Thanks for watching! To take our Insulin Resistance Diet Starter Course to learn what to eat and why to lose weight with insulin resistance, go to www.zivli.com/Insulin-Resistance-Diet-Starter-Course.
1. Eat 50-80 grams of carbs per day. 2. Intermittent fasting and calorie restrictions. 3. Walk 10 minutes after each meal. 4. Take Berberine supplements. 5. Get 7-8 hrs of sleep per night. You are welcome!
Faster is limiting to 20 - 25 gross carbs per meal, drink plenty of water and have no more than one tablespoon of any kind of sweeteners in one day. So no diet sodas or artificially sweetened candy. Also, supplements with berberine or bitter lemon or fenugreek help. In 2018, my a1c went from 12 to 5.5 in less than six months.
I laugh when she says, "take berberine under the guidance of a health care professional." Yeah, right. Listening to my doctor is what got me stuck in the 4 injections of insulin per day. They dont want you to get better... they would have nobody to prescribe medication to and wouldn't be able to schedule all the office visits and blood work that goes along with sickly patients. Doctors take more pride in their bank account balance than the number of clients that they actually help.
I'm guessing it's so that you're not double dosing with berberine and whatever medications people are on. But I agree w/your assessment... or at least it certainly feels that way sometimes.
I used to do that, I would walk 15 minutes after snack, and then 30 minutes after lunch, I do healthy keto and fasting. I have lost 67 lbs. I was on Ozempic. I have not taken it since October and have not gained back any of my weight
In addition, remove from your diet sugar, corn syrup, seed oil based cooking oils and any form of processed food. Moderate exercise daily for 45 minutes with a heart rate of 120 bpm.

My A1C is 5.7 but my doctor said I do not have pre diabetes.He wants another blood test to confirm but he said I am ok.I was so sad and not eating and suicidal.He yelled at me good and told me to stop reading everything online.I got a wake up call.I quit drinking soda and will eat healthy and only once a month have fast food.I will drink sweet tea once every other week and drink no sugar tea and more water.Fruits and salads also.I was terrified.Thank God I am going to be ok and stay that way.
I love that you have recommended berberine I have been taking that for quite sometime and it's very effective. I also drink a lot of brewed green tea which also helps to lower glucose while eating

Eat 10-18 grams of Carbs per day (BBBE and occasionally dairy). Sleep very well, organic/fasting/sober, only drink water (last 30 years) Exercise walking daily and other things over the last 50 years. Love exercise. A1C 6.4% 1 year ago (after 5 years of Keto/Ketovore). 6 months blood test this week and A1C is at 6.5% Also Creatine BUN went up too. Gave up coffee on 1/1/24 for the 3rd time now in 8 years. This is very hard and I am a lifelong, very health-disciplined person at every level.
Hi Dr Morgan, love ur video for the clarity n info. One thing if u know anything tat my bg always longer around 6ish even after my exercise, it went down momentarily to 5ish but after 2hrs it came back to 6ish even I only drink water. Is this a prediabetic condition? My A1c is 5.7% last check. Thank you for your video sharing. Subd.❤
Great video, so very h helpful, thank you. I eat 30 g a day for pre diabetes , and the HBA1C has gone down, but I have lost 15 pounds, and I weigh 94lbs now. I did not need to loose weight.So now I eat more protein and healthy fats, and that is helping.

Because dialysis is hugely profitable! Fresenius stock rose 1000% in sixteen years (2002-2018). Davita stock rose 300% from 2010 - 2021. It's perfectly legal for doctors to buy stock in your pain and suffering. And Big Pharma stock, too. It's a racket!
My biggest frustration. Watch my husband and go from prediabetic is his doctor downplayed the risk and just said exercise and eat better. Didn't tell him what that meant. And now he is diabetic. I'm still all the doctor says is exercise and eat better. Urrrrrr
I'm on my feet for the majority of my day. Walking around the shop or yard looking for vehicles and climbing on them or underneath them. Plus the one hour at work for PT and I do lift weights once a week for about an hour. My job is quite physical at times depends on what I'm working on that day. I also had a back injury last year and was unable to work out or maintain my physical activity. I was told I was diabetic this year and at no time was diet discussed and was immediately put on 1000mg of metformin that instantly gave me headaches and made me light headed. Then Jardiance that has done the same. I cannot work this way with a headache all day long. I did change my diet after I was told this and dropped my A1c from 7.1 to 6.7 with no meds. I have yet to go back to my doctor to see where I'm at. Been busy with just life. Getting back to my normal routine I have never felt better. I also have never felt like shit with the medication I was given.
You don’t need a doctor to check your A1C, or any bloodwork. There are labs that you can go to independently, pay, get blood drawn and get the results personally in a few days without any doctor ever knowing about it.

I’ve done just about everything you mentioned in the last few years since my doctor told me to get off sugar a few years ago. I also work out a lot for my age. I’m 66 and I’m a cyclist and doing over 100 miles a week since I retired last year. . Also do some floor exercises and stretching has really become important. My weight is pretty stable but I did have to give up intermittent fasting and introduce some more carbs because I was bonking on bike rides over 40 miles. I guess I will have to look into Berberine.

Thank you I am very shocked because I just saw my PA a couple of weeks ago and my A1c is borderline diabetes and she said that she wouldn’t do anything about that that that was OK. Nothing to worry about.
The title is misleading, I thought, all I had to do was take 5 steps. Ha,ha, just kidding😁 I found your presentation, very informative and beneficial. You are an excellent communicator and narrator, and being very attractive, only helps. Thank you for all you do. 👍
Dr. Nolte: Do you have the citation or reference about the effect of walking right after a meal as I like to find out the details of the original source like how long can an individual should start to walk after the meal. Thanks a lot.
I think doctors are getting frustrated with the obesity/diabetes epidemic. I am sure they are encouraging people to eat better and exercise every day and it falls on deaf ears. People need to take responsibility for their own health don’t leave it all up to the doctor.
I have used chromium picolinate years ago when I had an A1C at 5. 9 . It dropped to 5.6 and 8 months. It was only 200 mg once a day at the heaviest meal I would take it afterwards and it dropped the a1c. Just my experience ✌🏻

I stopped insulin early January, and sadly, my A1C will be higher because, although I am intermittent fasting (min 16 hrs), eating few carbs a day, walking after my meals, my BS is going up. 😟 I can't take berberine be cause I take Xeralto.
I'm 61 and have been battling high cholesterol for decades and now I'm pre-diabetic with my last A1c of 6.3 , fasting glucose of 123, HDL 52/LDL 145, resting heart rate of 50s-70s and BP always 117/72 or better. Whereas before I was laid off, had an operation to replace my ACL, got divorced, lost my best friend to cancer and stopped taking my medication regularly all my numbers were excellent with just 5mg Rosuvastatin a day. I'm 5'9.5", weigh 191, fairly muscular and have maintained a consistent 31 inch waist throughout my life. I don't "work out" but am very strong from physical labor and make a point to walk at night with my dog 3 or 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes if possible. I fast 6PM-6PM with 2 cups black coffee/splenda, Metamucil and apple cider vinegar in the mornings with average 115 glucose and maybe some nuts throughout the day until 6PM when I usually eat beef, avocados onions and tomatoes and salmon or fish other times. I rarely eat grains, bread, sugar, never drink alcohol or soda, I drink lots of water maybe 8 oz per hour. I ate some sugar after I got my continuous glucose monitor and it bounced glucose up to 150 for a few minutes and then declined to the low 80's over the next few hours. My glucose stays around 115 while sleeping but spikes to 123 or more when I get up to use the restroom and sometimes stays there until about noon when it drops to 107-110. I'm still taking the 5mg statin. I'm not diabetic but after seeing some of you report numbers in the 5s on your A1C I'm looking for suggestions on how I can get there. I'm being pushed to get on metformin before I hit 6.5 and I'm considering it to avoid the medical insurance changes after that milestone diagnosis my Dr says he'll have to report if I ever hit that number. I don't lack discipline and can/will do whatever it takes to beat this trend.
Thank you for the information. What is the best time to check your morning glucose? I get up around 6:15 am, should I measure it at that time? I never eat breakfast, so should it be measured maybe two hours after I wake or just before I am ready for lunch at 11:00? I only eat two meals per day, but it's still confusing. The reason for this question is because we all have rising glucose levels just before we wake up, I think this is called the "Dawn Effect". My thought is that if you measure your glucose level within a few minutes after you wake, it will not be accurate. You can't be certain that your body is outside of the Dawn Effect window. Any thoughts?
Whats the point of checking a fasting glucose? Unless it's abnormal it's completely useless. A normal fasting glucose tells you nothing about your actual response to food.
My thought precisely because of the circadian rhythm that’s gets body ready for wake up between 4am and 8am,if I check blood glucose before 8am it’s more than 100 but after 8am it’s at 100….been thinking about that a lot !
That's what my mom used to tell me, but from personal experience, I'm fine after exercising after meals. Before I walk my half marathons, I eat breakfast and right before i start, I eat a banana. Plus, she's saying a walk, which could be a stroll, not a very brisk walk, and for 10 minutes you should be fine. Everyone reacts differently, so you can start w/5 minutes at a slower stroll and see what happens.
I learned I was pre-diabetic with an A1c of 5.8 at the end of 2023. (I didn’t even know such a thing existed). Using Carb Manager app, I went on a keto diet which restricted my carbs to 15 g and currently to 13 g. daily; lost 20 pounds. This week April 2, had my A1c test (non fasting) redone after three months on Keto with no cheats. The last week in March, had my fasting blood glucose tested. It came in at 99 from 105 - healthy but “just”. I was expecting a reading in the 80s. But the real devastating result was my A1c INCREASED to 5.9! I was so confident that it would be around 5.5! Cannot see my nutritionist nor primary care physician until the end of April. Felt totally lost, on a runaway train to Type 2 but have regrouped and developed a new plan which will hopefully get me out of prediabetes state. Why would my fasting glucose decrease but my A1c increase? Could there be an error in the test? Do I need to wait three more months to retest my A1c? In the meantime, I went back through all my blood work from previous years and saw I had an A1c of 5.7 in 2020!! Like you said, no one told me about the test results and what it meant. Thank you for all your information.
I’m in a similar situation, 😣my Aic didn’t budge from 5.8 despite a ketogenic lifestyle. I’m not 100 strict but I eat 90% clean . I was disappointed it didn’t decrease. I think it’s stress hormone and menopause that’s causing me to stay at the preddm. But I’m determined to change it! I will definitely try the
@stevejensen3471 Thanks for the tip. Even though I'm happy with my A1c I'm battling to lower my fasting glucose. It's ranging from 96 to 106. I want it
You A1C actually doesn't define if you are prediabetic or not, my A1C was 5.4 seems normal, right? But my insulin curve....was taking so many hours to come down, that's the best test you can do, dont just trust your A1C. Dont trust your regular doctor, go with a endocrinologist and make sure you get all the special test to see if your insulin is ok.

I have never been diagnosed with pre diabetes or diabetes. I just went to see a doctor for prostate issues and a physical. I did not notice until later there was a diagnosis of prediabetes in my record. The only thing I found pertaining to this was in her notes saying she discussed with me my prediabetes. Which she didn’t. My a1c was 5.2. When they did the urine test to check for infections, the results were also negative for glucose and ketones? Did she see my age and just assume? Then didn’t discuss because the results came back normal, or are there other factors I am missing.

There is no breakdown of a1c for age. If your a1c is 5.6% and under you don’t have diabetes. A1c between 5.7%~6.4% is pre diabetes. A1c above 6.5% is diabetes. This A1c breakdown is for all ages.
I lowered my HbA1c out of the diabetic zone by losing 32 lbs in 8 weeks using an 800 calorie a day meal replacement plan Hardcore dieting, but fast and effective.
5.6% is still normal (no pre-diabetes) but borderline for pre-diabetes (which starts at 5.7% - 6.4%). You are still okay but I would start following the recommendations this video is saying to prevent your A1c from increasing in the long run.
I just had my Bloodwork done and mine was 6.3. Im a fitness fanatic and have been for decades, i dont eat junk food and very little sugar intake although i am in a calorie surplus at the moment which means a higher carb intake. I wonder if that is causing it ?
What kind of carbs? Bread? Pasta? Your carbs should be from fruit, beans, stuff with fiber. They reduce the spike. Bread and pasta are just straight carbs.
Been on keto/carnivore 2.5 years. Lost a 100 pounds and my a1c is still 9.7. I eat no sugar and almost no carbs. A few blueberries here and there. I feel great and exercise daily. HELP. I’ve changed my entire lifestyle and things are getting worst according to those numbers
My A1C is 5.4, but my fasting glucose over the past 7 years has been 98-124. I bought a glucose monitor, and my result is always over 100. Most times it is 112-115. It doesn’t matter if I’ve fasted or if I’ve eaten. Does this mean my insulin is not working? I also have not eaten sugar or processed foods since January of this year, and also watch my carbs (and have included intermittent fasting). I’ve lost only 8 pounds in 9 months. I workout everyday for 40 minutes, including strength, cardio, and balance. I just started taking Berberine, so I’m hoping this might help? This is maddening, because my husband started eating and exercising like me, and lost 30 pounds in 3 months. 😢
You either have to lower your carb even more or exercise more. To feel satieted, increase protein. You might want to check your hormone level and might need to go on hrt: ß17-estradiol and progesterone.
@@TheShumoby I workout everyday. When I increase exercise more than the 45 minutes a day I gain more weight. I have a tendency to overdo. But I’m 58, and the female body can’t recover from exercise like it did when there was a lot of estrogen. I can’t take hormone supplements because of a history of breast cancer in my family. My AST was high after taking Berberine, so the doctor told me to stop. My doctor actually told me to stop worrying about the last few pounds, but I want them gone. It’s frustrating.
They all say consult a health care professional the joke here doctors will only treat symptoms with FDA approved treatments. Anything other will be discounted February my A12 was 8.8 by June it came down to 6.6 that is all diet. You have to do your own homework good luck.
Another great way to lower A1C is to chew greens or chew raw veggies first before eating the next course. By eating salads first, before proteins, and finishing the meal with starchy carbohydrates, she says blood glucose spikes will be flattened, which is better for you. -NIH-
HBA1c is a measure of the average over the last 3 months. So if you are consistent for that period you will see a decline and that will continue going forward (all other things being equal) So if it works prior to the next meal, and you do it every day, it must make a difference.
It's a numbers game :) Walking may help it not rise to 180 - 200 or whatever, so over time, it'll decrease that average. One can hope. And if not, at least folks got some walking done.
Some folks are incredibly weak. I lived in a landfil for over a week in a war zone. Removing sugar and reducing carbs was child's play compared to that.
I have been to dieticians before and this presentation does the same thing--offer a reduced quality of life be only being able to eat forage. That isn't living.

The question is - WHY aren’t MD / PCPs addressing PreDiabetes aggressively? This issue is 100% a massive and destructive health issue
It’s about money for the pharmaceutical, and medical industries! They need customers...you!

How about doing squads after meal?
Doc. Can you please paper presenting walk post meal for 10 min. Is better than 30 min. walk in morning? Tx
Thank you I am very shocked because I just saw my PA a couple of weeks ago and my A1c is borderline diabetes and she said that she wouldn’t do anything about that that that was OK. Nothing to worry about.
There is no pre diabetes your are diabetic. Just not bad enough to require meds. Don’t wait get going now. Find a new doctor
It's not okay though.
See a physician not a PA or NP. They know nothing about medicine!
Any suggestions regarding berberine and people who take losartan?
The title is misleading, I thought, all I had to do was take 5 steps.
Ha,ha, just kidding😁
I found your presentation, very informative and beneficial.
You are an excellent communicator and narrator, and being very attractive, only helps.
Thank you for all you do. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. We hope you found the video helpful. ❤️
Dr. Nolte: Do you have the citation or reference about the effect of walking right after a meal as I like to find out the details of the original source like how long can an individual should start to walk after the meal. Thanks a lot.

Can berberine be taken will on Eliquis
I think doctors are getting frustrated with the obesity/diabetes epidemic. I am sure they are encouraging people to eat better and exercise every day and it falls on deaf ears. People need to take responsibility for their own health don’t leave it all up to the doctor.
i’m very interested in learning how to reduce my carbohydrate intake intake I am 54 and 126 pounds and I’m a senior+
I have used chromium picolinate years ago when I had an A1C at 5. 9 . It dropped to 5.6 and 8 months. It was only 200 mg once a day at the heaviest meal I would take it afterwards and it dropped the a1c. Just my experience ✌🏻
Thanks, I never heard of Berberine?
Its Barberry
Thanks for your video

I stopped insulin early January, and sadly, my A1C will be higher because, although I am intermittent fasting (min 16 hrs), eating few carbs a day, walking after my meals, my BS is going up. 😟 I can't take berberine be cause I take Xeralto.
I'm 61 and have been battling high cholesterol for decades and now I'm pre-diabetic with my last A1c of 6.3 , fasting glucose of 123, HDL 52/LDL 145, resting heart rate of 50s-70s and BP always 117/72 or better. Whereas before I was laid off, had an operation to replace my ACL, got divorced, lost my best friend to cancer and stopped taking my medication regularly all my numbers were excellent with just 5mg Rosuvastatin a day. I'm 5'9.5", weigh 191, fairly muscular and have maintained a consistent 31 inch waist throughout my life. I don't "work out" but am very strong from physical labor and make a point to walk at night with my dog 3 or 4 times a week for at least 30 minutes if possible. I fast 6PM-6PM with 2 cups black coffee/splenda, Metamucil and apple cider vinegar in the mornings with average 115 glucose and maybe some nuts throughout the day until 6PM when I usually eat beef, avocados onions and tomatoes and salmon or fish other times. I rarely eat grains, bread, sugar, never drink alcohol or soda, I drink lots of water maybe 8 oz per hour. I ate some sugar after I got my continuous glucose monitor and it bounced glucose up to 150 for a few minutes and then declined to the low 80's over the next few hours. My glucose stays around 115 while sleeping but spikes to 123 or more when I get up to use the restroom and sometimes stays there until about noon when it drops to 107-110. I'm still taking the 5mg statin. I'm not diabetic but after seeing some of you report numbers in the 5s on your A1C I'm looking for suggestions on how I can get there. I'm being pushed to get on metformin before I hit 6.5 and I'm considering it to avoid the medical insurance changes after that milestone diagnosis my Dr says he'll have to report if I ever hit that number.
I don't lack discipline and can/will do whatever it takes to beat this trend.
What is berberine?
What about Farxiga?
Can you lower your a1c without losing weight?
Do you treat anybody no matter where they are?
Thank you for the information. What is the best time to check your morning glucose? I get up around 6:15 am, should I measure it at that time? I never eat breakfast, so should it be measured maybe two hours after I wake or just before I am ready for lunch at 11:00? I only eat two meals per day, but it's still confusing. The reason for this question is because we all have rising glucose levels just before we wake up, I think this is called the "Dawn Effect". My thought is that if you measure your glucose level within a few minutes after you wake, it will not be accurate. You can't be certain that your body is outside of the Dawn Effect window. Any thoughts?
Whats the point of checking a fasting glucose? Unless it's abnormal it's completely useless. A normal fasting glucose tells you nothing about your actual response to food.
My thought precisely because of the circadian rhythm that’s gets body ready for wake up between 4am and 8am,if I check blood glucose before 8am it’s more than 100 but after 8am it’s at 100….been thinking about that a lot !
There is more than one thing that can affect fasting glucose. I would still check, shortly after you wake up.
Is it advisable to walk right away after the main meals ?
Doesn't it impact our digestive sysytem ?
That's what my mom used to tell me, but from personal experience, I'm fine after exercising after meals. Before I walk my half marathons, I eat breakfast and right before i start, I eat a banana.
Plus, she's saying a walk, which could be a stroll, not a very brisk walk, and for 10 minutes you should be fine. Everyone reacts differently, so you can start w/5 minutes at a slower stroll and see what happens.
I'm at 5.8. My goal is 5
I learned I was pre-diabetic with an A1c of 5.8 at the end of 2023. (I didn’t even know such a thing existed). Using Carb Manager app, I went on a keto diet which restricted my carbs to 15 g and currently to 13 g. daily; lost 20 pounds. This week April 2, had my A1c test (non fasting) redone after three months on Keto with no cheats. The last week in March, had my fasting blood glucose tested. It came in at 99 from 105 - healthy but “just”. I was expecting a reading in the 80s. But the real devastating result was my A1c INCREASED to 5.9! I was so confident that it would be around 5.5! Cannot see my nutritionist nor primary care physician until the end of April. Felt totally lost, on a runaway train to Type 2 but have regrouped and developed a new plan which will hopefully get me out of prediabetes state. Why would my fasting glucose decrease but my A1c increase? Could there be an error in the test? Do I need to wait three more months to retest my A1c? In the meantime, I went back through all my blood work from previous years and saw I had an A1c of 5.7 in 2020!! Like you said, no one told me about the test results and what it meant. Thank you for all your information.
I’m in a similar situation, 😣my Aic didn’t budge from 5.8 despite a ketogenic lifestyle. I’m not 100 strict but I eat 90% clean . I was disappointed it didn’t decrease. I think it’s stress hormone and menopause that’s causing me to stay at the preddm. But I’m determined to change it! I will definitely try the
Try taking Berberine (2 x 500mg), lowers A1c by up to 1% point. Worked for me a treat (A1c: 4.9% after 4 months)
Maintenance: 500mg every other day.
@@rubix01 Also try chromium picolinate as subclinical chromium deficiency leads to higher blood sugar and A1C. Most folks are deficient!
@stevejensen3471
Thanks for the tip. Even though I'm happy with my A1c I'm battling to lower my fasting glucose. It's ranging from 96 to 106. I want it
@@rubix01 CrP also helps with BG as that's the basis for A1C.
You A1C actually doesn't define if you are prediabetic or not, my A1C was 5.4 seems normal, right? But my insulin curve....was taking so many hours to come down, that's the best test you can do, dont just trust your A1C. Dont trust your regular doctor, go with a endocrinologist and make sure you get all the special test to see if your insulin is ok.
Awesome

I have never been diagnosed with pre diabetes or diabetes. I just went to see a doctor for prostate issues and a physical.
I did not notice until later there was a diagnosis of prediabetes in my record. The only thing I found pertaining to this was in her notes saying she discussed with me my prediabetes. Which she didn’t.
My a1c was 5.2.
When they did the urine test to check for infections, the results were also negative for glucose and ketones?
Did she see my age and just assume? Then didn’t discuss because the results came back normal, or are there other factors I am missing.
This was likely a mistake as you are definitely not pre diabetes nor diabetes. Talk to your doctor!
5.2% is GREAT!
Does Berberine interact with some medications ?
Google for each med interaction.
So what diet did she follow to lower her a1c?
What about flaxseed hemp seeds. And walnuts? Thanks

What is the recommended A1C level for senior citizens?
There is no breakdown of a1c for age. If your a1c is 5.6% and under you don’t have diabetes. A1c between 5.7%~6.4% is pre diabetes. A1c above 6.5% is diabetes. This A1c breakdown is for all ages.
CDC.gov has Diabetes charts
It depends how old a senior I think. My MIL is 90, and hers is at 7.5%, but they aren't concerned.
I lowered my HbA1c out of the diabetic zone by losing 32 lbs in 8 weeks using an 800 calorie a day meal replacement plan Hardcore dieting, but fast and effective.
What about 5.7 A1C ?
You mention walking for 10 minutes after eating. Does it have to be walking or can I use my recumbent instead?
Yes, any physical activity will use up the glucose in your blood. The recumbent cycle uses your leg muscles, which is similar to walking.
In the study, was there an ideal amount of time after eating to walk? I don't want to wait too long and not reap the benefit.
I heard her say "right away." I also read an article that said after 30-60 minutes, but I can't find it right now.
Can riding a stationary bike replace the walking?
Any type will do!

My age is 33 and my Hba1c is 5.6. Is it normal or worrying sign or not to worry? Thanks :)
5.6% is still normal (no pre-diabetes) but borderline for pre-diabetes (which starts at 5.7% - 6.4%). You are still okay but I would start following the recommendations this video is saying to prevent your A1c from increasing in the long run.
I just had my Bloodwork done and mine was 6.3. Im a fitness fanatic and have been for decades, i dont eat junk food and very little sugar intake although i am in a calorie surplus at the moment which means a higher carb intake. I wonder if that is causing it ?
High refined carbs will do it every time.
Probably carbs.
What kind of carbs? Bread? Pasta? Your carbs should be from fruit, beans, stuff with fiber. They reduce the spike. Bread and pasta are just straight carbs.
@rzagza11 Oatmeal and brown rice...90% of my carb intake. And not the sugar filled flavoured Oatmeal.
@@redstang70 it’s probably genetic if you are eating that clean.
Been on keto/carnivore 2.5 years. Lost a 100 pounds and my a1c is still 9.7. I eat no sugar and almost no carbs. A few blueberries here and there. I feel great and exercise daily. HELP. I’ve changed my entire lifestyle and things are getting worst according to those numbers
According to those numbers, you need to be on some meds
I hope you are. I hope your doctor has done a c- peptide on you. Do you exercise?
My A1C is 5.4, but my fasting glucose over the past 7 years has been 98-124. I bought a glucose monitor, and my result is always over 100. Most times it is 112-115. It doesn’t matter if I’ve fasted or if I’ve eaten. Does this mean my insulin is not working? I also have not eaten sugar or processed foods since January of this year, and also watch my carbs (and have included intermittent fasting). I’ve lost only 8 pounds in 9 months. I workout everyday for 40 minutes, including strength, cardio, and balance. I just started taking Berberine, so I’m hoping this might help? This is maddening, because my husband started eating and exercising like me, and lost 30 pounds in 3 months. 😢
What monitor did u buy mine is at 6.5 Dr told me I was 1 before being diabetic?THANKS
Are ur thyroid levels normal?
@@mischef4239They were 6 months ago.
You either have to lower your carb even more or exercise more. To feel satieted, increase protein. You might want to check your hormone level and might need to go on hrt: ß17-estradiol and progesterone.
@@TheShumoby I workout everyday. When I increase exercise more than the 45 minutes a day I gain more weight. I have a tendency to overdo. But I’m 58, and the female body can’t recover from exercise like it did when there was a lot of estrogen. I can’t take hormone supplements because of a history of breast cancer in my family. My AST was high after taking Berberine, so the doctor told me to stop. My doctor actually told me to stop worrying about the last few pounds, but I want them gone. It’s frustrating.
Berberine had no effect on me over a three month period.
No wonder why my blood sugar has been high. I find it very difficult to get some good sleep.
Do you recommend a company to purchase the Berberine?
Natural grocers has it
Hello,I'm 28 years old. Can you please tell me I have HbA1c test on 15 April and it is 5.65%. is this prediabetic or not ?
#kindly #answer me ?
She said 5.7% is considered pre-diabetes on her chart.
They all say consult a health care professional the joke here doctors will only treat symptoms with FDA approved treatments. Anything other will be discounted February my A12 was 8.8 by June it came down to 6.6 that is all diet. You have to do your own homework good luck.
Is it ok to walk more than 10 minutes after each meal?
Any workout will do!

Until the standard American diet “food pyramid” is restructured, our society will continue to denigrate and suffer.
I believe l heard her say "right after eating", otherwise an insulin response is triggered.
Another great way to lower A1C is to chew greens or chew raw veggies first before eating the next course.
By eating salads first, before proteins, and finishing the meal with starchy carbohydrates, she says blood glucose spikes will be flattened, which is better for you.

@04/19 ''Intermittent fasting is highly personalized based on your MENstrual cycle and stress''
BUT I AM GOING THROUGH WOMENOPAUSE. 🤣😂😂
Walking does not lower HBA1C. It only lowers glucose levels prior to the next meal. You can walk all day and still have high A1C levels.
HBA1c is a measure of the average over the last 3 months. So if you are consistent for that period you will see a decline and that will continue going forward (all other things being equal) So if it works prior to the next meal, and you do it every day, it must make a difference.
It's a numbers game :) Walking may help it not rise to 180 - 200 or whatever, so over time, it'll decrease that average. One can hope. And if not, at least folks got some walking done.
50 - 60 Net Carbs? That’s way over 100g of Total Carbs.
50-80 grams of carbs a day? Sorry but no…
lol, it’s not hard. And you will live not only longer but better.
Some folks are incredibly weak. I lived in a landfil for over a week in a war zone. Removing sugar and reducing carbs was child's play compared to that.
I have been to dieticians before and this presentation does the same thing--offer a reduced quality of life be only being able to eat forage. That isn't living.
