The net carb point was HUGE for me. I got some low net-carb bagels and was really excited to try them, but they drove my blood sugars sky high when I took a bolus based on the net. For some time, I had an endocrinologist who tried to push a zero carb diet. I did lose a lot of weight, but was miserable and felt horrible. Eating smarter, healthy carbs works much better. I've found that ALL forms of stress raises my blood sugar, heat, illness, worry, etc. Great tips.
Facts: When I don't sleep enough, my blood sugar remains elevated. When I sleep well, it plummets to a healthy range. For fiber, YES, it works, but unfortunately, carbs come attached with them with a lot of meals. I used to drink 3L of Pepsi a day, not I'm on Pepsi 0 (no carbs, no sugar). Tastes just as good. And yes, even mild activity helps tremendously. It trains the body to get to work. And stress...undeniably a killer. Thanks for posting this. It's good common sense and simple stuff and Iknow for a fact that it works.

Thanks for this content. I’m sure that you are aware that there are varying opinions out there about what is the ideal range where we should keep our glucose levels. The American diabetes association recommends a range between 70 and 180 while Dr. Bernstein recommends much tighter control to avoid complications. I’m curious what is your approach. Where do you like to set your target glucose and what range do you strive for? Are you aware of any research that has suggested an ideal glucose range for us type one diabetics? Are you currently on an insulin pump?
Thank you for sharing such useful information! This video truly opens up new perspectives on managing blood sugar. Your simple yet effective tips will definitely help many people in the community. Looking forward to more valuable videos like this from you!
Im going thru chemotherapy and am suffering from neuropathy in my feet an my fingertips...the things you have mentioned are my craving foods...i usually dont buy chips or ice cream or milk but have been wanting them lately.
For a couple years now I get between 2 and 4 hours sleep a night and it definitely affects my health!! I've seen two different doctors who've given me good advice but didn't work. What finally is helping is concerted exercise and no booze at night.......and yes, my A1C has improved enough that I was taken off insultin.
The one thing I learnt from my doctor; Portion sizes. You said it to. I found I can eat basically what I wanted as long as I minded portion sizes. Even foods that are guaranteed to not raise bloodsugar; if I eat a bigger portion than needed my bloodsugar will spike.However; i have a job that keeps me in movement and on my feet for 7-9 hours every day and I walk or bike to and from work every day(5km each way), so I have a slightly higher than average activity in my day to day life.
Hi Scott. I don't know how to meditate & have no interest in learning how to meditate. What other suggestions do you have to deal with stress besides meditating? I live in an apartment & I get very annoyed when I hear my neighbor slam the door & that would raise my stress level. Thanks.
Hi, Do you know where I could order a free style libre 3 reader so I don't have to use my phone app? FDA approved it back in April 2023 but I can't seem to find where to buy one. Thanks.
I have tried for a few years due to another T1D suggesting subtract fiber from carbs and my sugar goes through the roof every time regardless of my sugar and prebolis 15 minutes before.
@@diabetesdailydigest I searched YT for "qi gong lower blood sugar" and found a few YT shorts that had a quick impact for my blood sugar. Not everyone believes in or wants to legitimize qi gong or EFT/TFT, but it worked for me. I appreciate you looking into it.
Do the Soleus Pushup to Lower Blood Sugar. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your body relaxed. Keeping the front of your foot on the floor, raise your heels to their full range of motion. Release to allow your heels to return to the floor. And repeat
The strange thing with me is that fasting blood sugar in the morning is about 130, while the reading after 2 hours of eating is 115 , is there any explanation for that?
I am going on 3 night's no sleep and no naps...need help. Been out of xanax and amatriplyne for monthd. Going to doctor next week. I see sleep in my future.
Do some exercise during the day. When you're ready to go to bed, focus on your breathing. Then with your eyes closed think about being asleep. Just calmly think you're sleeping. Good luck.
There are BAD carbs and then less bad carbs. Your body requires FAT and PROTEIN but can use those to make however many very little glucose it needs. Your body does NOT require carbs. Eating real foods that naturally come with fiber [ not fiber from a jar or box] can slow the intake of carbs but they are NOT essential [ essential meaning something our body can NOT make for itself]. People feel bad because 1. They are addicted to sugar... and 2. They fear fat so they are not eating it at all or are eating seed oils which are long chain amino acids that our bodies can not digest and thus are just in us wreaking havoc destroying cells. Smith to all natural low carb foods like beef, pork , seafood, lots of REAL butter and if you must the lowest glycemic index vegetables possible . But above all NOTHING from a box and NO seed oils . You will NOT be hungry... after you finish going through sugar withdrawals [ like any other addict trying to kick a habit] you will FEEL great , have fabulous blood sugars and a TON more energy. Go watch Dr. Bikman and dr. BERRY
Physical exercises do not remove glucose from the blood, exercise transforms glucose into fat and stores it in the liver. Unfortunately. The best way to eliminate glucose are fasting
Let me make some comments about lack of sleep. That is silly The best think to do if you can't sleep is take a FS. And I try to keep early am FS at 100 Improving BS level depends on reducing carbs and knowing how to use insulin. MDs DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MANAGE DIABETES. ANY SUGAR should be avoided. I LOvE naan bread and I can control the rise in carb BY KNOWING HOW TO USE INSULIN. You fail to mention the MOST important factor is knowing how to use insulin. Dah of coarse ex exercise is important.STRESS e eryone has stress Check FS and KNOW HOW TO USE INSULIN I am an MD w 20 yrs of treating my diabetes. My a1c are under 5. Excuse my texting. Good luck find8ng an MD who can help you.. Mds are useless.
I used to have great night sleeps but for the last 6 months since I’ve been on mdi my sleep has gone out the window most of the time I get 0 hrs of sleep my bg has been out of control for 30 years & my g6 keeps going off throughout the night great advice
You gotta get yourself exhausted before sleeping. When I had issues for a while, I began housecleaning or taking out the trash or just doing something that would make me break out a sweat. Then, after a shower, I'd faceplant onto my bed. You almost have to get mad at insomnia, because it could become a habit.
@@YankeeWoodcraft thanks for the advice it’s mainly my low blood sugars stop me from going to sleep I’m waiting to get a insulin pump hopefully I can then keep my bg in range & get back to going to sleep at night

I have a beagle. I walk him 20 minutes almost every time he needs to go out. If you have a dog, walk them. It’s good for both of you!

I appreciate your channel. I'm type 2 just recently diagnosed.

Tip # 6. Qi gong sequences and EFT tapping.
I'm looking into these right now. Thank you so much for sharing!

What about people unable to walk or painful to walk?
Do the Soleus Pushup to Lower Blood Sugar.

It's called dawn phenomena, Google it and find detail.
I have the same problem. My blood sugar will be up to 150 with no food at all. I eat between 20-30 g carbs a day. So irritating to me.
Mine is like that too
Me too I can't understand it
I am going on 3 night's no sleep and no naps...need help. Been out of xanax and amatriplyne for monthd. Going to doctor next week. I see sleep in my future.
Do some exercise during the day. When you're ready to go to bed, focus on your breathing. Then with your eyes closed think about being asleep. Just calmly think you're sleeping. Good luck.
@@peace1108 thank you. I will try that.

Definitely fasting and intermittent fasting will solve your high blood glucose issues!

Don’t you think if I COULD improve my sleep, I would?? It’s just not that simple as saying, “I’m gonna sleep more tonight”!!
Lmfao…believing those studies is for fools. Those same studies suggested smoking cigarettes was good for weight loss.
Which study was that?
Tip #1. Keep your mouth shut.
Don’t listen🥵🤮
