@VETERAN VS type 2. Not type 1.

Type 1 Diabetes runs in my family (this type of diabetes is genetic and autoimmune in nature). My brother has Type 1 Diabetes and was showing the classic symptoms (frequent urination, constant hunger, constant thirst, cravings for salt, etc) at around 1-2 years old. My mother knew something was wrong but unfortunately the doctors ignored her until he was finally diagnosed at age 5 after being admitted to the hospital with extremely high blood sugar levels. My brother will always have Type 1 Diabetes (unlike those with Type 2, who can reverse the disease through healthy eating and lifestyle changes). Unfortunately for my brother his pancreas will never be able to produce insulin but healthy eating habits and lifestyle choices will of course help those with Type 1 manage their disease. You should have your daughter do all the testing for Type 1 Diabetes as it seems that she is displaying some of the common symptoms.

You can get a panel run without a doctor. It requires a blood test, there is no way around that. Look online for LabCorp. Look for their tests and request a C-Peptide test, this will tell you if her pancreas is working properly (that will show if Type 1 is happening). Also ask for a blood glucose test AND an A1C. You pay online and take the receipt down to the the LabCorp office near you. Take the results to the doctor. Normal ranges can be found online. If anything is outside the normal range, get her into the Doctor. Juvenile diabetes is an issue. So, check. You can get diabetes at any age. Some are later than others. Yes, she can have it at this age.

@VETERAN VS No, it is not possible to overcome Type 1. You will die without insulin. Also, there are insulin dependent Type 2s, rare but that does happen. There is also Type 1.5 which may not be able to be overcome. We won't even go into Type 3 and the variants on that.

@VETERAN VS You were. I don't see where anyone else was.

If he caught cvd or pnamonia. It damages the liver. I was diagnosed with pneumonia in 2021. Had symptoms of acute liver failure that night. I was diagnosed with fatty liver. Cvd seems to attack the liver. Also eating high processed foods that has high fructose corn syrup as well or corn syrup. They keep changing the name to it. 6 months of consuming it can cause fatty liver. Diabetes is linked to the liver

you are too sweet, thanks for that!

Absolutely!

@@jehneey He INSPIRED me start my cooking channel!

@@BobbyParrish are you diabetic?

so true

He also is diabetic, so I think he will always inform us of diabetic friendly Foods. 💓

He is not a diabetic. 🤣

Can this info help a non diabetic hypoglycemia person?

@@eseosarain Absolutely helpful. 👍 Good luck to you !!

I was just diagnosed as pre diabetic so I agree with this comment.

Very good please so to reverse it because trust me you do nottttt want to get full blown diabetes ! Ppl live long with it but during the course of life if u not on top of what u eat everyday u can feel sick and causes other problems as years go by! For me I get head aches when I don’t do the right thing and eyes get blurry for days and come back to normal if for a week I wasn’t doing good with my numbers

What store are you in?

Oh my stars, I just find out today. And going to do the same.

@@michaelreed388 he's in Whole Foods

What do you eat? I'm also pre-diabetic.

Very true Brandy ...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?

Yes I was diagnosed with diabetes so I drastically change my diet no more sugary food only eat veggies now and salad .

Get some Berberine Herbs will lower your blood sugar and lose weight, Bitter Melons, Okra

I'm type 2 but I rather eat real pasta

@@jamesgentry13 meeeee tooooo!🥰

@@jamesgentry13 fforeimor

Kathy, I agree with you 100% that these Doctors look and talk to you in that certain kind of way but are not helpful in the way you need. like the nutritionist tells you what not to eat, but there's no real education on why it can be bad for you. or for that matter where one can buy diabetic-friendly foods. they don't explain to you about the inflammatory ingredients so you make better choices. or that certain medication can increase your blood sugars. with Bobby Parrish, I am learning what to look for in healthy foods, why they're good for me and how to read labels. that is very important, so thank you, Bobby I certainly appreciate it.

@@jamesgentry13 eat miracle noodles. Eggs. Vegs and butter. Saute. Add sausage. Eat. Walk 3 miles

me too!

Hey, David. I am 74 and have just been diagnosed as diabetic. Bobby's practical advice is a God send, isn't it?

I'm 70 and diabetic for years. Thanks Bobby...

Hey Bobby what's good for dialysis patients? JACJIE FROM Cleveland Ohio

Google NSNG PDF

Thanks

Cut out carbohydrates. Especially starches.

Me, too. Diagnosed today and can't stop crying. Good luck and good health.

@@mariahcarrie5770 I'm struggling some what but I'm still encouraged to continue to push myself for improvement. Halloween was hard with the amount of Reese's peanut butter cups we had. I'm back on it now.

❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤😮

Same! I'm so confused, but this helps a lot! Are there any non organic foods that are healthy for diabetics? That stuff is expensive!

Broccoli califlower, asparagus and eat grass feed beef and wild caught fish. Go to Ethic markets for cheaper prices.

See videos by Benjamin Bikman

You can reverse diabetes. Our body makes glucose (liver) we don't have to eat it or eat it in abundance. You can do it, you can change your life, your health!

How are you doing?

Winnie, see Dr. Eric Berg , Dr. Sten Eckberg and Dr. Jason Fung, videos on YT... they help and motivate. I watch them multiple times and it's encouraging to maintain a healthy, positive direction....good luck...♥️🙂

See also SUGARMD on YT. He's an Endocrinologist who does excellent broad ranging videos, and whilst he talks about medical treatments he fully embraces nutrition and complimentary therapies where appropriate. He's quite funny too!

Right?????? Doctors tell us we’re prediabetic but doesn’t help us with what to eat and what to avoid I’m so frustrated . “Eat fruits! No wait don’t eat fruits , Eat whole grains wait don’t eat whole grains !!!” Like I just wanna reverse this and get my life back

Check out Dr Berg as well. Lots of help there. Over 2500 videos.

And Dr Ken Berry. He’s good too.

Same here

Dear bearded angel Don't freak out. Just remember to avoid things like pizza and pasta; any white food should be avoided

indeed

I am not diabetic and I'm watching because I want to stay a non diabetic!

@Marie Michaels amen! I too have found him a week ago, have wrote down all the good brands, bad ingredients to look for and avoid...Went and threw away half my fridge and pantry... my bill went up, but honestly I don't care, whats more important is what we put in our body and staying the healthiest we can be in this modern age. im also pregnant and I feel soooo blessed to have found him at this point of my life 💓

@Marie Michaels thank you😊

I totally agree! I’m pre-diabetic and been on a diabetic diet for 20 years and I’m still not on meds! It’s simple and very sustainable, unlike fad diets.

We only have Aldi in our rural town. Costco and Trader Joe's are at least an hour away.

I’d like to see this too. Especially since there are so many gimmick diabetes ‘education’ videos on KZfaq.

Yes adi please

yes please, the closest Whole foods to me is 3 hrs away. my choices for groceries are limited

Another request for Aldi. Thanks for these videos!

I so wish that this knowledge was plastered everywhere on billboards, busses, on the local news.....EVERYWHERE......some life saving information right here.

Very true whispergirl...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?

Bobby I just love watching you and getting so much information on foods. I was just diagnosed with diabetes. I am so glad I came across your channel on this topic. Keep doing what you do best.

Yes that's what I'm saying. Keep up the good work.

I understand the struggle first hand. I'm disabled and living on a poverty level amount of money. Because I live with my daughter, I don't qualify for food help. It can definitely be expensive eating organic and grain free, etc. I think some of the most affordable ways to help yourself are to switch out your unhealthy cooking oils, eat that chickpea pasta and look into the dirty dozen vegetables and try to get organic in those at least. Aldi's and Walmart has good options and he has videos for these. Oh, and look for simple ingredients on the label. The longer the ingredients, the worse it is. All the best! (Possibly find a farmers market or co-op...... and ask if they have used pesticides or not)

You nailed it on that one yeah I'm 51 years old I'm disabled and I have diabetes and of course being low income I don't have any money left over to buy food that's healthy fruits and vegetables are so high price only the wealthy can afford it and you're right we who are on fixed incomes it's not our fault that we can't eat healthy like you said we're on on limited incomes when we can't afford this outrageous prices of vegetables and fruits and they're always hounding us you need to be healthy you need to eat your fresh fruits and vegetables well then help us out give us more money I guess only the wealthy can eat healthy which is unfortunate

At 69 and trying to make sense of shopping and preparing meals for myself is problematic what with all the scams as well. A new type 2 on a fixed income the cost is prohibitive. This us the best site I have seen. A book with a 30 day or weekly menu and prep on this site would be wonderful.

@@patriciaholloway keep in mind that most cities have funds for agricultural help. Check out the churches and senior centers for free produce giveaways. Call 211 and ask fir resources for seniors healthy eating. Food banks are often available too. You can do it. It just takes careful planning!

​@Leola Kimbler frozen are just as good...there are tons of good choices that will improve your health, you may not be able to do organis everything...and thats ok too

Just like any other diseases. Am not diabetic but I worry for my husband he thinks it’s okay and nothing crazy sick will happen to him his A1C is 12 and the highest he has gone for sugar is 340 he cares” less🤷🏾‍♀️ watching for him

@@lovekindness7389 I'm so sorry.. it's stressful on everyone when a family member who you love dearly just doesn't care about their sugar levels or what they eat. I've experienced it, and I've suffered a loss of a best friend and family members who didn't make eating healthy a priority being diabetic. I wish I had an answer and I'm sorry I don't. I will say this- eat healthy for yourself 💗 Help him when you can. Talk to him as much as you can. He'll be scared if something happens to him. I'm positive he doesn't want that😔. I'll pray he wants to get better. God bless you and stay safe🤗

I just recently being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and this is all new to me... I have no idea where to start and how to make my first meal once I leave the hospital.... I know they have cooking courses for diabetics but I don’t want to wait until then, I want to start as soon as I leave. Any tips or ideas on how to make healthy meal preps for Type 2 diabetics ? Send help please !

Very true Libbey...You have said it all, What city are you watching from?

I have HS which is a chroinc inflammatory skin disease that causes painful boils in hihgly sensitive areas. Im also diabetic which is probably xausjng the HS to flare even more. Because most medical professionals do not understand HS or how to help people.manage it...those that suffer are desperate. There is one book "The Hidden Plaque" that states an elimination diet is a must to find food triggers. I believe chia seeds...flax seeds etc are a no no...please do a segment on what HS sufferers can eat.

Your a nutritionist and I was wondering what to do during chemo treatments I have lost too much weight and the keto I was eating is tearing me apart. I can't put enough fat in my body to use it to burn because it makes me sick. My oncologist just wants me to eat anything and everything and says when we are done he will help build my body back. He knew I was doing keto. Any suggestions? I got a bad hankering for fruit.

He's not a nute. Why don't uu do a show??

@@stormyweather8798 What is a nute?

@@nancymuller3291 Nutritionist. Bobby has literally no qualifications to be making dietary recommendations like this It's dangerous and anyone looking for dietary advice should seek out a registered dietitian.

Do tell. I’ve just been diagnosed with type 2 a month ago.Numbers were high so on Metformin. I’ve studied hard since and realize now that most modern food is poison and the food industry are killing us.Ive changed diet and lifestyle to hopefully not take medicine in the future. Please share ur experiences and lifestyle changes so we can benefit Thank you.

How have you done this? I was just diagnosed and I’m so filled with anxiety. Please share, I want to live for my son...

@@jewelglaspie7431 try and go low carb. Use almond, coconut flour. Swap out high sugar carby fruits for berries. Eat non starchy veg. Eggs and meat are low carb. Have healthy fats like nuts,avavodo and olive oil. Use almond,hazelnut,cashew milk. Use Stevia,erythritol, and monkfruit for sweetness. Take supplements b complex. Look into magnesium and chromium. Sleep good reduce stress. There's plenty of low carb replacements. Dark chocolate no added sugar. Drink drinks without sugars and sweeteners. Watch low carb KZfaqrs for cooking ideas. But most importantly buy a blood meter test test test. Avoid stuff that has dextrose, maltodextrin, mailitol etc. You can do this. Eat yogurts sugar free plain ones. You can do this. Comment back if you need more advice.

@@tonymurray814 so what do you eat? Thank you

@@Mina-ti9nh so what do you eat? Ground turkey burgers, grilled salmon, veggies and salad? Can you have cheese? Help. Thank you

Glad u ate GOOD food .my pocketbook was deprived however..LOOK AT THE PRICES MR.BOBBY..WHAT DO LOW INCOME PPL DO??? WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION FOR THAT BOBBY..I HAVE BEEN ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION FOR A YEAR NOW WITH NO RESPONSE FROM U....NOT HELPING...WHAT U SPEND FOR WEEKEND I HAVE TO MAKE STRETCH FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS...DO U HAVE A SOLUTÌON FOR ME OR WILL I BE CONTINUOUSLY IGNORED?

@@barbaradingeldein1273Bobby is not a financial adviser, he is not a physician, you have to work within your budget, even if the budget is low. A lot of the Asian grocery stores sell food at much lower prices than regular food markets, find one and other ethnic grocery stores, they are usually cheaper. Also try the food pantries, where I live in Ohio, there are multiple locations, I mean a lot of locations where you can get free food. Where I go they usually have tuna fish, steaks, chicken, some fish, lots of canned goods and bread if you can eat it. I have found that I spend less food on groceries eating a lower carb diet. Just stick with the basics: leafy greens, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, tomatoes, spaghetti squash, I buy a large one, cook it and the store some in my freezer, there is a long list of vegetables you can eat and really, buy what you can afford. No need to get angry at Bobby, do what you can to get healthier with what you can afford, another thing, try to grow some of your own vegetables, if you live in an apartment, you can grow like cherry tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, different herbs, I did that. There are a lot of videos on KZfaq that show you how to grow vegetables in containers, this can greatly cut down on cost of food and look for community gardens in your area, find service that is offered, if you are 50 and older, look at AARP, they have a lot of services, go to your community centers, a lot of senior community centers have a lot of services. It is not a hopeless situation, there are things that you can do. I really, look forward to the day when food is not an issue, something that was promised to us all, but right now we have to do what we can do

Did you see the prices of the oils? Who can afford this?

Same principles for pre-diabetic diet as for diabetics diet.

Cut out white foods.

Hate to break it to you, but it’s literally the same 😐

Can you talk about serving size

@@kristicunningham8704 Serving sizes are listed on the package. To be totally accurate you have to have a food scale and weigh them out.

So much info online...recipes...etc

You need to make your meals low carbohydrates, that doesn’t mean you not allowed any carbs, you can have whole meal pasta and bread in small quantities, then main meals stick to veg and meat, chicken eggs dairy, cheese, yogurt Greek style Fage is good. And replace potatoes with sweet potatoes they are better for you.

@@debiwillis9045 Unfortunately, there's a lot of misinformation out there that isn't this detailed and the details were exactly what I was looking for so I could make the best decisions to move forward with. I don't understand the point of your comment though. It wasn't really helpful or insightful.

@@sandrawestley4193 Well he pretty much says exactly that in the video, but thanks for the reiteration. :)

I was gonna say the same. We used to eat both the attached parts of the leaves and the heart even raw ... You don't have to always cook artichoke !

Yes do true that's how my mother cooks them used to eat them more

Hi don’t know how you’re doing with your health but I pray all is well. I too don’t eat vegetables or fruits & of just junk food. Found out 2 days ago that am pre diabetic. My mom had diabetes & it’s something that I always say I didn’t want just so that I can enjoy my junk food well after finding out I was pre diabetic it gave me a scare because now I have to eat what I don’t like. I always would blend my fruits & veggies to make a smoothie & would make Haitian epis to cook with so I would suggest you try those options to add in some veggies until myself start this healthy diet journey
