I did a permanent fast, I'm now sending this message from heaven no more diabetes result 👍

I stopped eating pasta, rice, white potatoes, sugar, juice, no dairy except low fat cheese, no salt, fats except for avocado. type 2 diabetic with an A1C 6.3 and before that it was 5.7. Being unable to excercise I got my A1C down to 5.4 by watching my diet. My husband reitred and started cooking A1C 6.3. It will be checked again in January. I had not eaten corn or peas at that time. They were not part of my diet. I have never taken medication for diabetes and I always kept a record of everything I ate and how many carbs it was. Never ate over 45mg carbs any meal, no salt over 140 mg but did not eat salt. Sugar in food had to be 4 or 5 mg. The right food is very important. Thank you very much for a very educational and informative video. I appreciate it very much.

I’m trying intermittent fasting and it’s really working. I’m fasting 16/8. Its so easy b/c it doesn’t cost money, I don’t worry about calorie counting, just my portions. It’s the first time in months that my weight has gone down. 245lbs. Down to 227 in 2 months. I’m definitely sticking with this.

Excellent video! Been dealing with DM1 for 22 years and being a ICU RN I see so many people come into the hospital with DM1 a disaster after 10 years of diagnosis. The difference between these individuals and the individuals who have no complications is, motivation. You either have it or you don’t. So grateful for videos like this that give me tips I might have not known!

I eat low carb and do intermittent fasting (stop eating at night). I also cut out sugary foods, pasta, and bread most of the time. My glucose levels have been great since following that! But its a lifetime change so I have to follow that.

A great video. All the things I’ve already learned & putting into practice. Thank you.❤

Great video. What I do to lower my sugars pretty fast is a hot cup of cinimon sticks (the loose type), bay leaf, and lemon. It usually drops my sugars at least 20-30 pts within 30 minutes.

The video has given me so much hope. you are really great guy.

I love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with others. God bless you and cheers to good health!

This was a very informative video. Worth the time watching..

Thank you for your very educational and informative video. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.

❤Thanks for the information! I'm eating better, exercising, and have lost 11lbs. I enjoyed learning about healthy foods. I eat more protein, almonds, avocados, and salads. My sugar was 88 today; 90 minutes after eating.

Glad to find the channel. Lack of exercise, carrying too much weight got me here! One positive, attention to diet and exercise all good for longevity. Subscribed.

Night Highs: I was recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and was then told by my Endocrinologist that it was a contributing factor to my BG highs because of the stress it produces on my body.

This brother is good!!

Hello. I like your shirt. Thanks for our diabetes community.

Exercise is a must.. Walking or elliptical exercise works well for me

I’ve been a Type1 diabetic since 1973. The one thing that has improved my hB1ac levels and high blood sugar overall is the Carnivore “diet” and taking Berberine. My A1c’s after 2.5 months on the Carnivore were 5.5, they should be about 4.9 after 6 months

Many thanks!

Outstanding video!🎉😊

As a shift worker of 37 years, age16-55, that include 1800-0600 night shifts, 0600-1800, 0700-1900, I discovered I was type 2 diabetic at 44 y/old. Since then I've constantly struggled to keep my blood sugars under control, even using metformin and cutting out raw sugar and white carbs, naughty snacks. I know 3 other guys at work who have done roughly the same, 30-40 years of shift work, All have become type 2 diabetic between 40-50 years old and are struggling to keep their blood sugars low, despite meds and changes in diet. My diabetic nurse told me, shift work massively promotes type 2 diabetes, especially night work and over many decades. After witnessing myself and my 3 workmates all being struck down with type 2 diabetes in their 40's and 50's and not being to overweight, I'm realizing that shift work is a major problem and does contribute hugely to getting type 2 diabetes. My diabetic nurse told me that shift work and especially night work kills your body clock, your body clock doesn't function in a natural way. The problems created by not having your body clock function correctly include, eating meals at different times depending on what shift your working. Blood sugar levels bouncing all over the place because your food is being broke down at different times of the day, shift dependant. Your activity levels vary, dependant on shift. Poor quality sleep because of irregular hours and patterns. Erratic Appetite & food cravings because your body clock is screwed up. Toilet visits, urination and passing stools become irregular, shift dependant. Depleted immune system due to poor quality, irregular sleep patterns. Irregular blood pressure, shift dependant. Fatigue, feeling tired all the time due to shift changes, messed up body clock, badly regulated blood sugar levels. Decreased Serotonin levels, especially during night shifts, this plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire. I'm sure there's plenty of other contributing factors that are a type 2 diabetic's nightmare and make regulating your blood sugars near impossible, My diabetic nurse srongly recommended changing my work, getting away from shift work but I'm 55 y/old soon and it doesn't make sense financially/career wise at this late stage. Basically I have to ride it out for a few more years and manage my blood sugars the best I can with meds, diet and excercise and try and sleep well. I've shared all my experiences with shift work and type 2 diabetes here because most people are not aware of the link, Even most Gp's and medically trained people fail to mention it, hopefully in the future, recognition will become more apparent. As a last pointer, I'll share two things I use to help regulate blood sugars, they are NOT a miracle cure but help me gain a little more control. Within the first hour of waking up, I have a bowl of unsweetened porridge, dotted with ground ceylon cinnamon from a pepper pot. I also drink lots of straight water with a sliced lemon and one teaspoon full of raw organic apple cyder vinegar in a glass, topped up with more water throughout the day Note: If you choose to experiment with sliced lemon and apple cyder vinegar, MAKE SURE you clean your teeth afterwards as it's very acidic in nature. Good luck to everyone, thank's for the video.

I love this guy. I’m a do tans I enjoyed watching this very much. Thank you

Oh no. I got so excited when you said have a couple of drinks before bed that I almost dropped my phone and ran for the fridge for a beer. My heart sank when I realised you're joking. Jokes aside. Thanks for the advice.

Where in the world did you film this? It looks lovely.

Much love and respect for your time. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Excellent, best explaination ever. Straight to the point. No jargon. It's all great tips here. It's a pity the doctors in Ireland don't go through it like this.

Do you have a Book out I subbed you,You told me more in one video then all the videos and books I readThank you!!!❤🎉👍👍💟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good one.

Learned so much through this video. THANKFUL!

Great Thanks

@3:36 Alcohol is not the way to go for a healthy lifestyle but if you do want to take alcohol on a night out without spiking BG, Spirits are the way to go. Spirits like Vodka, Whiskey or Rum diluted with water for instance will not raise BG levels at all… In fact these will probably lower BG levels while drinking but stay aware of BG levels because it can cause you to go low but you may not feel it x Stay safe everyone xx

I am Pre diabetes. My Doctor told me that I'm pre diabetes but she did not give me any medication. She said my blood sugar is not high enough to put me on drugs but she recommended that I should consult a Dietician. Which i did. I have been told to avoid surgery foods and Cabs. I have stopped eating white rice, bread etc. I sometimes eat wholemeal bread. I am seriously aware of Gi, foods. Most of the time now i Google the food to know the Gi before eating it. 😁😜. Now I'm used to it and it really helps me. You just need to be very serious. What i gained from this video is "Exercise". I will now be doing more exercise. Is it possible for me to permanently have normal blood sugar levels?

My favourite ways to bring down my blood sugar are going for a walk around the pond in my apartment or working out in my apartment's exercise room. Strength workouts for me sometimes is better than a cardio workout.

tnx for your advice i’m from philippine

Thank you so much

I really learned a lot from this video by you, even after 9 years having diabetes type 1. Thanks a lot for your great tips :)

Thank you❤️

Exercise and fasting work. Thank you

Verrrrry beneficial

I learn a lot from your video i am prediabetic and it helps me to do something about it and this video gave me an answer to reduce my blood sugar level.Thank you so much

I regularly fast. At least 12 hrs. It does help.

Thank you for all the great information.I shared your video my aunt who has type 1 diabetes. She learnt lots of things she didn’t know. Please make a video about DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating). She has been trying it. Not sure how successful she's been.

I am 20 and have type 2 diabetes for 3 years

I do take long-acting. I take 16 units in the morning, down from 35 units, and even after my regular coffee, I do not need to use short-acting insulin for the most part. And even though my endrocologist gave me a range of up to 15 units based on the number, I am no longer insulin resistant and with low carbohydrate intake, I never need more than 4 units a day if ever. I occasionally cheat, but it's probably once or twice a month... I fast 18/6 as a lifestyle

Good video! Interesting as you are right that one shoe doesn't fit all! I am on MDI using Tresiba/Lyumjev and for me I try to eat dinner early around 5 PM and avoid high amount of protein and fats as it takes a long time to digest those and I end up with high blood glucose levels for hours and have to take multiple boluses of Lyumjev one at dinner then another 2 to 3 hours and sometimes again 4 to 8 hours if it was particularly high fat meal, which is unfortunate because I've already fallen asleep and have to wake up to bolus! When I eat higher amount of carbs for dinner I take a higher bolus of Lyumjev and it sometimes it's one and done! Also my Tresiba basal insulin never changes and if I get my blood glucose levels good before bedtime and don't eat a high fat dinner, 95% of the time I wake up with my blood glucose level between 70 and 100. In the morning I have the most problems with high carbs as my blood glucose goes up fast with things like cereals and if I want to have them I have to bolus 15 minutes early and at a higher level to compensate. However I usually go to the gym 3 days a week and like to get my blood glucose higher around 130 to 170 beforehand because it always drops with exercise and carbs are a great way to do that and they also give me the fuel I need to have a good work-out. Following that my a1c is always around 5.7 and TIM around 90% and I rarely see any insulin resistance issues and have had no diabetic complications having been a T1D for 45 years.

Hello, am a type 2 and have been following your videos - very educative. Am commenting from Nairobi Kenya. Kindly help me in knowing the type of watch you are using and if you can help me get one. I have a very big challenge in monitoring my sugars. Thanks and best regards.

Thank you

I am. T2 and also in late stage PD, so exercise is very hard for me. I cannot fast for more than a few hours as some meds must be taken with food. Water here is toxic. But i do get help with supplements and herbs.

I appreciate your presentation. You got my full attention. Question. In a plant based diet, can you outline. Several good Breakfast choices and several good lunch choices. I did not include dinner because you said 6pm should be last consumption.

It is simple... Chronic stress.. is whats affecting your glucose.. Manage your stress levels.. Cortisol + adrenaline surges are the main role in why the numbers are perceive as high... change your thoughts.. and change what you perceive as stress.. meditate and take vitamins and workout.. oh and Magnesium, Potassium, electrolytes.. because most numbers also get that high from dehydration as well.. especially if you are taking other pills... some medications are causing vitamin deficiencies in the body raising the levels as well..

🎉FANTASTIC EXPLANATION

Very informative, thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Very very helpful. I am sure that you know what you are doing .i am impress good health to youc god bless.

Walking the same distance as you ran will burn the same calories, it just takes longer to get that far. So walk when you can because it means less wear and tear on your joints, run if you have limited time available.

I think its great that after 35 years you have your

As a type 2 diabetic who does keto and fasting, I too was having dawn effects almost every morning, so for a few months now I've been taking creatine a few hours before bed in a protein shake and since taking the creatine I no longer get dawn effects in the morning, now I'm not a Dr but this is what's worked for me, also keep in mind that i am very strict with myself in keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be.

You are awesome God bless you

💕💕💕 that you are trying plant based! It is the ONLY way I have had ANY success in this journey. Low fat, plant based is not easy in many ways, but provides the best bs control for me and I have been following Dr. Joel Furhman and Dr. Neal Barnard for over 10 years. Wish I could do more exercise, but the poly neuropathies make that very, very difficult. Paleo and Keto seem to work for some, but I prefer as plant based as I can, mainly because of the increased energy levels. I don’t get that from the other diets, and intermittent fasting can also be a challenge. Great video! One of your best!

This is an overwhelming video, great testing and very informative…. May I ask what watch make are you using, and do you still use this watch today, Thanks good sir.

Really it depends what we eat last night. I take a new supplement in the mkt gluhealth And works only if i still inject my insulin less than the usual 30 units to 20 From 158 it goes down to 98. Now i excercise just for 15min coz im 74 yrs old n have heart problem. Thank you sir.

Thanks for this video. Hope I can make it, too

Good content, i wonder what brand is that blood sensor you have. Thank you.

Hi there, very interesting video, it gave some insides. 5 years ago I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and after giving birth still had high bs in the morning, I have tried many different ways and interestingly only low fat plant base help me lower my bs. I couldn't believe it cause doctors always told me get rid of carbs, and honestly I hate it, don't feel comfortable with high protein foods. Anyways I didn't stick it for to long cause of social pressure. Now I am fasting quiet often and will start with low fat plant base diet 😊

I started keto as a type 2 and biking 12 Minute HIIT in the morning drives my dawn phonomime down in a big hurry. I check my BP in the morning and its been a lot better. I'll be checking out more of your vids in the future. What kind of chips were you having towards the end of the video.

Hi thanks you are really helping me and your English is clear. one question is that what type of watch do you caring, because so many out their and i having found the right one?

Hello Tom, I'm a reasonably longtime Subscriber. I'm 66. I'm going to write a comprehensive post for the benefit of the other Subscribers. Not you and me. I'm insulin dependent like you are. I'm using Novolog Asperate (10 Units fast/short acting) and Novolin N (15 Units long acting) 3 times a day. I check my blood sugar when wake up (6AM - 8AM). I then take both my insulins. 10 units on the fast acting Novolog Asperate, and 15 units on the Novolin N . I wait 45 minutes before I eat, but I'll start having my coffee no sugar, with a little milk. I have awaken with a blood sugar of 45 Mg/Dl... not good! Actually if my blood sugar gets to low while I'm sleeping my body wakes me up, and I can feel my blood sugar is low, because I feel calm and serene.. until I move!, LOL. When I start moving I start feeling shaky and start slowly sweating like I've got a fever. I don't stop to think. I move to the kitchen quickly and take 2 tablespoons of either raw honey or maple syrup. I've always got those in the kitchen. After I take the honey or maple syrup... within 2 minutes the sweating and shaky goes away. If I didn't do anything else after I take the honey or syrup..., like eat. I know from experience... that my blood sugar with top out at about 160 Mg/Dl. At which point. I take my normal level shots and "only wait" 20 minutes instead of the hour I usually wait before eating. At that point I'm back to my normal routine, of checking my blood sugar an hour later and then 30 minutes later. What I eat for breakfast varies. Sometimes it's 1 cup of Rice Chex (pronounced checks) with 1/2 a cup Blueberries and a little raw honey. Or, some other unsweetened grain cereal with Blueberries, or sometimes it's a good chunk of Cantaloupe with a couple pieces of Toast and REAL BUTTER. There have been times when I made the mistake of not check my blood sugar before I wen to bed. In my case... If my blood sugar is to high when I'm sleeping! I will!... not maybe!... but, I will!... have very vivid negative dreams... commonly called nightmares. When I wake up in the middle of the night from one of those. I get up and check my blood sugar. And it's always high. If it's 250 Mg/Dl I'll give myself 5 Units of the Novolog Asperate (fast acting) instead of my normal 10 Units. and go back to bed. Knowing that when I wake up it'll be somewhere between 70 to 115 MG/Dl. Those of you that are reading my long comment need to realize that there is NO ONE STANDARD for any diabetic, because all our bodies are different. What there are... are guidelines! What we as diabetics MUST REALIZE IS... that from our diagnosis of diabetes. We are now on a journey of at least a year to having to pay a great deal of attention to what we eat, when we it and the RESULTS OF OUR PERSONAL BLOOD-GLUCOSE METER RESULTS AND WRITE THEM DOWN IN A NOTEBOOK SO YOU CAN REVIEW THEM EVERYDAY! So you can start figuring you body out! You need to look at the packaging for carbohydrates per serving, and WRITE EVERTHING DOWN in a notebook until YOU BECOME AN EXPERT ON YOUR BODY'S METABOLISM AND BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF EATING AND OF THE DAY. So, after breakfast I check my blood sugar an hour later. It's usually up to 215 to 250 Mg/Dl . But that can be normal even for non-diabetics. The difference is... that non-diabetics blood sugar will go up after they eat, but will come back to the normal range almost as quickly. I'll then check my blood sugar an additional 30 minutes later to see it's direction up or down and how fast it's moving in that direction. It's usually coming down by then, and is usually either just under 200 Mg/Dl, or around 200 Mg/Dl by then. Then I'll check it around an hour or so later, and by then it's down to 120s to 140s Mg/Dl. At 66 years old I'm not doing the same kind of physical activities, and same amount of time doing physical activities that I was doing even in my 40s and 50s. As we get older we do not need to being eating they way we were programmed to do. Breakfast, Lunch and Supper/Dinner.

This is great insight. I have type 2 diabetes. Hope to conquer

Where did you buy the watch that monitor your sugar level? Could you please let me know...thanks so much🙏🏻

Thank you ! I am type 2 your info. help...
