I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several months back with an a1c of 9.3. I immediately changed my diet and saw some improvement but I was eating what they recommended diabetics eat and my blood sugar dropped about 12 to 15 points but it was still way over the guidelines. I did some research and started a low carb diet and took some supplements. Saw an immediate reaction from this and dropped my blood sugar 100 points. I found your channel while searching on TH-cam and I have to say thank you for all the work you do in making your videos. I learned so much from your videos that the doctors and nutritionist didn't tell me. I now eat to my meter and learned what foods spike me and what foods don't. I dropped my a1c to 5.3 in a few months and lost 75lbs. My doctor prescribed me insulin and metformin as well as high blood pressure medication. As of now, I'm am no longer on any medication and my doctor was shocked at the results. I am not a religious man but I want to say keep preaching brother because you are saving lives. You are making a difference.
@@beatdiabetes3 Thanks and you did help! I would have never known what food spiked me and how to check my blood levels after eating since my doctor told me to check it only at night. I also would be eating way more fruit if it wasn't for you. I was told slow release carbs wouldn't spike me but they do. I love bananas but they are just as bad for me as a candy bar. wouldn't have known that if it wasn't for you. I have insulin and metformin left over and it's a shame I will have to dispose of them. Again keep preaching brother, you are saving lives..
Well, I went to my doctor today after not seeing him for 6 months. At that time I was told my A1c was 9.9 and that I was a diabetic. He said he wasn't putting me on meds and wanted me to come back in a month after I got some more blood work done. I left there dazed and a little scared since my mom died of diabetes and it was awful watching her deteriorate. I came home and went right to my computer to do some research. After reading a lot of contradictory information I came across your videos on TH-cam. I listened attentively to the things you said and did, and I was hooked on your truth regarding diabetes. I watched many of your videos and those of Dr. Fung from Toronto. I decided to go on a low-carb, higher-fat lifestyle diet. I also did a fair bit of intermittent fasting. Unfortunately, I never went back to the doctor until today, yes, 6 months later, but I was scared and wrong not to do so. Fortunately, things worked out great for me. The doctor walked in and said, "Wow Chuck, where's the rest of you"?. I had lost 41 pounds. He then wanted to take a look at my recent blood work. As I watched he kept saying, wow, wow, this is fantastic and what an improvement. My A1c was 7.2 and obviously continuing to fall. My daily glucose reading was 5.2. Not only that, all the bad markers I previously had, such as high cholesterol, triglycerides, poor kidney function, etc., were all down to normal now. I am not overly religious, but I believe God directed me to your site. You may have helped save me from a life of misery in these later years. Thanks so much!!!
@@USNBLUE ...I sure do feel better and have lots more energy. I have severe arthritis in my legs and had difficulty walking a block without bad pain and discomfort. Now I can walk around the block without any of those terrible symptoms. I was helped in so many ways. Thanks for your comment.
I have been suffering from type 2 Diabetes for the last 6 months. I thought because I was raised An Adventist, that Being a vegetarian I could eat anything that I wanted, outside of meat..... Boy was I wrong!!! I'm so glad to find this channel to help me live a better life. 🙏thank you
I always loved your program. Very content, logical person. I’m not diabetic still love your channel. One personal question, being logical and test yourself kind of man is a “religious person “ anyways that doesn’t matter. You are just a good human being. Cheers !!
I made up my mind tonight. I'm making this cheesecake for Thanksgiving. My sister and father are both type II diabetics, and I'm prediabetic but making progress dispite my genetic disadvantage. This will be perfect. I'm buying the ingredients I need tomorrow!
Not a diabetic...and don't want to become one! Made this for Thanksgiving & wasn't disappointed...delicious! Thanks for all the education you provide, Dennis :)
This channel is a huge help to me. Diabetes runs in my family and I am doing all that I can to avoid it like the plague that it is. You and Benedicta have been so helpful to me. I love this recipe and will try it for Thanksgiving. It is definitely a healthy option.
We love your shows, GOD has blessed you with this gift, we stumbled over your channel weeks ago and now watch you daily and now visit the spirit of grace website for updates. You are one of the best video editors I have seen yet to date. Wife and I are not diabetic but live keto and are believers in Abilene TX. We are going to make this dessert tonight using a lemon extract instead of orange. I will cook the cheesecake in instapot pressure cooker using spring pan
I KNOW it's awesome!! I make diabetic desserts for potlucks. Diabetics are always overlooked at these functions. Being diabetic and a dessert queen, it became a game changer when I was diagnosed several years ago. My dessert kitchen became a diabetic dessert "lab". So now, I bring diabetic friendly desserts to these potlucks, among is cheesecake, pies, puddings and cookies. Voortmans make sugar free wafer cookies as well as other sugar free cookies. They also now make sugar free chocolate chips in dark, milk and "white" chocolate. I like to take the orange or peanutbutter wafer, dip the two ends in the melted sugar free chocolate (about an inch up or little less) and let them set. Delicious! I have been thanked many times for these contributions, even by curious non diabetic "samplers" on how good they are. One woman once stood up and made the announcement on how awesome they were! " and they dont taste sugar free, either!" They are not carb free, but they are very low carb and one can enjoy the occasional indulgence without guilt. After all, at a food fest or potluck, diabetics are going to be there whether only a couple or a few, but I know how depressing it is to only see the richest and sweetest WORSE, decadent desserts on the spread, and you mustn't have any! The torture! So Miss "Dessert Queen" after being diagnosed a type 2, decided to do something about it. I went from making regular cheesecakes to diabetic friendly, same with pies, cookies and other goodies. And they are just as decorated and enticing as the regular! But the rule still applies, "a piece, not the whole thing!" But we dont have to be left out at the dessert table anymore!
I just HAD to report back! The Thanksgiving Day feast is done. I avoided all bread, crackers, potatoes and other starches. I had my fill of Turkey and vegs, cheese, Italian ham/salami and hot stuffed cherry peppers. And I had 3 slices of this low-carb chocolate drizzle orange cheesecake. My blood glucose 1 hour later: Not bad; 74!!! Another testament to low carb eating and intermittent fasting! Thanks for all your inspiration!
That looks really good! I was diagnosed with 3rd stage kidney disease. I decided to take control of my life and eating habits. I started with gluten free and though it's overwhelming, I'm starting to eliminate sugar from my diet. Prayers for me please!
Just in time for Thanksgiving & Christmas! Thanks for posting this! I have tried your pancake recipe and your chia cereal and enjoy both of them and my husband loves them especially the pancakes cause, like you he always had Saturday pancake day! Such a relief to find something that doesnt raise his blood sugar to unreasonable levels! God bless you and your family this Thanksgiving Christmas s holiday season. Definitely looking forward to trying this dessert ! We always loved your recipes! God is good! Mike the meter youtube star debut! Lol great humor! .
I live to cook, I love to cook, and my life was cooking, but with finding out I am a diabetic my life has changed. I do not make cake mix cakes, I use good butter and eggs and lots of love with all of the cakes and desserts I make. 3 weeks ago, I found out I am a diabetic. I was so scared because I have been truly blessed with good health and now this. I will have to try this recipe to satisfy my cravings. Thank you for posting.
Lol, Mike the talking meter. That's awesome. Your #'s were fantastic!! Thanks for this vid. Dessert looks good. And praise God your trip went well & home safely.
I will definitely try your recipe. Since I was first told I was having pre diabetes, I got very scared of eating every little thing, probably that is why I lowered my A1c. But after trying and trying more healthy foods without being scared anymore I feel more healthy and my blood sugars does not spike higher even after eating my good size meals, I added more variety of foods, more veggies and also added fruits in my diet and does not hurt my blood sugar, thanks to your advice of eating certain types of fruits. Thanks a lot for all the recipes and the health advices.
That is what I need, a meter that gives me back talk. hahahaha The Pie is going to get me through the holidays when everyone else is pigging out on sweets. Thank you so much for your video's, I really enjoy them.
First time I’ve ever heard Mike’s opinion. Sounds like a real character. Between Benedicta and Mike Dennis doesn’t stand a chance! Let my meter George watch this video 3 times, but he doesn’t seem to have learned anything! I do have a feeling he really wants me to try this recipe. Thanks Dennis for another fun and interesting video!!!! God bless you!
Wow Dennis, not only was that an amazing video, ... "Mike the Meter" was ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! You should use him more often! it's really cute! Have a Blessed Day and send my regards to Benedicta! God Bless!
I enjoy your videos all the time , may God Bless you with what you’re both doing in Africa. I’m not diabetic but 3 years ago the doctor said I was pre diabetic I did the keto diet lost 15lbs and then when I went back he said I was in the normal range. But he said I still needed to lose weight...I started the journey on the Keto lifestyle 6 weeks ago and have lost 12 lbs. I was 150 years ago but gained 30lbs. I want this lifestyle of being able to have dominion of myself. Not the other way around, carb eating just gets out of control. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I was even thinking of breaking the lifestyle for apple pie. But since I’ve watched your video I think I’m doing this cheese cake and see how well I like it. Thank you for this encouraging video. God Bless you my Brother and Sister (Ben) in Christ Jesus Amen 🙏❤️
My fav dessert is no sugar lime or cherry jello made according to directions on the box, with a half pkg. of softened cream cheese blended in. Then I add some chopped pecans and slivered almonds. Pre diabetes I added crushed pineapple. Now, I think the crunchy almond slivers are just as good and sort of take the place of the pineapple.
I can’t wait to give this a try! Do you remember if you ate this right after dinner? Or was treat your dinner? Btw, I’ve made pancakes and mug cakes using your recipes and not only were they delicious but my blood sugar didn’t spike afterwards! You are truly God send Dennis. Thank you for all that you do! God is using you to save lives 🙏🏼
I normally eat my desserts immediately after dinner - in fact I consider them a part of my dinner. But Saturday nights I party - I watch an old movie with Ben and I have a keto type snack with coffee a couple of hours after my dinner.
I was skeptical bc I made another sugar free cheesecake and the texture was totally off. I made this last night. It tastes like regular cheesecake. I laughed when I tried it. I was just so surprised at how delicious it is. Thanks so much for sharing!
Pastor Dennis, that Cheesecake looked DIVINE! It looked sooo good and too pretty to EAT!! Hahaha Thank you for sharing. Also, I am happy that you and Benedcita had another safe and successful mission. God Bless! And BOY, Mr. Meter is quite Full of Himself!! Happy to learn that THIS cheesecake is Diabetic Friendly as well. Happy Thanksgiving to You and Benedicta!!
Well, I made the Hurry up and Wait Cheesecake and enjoyed it immensely. I learned some things along the way: You have to be careful in what you select as a sugar substitute: Some items that advertise themselves as Stevia based have a first ingredient of Maltodextrin! Yep - you want Stevia as a natural sweetener and some products are bulked up with the one sweetener that has a higher glycemic index than glucose! So be careful out there. There are a few other things - I started with sliced almonds and crushed them by hand with a spoon (I don't have a blender) which worked well but I was a little short. I had assumed that 1.5 cups of whole almonds might be the same as about a cup of sliced, but not quite. Also, for the topping I mistakenly used the 1:1 stevia mix instead of straight stevia, so it was less sweet but still good. Then my wife tells me that she doesn't care for the orange extract. Darn, I have to eat the whole thing myself over the next week. :)
I love this video ! .. being a yoyo diabetic I need this in my life and need to get into a new normal!! second video I seen and am so amused and educated alll at the same time ! Thank u God bless 😇 I can't wait to try this !
It is wonderful that you found this delicious looking dessert that is diabetic friendly and I was so happy to see that your numbers were still good after consuming this. I am also pre-diabetic and am always lookin for some good, diabetic friendly desserts. Has Benidicta tried this dessert? I can't imagine anyone not liking this. God bless you both.
Ur the best!!! Love the pizzas been eating them all week! I’m 43 trying to bring down this 7.8 A1C I really hope I can I’m down to 196 from 268 at my biggest! I gotta keep it low carb & keep my blood sugar low. I know I can do it u r a big inspiration!!!
You'll get there. To speed the job take some time off from food to, Interment fasting, or longer, I watch Dr Fung on TH-cam as well, between him and Dennis, made big health changes, and shed 65 lbs, since Jan 1, been nearly year now, A1C dropped from 9, down to 5.9
Dennis looks like a good way to unwind. I'll be trying this recipe. Swerve is expensive. Anthony's brand erythritol on Amazon is less expensive. If you need powdered erythritol just throw some granulated erythritol in the coffee or spice grinder. Also wanted to tell you that I found a perfect low carb pecan pie if your interested. Pricey, but it can be done once a year. :)
I made this tonight and it came out so good . I did switch pecans for the almonds and I used Lakanto sweetener .Thank you for the recipe.Happy Thanksgiving.
Dennis, wow wow wow! Can't wait to try this. Your chia pudding has become my everyday breakfast. Late breakfast of course. LOL. And we love making your tortilla Pizza. I have high hopes for this recipe. I'm glad you had a good trip and are both back safely. I have to take issue with one point in the video however. Poirot is the coolest detective on TV. I have put Foyle's War on my watchlist but I doubt he will hold the proverbial candle to Poirot. If you haven't watched you must. He is played by David Suchet. Love love love David Suchet. He came to Christianity as an adult and has a wonderful conversion story. Somewhat CS Lewis-like. If you're interested I can send you a link. Thanks again for another great video, and watch you some Poirot!
Love the channel ❤️ you are a true inspiration for diabetes 🙏 I been cutting my carbs since watching your channel over a week ago and I had blood sugar levels above 200 daily.now a week later and cut out almost all carbs my blood sugar is around 150 and 160 only a week in to my low carb diet.thank you.
If you are only using stevia, you want to cut down on the amount you use, because it is much sweeter than erithritol, and unprocessed stevia can have a bit of a bitter aftertaste for at least some people. The amount of non-sugar sweetener you should use varies, depending on the type.
I make a no bake version. To the Almond mix I usually add 85% chocolate, with the butter it usually solidifies the base. I have gone as far as adding peanut butter to the mix - which makes it even yummier. I use inulin, not cheap but very high in fibre. As for cheese part, I usually use soft cream cheese or full fat / half fat curd cheese, sweetened to taste. No baking required, just place in the refrigerator. Vanilla extract has been experimented with as well as adding mixed spice. The variations are endless. 😀
Dennis, I agree that Swerve can be quite expensive. Especially if you use it when making low carb deserts for example. So what I started doing was...rather than buy Swerve, I have a bag of erythritol and a small coffee grinder and grind the erythritol myself. It saves a lot of money but swerve and erythritol are the same thing. I can also do that with monk fruit as well, etc.
@ Dennis Pollock Was as the doctor's today. Fasting blood sugar was 74 mg /dl. HbA1C was 5.4 % Has been 5.4 % for 4 months now. I went to an Interfaith Thanksgiving service tonight. Have two small mandarin oranges and three small pieces of dark chocolate. Stayed clear of all the homemade hundreds of cookies and brownies. Blood sugar was 119 mg/dl, when I got home, which is a good number after fruit and dark chocolate. A non-scale win!
Dennis you must be related to Jackson Pollock with that design on the chocolate topping. p.s. I actually walked on to the set of Foyle's War when they were filming in Dublin, it was in Bull Alley St. beside St. Patrick's Cathedral, I have images of it.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several months back with an a1c of 9.3. I immediately changed my diet and saw some improvement but I was eating what they recommended diabetics eat and my blood sugar dropped about 12 to 15 points but it was still way over the guidelines. I did some research and started a low carb diet and took some supplements. Saw an immediate reaction from this and dropped my blood sugar 100 points.

I love bananas but they are just as bad for me as a candy bar. wouldn't have known that if it wasn't for you. I have insulin and metformin left over and it's a shame I will have to dispose of them. Again keep preaching brother, you are saving lives..

Happy to learn that THIS cheesecake is Diabetic Friendly as well. Happy Thanksgiving to You and Benedicta!!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Laura!
This seems like a good Thanksgiving treat; I think I'll surprise my wife with this!
Well, I made the Hurry up and Wait Cheesecake and enjoyed it immensely. I learned some things along the way: You have to be careful in what you select as a sugar substitute: Some items that advertise themselves as Stevia based have a first ingredient of Maltodextrin! Yep - you want Stevia as a natural sweetener and some products are bulked up with the one sweetener that has a higher glycemic index than glucose! So be careful out there. There are a few other things - I started with sliced almonds and crushed them by hand with a spoon (I don't have a blender) which worked well but I was a little short. I had assumed that 1.5 cups of whole almonds might be the same as about a cup of sliced, but not quite. Also, for the topping I mistakenly used the 1:1 stevia mix instead of straight stevia, so it was less sweet but still good. Then my wife tells me that she doesn't care for the orange extract. Darn, I have to eat the whole thing myself over the next week. :)
God bless you. Well appreciated.
Will see if I can replicate this.
I love this video ! .. being a yoyo diabetic I need this in my life and need to get into a new normal!! second video I seen and am so amused and educated alll at the same time ! Thank u God bless 😇 I can't wait to try this !
Thanks, Renee!
It is wonderful that you found this delicious looking dessert that is diabetic friendly and I was so happy to see that your numbers were still good after consuming this. I am also pre-diabetic and am always lookin for some good, diabetic friendly desserts. Has Benidicta tried this dessert? I can't imagine anyone not liking this. God bless you both.
Ur the best!!! Love the pizzas been eating them all week! I’m 43 trying to bring down this 7.8 A1C I really hope I can I’m down to 196 from 268 at my biggest! I gotta keep it low carb & keep my blood sugar low. I know I can do it u r a big inspiration!!!
You can do it!
You'll get there. To speed the job take some time off from food to, Interment fasting, or longer, I watch Dr Fung on TH-cam as well, between him and Dennis, made big health changes, and shed 65 lbs, since Jan 1, been nearly year now, A1C dropped from 9, down to 5.9
Yum...I'm making this for Christmas! Thank you and God bless!
My mouths watering!! Lol..... I can just imagine how delicious that cheesecake is!! Yummy!! 😁
Great recipe thanks!
That's great about your fasting blood sugar.
I love your old Tupperware measuring cup 😀
Dennis looks like a good way to unwind. I'll be trying this recipe.
Swerve is expensive. Anthony's brand erythritol on Amazon is less expensive. If you need powdered erythritol just throw some granulated erythritol in the coffee or spice grinder.
Also wanted to tell you that I found a perfect low carb pecan pie if your interested. Pricey, but it can be done once a year. :)
I made this tonight and it came out so good . I did switch pecans for the almonds and I used Lakanto sweetener .Thank you for the recipe.Happy Thanksgiving.
I love that show. And the cheesecake looks great too. Thank you
Very nice decoration on top. Dennis is getting to be quite an expert baker. :)
Great to see you again, very creative, enjoy your day
Dennis, wow wow wow! Can't wait to try this. Your chia pudding has become my everyday breakfast. Late breakfast of course. LOL. And we love making your tortilla Pizza. I have high hopes for this recipe. I'm glad you had a good trip and are both back safely. I have to take issue with one point in the video however. Poirot is the coolest detective on TV. I have put Foyle's War on my watchlist but I doubt he will hold the proverbial candle to Poirot. If you haven't watched you must. He is played by David Suchet. Love love love David Suchet. He came to Christianity as an adult and has a wonderful conversion story. Somewhat CS Lewis-like. If you're interested I can send you a link. Thanks again for another great video, and watch you some Poirot!
I do love Poirot, and have his entire series as well. But he comes in a close second to Foyle, IMO.
I agree Dennis you MUST watch Poirot.Hed priceless.You'll love him!
Very nice, Dennis. God Bless you, Both.
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Going to try it.
God bless you thanks for the recipe today I made the pumpkin pie low carb I used your recipe
Thank you mike can you make your full day of eating ? Thanks again
Probably will do that sometime.
Happy Thanksgiving ! God Bless !
Thanks!
My wife and I loved watching the Foyle's War series on Amazon. We are surely going to try that awesome looking dessert!
Foyle and the dessert - a great combination!
The best cheesecake ever thanks Dennis as always 👌👌👏👏
Haha...I think I will make on for Thanksgiving. Will use walnut crust, my favorite nut.
Looks like what God might have waiting for us when we get HOME. God Bless you and thanks for your mission trips .
Love the channel ❤️ you are a true inspiration for diabetes 🙏 I been cutting my carbs since watching your channel over a week ago and I had blood sugar levels above 200 daily.now a week later and cut out almost all carbs my blood sugar is around 150 and 160 only a week in to my low carb diet.thank you.
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this recipe I’ll be making this. I love deserts but all of them are so high in sugar 😎
You can lower the carbs by using pecans or hazelnuts, instead of almonds. Or use a cookie recipe for the crust.
I know what we’re having for Thanksgiving Dessert! Thank you
Tried the cheesecake. It's excellent. Thanks!
If you are only using stevia, you want to cut down on the amount you use, because it is much sweeter than erithritol, and unprocessed stevia can have a bit of a bitter aftertaste for at least some people. The amount of non-sugar sweetener you should use varies, depending on the type.
I make a no bake version.
To the Almond mix I usually add 85% chocolate, with the butter it usually solidifies the base.
I have gone as far as adding peanut butter to the mix - which makes it even yummier.
I use inulin, not cheap but very high in fibre.
As for cheese part, I usually use soft cream cheese or full fat / half fat curd cheese, sweetened to taste. No baking required, just place in the refrigerator.
Vanilla extract has been experimented with as well as adding mixed spice. The variations are endless. 😀
Looks Great,Definetly something i will have to make down the line
Hope you enjoy
Wonderful sugar results!!! Thank you for the recipe. 😊
Dennis, I agree that Swerve can be quite expensive. Especially if you use it when making low carb deserts for example.
So what I started doing was...rather than buy Swerve, I have a bag of erythritol and a small coffee grinder and grind the erythritol myself.
It saves a lot of money but swerve and erythritol are the same thing. I can also do that with monk fruit as well, etc.
Cute. Like Mike. Will make that cheesecake for Christmas dinner.
The real reason you are having the desert that late is so you can have that whole pie to yourself.:)
haahaa
😂
@ Dennis Pollock Was as the doctor's today. Fasting blood sugar was 74 mg /dl. HbA1C was 5.4 % Has been 5.4 % for 4 months now. I went to an Interfaith Thanksgiving service tonight. Have two small mandarin oranges and three small pieces of dark chocolate. Stayed clear of all the homemade hundreds of cookies and brownies. Blood sugar was 119 mg/dl, when I got home, which is a good number after fruit and dark chocolate. A non-scale win!
That's wonderful, James!
best channel on youtube thank you
Yummy 😋! "Mike the meter", hilarious! Thanks for the video. Loved it.. 😊👌
Dennis you must be related to Jackson Pollock with that design on the chocolate topping. p.s. I actually walked on to the set of Foyle's War when they were filming in Dublin, it was in Bull Alley St. beside St. Patrick's Cathedral, I have images of it.
Very cool!
Looks delicious!
It is!
Looks wonderful
I do refrain from the sweets. But this will be on my table Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cheesecake is the bomb. Happy Holidays to you and your Dennis.
Thanks for sharing more power!
Millets are a must try!
The ending gave me a good laugh. Thanks for the recipe, I'll give it a try. Looks really good. Do meters really talk????
I can't get Mike to shut up!
@@beatdiabetes3 🤣 I bet when your #'s are a lil high he's unstoppable!
Amen God is good! I will definitely try this recipe! Thank you and may God continue to bless you abundantly! 🙏🙂
This certainly looks fabulous! Thanks
