diabetes.

Finding this man was the best thing to ever happened to me in my life. After my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes I spent a year on medication, wondering around the grocery stores trying to find something to eat and kidding myself. When I went for my 1st year check up and was blind sided by my doctor who has absolutely no bedside manner and left his office like a kid that was just scolded. A friend turned me on to Dr. fung. I was 280 plus. I changed eating habits, changed my lifestyle. Started fasting. I eat once a day. From 4pm to no later than 8pm. The weight fell off. I went from 280lbs+ to 215lbs and eventually found my perfect weight at 220 to 225. The metformin went in the trash 2 years ago. I check my blood sugar about once a week. Thank you, Dr. Fung.

Baked potatoes are a craving. I use real butter. I eat a lot of raw veggies. I pay very close attention to anything with a nutritional label. Generally if food comes in a can, jar, box, package, or bottle, I don't even pick it up. Anything else that has a label is inspected for carbs and sugar. I hope this helps

Dr. Fung, I spread the word about YOU everyday. You are my hero. I began watching you years ago as you simply explained blood sugar in simple understandable terms. I loved the video and a year later, watched as many as I could. I unplugged the microwave, oven/ stove and ate nothing but live foods. I challenged myself to walk for hours. Found out later that dancing worked better than walking lowering blood sugar quicker. Lost 50 Lbs. You are my hero. My doctor took his glasses off, looks at me and asked “ How did you do this?” I told him Dr. Fungs intermittent Fasting. Love eating one meal around 2 pm and go to bed early.

So, do you still fast? How often and how many meals do you eat a day?

@Kimmie_F 10 ай бұрын

@BW-kv9wj I still fast every day for 16 hours. Only drinking water, plain tea, and an occasional pinch of salt under my tongue. But if you eat enough protein and fat in your 8 hour eating window, I've gone as long as 22 hours without 1 hunger pang. Generally, I eat 2 meals (1 after I break my fast and 1 before I start a fast) with a protein focused snack in the middle. If an amount of food is important to your psyche, fill up on cruciferous vegetables or green vegetables. They are low-carb and great fiber. But for me, eggs are my super food. I eat them every day. 😊 The danger comes from what you add to them. If you're just starting this journey, eat simple whole foods that are 1-3 ingredient recipes that you put together yourself. As you progress in your journey and get to know what affects your blood sugar (a glucose meter is a must. It will never lie to you and tell you it's ok to eat something if it's not, lol) You can eventually venture with food choices as you become more confident. But 1 more piece of advice, do not put anything into your body if you can't say its name or know why it's in your food, and take a great multivitamin 😊 It's a lifestyle change that is so worth it. I feel better than I have in 20 years! Now that's sayin something!

I've had mixed results from fasting with the blood glucose level going up as mentioned. Dr Fung's explanation is excellent, but quite simple and so logical when you think about it - your body is releasing stored glucose which you probably have a lot of. I decided to get more aggressive with fasting and probably fasted 36 hours which I have rarely done. I was surprised how effective this was in reducing a typical 12-15mM reading (after fasting) down to 6-8mM.

Thank you for resolving my most annoying mystery!! finally when I wake up in the morning I am not as depressed as I used to be!!

I now achieve reasonable control of my blood sugar level when I am not eating dry fruits, little bread or any carbs!! mind you two small pieces of 85% dark chocolate (20g) after meals help REDUCE my blood sugar level! also I found through the use of my Libere sensor that when I consume avocado before meals my sugar level drops. Just to give you an example; before lunch my sugar level was 8.1 (no breakfast) after having an avocado my sugar level dropped to 7.6, when I had my lunch; salads and quiche plus one slice of protein bread and some cheese (Asiago), my sugar level reading after each 15 minutes was the same!!!! it went up to 9.5 but ONLY when I ate two dry figs. and after two hours it is now 8! It will continue to go down till I go to bed with a reading of 6.5! Stick with the low carb diet! Dr Fung is right! Do not stock up your fridge with more shopping that you need!! Oh and Stay away from Vegan diet! It is NOT normal and NOT natural diet! The real secret is balanced diet with very LOW CARBS INTAKE! It works believe me!

Hi, I am a type 1 diabetic and fast weekly for 48hrs. Everything described in this video happens to me. I reduce the level of insulin (basal) I take from 11.5u to 7.5u after 24hrs, usually before bed. I monitor my blood sugar using Libre which shows the dawn phenomenon. However, my dawn phenomenon occurs when I wake. The two days of fasting are my two best controlled days of the week. When I have fasted for 5 full days, I needed to reduce the basal level down further, eventually down to 4.5u. I used this exercise to derive my perfect basal profile, which I now use for my basal. I plotted that profile using excel and then scaled it up for increased daily amounts. This has proven to me be the best method to derive my basal profile. This fasting has also demonstrated that the basal level I need, is directly linked to the total daily insulin I take. IE, if my daily total insulin increases, with larger bolus shots, I will need to increase the basal to match. However, there is lag in the system.

I was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago and started IF and Keto, I've been looking for the reason why my blood sugar shot up after not eating any carbs at all and found NOTHING on google that answered that question, thank you for this video it has helped me tremendously.

In March 2021, I lost 13 pounds after two weeks of being sick. I thought what a great start to losing even more weight to get healthy. While searching for fasting ideas I came across your channel and I watched a few videos and became inspired to try it out. So my start date was November 7, 2021 and I started to see the pounds melt away literally. I was losing about 3lbs a week on average. I must admit it was super hard to get through first 2-3 days. I was eating fresh food and no sugar or carbs (Ok maybe a couple carbs got devoured ). But I focused my attention on it and now see the results of this type of daily diet. It’s now February 17, 2022 (4 months approximately ) and I now weigh 193lbs. That’s a 35lbs loss ( before 228lbs-after 193lbs and I’m 5’10) Wow!! I had to buy new clothes and now wear smaller sizes. Now I still need to lose about 15lbs until I reach my long term goal. It’s been amazing and now my wife is interested in this based on my results. Hopefully I can give an update in another 3 months. [ Side note: Yes sometimes I still eat some minimal junk while doing this. Like chips and salas and potatoes and I don’t see it as failure but these food are good and more a treat. I also had to redefine what a treat is. It’s not every night after dinner, every day or week for myself. My sugar cravings have lowered so much that I don’t have a high sugar desire and makes these food overly sweet and they don’t taste as good anymore. So keep up the great work on this style of health. It’s working for me. Dr. Fung, Thanks for your advice! I wish I could thank you in person.

Updates?

@darhawkscott6765 Жыл бұрын

@@bonnytoy8229 sure I can write an update. I am as of July 20th 177lbs and my lowest weight was 174. I’m actually on a two day fast as I write this. I just got back from vacation and that was challenging. It was hard to stay focused. I fasted 24hours and lost the vacation weight. So overall I have lost 55lbs total. I still like chips even though they are bad for you ( I’m looking for a great substitute). I also feel more in touch with my body and it’s reactions from eating certain foods. I eat more red meat and fresh vegetables. My waistline was a size 38” but now I am a 32” waist. I went out and bought all new pants and shorts (slowly not all at once). My elbows don’t hurt anymore and I believe it has help heal my leg from Lichen Planus( which is a whole other story). I have also told many friends and family about this channel due to the fact that it’s shocking to see me now. I personally know of 8 people that now fast daily based on my results. Remember I said my wife started fasting too, well she has lost now 30lbs since February or 2022. It’s been great! It’s been a fun journey to travel. Is it hard. Sometimes. Do I cheat and eat bad foods still? Yes but not daily or weekly now. I still love pizza. But not 1-2 a week. Low carbs and tiny amounts of sugar is my daily walk. I’m not perfect but I still am doing my fasting daily until I hit 170lbs. Then I will maintain. I do feel like it’s harder to maintain once I get to 170lbs. As I want to hover around 175-179. So I am still learning and changing daily. If you all have questions for me please ask and I hope I covered everything you might have been wondering.

Chips arent good as theyre often slathered in more high sugar items..corn starch..maltodextrin and really poor seed oils. It can also cause more addictive tendancies to the addicted..im a binge eater and even 4 yrs into keto lifestyle, staying away is best. There are keto french fries and chips by heavenly fan id suggest you try and see what you think! :)

@Darhawk...you worked hard for your success and I hope you have continued to do well. I admire and appreciate your story. I sincerely hope you are still enjoying some of your favorite junk foods including chips. Some foods I limit but will never deny or substitute. That is the beauty of fasting and getting back your health ..you can have your health and enjoy a large slice of pepperoni pizza every now and then ...I love it...life is a beautiful experience 🙏.

Thank you Dr. Jason Fung! As a 40 y/o type 1 diabetic it is helpful to be as informed as possible about my body and blood glucose, etc. I have been experimenting with intermittent fasting now for just over a month and I can see the benefits in terms of more time to work, my blood sugars stay flat (rather than roller coaster) for longer periods, I'm using less insulin and not asking my body to process as much as it was previously doing. I'm still figuring out which style of intermittent fasting works best for me. Anyway thanks a bunch for all the great and helpful work you do in the world!

I was 136 kgs, I'm down to 107 kgs, I've come off insulin completely, I was on insulin for almost 20 years, I've also been taken off one of my two diabetic meds and my doctor, has reduced my metformin dosage, with a view to stopping it all together, as I lose more weight. I've been fasting, initially, not intentionally but I just wasn't hungry, but now, I only eat one meal a day. My blood sugars throughout the day are between 4.5 to 5.5, however, on some mornings, my blood sugars spiked to 6.6. I was worried, I was doing something wrong but I was keeping strictly, to my 'no carb' diet - it was concerning but your video has laid my concerns to rest, thank you Jason, I stumbled across your channel, I'm so glad I did, again, thank you.
