It is also possible that his body will continue to become insulin resistant/ less capable of metabolizing sugar just due to aging. Which is why he's more likely (at a higher risk) of T2D later in life. For him it would be progression, for others to would be a new diagnosis.

Getting your A1c lowered has nothing to do with being diabetic. I'm type 1 and had an a1c of 4.5 at one point (With very strict low carb diet). My current is a 5.7. It's just a measure of blood sugar levels, not insulin efficiency, which would truly determine "cured" or not.

I think Anastasia meant the fact that they were referring to themselves as " *on* a diet" instead in the way in which you're referring to it~where it'd be " *in* my diet I eat..." you know? everyone *has* a diet, but being *on* a diet is used as a word (in our culture -very commonly) as a short-lived thing. So yes, their diet is what their eating, but it's the lifestyle of how their eating that has changed (as well)
@anastasiaflanary5864 6 жыл бұрын
Phantrashnumber5 and Al Funcoot, that’s exactly what I meant. Being on a diet and changing you’re diet are very different. Modifying your diet, is to change your lifestyle long term, whereas being ON a diet is typically considered short term, and typically to lose weight.

Start small and work up - or find little adjustments. Add spinach to smoothies, you really can't taste it even if it makes the color a little weird. Add veggies to eggs or stir fries. Zoodles or cauli rice. Start with 1-2 cups and once you're comfortable with that add another one.

Personally I take my favorite foods and just add vegetables to it and put in less of the fats. For example, I love eggs with cheese. So I added spinach to it and replaced the splash of half and half I put in there with low fat milk. I also try to put less cheese. I also understand that this was probably a joke, but it is important to take health seriously. Take Care : )

Can you work off of the tips she shared in the video? They cover 90% of the tips any nutritionist would give you... 50% of your meal should be vegetables, 25% should be protein and the rest should be carbs and fat. Limit or remove gluten, dairy and sugar from your diet. Manage your stress levels to make sure your body responds. That should give you a good start, and after 90 days as you start seeing results you can build off it with other information that’s available on KZfaq! It’s a process, but it’s worth it and simple changes are the best way to start. Good luck :)

I work for a podiatrist and about 75% of the patient's we see are diabetics, whose blood sugars have gotten so high that it begins to cause nerve damage. They lose feeling in their feet (in extreme cases it is in the fingers), don't feel that they have injured themselves, which then results in a wound that is typically infected by the time we see it. This is the leading cause of amputations in diabetics since many don't heal very well. Please take care of yourself and monitor your feet closely!

I always come back to this video. I started with my A1C at 7.6 back in June 2019. September it was 6.0, but I had only cut out sugar and sodas. Ate pretty much the same, just portion controlled. October I went low carb, and I am currently waiting for my A1c results. The most important thing to know is that these guys have to maintain this way of eating for life, they will bring their numbers up the moment they start with their old ways. Once a diabetic always a diabetic. My new doctor was impressed with how my numbers are going down and he too is anxious to see how I do. He said “maybe you’re not diabetic anymore!” 🤦♀️

To the people in the video and to Buzzfeed -- I'm 27 and recently discovered that I'm prediabetic. I have been trying to look for a video to give me hope that I can overcome this and change for the better. This video lifted the weight off my chest and motivated me so much to do what I can until Jan 2020 when I get retested. Thank you thank you THANK YOU. Wish me luck 🌻

Society has made diabetes a shameful word and its not okay. As a type 1 diabetic, I constantly have people who don't understand my illness judging me for not taking better care of myself, when there is NOTHING that i could have done differently to prevent it. Yes, most of the time diabetes is a result of poor lifestyle choices, but there are other factors involved and sometimes it can't be prevented.That goes for type 1 and 2 alike. Its not my fault I have this for life, and i wish people would stop to think before putting us all into the same shameful box.

type 2 is lifestyle...type 1 is something you can't control your body just doesn't produce insulin.

Yes he has to take care of himself by watching what he eats, but it's not the meals that caused his diabetes.

I’ve don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video and hearing him say he isn’t diabetic anymore kinda made me cry. I have been a type one diabetic for fifteen years now and I’m super close with diabetic both type one and two. I love hearing type two diabetics say they aren’t diabetic any however it does make me a little sad cause I am a type one which means I’ll have it forever. Thing is I love being diabetic it has made me more confident in myself and I’ve also been able to talk more about it if anyone has questions. Thank you for this video it made me happy that he said he was not longer diabetic. Also thank you for inserting notes about the two type. People tend to only know one.
