    I'm a 67 year old male that has dealt with Type 2 diabetes for over 10 years. I've followed all ADA recommendations with very poor results (because their guidelines are flawed!)
    I was taking 2000mg of Metformin daily and had an A1c of 9.6. My doctor recommended adding Jardiance to my daily meds. When I found out that Jardiance would cost me over $700 a month, it was a real wake-up call. I started my research, and decided to adopt a carnivore diet (beef, bacon, eggs, and water) with 10 miles per day on the exercise bike. I quit my Metformin within 2 weeks because my blood glucose reading were so low. In less than 3 months, my A1c had dropped to 6. I am no longer on any medications and I feel so much netter!

      Pure carnivore is bad for the heart just avoid carb and sugar and eat vegetables too

      This is the truth. T2 can essentially be cured by going true Keto or Carnivore. I'm in a similar boat except A1C of 14, and everything including my lipid panels (cholesterol etc.) dropped to normal levels after 4 months. Don't fall for the lies of the sugar industry, establishment medical, sugar/carbs are the enemies, not fat.

  • @Suelynngrr
    @Suelynngrr หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Wow! I am a bit shocked at some of this advice!!! I have been on Statins for decades (FH) and they gave me diabetes. I have been on some of the diabetes meds stated here and have NOT improved. Thankfully, I have taken advice from doctors who study metabolic disorders and have gone on a LOW CARB diet and decided to stop taking statins. I don't need diabetes and possible dementia down the road thank you. I have also stopped Invokana and almost done with Gliclazide because my A1C is coming down and I am now seeing readings of around 5 at some points in the day. My best advice to anyone is to AVOID the meds and look at your diet. Eat proper WHOLE foods and avoid sugars and carbs. Don't eat highly processed foods (that come in a box or packet and has a label with a list of ingredients!) The Canadian Diabetes Association still uses the "plate" as advice for diabetics.... 1/2 plate of fruit and veggies, 1/4 plate grains and 1/4 plate proteins. Stick to the proteins and eat non-starchy veg. Skip the fruit (fructose). cut out the grains, and watch yourself lose that nasty weight!!! I am also more alert to possible side effects of drugs which are often NOT discussed. Big pharma and big food are invested in selling their products and gaining customers. REAL food is what the body needs.

    I am 68 years old and was taking Ozempic for approximately 1 year. I did lose 20 lbs, but the ozempic totally messed up my digestive system. I could not eat. I was full all the time. Food did not leave my stomach for days and by the time I just quit taking it of my own accord, i was terribly constipated and at one point did not have a bowel movement for over 2 weeks. It has been about 5 months since I stopped taking the drug and my digestive system is almost back to normal., I am controlling my diabetes with basaglar only and my A1C has been below 7.

    Odd, after ten years or so on Metformin and Glipizide, my body told me that I DID NOT LIKE GLIPIZIDE! I cut the dose to half, but still felt a terrible need to nap around noon after an eight AM dose of the Glipizide. I finally just stopped the Glipizide, period, and no longer have a crash after noon for no reason! My A1c is now still 6.4.......................elsullo

    I had great results with Farxiga and Trulicity. This included great glycemic control and weight loss. I was also able to go off insulin. I had to stop taking them both because of the extreme price. I am retired on a fixed income so spending $1,400 a month for two medications just was not practical. This forced me back on Metformin and Glipizide. I had to also resume some insulin. My A1c typically runs 6.0 to 6.4, so no problem there. Thank you for the video!

    I completely reversed my 35 years of type 2 diabetes which required 2 different medications + insulin. I did it when I discovered the ketogenic diet! After 6 months I am off of ALL of my type 2 diabetes medication and insulin as well as my blood pressure medications. I think that all MD’s should absolutely be required to have a minimum of 6 months of dietary studies before they can graduate with their degree. Stop supporting the pharmaceutical companies and junk food industries. Prescribe a proper human diet and cure diabetes just like I did! At all costs, DO NOT take any advice from the ADA because they are completely backed and supported by the food and drug companies.

With a massive change in diet and an uptick in exercise, 3 months later my A1C was 6.2, and has been there since, just diet/ exercise/ jardience.

    As someone who was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic as is normal i was started on
    Metformin, i was very ill with it, and once i did some research i found out why.
    It is reknown for many side effects but by far the worst are the way you end with a very bad stomach
    even when taken with food, the slow release one is little better.
    I am now taking Berberine, and fingers croosed it suits me far better, doctors only prescribe Metformin
    because it is cheap, i would rather pay for my treatment than suffer with a fear of loosing sight of a bathroom.!

    I was diagnosed five years ago. I did a little research adopted time restricted eating and stopped eating anything with added or excessive sugars and cut out the starches. My A1C went from 12.2 down to 5.7 in six months. I lost weight and my blood pressure went back to normal. I had come off the metformin and if I had known then what I know now I would have never been on it.

  • @larkendelvie
    @larkendelvie หลายเดือนก่อน

    For me what works right now is combo of 1000 mg of Metformin and 15 Humulin a day plus eating 1200 calories a day and walking for 10 minutes after each meal. That gives me 6.5 A1C and slight weight gain (about 5 pounds a year). I should point out that I not only have Type 2 diabetes but also heart failure due to a severe infection many years ago. I can't take more Metformin (I have a very embarrassing side affect when I've tried, maybe related to the fact that I no longer have a gall bladder). I was on Jardiance combined with Metformin a few years ago and lost weight on that combo but unfortunately a change in my health insurance forced that to change. Biggest advice I can give is to insistently work with your doctor. There is a combination out there that will work for you -- just has to be found. It's not easy but can be done.

    Great vid, thanks much for this Dr Risinger. Everyone needs to know about the change in guidelines for T2D. 🙏
    My mother’s T2D, and unfortunately her doctors have been VERY conservative with her treatment (seems to be a Kaiser Permanente thing).
    One didn’t know what Wegovy was, another touted insulin as “the gold standard” in treatment, and pooh-pooh’d GLP-1s as ‘risky’ due to possible hypoglycemia. 😒
    Only very recently did they prescribe her an SGLT-2 inhibitor (she’s already on metformin and insulin), and my guess is it still won’t be quite enough.
    Her Hba1c has been around 9 w/the other meds, not completely horrific, but it’s been a *very persistent* 9 with her. She also has physical ailments which preclude much in the way of exercise. 😕
    My one concern re: GLP-1 use for her is that she has *HF-rEF,* and I’m not certain as to how that complicates matters.
    HF-pEF, conversely, seems to improve some with GLP-1 usage. 🤔

      My PCP and endocrinologist always talk about diet first. The problem is not everyone wants to make those changes so the meds are prescribed to get the values under control. Ultimately, it's up to the patient as you said. The most important factor for me was weight loss. The "what you eat" didn't matter as much as "how much you eat". I have to be in a calorie deficit to do well. Way too much fear mongering out there about certain types of foods. I've lost almost 60 pounds and I still eat bread, pasta, and some potatoes.
