While listening to this doctor, I can't help but compare with my GP, who tends to think he knows all about diabetes. He prescribed 33 units of insulin daily and said I have to take this thing for life, and there is no point of return. I found it to be arrogant and uncaring - took things in my hand, read books by pioneers in this school of thought, changed lifestyle and eating habits, switched to someone who can at least prescribe panels of tests to measure my progress while I work hard towards well being. Nature rewarded me with 11.9 A1C to 5.1 in 3 months. Keeping that for the last 6 months. Touch wood.
Congratulations!!!! Also, not sure if this helps at all but Glucose Goddess has amazing techniques to lower insulin before and during meals ❤ it helped me so much with gestational diabetes.
@@SantiagoPerez-np4ep I have both of her books and I don’t see the recommendation anywhere, but I like her other recommendations and it reversed my insulin resistance during my pregnancy. Perhaps she just recommends it in replacement of regular Coke but both are garbage.
@doctors_kitchen hi sir I've been a diabetic 16 years I'm on dr berry diet for 14 days now and I'm so much better my problem was dissy spells and most of all no energy but this morning the world is a better place i know I've got a way to go but I'm extremely happy its change my life. I've not been able to pass any medical but I will next time take care and thank you Trevor
If only more doctors started to give us the right information! Diabetes type 2 can be reversed applying lifestyle medicine. Working with a diabetes health coach can be very helpful.
What about countries where they eat little to no meat and mostly grains but are slim and seemingly healthy? I really get confused about all this stuff.
Doctor means professor: you need to teach the patients and more the one who have Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (dMT2) and it I’d do to decrease beta cells therefore decrease insuline and increase blood glucose and all the micronutrients : fat carbohydrates and proteins produce glucose DMT2 is a dominantly inherited disease therefore they shoul not reproduce.

@@chandrashekaraiah3362 It doesn't work like that - The 'cure' as you mention is, as Dr Unwin says in detail, about changing what you eat, not taking a tablet. It is not nonsense, it is science (and psychlogy).
Such a great man, very humble and determined to help humanity. My best wishes to Dr Unwin in reversing diabetes for thousands if not millions of people.
What a lovely man! This is the first time I was able to understand what insulin actually does because of his clear down to earth explanation! And the salt connection was such an important new piece of the puzzle. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@doctors_kitchen I'd like to tell my story in which Doctor David Unwin has an integral part. My story starts more than 10 years ago, when, here in the UK, the TV chefs known as The Hairy Bikers, introduced us to Professor Roy Taylor of Newcastle University and his revolutionary belief that Type 2 Diabetes could be reversed by a very low calorie diet. I filed this information in my memory bank and decided that if ever I was diagnosed with T2D I would turn to his research to tackle it. Fast forward to March 2022 and I was seriously ill. I weighed 126kg. My triglycerides were 4.7. My HBAiC was 50mmol. I had T2D and was a heart attack waiting to happen. My Doctor prescribed Metformin and Statins. Before I left the surgery I was interviewed by the nurse Kath Moran. It was she who gave me the direction I needed. She explained that the food we know as starch is in fact polysaccharide sugar and turns to glucose in the blood. I went away and instead of collecting the medicines I researched Professor Roy Taylor. At that time I was working with a wonderful chap called Max Bramfitt who understood the Ketogenic diet. He taught me about grams of carbohydrate and how to read food labels. He looked at my can of oxtail soup and pointed out that at 28g of carbs it represented more than half of my daily allowance of carbs. I researched keto on Google and found that with my level of understanding "Healthline" was my best friend. I threw away the prescriptions and embarked upon the keto lifestyle. By August 2022 I had gone from 126kg to 109kg so asked for another set of bloods which happened on August 4th. At this time I discovered TH-cam and my my first port of call was Dr Sarah's legendary,revolutionary, Tedex talk. From there I discovered Dr's Ken Berry, Jason Fung and David Unwin. On August 9th I received an urgent phone call from Sandra, chief diabetes nurse at my medical centre. I nearly panicked! BUT she needed to know what on earth had happened? I not only was no longer diabetic but was not even close to pre Diabetes. Mmol down to 36 from 50. Triglycerides down from 4.7 to 1.2 and both HDL and LDL had risen dramatically. Thankfully they are a practice which understands that high cholesterol is not automatically a bad thing. She cancelled my follow up routine consultation on August 22 but nurse Richard made the call anyway as HE wanted to know how I'd achieved the miracle. Low Carb High Fat. Ignore the mainstream medical advice. We are now in May 2023. My weight is a steady 96kg. My skin and digestive health is so much better. I am much more mobile again. With the help of all the above named I have turned my life around. I now preach Low Carb to all who will listen. The evidence of my 25% reduction in body mass means that people take me seriously. I want the whole world to follow the example of Dr David and all the other brave medics who dare to Qquestion conventional wisdom.
Super! A humble doctor, straying from that one lane of pharmacology! I've always felt getting rid of "cause" of disease is so much better than controlling with drugs.
Because of David,I showed many patients here in Australia the low carb sugar infographics free on the public health collaboration UK website. Every patient had no idea of the hidden carbs in everyday products. They were told to eat them and no one was well with normal blood glucose. On my computer I had a sticky note ' keep the insulin low'. A great message.
Really good interview. Educating doctors in this is so very important. I was lucky enough that when I was becoming pre-diabetic, my doctor recommended a low-carb diet. here are some diabetes-friendly foods to eat every day to help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Soybean power is also one of the best means to reduce type 2 diabetes. I am also sure of Avacado pear, apple, green leaves, and Vitamins
I can most certainly NOT eat pears or apples. Do you actually take your sugar reading a before and 1 hour afterwards? I can't even eat 1/2 an apple without my sugar soaring.
Thanks for sharing... am I making out that there are people out there,doctors and scientists who would rather make money than share cures and working solutions?
It annoys me that nobody in the NHS ever told me that T2 can be reversed with little difficulty, or how to do it. I don't know if it is ignorance or laziness by GPs, but something needs to change.
Thank Dr. David Unwin. I have put diabetes into remission following your podcasts and reading of D Cavan's "Busting the Diabetes Myths" Jason Fung's "Diabetes Code"and Benjamin Bikman's "Why We Get Sick" I am forever grateful
I’ve been listening to loads of folk on how this insulin thing works. This is the first guy who explains it simply and so I can understand despite me being degree level intellect. It was floundering me. Now I can play this intermittently and write it all down. Thank you Sir!
im 56 and just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, i have been researching the hell out of this, its crap to get it right on top of xmas but i am giving up the carbs and fully intend to go into remission. Thanks for these videos
Really good interview. Educating doctors in this is so very important. I was lucky enough that when I was becoming pre-diabetic, my doctor recommended a low-carb diet. That started me on thoroughly investigating all the aspects involved, and I have maintained a low carb diet ever since. That's probably getting on for 4-5 years now, giving great health benefits for me in multiple aspects. So all my doctor had to do was to give me a bit of information, and a nudge in the right direction, and I have been able to maintain that effective dietary regime ever since. But others I know are not fortunate enough to have that same recommendation when they visit their GPs. And that professionally endorsed suggestion is vital - anything I may say to family and friends does not come with the same weight as if coming from a doctor. So it would help enormously if the healthcare system as a whole was giving this information out much more widely and consistently.
One of our senior directors got diagnosed with D Type ll. It changed the way out officd staff work and we have a super healthy regime but most of all we listened to this talk. To understand the root cause and the effects of not changing your lifestyle is seriously a mind opener for us all. Thank you
What people most need is a food list with two sections: (1) Foods to buy/eat; (2) Foods to refrain from buying/eating. Grocery stores don’t have shelves or aisles labeled “complex carbohydrates” or “low GI fruits.”
Great video. I began my Keto journey 4 mos ago and have lost 43 lbs. I’m a 61 yr old man with T2 diabetic and have put my disease into remission (A1C of 7 is now 5.4), cured my chronic arthritis, IBS, high blood pressure is now normal and so much more. Meat and Veg with some cheese and occasional nuts and berries is a delicious and nutritious menu and I don’t even miss the sugar, grains, starchy root vegetables and industrial pre-processed foods… they are to be avoided at all costs. Started at 292 lbs and am now 249 and we’ll on my way to my goal of 215!!
@@jimsturt I haven’t counted calories for over 5 mos. There’s no need to count calories on Keto, that’s the beauty of it. I eat 2-3 meals per day and eat until I am comfortably stuffed. With virtually all other diets there is portion control… with Keto, as long as you’re eating the right healthy foods and a sounding highly processed foods, sugar and super unhealthy veg seed oils, you can eat until you are 100% satiated and full and still lose a ton of weight. I was 292 lbs with chronic arthritis, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, terrible acid reflux and sleep apnea, IBS, anxiety and depression. ALL of these conditions have been reversed and/or eliminated. I am now off all meds with an A1C of 5.6 (was over 7), perfect blood pressure, arthritis has been gone since only 3 wks on Keto, IBS gone, acid reflux, sleep apnea and snoring gone, and my mental clarity and focus are off the charts… off all my meds for both conditions, and my energy is now through the roof. If you can show me a diet that can achieve any or all of these then I’d love to know what it is. btw I’m a former 10 yr vegan and all it did for me is make me sick, depressed and anemic. I was also plagued by IBS and stomach issues from all the raw and cooked veg. I also had to take many supplements to replace the vitamins and minerals that were lacking from not consuming animal proteins. I also worked out 5 days a week and still couldn’t lose weight. NOT RECCOMENDED.
@@Papacarnivore15 that's cool - and great it worked for you - but keto people need to be honest it still boils down to calories. a lot of people can't do keto, and if they think it works by some kind of magic it could be even more damaging to their efforts to get healthy
@@jimsturt Thanks for your reply. You mentioned that a lot of people can’t do Keto… who are they specifically? How hard is it to just eat healthy meat, seafood, fish and vegetables with some nuts, seeds, cheese and berries? It’s alot easier than one might think actually and has been super easy for me to significantly improve my health. Have you watched any of Dr Ken Berry’s videos on TH-cam? I think you would really enjoy them and learn a ton more about the Proper Human Diet (which includes Keto, Ketovore and Carnivore varieties). He is a rock star in the Keto and Carnivore communities and has almost 3 million subscribers. Take care!!
We are on the cutting edge of doctors starting to make logical science based decisions to actually improve health, rather than suppress health improvements to keep pharmaceutical companies making record profits. Thank goodness doctors are starting to see the light at last. Thank you Dr Unwin, for your valuable contribution to wellness.
Thank you for your work, this has help my person . I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic since 2005, I have gotten off of the medication and have begin to feel alive since. I changed my diet , and have tremendous results taking the carbs from my diet. Thank you again. I’m not taking medications, I’ve done this on my own, but still get check up from my doctors. Thank you again
@@benedictaoteri4143 I am a vegan for over 30 years, I've cut out breads, white rice, use 1/4 cup of brown rice ,and wild rice and dark quinoa. I have eliminated regular salt, and sweets from my diet, as well as following a regular exercise program. I follow my medical advice as well. I obtain sweets from natural organic fruits.
So nice to see a doctor that isn't bought out by the corporate oligarchs of the medical system, doesn't matter where you live, for myself I live in Canada, and our health leaders are just as idiotic here.
This interview and the information given by the doctor is one of the few one that is independent and free of advertising and selling different things by this doctor I applaud and I appreciate such people God bless you
I am only on a Carnivore/Keto diet for a few years. I eat under 20 grams of Carbs a day and My A1C in usually between 7-9 and at the same time I have ketones between .o5-1.8. What am I doing wrong? Help needed. Thanks. I am in the UK.
My main issue right now is that I want biscuits, chocolate and ice-cream, especially the latter. I have tried to make chocolate before (before diagnosed), it's messy af and hard to make and even more difficult to make it palatable. But these are things I'm looking into atm. As for sweeteners, I intend to try shugar, but if like normal stevia it tastes like grass, it's a no go. Why is granulated monk fruit NOT legal here? And why is there no push to reduce the sugar alternative's prices down and raise sugar prices to stop being buying. Being diabetic is way too expensive, and putin's brexshit made it MORE EXPENSIVE, how much is olive oil now?
You are a true hero for everyone on the planet! This is such a complete explanation of a complex problem and your patients are so fortunate to have you guiding their health journey!
It would be helpful if, in making references to "rice", Dr Unwin could differentiate between white rice and brown rice, as I have been given to believe that the body responds much better to digest brown rice than it does to white rice, which is known to cause a much greater increase in blood sugar.
No doctor would help me as i cant even get a phone appt for very bad knee and stomach troubles so where can i find out more info please to do this diet apart from buying books
Funny that you mention Ramadan which for me was an example that intermittent fasting does not work looking at the extremely fat Islam believers and practising Ramadan.
While working the printing presses for the Cassowary Bathwater times back in Georgia I would go to the local Turkish bakery and eat dried meat with parsley garlic and chilli. Especially on days that were cold or I just needed a boost emotionally when the oil gasket of the number 9 quilting flange would jam.
It's possible that making dietary changes, such as cutting out sugary foods and refined carbohydrates, could help improve your blood pressure. Consuming a diet that is high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates has been linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure and other health issues. By reducing or eliminating these types of foods from your diet, you may be able to lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health. However, it's important to note that everyone's body is different and the effectiveness of dietary changes can vary from person to person. Not all carbs are equal, people tend to lump them all together in one category when actually they are very different (so my video on what bread to eat is best?) we also respond to them differently. It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or stopping any prescribed medication. They can provide guidance on the best approach for you to manage your blood pressure and ensure that you are doing so safely and effectively.
Easy in 3 words. Don't eat carbs. Your body can produce glucose from protein and fat. There are no essential carbs and it is not a macro nutrient unlike fat or protein. Pasta, bread, rice, potatoes all break down instantly in the stomach to glucose AKA sugar.
This is a fantastic presentation. I have learned so much in this video. I just found out last night that my glucose is high and I'm bordering on that dreaded D word which helped to kill off All my grandparents and other near relatives. I have had liver problems for over a year and not once has any of my doctor's talked to me about improving my diet. Thank you Dr. And hope to hear more from you.
It's great that people are having good results. However I think something is missing. Humans have consumed carbs for millennia. But it's only in recent decades that we have the diabetes pandemic.
That's beacuse eating habbits. In history humans was running to gain food and then they was able to have one meal in day or two day. Mostly this food was non veg or green leaf, carrots etc... The agricultural revolution put limit on humans struggle for food. So exrcise factors came in. More food in day starts to come in action. Eariler carbs was bit complex to digest but today polished rice is curse. It get absorbed so fast that insulin spike is high. We need to go to basics.
She's my kind of eating buddy. My mother told me I'd be dead by 11 for the thick crust of salt on everything, and eating it straight. I showed her. I'm well into my 60's.
I think it’s so sad that the NHS does not recommend low carb. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and have spent my whole life believing my diet which was high carb ie rice, pasta, potatoes and low fat to be healthy. It’s only by searching online that I discovered this was causing insulin resistance but unfortunately the majority of the population are not aware of this. I’ve been low carb for 5 months and feel amazing and completely lost my desire for sugary foods.
Does reversal of diabetes return to the person to normal? Or, like alcoholics, have we been damaged by sugar/insulin and have to severly restrict for the rest of our lives? I have used Freestyle Libre to learn how foods affect me. I have noticed that early in my transition to low carbohydrates half a plum would noticeably raise my blood glucose. A handful of months later, an entire orange or apple have negligible effects on my blood sugar after a meal. Many foods taste better after attempting to eliminate sugar in all of its forms. I used Freestyle Libre for a month in Seattle, USA to learn about the food. I have just started learning about the foods in my winter home in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico with a month of Freestyle Libre. My health service in Seattle does not assist with continuous glucose monitors. Nor, do they use testing of fasting insulin - except if they suspect type 1 diabetes. Levels got me access to Freestyle Libre. Fantastic. Now I hope to use private laboratories in Mexico to see if I have gained insulin sensitivity.
I have been diabetic for the last 27 yrs. I stopped taking any medicines for the last 4 yrs as i had recurrent health problems. I am on vegetables diet ONLY. I dont have any health issues but my glucometer shows rdgs always above 250. C peptide and fasting insulin are too within the range. Any suggestion?
I listened over and over again for the infographics but I can't understand his accent. I understood Phc but it sounded like he was saying phcwomen. That makes no sense. I wish he would have spelled it out. I never could understand where you find the infographics. I guess I'll just google infographics.
I’ve never understood why it’s been so hard to understand that a disease that’s made worse by sugar is made better by removing sugar. A child could tell you that.
If you believe in Evolution then you not believe in Superior Creator, my question to you: You feel good about your existence in the world and will disappear after you pass away. Thinking if the vast creation of things how it will come to be part of thinks around us.
Oh what's better of all this if you just don't drink anything for 5 hours or 10 hours. There's no reason to be scared of not being able to eat because there's food everywhere you go. I can stop at McDonald's anytime and get a hamburger get meat and bread what else do you need???
Yes basic knowledge myst be given to patient that is carb, rice, starch, alcohol must be avoided because it is converted to sugar but the most important is skip a meal or intermittent fasing
God bless 🙏🙏 you doctor for your healthy long life, wish we new this very long time before thanks very much at least we know , so we can teach our children
Dr David Unwin is a remarkable doctor indeed. With a understanding relationship with her wife, both are giving a good quality life to so many of us. Thanksgiving for keep working as a true Doctor
Did you listen to the video ? No sugar, very low carb intake from green veggies only. (10-20 g day), meat, fish. I am off 14 meds , reversed t2d, lost 78 lbs and healthiest ever at age 64. excellent labs first time in 30 yrs. Lovey butter, bacon, steaks, hamburger, salmon, and occasional veggies. Never going back. Zero processed foods, zero meds....saving tons of $$

So all my doctor had to do was to give me a bit of information, and a nudge in the right direction, and I have been able to maintain that effective dietary regime ever since. But others I know are not fortunate enough to have that same recommendation when they visit their GPs. And that professionally endorsed suggestion is vital - anything I may say to family and friends does not come with the same weight as if coming from a doctor. So it would help enormously if the healthcare system as a whole was giving this information out much more widely and consistently.
One of our senior directors got diagnosed with D Type ll. It changed the way out officd staff work and we have a super healthy regime but most of all we listened to this talk. To understand the root cause and the effects of not changing your lifestyle is seriously a mind opener for us all. Thank you
What people most need is a food list with two sections: (1) Foods to buy/eat; (2) Foods to refrain from buying/eating. Grocery stores don’t have shelves or aisles labeled “complex carbohydrates” or “low GI fruits.”
Check out the food lists Dr Unwin talked about to see which kind of foods will increase your insulin then you will have all the information you need.
Well worth listening to this Doc...........the poison, SUGAR. , steeve
Great video. I began my Keto journey 4 mos ago and have lost 43 lbs. I’m a 61 yr old man with T2 diabetic and have put my disease into remission (A1C of 7 is now 5.4), cured my chronic arthritis, IBS, high blood pressure is now normal and so much more.
Meat and Veg with some cheese and occasional nuts and berries is a delicious and nutritious menu and I don’t even miss the sugar, grains, starchy root vegetables and industrial pre-processed foods… they are to be avoided at all costs. Started at 292 lbs and am now 249 and we’ll on my way to my goal of 215!!
you do know that's because you cut calories and lost weight, and not because there is any magic to keto, right?
@@jimsturt I haven’t counted calories for over 5 mos. There’s no need to count calories on Keto, that’s the beauty of it. I eat 2-3 meals per day and eat until I am comfortably stuffed. With virtually all other diets there is portion control…
with Keto, as long as you’re eating the right healthy foods and a sounding highly processed foods, sugar and super unhealthy veg seed oils, you can eat until you are 100% satiated and full and still lose a ton of weight.
I was 292 lbs with chronic arthritis, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, terrible acid reflux and sleep apnea, IBS, anxiety and depression. ALL of these conditions have been reversed and/or eliminated.
I am now off all meds with an A1C of 5.6 (was over 7), perfect blood pressure, arthritis has been gone since only 3 wks on Keto, IBS gone, acid reflux, sleep apnea and snoring gone, and my mental clarity and focus are off the charts… off all my meds for both conditions, and my energy is now through the roof.
If you can show me a diet that can achieve any or all of these then I’d love to know what it is.
btw I’m a former 10 yr vegan and all it did for me is make me sick, depressed and anemic. I was also plagued by IBS and stomach issues from all the raw and cooked veg. I also had to take many supplements to replace the vitamins and minerals that were lacking from not consuming animal proteins. I also worked out 5 days a week and still couldn’t lose weight. NOT RECCOMENDED.
@@Papacarnivore15 that's cool - and great it worked for you - but keto people need to be honest it still boils down to calories. a lot of people can't do keto, and if they think it works by some kind of magic it could be even more damaging to their efforts to get healthy
@@jimsturt Thanks for your reply. You mentioned that a lot of people can’t do Keto… who are they specifically? How hard is it to just eat healthy meat, seafood, fish and vegetables with some nuts, seeds, cheese and berries?
It’s alot easier than one might think actually and has been super easy for me to significantly improve my health.
Have you watched any of Dr Ken Berry’s videos on TH-cam? I think you would really enjoy them and learn a ton more about the Proper Human Diet (which includes Keto, Ketovore and Carnivore varieties). He is a rock star in the Keto and Carnivore communities and has almost 3 million subscribers.
Take care!!
Great work doctor, you have explained this topic so well. Am glad I now understand like a child.
We are on the cutting edge of doctors starting to make logical science based decisions to actually improve health, rather than suppress health improvements to keep pharmaceutical companies making record profits. Thank goodness doctors are starting to see the light at last. Thank you Dr Unwin, for your valuable contribution to wellness.
Thank you for your work, this has help my person . I have been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic since 2005, I have gotten off of the medication and have begin to feel alive since.
I changed my diet , and have tremendous results taking the carbs from my diet. Thank you again. I’m not taking medications, I’ve done this on my own, but still get check up from my doctors.
Thank you again
What sort of carbs did you cut off
Wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing!
@@benedictaoteri4143
@@benedictaoteri4143 I am a vegan for over 30 years, I've cut out breads, white rice, use 1/4 cup of brown rice ,and wild rice and dark quinoa.
I have eliminated regular salt, and sweets from my diet, as well as following
a regular exercise program. I follow my medical advice as well. I obtain sweets from natural organic fruits.
Plss Venice tell me what u did I want to follow the steps also am battling type 2 plss
What about pre-diabetic can we do the low carb diet please thank you 😊 🙏
It's the same as early stage of diabetes. Follow the diabetes low carbohydrates will prevent it from becoming a full blown diabetes.
What a doctor with real care can do!!! You have indeed made a difference in the world Sir!!! Hats off
I agree, hats off!
@@doctors_kitchen tuu
So nice to see a doctor that isn't bought out by the corporate oligarchs of the medical system, doesn't matter where you live, for myself I live in Canada, and our health leaders are just as idiotic here.
This interview and the information given by the doctor is one of the few one that is independent and free of advertising and selling different things by this doctor I applaud and I appreciate such people God bless you
Thank you for your support! :)
A true doctor, thank you for this information ❤ it’s changing lives.
I am only on a Carnivore/Keto diet for a few years. I eat under 20 grams of Carbs a day and My A1C in usually between 7-9 and at the same time I have ketones between .o5-1.8. What am I doing wrong? Help needed. Thanks. I am in the UK.
Thank you. Is it D Life India for the low carb diet.
My main issue right now is that I want biscuits, chocolate and ice-cream, especially the latter. I have tried to make chocolate before (before diagnosed), it's messy af and hard to make and even more difficult to make it palatable. But these are things I'm looking into atm.
As for sweeteners, I intend to try shugar, but if like normal stevia it tastes like grass, it's a no go. Why is granulated monk fruit NOT legal here? And why is there no push to reduce the sugar alternative's prices down and raise sugar prices to stop being buying. Being diabetic is way too expensive, and putin's brexshit made it MORE EXPENSIVE, how much is olive oil now?
You are a true hero for everyone on the planet! This is such a complete explanation of a complex problem and your patients are so fortunate to have you guiding their health journey!
What about skinny type 2 diabetics patients who looses weight .
What can they do to gain weight
I am about to feed thousands of diabetic on a regular basis
I am creating low carb recipes
Thank you for the motivation
It would be helpful if, in making references to "rice", Dr Unwin could differentiate between white rice and brown rice, as I have been given to believe that the body responds much better to digest brown rice than it does to white rice, which is known to cause a much greater increase in blood sugar.
No doctor would help me as i cant even get a phone appt for very bad knee and stomach troubles so where can i find out more info please to do this diet apart from buying books
I can help with info if you're willing.
Great interview! Thank you 🙏✨💜
Our pleasure!
Funny that you mention Ramadan which for me was an example that intermittent fasting does not work looking at the extremely fat Islam believers and practising Ramadan.
JoinZoe are doing a study using the sugar monitor which anyone can sign up to, but it’s well over £200 to join.
Great doctor by all means, your efforts to guide and heal people is highly appreciated. Thanks and salute to you.
So nice of you. I’m glad you found value in this episode!
While working the printing presses for the Cassowary Bathwater times back in Georgia I would go to the local Turkish bakery and eat dried meat with parsley garlic and chilli. Especially on days that were cold or I just needed a boost emotionally when the oil gasket of the number 9 quilting flange would jam.
This man kind of Jean-Luc Picard's little brother. He cares about his patients. Good for his work that will heal and cure millions of people.
No matter how long u have it, it can be reversed. Me 30 yrs and hypertension is also normal Amazing.
could I actually get my blood pressure to normal without meds but cutting out all sugar foods and carbs...?????? Thank you-- very interesting video
It's possible that making dietary changes, such as cutting out sugary foods and refined carbohydrates, could help improve your blood pressure. Consuming a diet that is high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates has been linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure and other health issues. By reducing or eliminating these types of foods from your diet, you may be able to lower your blood pressure and improve your overall health.
However, it's important to note that everyone's body is different and the effectiveness of dietary changes can vary from person to person. Not all carbs are equal, people tend to lump them all together in one category when actually they are very different (so my video on what bread to eat is best?) we also respond to them differently.
It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or stopping any prescribed medication. They can provide guidance on the best approach for you to manage your blood pressure and ensure that you are doing so safely and effectively.
Easy in 3 words. Don't eat carbs. Your body can produce glucose from protein and fat. There are no essential carbs and it is not a macro nutrient unlike fat or protein. Pasta, bread, rice, potatoes all break down instantly in the stomach to glucose AKA sugar.
Sounds to me like you may have listened to the Ted talk by Dr Sarah Hallberg!
Now ask yourself why some papers went after him. he was rattling their chains?
One of the benefits of low-carb weight loss, I can go out for longer periods of time without having to pee.
Can u tell me what u r eating exactly
This is true. I eat mostly carnivore and I drink lots of water and don’t pee as often. But I do pee longer than I used to.
This is a fantastic presentation. I have learned so much in this video. I just found out last night that my glucose is high and I'm bordering on that dreaded D word which helped to kill off All my grandparents and other near relatives. I have had liver problems for over a year and not once has any of my doctor's talked to me about improving my diet. Thank you Dr. And hope to hear more from you.
I'm glad you found value in this episode!
Great video. When you mentioned the B Vitamins you didn’t mention B-8 or Myo-Inositol.
I would like to meet this doctor everything he is saying is so true I have my own storie great doctor thanks to you
Diabetes isn't just food. I got it through drinking.
Blessings to Dr David Unwin and wife for knowledgeable generosity.
Thank you for your support!
63 is not old,,what's your problem
Words aren’t enough for me to show how I grateful I am for helping me to get rid of my Diabetes’s Type 2 Dr Igudia.
It's great that people are having good results. However I think something is missing. Humans have consumed carbs for millennia. But it's only in recent decades that we have the diabetes pandemic.
That's beacuse eating habbits. In history humans was running to gain food and then they was able to have one meal in day or two day. Mostly this food was non veg or green leaf, carrots etc... The agricultural revolution put limit on humans struggle for food. So exrcise factors came in. More food in day starts to come in action. Eariler carbs was bit complex to digest but today polished rice is curse. It get absorbed so fast that insulin spike is high. We need to go to basics.
Processed foods everywhere
Nobody said carb consumption causes diabetes. Reducing carbs is the technique used to reverse diabetes. One doesn't equal the other.
Humans are supposed to eat carbs from veg and seasonal fruit. Not bread, biscuits and soft drinks
What a lovely wife and nurse. God bless you all and thank you 🌟👍🏻👏🙏🇬🇧
Great video. Very informative. Thanks to the interviewer and to Dr. Unwin.
Don’t worry about salt.
My mother in law lays more salt than in the Dead Sea to her steaks
she’s 95
She's my kind of eating buddy. My mother told me I'd be dead by 11 for the thick crust of salt on everything, and eating it straight. I showed her. I'm well into my 60's.
I think it’s so sad that the NHS does not recommend low carb. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic and have spent my whole life believing my diet which was high carb ie rice, pasta, potatoes and low fat to be healthy. It’s only by searching online that I discovered this was causing insulin resistance but unfortunately the majority of the population are not aware of this. I’ve been low carb for 5 months and feel amazing and completely lost my desire for sugary foods.
Great questions. straightforward shorter questions would be ideal ❤, nonetheless great questions asked.
I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed this episode nevertheless!
Very informative! Thanks so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Does reversal of diabetes return to the person to normal? Or, like alcoholics, have we been damaged by sugar/insulin and have to severly restrict for the rest of our lives?
I have used Freestyle Libre to learn how foods affect me. I have noticed that early in my transition to low carbohydrates half a plum would noticeably raise my blood glucose. A handful of months later, an entire orange or apple have negligible effects on my blood sugar after a meal. Many foods taste better after attempting to eliminate sugar in all of its forms.
I used Freestyle Libre for a month in Seattle, USA to learn about the food. I have just started learning about the foods in my winter home in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico with a month of Freestyle Libre.
My health service in Seattle does not assist with continuous glucose monitors. Nor, do they use testing of fasting insulin - except if they suspect type 1 diabetes.
Levels got me access to Freestyle Libre. Fantastic. Now I hope to use private laboratories in Mexico to see if I have gained insulin sensitivity.
I have been diabetic for the last 27 yrs. I stopped taking any medicines for the last 4 yrs as i had recurrent health problems. I am on vegetables diet ONLY. I dont have any health issues but my glucometer shows rdgs always above 250. C peptide and fasting insulin are too within the range. Any suggestion?
I listened over and over again for the infographics but I can't understand his accent. I understood Phc but it sounded like he was saying phcwomen. That makes no sense. I wish he would have spelled it out. I never could understand where you find the infographics. I guess I'll just google infographics.
OMG did that lady think chocolate biscuits were made of cotton wool?😂
In Australia diabetics were actually encouraged to eat sweet biscuits between meals until recently.
I’ve never understood why it’s been so hard to understand that a disease that’s made worse by sugar is made better by removing sugar. A child could tell you that.
If you believe in Evolution then you not believe in Superior Creator, my question to you: You feel good about your existence in the world and will disappear after you pass away. Thinking if the vast creation of things how it will come to be part of thinks around us.
Oh what's better of all this if you just don't drink anything for 5 hours or 10 hours. There's no reason to be scared of not being able to eat because there's food everywhere you go. I can stop at McDonald's anytime and get a hamburger get meat and bread what else do you need???
Truly amazing knowledge 🎩 off to you
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this episode :)
Hello doctor,is blurred vision connected with low carb
It was for me. I needed to raise the carbs to 60g a day due to low blood sugar. Not everyone can convert fats and proteins to energy.
I take great interest in your conversation and understand blood sugar@ this moment.. great thanks.
Wonderful to hear! I'm glad you are finding value in the podcast :)
Fantastic interview and eye opening infographics . Thank you.
Our pleasure! So glad you found value in this episode :)
Words failed me on how to appreciate you for sending your Herbs to me after I place my or order which cured my Type 2 Diabetes Dr Igudia
Why are you talking about reverse of diabetes even now instead of inventing medicine for permanent cure of diabetes how long we have to hear non cence
Yes basic knowledge myst be given to patient that is carb, rice, starch, alcohol must be avoided because it is converted to sugar but the most important is skip a meal or intermittent fasing
Great insight great info quite relevant for diabetes reversal wich is possible. Keri diet is a must and no carbs whatsoever!!!
God bless 🙏🙏 you doctor for your healthy long life, wish we new this very long time before thanks very much at least we know , so we can teach our children
Such a lovely man and doctor. He just wants to help heal humanity in any way he can. Thank you Dr Unwin.
Dr David Unwin is a remarkable doctor indeed. With a understanding relationship with her wife, both are giving a good quality life to so many of us.
Thanksgiving for keep working as a true Doctor
I agree and I'm glad you enjoyed this episode!
Quit eating sugar.
Why do you keep saying sugar instead of glucose ? Cane sugar is fructose ( absorbed by the liver without insulin ) and glucose
Why weight gaining is difficult for some pre-diabetics on low carbs diet
I am trying to get off this medication what can l do
Did you listen to the video ? No sugar, very low carb intake from green veggies only. (10-20 g day), meat, fish. I am off 14 meds , reversed t2d, lost 78 lbs and healthiest ever at age 64. excellent labs first time in 30 yrs. Lovey butter, bacon, steaks, hamburger, salmon, and occasional veggies. Never going back. Zero processed foods, zero meds....saving tons of $$
I have enjoy ur program ,and the advice u have given ,
I woul like to get the information on how to get the recipe books
Leon
Education of how to eat balanced with HOPE. We have been lost in hopelessness for so many years, getting worse.
I like this doctor
Thank you so much. I just ordered a recipe book from Caldesi!
