@@renus6015 Read Dr. Bernstein's book, the title of which is DR. BERNSTEIN'S DIABETES SOLUTION . You need a blood sugar meter too. I'll let you figure out your goals by reading the book and "playing the game" that gets you normal blood sugars. It is extremely low carb. If you are a Type 2 then find the video channel for Beat Diabetes!.
Thank you for this info. I also want to thank you personally. I’m a T1Lada for 30 years and didn’t find your book until 4 years ago. 26 years uncontrolled with the normal complications. Now, after 4 years following both the LCHP lifestyle & insulin regimen, I have an A1c of 5.6 & use 86% less insulin. You changed my life.
You stopped my poorly managed diabeties in its tracks Dr and now i have lowered it to 7.7 and counting down untill i am hitting 4.5 to 5 and only been following your advice for a small amount of time and allready what a difference!! - thanks to your advice and knowledge im confident in the fact i can have rhe best future possible. Thankyou so much. ❤
I am being massively bullied by my endo because I am keeping my A1C lower than what they want. It’s 5.0%. They are pushing me to go and see a psychiatrist for my issues of being obsessive about keeping my A1C lower. I am super stressed by being targeted.
When you realize they want you sick and suffering things become more clear. How else will the system make all their money? It is never about helping us to be healed. Good for you for defying their ADA low standards!
Dr Bernstein you are amazing and i have even given my Diabetes Educator a loan of your book, and she has also said how amazing you are, just widening your wiseness here is Australia 😁👍 Thankyou for all your knowledge.
Beloved Dr Bernstein we love your precious self! You are a True MENCH! We cannot wait to one day meet you. Grateful 2 God for your help and guidance. NOW all i have to do is get my DR to want to see this and learn?
What a package of vital information! Note: 15:58 is the beginning of #8: Weight loss ketosis, which is similar to fasting ketosis, is NOT diabetic ketoacidosis. Page 28 of Dr. Bernstein's book defines ketoacidosis as " a serious condition caused by high blood sugar in combination with dehydration."
Hi Dr Bernstein Thank you for all the help that you provide by sharing your wisdom about the body and how it works in your videos. It has helped a ton of people as can be seen from the comments section of your channel. Kudos! I am a Type 2 Diabetic and tried the latest trend of Intermittent Fasting (16/8) for 6 months, expecting to decrease my blood sugar levels and lose the medication (Evopride 1/500 twice a day). However, the results have been shocking with my insulin going from 8.0uU/ml to 1.3U/ml in about 1 year and A1c spiking from 7.2% to 10.1% with an unintended consequence of a 5kg weight loss. I weighed 63kg and now down to 58kg. (there are some people who do not want to lose weight you see). I actually need to gain weight and strength. Any help on that would be awesome! Could you please make a video regarding the effect of intermittent fasting on Insulin for people who do not suffer from Insulinemia and how to improve the insulin levels other than eating more carbs? I intend to gain more weight and strength without getting into hypoglycemia.. How can I do that? Bless you!
Thank you so much for all the useful information you provide in your book and the lectures. I'm type 2 and your ideas have made a difference in my life. I still have difficulty staying in my range (3.9 - 5.2) for 70% of the time.
Excellent video, many Latinos want information on how the importance of low carb foods, it would be important subtitles in Spanish to follow your teachings, thank you. I have a 4 year old son, he debuted 7 months ago and we want to have normal glucose. Thank you Dr. B for existing.
I'm a type 1 with major dawn phenomenon and would like to know more about this somatostatin. Sounds excellent. Is this something I can get my hands on?
Have you read Dr. Bernstein's book DR. BERNSTEIN'S DIABETES SOLUTION? He has several pages on the dawn phenomenon. I wouldn't be surprised if that is your answer rather than messing with hormones.
@@kathym6603 Yes I have read it twice and refer back to it often. By trial and error I have found that I have to set my alarm for 1 hour before I wake up and take 7 units of humulin R to keep the dawn phenomenon under control and prevent high blood sugars for the first half of my day. However this method isn't always perfect and with two kids under 5 my schedule and my sleep can often be a bit unpredictable. If there was something more fool proof I'd be willing to give it a try.
So, is beating Dawn Effect as simple as taking a Somatostatin? For Type 2s, is this something that will go away as blood glucose decreases? What else can be done to treat Dawn Effect?
I'm a type 2 diabetic.. I had severe dawn phenomenon. Stay low carb and intermittent fasting two meals a day. When your liver has dumped all its fat from the weight loss the Dawn phenomenon will go away
Obviously everyone's different and everyone has a different percentage of fat in their liver and pancreas but it only took me about 4 weeks. I now wake up in the'80s sometimes high 70s. Get out and run do sprints do whatever you have to to get your heart rate up to very intense. It will spike your blood sugar for me I was spiking to 180 then a couple days later 160 then 140 and so on. Do not refill your liver with fat by overeating or eating too many carbs and you will be fine
Blood sugar recommendations from the ada = 70 - 180. Bernstein recommendation = 83 Is the recommendation from Bernstein fasted blood sugar? Is it throughout the day? 24 hours? I've set my cgm alarm in a range of 70 - 120 and try to stay in between that range by injecting a lot throughout the day. What I still don't understand,is the doctor talking about 83 mg/dl over 24/7 or is it only a fasting baseline? Because when you eat or be active or non active the blood sugar is always fluctuating. My question is,what is the doctor meaning with 83 mg/dl,because he mentioned the ada recommendation and that's a range,but he gives us only one number? Can someone please explain to me what is healthy/normal? I know from the time my pancreas still was working my blood sugar varied from 70 to 120 mg/dl throughout the day and depended on activities and eating of course. That's why I assume normal is between 70 and 120 mg/dl throughout the day and try to focus on keeping it in that range. Is their something I'm doing wrong or misunderstood or don't understand in general? I want to live old complication free and see my children growing up so I can stand with them when needed and want to do anything about it to keep my blood sugars perfect,but how or am I doing it right? Please someone help me out if you like? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
He recommends staying as close as possible to 83 all day, which may require adjusting dose and timing of insulins. As a T1D I have my CGM alarms set at 60 and 120, 130 at night, so I can adjust as needed to raise or lower BG. It is difficult to stay at 83 all day, but we do the best we can by following his diet and insulin dosing regimen. His book Diabetes Solution is the best book I’ve ever read and explains all of this in detail. Dr Bernstein is my hero!
@Engelbert Humperdinck I’m not 100 percent. I eat twice daily and keep amounts consistent. I do eat out a few times per week where I estimate portions. My Endocrinologist allows me to do this because of my A1C without many lows. My last was 5.6 using multiple injections. I take Tresiba 2x day, Regular for meals and Humalog as Dr. B recommends for corrections. I take 12 to 13 units total per day. I do eat small amounts of berries although Dr B does not recommend that.
@@jamescalifornia2964 thanks for the reply James! 4.5% or 28 mmol/l hba1c is correct. When my pancreas still was functional my hba1c was around 28-29 mmol/l or 4.5% as you stated. Keeping a1c in that range isn't that difficult but Keeping daily blood sugar at 4.5 mmol/l or 83 mg/dl is a total different story. I do my best but don't think I'm doing it right? Another problem is that my endo don't want to give me regular human insuline so I'm still fighting with ultra fast acting insulin that only works maximum of 1.5 hours. The problem is that I'm doing ketovore and protein and fats take about 5 to 6 hours to fully digest and thus I'm injecting multiple times to cover that meal,trying to stay in between range of 70 and 120 mg/dl or 3.9 and 6.7 mmol/l. It's impossible to stay flat with that fast acting insulin. I'm busy finding another endo who's willing to give me regular insulin so I can better fine-tune my meals. How are you doing it and is it easy for you? Again thanks for the reply!
@Engelbert Humperdinck Thank you Engelbert for the great explanation! I have the book in possession,but it's not my foreign language. I'm from Holland and speak Dutch. I understand it but in my knowledge it's not that detailed and sometimes I'm missing some. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with T2D and I started strict Ketogenic right away. No processed foods,grains,rice and so on since,so I'm well accosted to that lifestyle. No problem and not missing a thing. Now past January I get ill virus infection and the past two years a lot of stress because of government regulations. Long story short, I didn't get better and my body started to breakdown fast. After three months past April I finally got diagnosed and the outcome was LADA T1D. I was misdiagnosed four years ago,but I was able to keep everything in healthy range with an a1c around 28 mmol/l or 4.5 % I was proud of myself,but now I'm confronted with another beast and it's a whole other story. Here in Holland aren't that many aware of dr Bernstein and those couple who are aren't that serious or doesn't have enough knowledge,so I'm going my own way on this journey and try to figure it all out by asking questions and putting all the little pieces of the puzzle together. My a1c is now 5.5 according to my cgm if that's true I don't now next month I get my blood work done so fingers crossed. In the meantime I'm shooting insulin like crazy throughout the days and that doesn't make you feel any better I can assure. It's hard work at the moment and I'm burnt out from it, I'm waiting for another endo to help me out and give me regular human insulin because now I have tresiba and that's fine but the short acting isn't fine for covering protein and fat meals,that's why I'm injecting too much. Again thanks for your worthy input ! Appreciate it 🙏🏻
i am allergic to them also ...I can only take R insulin.....struggling but I think with careful eating and taking the R it will get better......I think it is the PHENOLS in those drugs that we react to...what do you think about that ????
That sounds tough, Sheri. Do you have access to an insulin pump? You wouldn't need a long-acting insulin with an insulin pump, and would use only a rapid-acting such as Humalog, Novolog/Novorapid or one of the ultra-rapid-acting insulins such as Fiasp.
As a type 1 diabetic, and even as a person who wants to control their type2 diabetes or loose weight, do people not expirence high cholesterol, and cardiovascular health problems?
If you can answer this simple question, you're good. I'm type 1 diabetic. I wake up with 80. I eat 2 eggs with half an onion and a coffee with less than 1g of sugar. After 2 hours I'm at 231. What is going on ?
Hello:) I spike really high from coffee. I'm talking even plain black coffee! have you tried maybe leaving out the coffee one morning and see if that fixes the problem? I take a couple of units of insulin for just plain!

Hi Marc, for what concerns my personal experience, I've found that during the morning, especially while fasting or eating few carbs, and so not injecting rapid-acting insulin, a hormonal response causes blood glucose levels to rise a bit. The only solution I've found has been rapid insulin. Bye!

- 83 as average blood glucose. I believe that equates to an A1C of _4.5_
Dr Bernstein came to that number by testing healthy non-diabetic adults.
He recommends staying as close as possible to 83 all day, which may require adjusting dose and timing of insulins. As a T1D I have my CGM alarms set at 60 and 120, 130 at night, so I can adjust as needed to raise or lower BG.
