Get her tested… type 1 does appear in children and its autoimmune…praying🙏🏼

Yes. Get her tested, then you will know for sure. Her life depends on it, if she is type 1. Type 1 used to be called Juvenile diabetes, but anyone can get it at ANY age. The beta cells in the pancreas stop producing insulin…a life threatening situation.

Yes, more on diabetes would be very helpful.❤

As a T1 diagnosed 58 years ago I have to say that an A1C of 5.2 is absolutely amazing! Congratulations!

@@montanamike53 yes, it is, thank you very much!🙏🏻

Wow keep up the good work!

Are you still considered diabetic if it's 5.2? It's that with treatment and diet?

@@josephrattien3176 thanks! Yes, I will. I'm keto-carnivore now and it's working pretty well. Always my doctor is checking my liver, kidneys and everything every 3 months so we can make sure it goes well.

The ADA's suggested menus are trash. I had gestational diabetes (wouldn't have been diabetic if I wasn't pregnant- numbers have to be lower when you're pregnant for some reason). The leaflet the nurse gave me made my blood sugar go higher. The main thing is to reduce carbs and increase protein. For me, I ate my carbs early in the day. I drank apple cider vinegar in water after dinner to control morning fasting glucose levels, 2T in a huge glass of water. After 2 or 3 days my morning numbers were great. Drink a lot of water and unsweetened green tea. Staying hydrated dilutes the sugar content of your blood. Stevia doesn't spike your insulin, so it's a good option if you're diabetic and want a sweetener. Just make sure there aren't additives if you try it, as they can spike your insulin levels. You can make green tea "chai" by adding ginger, cardamom, cloves, and/ or cinnamon to the water. They all lower blood sugar levels, so whatever you like in that list is good for you. I ate a lot of huge salads with usually chicken added because I like chicken. I made salad dressing with olive oil, lemon and seasoned it myself. 😄 Eggs are good too. I went for walks or found Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video on KZfaq to use when it was bad/ hot weather outside. I hope some of these tips are useful.

- thank you for all the tips! I’ve just started the ACV. I drink a lot of water with lemons. Spinach salads with chicken because I feel safe with those. Also just started intermediate fasting. I feel like I at least have a direction. When I was first diagnosed I refused to accept it. Now that I’ve wrapped my mind around what it is and why my body does what it does. I can fight this disease. Lol I eat a lot of eggs(grassfed) and try not to eat anything fried unless I fry it myself because I only use avocado oil.

@@Quoteablemoments It sounds like you're on top of things! It's so great that you're taking charge right at the beginning and paying attention to what works for you. It's so sad when people just use medication as a way of continuing bad habits that caused their health problems in the first place. I hope you have a great doctor with great nurses who listen to and encourage you.

Also, fasting is so good for your health. You have to be careful to get all of your calories, though. You can add cheese, nuts, avocado, etc., to your salads- things that are high calorie but really good for you. 👍

- exactly I didn’t want to just bandaid ( medicine) the gunshot wound(diabetes) my mom was diabetic, she passed away. I was really educated about the disease at that time. I think doctors believe it’s to hard to get people to change their lifestyle so just give them medicine. I very particular about what I put in my body am taking Metformin until I can control it myself.

Classic book from the 1970s : "Sugar Blues". Taught me that refined sugar is poison, and how it's inside so many foods... 🙄

I'm starting to make them myself. Today I'm making all black bean nacho chips with no corn or junk in them and using some sea salt. You can Google no sugar deserts, low carb meals and all bean nacho chips and find these many recipes today. Even no sugar marshmallows. There are ALOT of these on Pinterest too.

Sugar and carbohydrates dont cause diabetes, eating animal products in conjunction with refined carbohydrates, huge misconception

@@ldi1451 I've had largely well controlled diabetes 2 for 23 years and have read everything I could get my hands on. The answer to what causes diabetes is quite complicated but the things you say are all extremely harmful and exacerbate the condition if you are prone to it or have it. From my experience and all that I've read I believe this to be true. Genetic suceptibiliy to toxins in our environment and food and American diet all play a part. Lack of exercise too. All play a part and the ratio of those I've listed above in varying amounts varying differently for individuals all play a part in combination. Your best bet for control is what I've said above and I know this from success " in the trenches day to day for 23 years".

@@aliciastanley5582 thank you!!! 🤗🎉

@@ldi1451 I'm not sure & of course the doctors won't confirm it. But I do have to say that I have beat diabetes "knock on wood" after 3.5 years and definitely feel worse when I have to digest meat - I am mostly vegatarian now , so I do see some truth in your statement myself!! (Hubby thought I was nuts, soooo very glad to see you say it!!)👍💗

i agree, that's why i am a diabetic. I get lured in by the "good stuff" not. I am beginning to see my problem now.

How are you doing with your diet and A1C? My husband and dad have diabetes, and I'm finally realizing how important it is to change our eating. It's hard, but I think these videos are helping.

Congratulations Glenda! Stay strong, you can do it!

You can do it. I did it with keto. Good luck.

@@loririlling2538 Thanks Lori, I'm working on it.

@@teleraddd Thanks Monse. This is an ongoing project, I learn something new every day. Today I learned that they pulled a fast one on me with all these wheat products. So far my greatest find is monk fruit sweetener, finally got my coffee back to normal, that's a good start. I'm glad you are having success, my mood will probably improve also once I no longer crave nicotine, I am missing my vape. Kind of got hit with everything at once...

Those NSAIDS AND IBUPROFEN are really lousy for your heart. Try using topical Dr. McLean's Volcanic Oil from Amazon and the natural BUT ORGANIC Kratom. If you can't find it locally they have it at The Haven in Lansing, Michigan . Made by MIBOTANICALS.COM who doesn't sell it retail. You could try contacting them about a more local retailer.

don’t listen to the comment above me... kratom is completely unregulated, has high amounts of compounds like alkaloids that have absolutely no research verifying their safety, and can be extremely addictive.

@@user-ul8vf6cw2d Kratom been used successfully over 100 years in India Malysia, and many other country's. Addiction very low rate . there are always people addicted to literally ANYTHING. ONLY BUY ORGANIC!. Some years ago the GOV was going to put Kratom on the same forbidden list with marijuana but they had to take public comments first. 28,000 people responded and begged the government not to make it illegal because it helped them so much so they decided to keep it legal nationwide. The pharmaceutical companies want it illegal because it takes so much money from them so I fear trump will bend to their will so get it while you can. I found out about Kratom from a documentary on Netfix which relates how so many people for so many ailments are helped by this. In it they relate how 28k people told this to them. I'm not sure of the name of the film I think it is Miracle Leaf or. ( something) Leaf. You should check it out for yourself.

Claire, that’s soooo exciting. Wild just how significant a change to clean, good for you oils can make in your body. Way to go👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jane Kiceniuk great that you are supporting him. Watch for lower potassium and lower phosphate foods. I’m T2D and a kidney transplant recipient. Always willing to chat if you have questions about treatment modalities, diet, etc. Be well.

Yes!!! DASH DIET approved

I agree, DASH diet please !

Whole food plant based low in added salt and oils diet is the best for normalizing blood pressure without medications.

Don't listen to the plant-based diet people. Steak DOES NOT raise your blood pressure. Best advise - walk as fast as you can 20 minutes a day at a minimum, and avoid salty food, which outside of fruits and veggies, is mostly vegan food.

1chinaloa1 amen!

Fruit, stick to berries if you can. Most fruit is very high in sugar. Keto bread rolls are good. 2.5g of carbs per roll. Most cereals are way to high but you may be able to tolerate porridge. The problem is that everyone responds differently to different foods. Nuts are very low carb but watch the quantity if you are trying to loose weight.. eggs, meat, fish and low starch veg are all good. This is why there is no such thing as a diabetic diet. Best wishes x

T1 diabetes is Autoimmune. Look into the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). Dr Sarah Ballantyne's books and website will teach you more about this than your doctors ever will. www.thepaleomom.com/about/about-sarah/

If you haven't yet and are on Facebook, lookup Parents of Type 1 Diabetics, this has been super helpful for us and our daughter when she was diagnosed at 18 years of age almost 4 years ago. We are a great community helping each other during this difficult time in all our lives. God bless.

Most doctors will tell you to take medicine like metformin or glypizide. A keto diet and daily exercise has helped many type 2 diabetics get off of that medicine. Avacados, eggs, Macadamia nuts, pecans, walnuts, salmon and sardines are said to be good sources of fat. The rest is very low carbs, intermittent fasting and daily exercise. Look at this video on KZfaq kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8dkl9hqqNvboWQ.html

See the info I wrote on Hashimoto's above...diabetes is also autoimmune.

I live in Guyana an I have diabetes really wish I can know what to eat an what not to eat

@@gowmattiedevidhanukdhari4819 Have had diabetes for going on 24 years. Have done ALOT of research. If you can get Dr. Joel Fuhrmans book on fasting and eating correctly it's very helpful. Eat lots vegetables, some olive oil or avocado oil best. Lower sugar fruits, no rice potatoes pasta or white flower or sugar. Some ancient grains in maybe 1/4 cup twice a day- like quinoa, barley, amaranth. Beans a cup a day. Seeds and nuts ok. More moderate to lower fat meats 4 oz a day or few times week. Drink enough water but stay away from sugary juices. Coconut milk meat and juice ok. Mushrooms good. I don't know what kinds of foods are available to you but this is the basics. You are trying to keep your carbohydrate s down. Library books can reach you about that. Be very careful with processes store foods and can goods. Learn to read labels to stay away from trans fats and bad oils like safflower, vegetable, soy, canola, sunflower oils, and sugars , dextrose, sucrose, saccharin, aspartame, carageenan. Good luck. Get a blood sugar testing meter with strips and keep a record of your levels when u wake up. Don't dawdle to have breakfast and eat a little whole grain like 1/2 pc toast with peanut butter and throw some Stevia on it, or1/2 pc toast w eggs or other protein, maybe some hummus. Then test an hour after breakfast and hour after lunch and a hour after dinner to see what your levels are and try to rejig your food to lower the levels best u can. Be creative in making salad dressing w spices and herbs and olive oil lemon or vinegar or grapefruit JC and use Stevia as sweetener. Drink green teas cold or hot, same with coffee. Black teas if can't get green. Oh and exercise up to an hour at least every other day or 1/2 if that's all u can do. Fast walking, sit ups, use bricks or branches to lift weights. You won't bulk up but you will burn calories and help push the food u eat as body processes it into ur cells. I do early am after breakfast while it's still cool out.

I agree! I have been to diabetic educators on 3 different occasions. They don't have a clue about anything! They teach the complete opposite of what people truly need to know to control diabetes. They are puppets and mouth pieces for Big Pharma and the medical establishment who reap so much financially by keeping everyone just sick enough to keep them rich.

@@gowmattiedevidhanukdhari4819 Limit roti, plantain, rice and beans. Fruit in limited amounts, plenty of fish, pork, green veggies, all the bori you'd like 😉, etc.

@@aliciastanley5582 wow you’re awesome. Thank you for advices and sharing your knowledge to us Mam. If you don’t mind I ask, what type of diabetes do you have? Are you doing insulin shots? Thank you for your response

No grain of any kind for diabetic. Sorry but that's reality. He means well. Not being a diabetic himself, he has no frame of reference.

Vis M YES!!!!

Y E S PLEASE!!!

You may want to view Dr Berg’s videos on these topics. I reversed prediabetes on LCHF.

CARBS are ‘starches’. They are in all plant foods, but foods high in fiber slow down carb absorption so well that you can eat them. Eat dried beans, lentils, cooked whole grains such as wheat berries, vegetables such as green beans, leafy greens, beets, even sweet potatoes. White foods move quickly into your system, spiking blood glucose levels…ALL sugars, table sugar, brown sugar, fruit juices, honey, syrup, baked sweets, white potatoes, rice, pasta, even milk products have some carbs. GLUTEN has nothing to do with diabetes. It is in wheat and rye, which when ground and processed into flour, is also very high in carbs, just like sugar. Gluten severely affects people with celiac disease, and people with gluten sensitivity. Two different diseases. People with celiac and gluten sensitivity can eat sugar and/carbs by the bucket if they are not diabetic, But cannot anything with wheat or rye. Many diabetics can eat whole grain sourdough breads. DAIRY foods from cows and goats such as milk, cheese, yogurt have some carbs in them, (fresh milk tastes sweet). But only about 15% of human adults can digest milk easily. People descended from dairy farmers are in that 15%…certain Africans, Scandinavians. But adding certain cultures to milk makes them more digestible for most people…yogurt, cheeses.

@@mpoharper what is LCHF? Thanks for the reply

Be ready for the ups and downs girl.. you can manage it with good diet and knowledge. Check diabetes forums on reddit and on the web to get some support, I'm still on my journey, I wish u luck.

You both cahhhhn do it!! 💝🤗🎉

One thing that is critical for people to understand is you don't "Inherit" a disease. You may have inherited the genes that cause a propensity for the disease, but it's diet and lifestyle (epigenetics) that causes the disease to occur. We say "Nature loads the gun, but diet and lifestyle pulls the trigger".

Pamela Johnson you are some right !! That is why I lost 50 founds an I control this disease through my diet an I have never felt so great in my life . I just wish that my mother who suffered from this disease an my grandmother an my other grandmother who I inherited their genes who were strong beautiful an I mean gorgeous woman who didn’t know who gambled with this disease through their diet didn’t know all you need is God all you need is prayer to get you through this horrific disease an you can live with it , not everyone can do it through your diet it’s no such thing I lost 50 pounds an I’m sitting here thinking of how I can just have a little piece of chocolate. I’m only human an I’m not perfect . Thank you Bobby Parrish for all your help. I went to Aldi’s an a lot of your food choices I’ve tried before so I guess I’m doing great . The food choices are overwhelming if you don’t have help. Thank you

I was going to ask this. I am researching for a friend

Yes!!! My boyfriend has ulcerative colitis we both would love for him to be off the steroids

These two are now classified as Autoimmune...as most chronic diseases are (including diabetes) The root cause is leaky gut, and the treatment is the Autoimmune Protocol ( AIP). See my post below on Hashimoto's, another autoimmune condition.

Arif Ishmael a GERD diet would be so helpful. I’m struggling over here 😩
