Hi Dr Greger. I am reversing my 90 yr old mom’s diabetes thanks to you. Your grandmother’s story inspired me to think I could do the same. And it’s working! Thank you for all that you do. I have been following you for over 4 years and have been living the WFPB lifestyle. Best decision I ever made! We love you!
how did it go chief?
Hi, Dr. Greger,
I'm so happy to share my plant-based journey with you.
I'm 71 & had the gastric sleeve done a few years ago. I initially lost weight but then became stuck & the scale wouldn't budge. I switched to a vegetarian diet & was still stuck. I went plant based & I'm now down almost 100 pounds. My joints don't hurt anymore, no more back pain, I'm off my type 2 diabetes medication, my A1c is under 6, my blood pressure meds have been cut down several times and just for fun I now do kickboxing. This plant based journey started after reading "How Not To Die" & it was, indeed, a life saver!! Thank you, Dr. Gregor, for all you do. ❤
That's AWESOME! Congratulations on your Health Journey 💘
I never used to eat beans or lentils. After reading, "How not to Die", I started eating 3 servings a day (from zero servings a day). That was the first change I made in my diet. After a few months of just adding that to my diet, I noticed that my pants were becoming rather loose, so I weighed myself and found that I'd lost weight. That was quite a surprise since weight loss wasn't even my goal! Also to my surprise, I LOVE lentils!! Now I look forward to eating them everyday. I even got an Instant Pot! I love the chewiness of freshly cooked lentils. Then if I mash them slightly while they're hot, pack them in molds and let them cool and set, they make a great sandwich patty. And since its taste changes significantly with but a few changes in seasoning/sauces, I never get bored eating them! As an added bonus, I read that they have a very small carbon footprint compared to most foods!
Yes i had great success with my sister in law’s mother-in-law!! 6 years of diabetes medications inability to walk much weight gain etc etc etc - her markers r almost normal now in just three months of eating this way!!! She went for a pilgrimage to her favourite temple town n called me from there all teary that she is so grateful she can walk now and go to places she had missed!
Nothing more powerful for health than food and Dr. Greger.
Russians LOVE their “proso” millet.
So HAPPY to learn about all its benefits. Thank you Dr Gregor!
YOU ROCK! 👍💚
I love you for your service to society Dr Gregor. You’re amazing.
Thanks❤️.
Millet = mijo= الدخن= ايلان.
In north africa, we eating with dates and almond. In breakfast 🥣. Like a soup.
Omg yes, I'm sudanese and we have دخن(dukhun) here too, lovely!
I love and appreciate your podcast. Even when I'm not learning something new, it's nice to be reminded.
Diabetes Thoughts Please: twice a day with water, 2 Tbs of ACV, 1 Tbs of the following: brewers yeast, amla, black seeds, chia seeds, ground flax seed; one nice squeezed lime, 1/4 tbs of turmeric, and 1 tbs of raw honey in the night mix? Lots of these have been highlighted to help with diabetes.
Facts and proper research. Not unsubstantiated assertions based on unsubstantiated anecdotes.
Hippocrates said it best, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy food."

Thanks Dr Greger🤗for a lot of information, but your opinion about mung beans the most affordable beans $wise for people on the budget.
Thanks Dr Greger for your great videos and education/dedication in memory your grandma. I am your loyal viewer since you wrote a book "How Not to Die". Of course, I read that book and it should be available for reading everytime. Sorry, my English is 2nd or 3rd, 4th language. 1st was Russian, but after learning French and Latin-English is piece of cake🤗
Wish you would differentiate in the titles between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Not your fault, to be honest the two diseases should have entirely separate names in my opinion. Good info nonetheless!
I agree👍. Even those of us with Diabetes don't understand the differences between the various types of Diabetes. The number system 1 & 2 are also misleading in that some people think you automatically get 1 before 2?
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease that requires insulin forever. Type 2 is caused by a bad diet. It can be ‘reversed’ with a whole food plant based diet.
How about type 1 diabetes? Thank you fie your videos!! We have recently changed our diet and feel great, lost weight without trying!!
Look up Mastering Diabetes. That program also is for T1 diabetes.
When using a glucose monitor, only fat based food like meats, and vegetables maintained my sugar levels where as all carbo meals including pulses and grains raised it, sometimes greatly, all that only on organic whole foods. I haven't tried millet yet, carbs listed at 41gm, fiber at 2.2gm per cup, doesn't seem like much insoluble fiber to me
That’s because you need to clear the fat out of your bloodstream in order for it to not have an impact on carbohydrate digestion & blood sugar. It can take up to 48 hours for this happen after a fatty meal. Cut out the fat for a couple of days, eat a low fat plant based diet during those days, and you will see that the carbs don’t raise your blood sugar like they do when eating fats. Each time you eat a fatty meals it resets that timer to clear it out of your system again.
@@heatherw8122 Does fasting count for 2 days?
@@heatherw8122 Not quite true in my experience. Although it depends from case to case. A high saturated fat diet ultimately raises blood glucose levels in the medium to long term by causing insulin resistance and insulin resistance is accumulative (days to weeks and peaking at months). With high insulin resistance, just about everything will spike blood glucose, like you're saying. So the benefits of WFPB are not apparent if you compare high saturated fat vs. WFPB day-to-day. Commitment and documentation is the only way to get a clear measurement.
Nonetheless, it is quite possible that insulin-demands do not decrease even in the long term after switching, at least not by remarkable levels. It depends on many factors, such as what the previous diet looked like. A LCHF-type diet (and they are frequently recommended, god knows why) maintains relatively* low insulin needs even after developing insulin resistance due to the absence of carbohydrates in the diet, so the negative effects are still churning under the surface, but are given no opportunity to symptomatically express.
The upside of establishing insulin sensitivity on one hand, is that insulin administration becomes less hit-and-miss due to variations of insulin resistance and therefore becomes easier and more predictable to manage. Insulin resistance on the other hand has a slew of detrimental health effects in its own right whether apparent on the blood glucose readings or not.
At the end of the day, the amount of insulin that you need is not always indicative of your state of health and diet, unless of course you require copious amounts of insulin.
Quiet, don't confuse these plant based diet people with actual facts.
@williewonka6694 the healthiest people ever studied were Californian Seventh day Adventists who were vegans for religious reasons. Facts only support plant based diet.
I am vegan 25 years and generally eat healthy. Recently I noticed that my fasting morning blood sugar has jumped from 5.2 to 5.7!!!
I am super fit, extremely lean and train 13hrs a week since 15+ years. I am 50 years old. Any idea what is going on? My last A1C reading from two months ago was 5.3.
Lack of sleep has a pretty big effect on bg levels… as I’m getting older I’ve noticed my bg going up, but my sleep is interrupted, plus I have hot flashes that wake me up at least once per night.
I’d say as long as your levels don’t continue to rise, to not stress too much about it, as stress (which lack of sleep also raises) contributes too 😅. Keep an eye on it, speak with a vegan dietitian and look into your sleep quality
Thanks!
11 years vegan , healty and happy indeed a long the way of life
Dr Greger, The Podcast needs cited sources just like your other vids to show the viewer the data . That format is much more educating than watching the voice meter undulate to your words .Also mention to viewers how millet has goitrogenic properties and people with thyroid issues should avoid it .
There's links in the description to the videos with all the sources displayed and cited
Sorry, another Q right away ~What is your opinion about Lectins in the pulses that Dr Gundry scared all the world? What is your opinion on that and how to deal with that Monsfer_Lectines. Thanks Dr for your response 🤗
I will let Dr. Joel Kahn address your question in this clip from his debate with Dr. Gundry on the TV show "The Doctors."

Listening to dr Greger give me good energy of hope, joy, good health, happiness. When i listen to other health teachers, i feel worries, fear, hopelesness, threats, tension.
Food, remedies, herbs, supplements etc...alone are not enough for happiness and good health. A heart full of love, sincerity, peace, joy, happiness ftom this doctor heal us. Thank you Dr.
Oh cool
All Heart Surgeons and cardiologists nowadays talk about insulin resistance and improving metabolic health by eating more FAT ( Keto diet) and no or low carbs and little protein. As opposed to this, on the other hand, you talk about eating NO FAT and more carbs and moderate protein. Who is right? I feel lost in the crossfire.
Dr. Gregor this is so confusing. Dr. Jason Fung says 1) diabetes is a case of insulin resistance 2) goes on to say that the cause of this resistance is insulin itself 3) promotes fasting/intermittent fasting 4) he's also a keto promoter. V confusing. Pls explain.
Looks like Dr Fung might have some explaining to do. Keto is generally crap.
Fung is overweight and always out of breath. Just eat the plants and your body will heal itself.

millet sounded like a good idea, until all the millet i could buy around here was grounded so it became sloppy on the plate, its like eating boiled flour or pasta. is there a millet that has some chew to it? cant be healthy to eat slop, you cant even chew it.
You can order it from Amazon. Sorgum too.
I am willing to bet that buckwheat, and perhaps quinoa, have the same effect as millet in terms of blunting diabetes, down regulating starch-digesting enzymes, feeding microbiome, and suppressing false hunger.
@@spektred no one said eat it plain, but if any ingredient is soggy in consistency i question it.
@@rsalehi6568 The only way you are going to get type 2 diabetes is by becoming insulin resistant, i.e., get fat. If you already have diabetes then it makes sense to worry about this. If you don't get fat you can eat pure sugar and not get diabetes. The olympics are going on right now. Runners, cyclists, rowers, and swimmers live on sugar. They are the most insulin sensitive human beings on planet earth! (You can also get type 2 diabetes if you build up a lot of fat in your pancreas. Saturated fat literally kills the cells in your pancreas that produces insulin. So it's both insulin resistance and a damaged pancreas that can cause type 2 diabetes. You can recover from insulin resistance but pancreas damage is pretty much permanent)
The preparation and texture doesn’t actually matter and he addresses this in the video. The digestion and positive effects will be the same regardless.
