Dr. Davis, I have read your books and wish you would write one specifically dedicated to diabetes. It was your original Wheat Belly book that woke me up to the dangers of consuming wheat and led to a weight loss over 100 pounds, accompanied by reversal of type 2 diabetes.
Stopped eating carbs a1c went from 5.7 to 5.0 in six months I’m 60 I’m sure it’s still falling I’ve lost 40 lbs thought I only need to lose 20 lol high fat low carb is my new lifestyle
Tony. I was 5.8 pre. 6 weeks later I re tested 5.3. My goal is 4.8 to 5.0. Lost 12 lbs my self. Went from 138 to 126lbs. Was on keto two yrs but eating a lot of so called healthy keto snacks. I got fooled. Put them all out and my a1c changed. I was eating them too frequently. I now make keto desserts and limit to once a week. Two yrs ago when I started I was 167 then went to 125. Went to 138 and maintained. Now I don’t just throw stuff in my mouth just because it says keto. Read. Read. Read ingredients and carbs and sugar content. And eat fresh live foods.
If HbA1c is the average over 60-90 days, it wouldn't take "many months" for the moving average to come down. If you were to completely change your diet and habits, after 60-90 days the pre-change numbers would be gone. So "many months" mentiond at 5:05 should be "2 to 3 months" -- assuming the person does all of the interventions at once. In any case, when doctors say 5.7 is fine -- that's nuts.
Reading your book now, can you comment or make a video on visceral fat sending out false signals to confuse hormones and disrupt cell communication? Excellent book, thanks
So true. My mother eats a lot of quick carbs (bread, potato, rice) and she has a problem with weight, eyes (cataract on both eyes), joints are aching, etc. And she is just above 60 years old. While my father eats some bread and potato (but not as much as my mother), but he also eats a lot of fish (wild salmon, river fish, etc.). He is a fishermen and he loves to eat fish every day. He is the same age as my mother, but his eyes are clean, teeth are very good, he is active, can go long walks. I can see how too much sugar in my mother's blood damaged her health. But I cannot convince her to change her dietary habits. :(
@@WilliamDavisMD Thanks a lot for spreading the new scientific info and truth. The problem is that am Russian and my mother does not speak English. She consults with her own local doctors in Russia, who stuck in the more traditional point of view (fat is bad, "healthy grains", etc.). And information which I gather from you and other experts (Dr. Perlmutter, Dr. Lustig, Dr. Garry Fettke, Dr. Tim Noakes, Dr. Jason Fung, etc.) is not accepted by medical authorities around the globe. And in Russia medical system is fully controlled from the minitry level. :(
I had those brown spots around my ankles. Disappeared after controlling BG on keto diet. Also I agree a1c should be 5.0 to be out of danger. T2D is not "cured" unless you are down to the 5.0 range. 5.8 not good enough.
Keto/Carnivore for about 5 years. A1C never came down. It's 6.2 last time I checked. I've made the reuteri yogurt but it smells like old barf. Why doesn't it have that tart and tangy smell?
Dr Davis. My endo doctor informed me a1c of 6.0 was ideal for nutrition of brain and heart. Max value of 5.7 was just upper end of average not best. Now you say to get it under 5.0. So why does that difference appear for a1c?
A couple of years ago I stopped getting that time of the month. My A1c jumped up to about 5.8%. Then, I gave blood and, had it tested within 2 weeks of giving blood. It was on the floor - 4.8%. I now believe that premenopausal women need to have a much lower a1c. Their numbers are unusually low given the fact that they bleed every 24 days and lose glycated cells. So a1c is not accurate for premenopausal women. My a1c was always around 5.5% before I stopped periods-- I shudder to think I very well could have been prediabetic and had no idea.. this is a massive loophole that women need to be told about.

That's terrific, Ricky! You have changed the course of your life, as well as the length of your lifespan.
@@WilliamDavisMD Thank you!
Wow. Thank you. What a generous human being you are to take your time to teach us. I will buy your books.
That was nice, Diane.
This is a great explanation for A1c!

A brilliant explanation...thanks

Wow, Bg: You mean business!

Gee, sad, Alexey, that your mom has the answer right in her hands but sounds like she chooses to not pursue it.

Many doctors are not 'up to speed'...unfortunately.

Less carbs i consume the less my joints hurt why is that
@Whats the frequency Kenneth thank you
Excess sugar causes inflammation.
So u say 15 grams of carbs only???
@Whats the frequency Kenneth thank you ..
He is saying 15 net carbs per meal not total for the day!!
50 per day is Keto
wow!
Irreversible???? He should have given options to lowering it - supplements like berberine, apple cider diluted, chromium etc
You clearly didn’t listen.
