Was Type 2 diabetic. November 2020 started Keto diet, not for weight loss but for Health gain (considered weight loss a bonus). Added intermittent fasting and some prolonged fasting. Last A1C was this week, A1C was 4.4 and have lost a total of 45 pounds. From the beginning, no pharmaceuticals were used, and that’s freedom baby!
I use ACV one tblsp a day and I do intermittant fasting every day. I only eat one meal a day and in six month went from 240 lbs down to 212. Now I'm kissing 207!
Any veggies and do you eat beef which has high cholesterol - my numbers are high and I’ve been veggie for years. I found out mine was genetic as my dad was on statins.
@@melodyebuskin5490 carnivore diet means eating only animal products no plants. Also from what I have hear(new research) High cholesterol isn't that bad for you even LDL being high isn't too bad for you it just depends on if the LDL is being damaged by other thinks you eat(I think sugar was one of the things that damage it)
@@tigerspiritjourney yes, I’m seeing this more and more. And yet my husband was upped 20 to 40 mg statin by our Dr. I had side effects on 20mg and found out my high cholesterol is genetic. I’m now taking Luma Berberine 1,000mg per day and dr not happy. I’ll get tested in a few months.
I've been doing all of these and have lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, dropped my blood sugar from 213 to 110 or less typically. Only mornings I still have spikes. Great advice.
Green Tea and Apple Cider Vinegar lowers my mg/dl numbers. I exercise several times a week too and just started 48hr fasting every week. I’ve been intermittent fasting for years.
I reversed my diabetes with low carb ketogenic diet. Improved my insulin sensitivity. When I eat carbs now I notice on my CGM my glucose comes down to baseline in about an hour.
Thanks for your story as I needed to know if that would happen to me too. I am going to experiment what you wrote. I find fasting incredibly powerful in lowering my glucose.
@@carolpreved6055 you are absolutely correct. Fasting will definitely help your body to use up glucose and improve insulin sensitivity. If you take glucose lowering medication you will likely have to reduce your dosage so watch your glucose levels so you don’t over medicate. Don’t believe anyone who says diabetes is a chronic irreversible disease. You can absolutely reverse it and many other conditions by eating the right foods. It’s known that eight of the leading causes of death in America are fundamentally rooted in impaired glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Also know that carbs are not inherently bad for you, it’s the ultra processed carbs and sugar. Like the doctor stated, eat complex carbs. Stay away from fruits with high glycemic index. I stick with berries mainly.
I did a 7 day water only fast. Only with severe dehydration was my weight dropped. Drink water, back up. Day 8 showed not one pound lost. 10% of diabetics have rebound high blood sugar whenever it drops too low at night. We get those little black dots arround vision that say 'fainting fainting'. I was perfect on the water fast, no cheats. And never could fast again for some reason, by 12 hours terrible nausia, and losing consciousness symptoms. Not all bodies are the same.
@@charlanpennington3989did you make sure you properly hydrated with the water? Like adding salt and maybe taking magnesium so you get in your electrolytes. Just water if it’s not natural spring water is a bad idea.
On my 7 day, I did salt water fast with Light Grey , which is 20% better than Himalayan, which is 20% better than table salt. I had about 2 tall glasses of well water before I craved the salt water again.
I’ve tolerated drinking ACV on and off for years; lately I’ve been doing a high protein and high fat diet - after two weeks my taste buds changed and I could actually taste the apple in the ACV - it was like drinking sour apple juice and I liked it.
@@skinnydee1886 I eat red meat and butter…bacon and use bacon fat to cook my eggs in. I eat cheese too but and cutting back to eliminate that. You can eat fish too but I don’t because too much of it is contaminated with heavy metals or like Atlantic salmon that is all corn fed fish (fish farms) …fish eating corn SMH.
@@skinnydee1886 every body is different. I was a Vegan for several years and because of oxalate toxicity I became very sick and had several surgeries to remove large kidney stones, a hysterectomy, tumors on the bottom of my feet and I attribute this, but didn’t find out for several years later, to oxalates in the food I was consuming. I’ve done Keto and lost a great deal of weight ..I just don’t like seafood and rarely eat chicken because of the way they are grown with an 8 week turnaround death rate which makes the chicken stringy - I do eat eggs from a local farmer and the meat I consume is also locally grown. And because of the oxalates and damage done I have issues which are clearing up after several years with arthritis which kicks in time to time so I stay away from vegetables high in lectins as well. On occasion I will have romaine tossed in real olive oil, lemon and salt to taste. ..I might even have a few other veggies but for the most part I consume high protein. Almonds are extremely high in oxalates and you might be able to handle this a little better but most people cannot - checkout Sally K Norton and see what she has to say about oxalates. Thanks for sharing…
@@MaryOKC also cashews are really high in lectins if you were unaware. Don’t know if you eat them, but since you mentioned lectins in veg I thought I’d drop that info for you or maybe someone else who reads your comment. ❤️
@@aibell4800 no I don’t eat them although once in a while if my daughter has them I’ll have a couple…but no and anything almonds too…these are high in oxalates..
Thank you @lightfast1! I'm really happy to hear this is helpful for you! I will continue to provide more similar content. Don't forget to keep an eye on upcoming videos.
I’ve broken up my fitness into five minute very high intensity sessions throughout the day and that’s really helped as opposed to doing it all at once in 30 to 45 minutes
Yes! It all counts! I try to do the same on days I don't have time to workout. Everytime I go to the bathroom at work (single stall) I do a minute jumping jacks, squats or something to get my heart rate up. It make a difference in energy throughout the day!
Anyone who recommends the LCHF lifestyle deserves a thumbs up. Especially the ones with from the medical community. We certainly need more of those to correct the nutrition misinformation typically found.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. I did that for three months and it made me feel absolutely awful. Horrible cramps in my calves and really cranky. And kind of weird twinges in my liver area. I really think that it clogs up your liver over the long run it’s going to give you insulin resistance in the long run. Right now you’re feeling great because you don’t have any glucose spikes. Get some more vegetables into you.
@@betsyc6055 Hey. *Cramps- look into electrolytes. *NAFL is more associated with the intake of Carbs. *So is Insulin Resistance. *My eating pattern is no longer a diet for me. it's become a lifestyle. 2 meals a day. NO SNACKING. In built fasting periods. Low Carbs- Med Fats- High Protein. *I do eat veggies since you mentioned them. Do see a nutritionist is you what you are currently doing is not working for you.
I am a physician of over 40 years. Basically they should do a ketogenic diet. my elderly patients recover better when they do not worry about starches. I agree with most of your video. Great job.

Thank you for making these videos. I find your non-judgemental approach to treating diabetes makes my living with diabetes not so traumatic. Simple practical advice goes a long way to making life more enjoyable. Although my diet is less than perfect, I've learned through your videos that things don't always have to be perfect to be effective. I try to follow your advice along with that of my own doctor, and have my diabetes under control, and I try to live within limitations you provide. I am 73 years old and feel that I still have a life ahead of me. Thanks again.
I am a thin pre-diabetic and really can't afford to lose weight . People assume thin people don't have problems . I already eat healthily and exercise! Thank you for the videos.
Same here . But what made a huge difference was Chromium Picolinate supplement 200mcg (micrograms) very little. Take it everytime you eat . Great pancreas insulin regulator . Very inexpensive.
@@thomasengel1459 did u just recommend Apples and Mangoes for Diabetics? You are very ignorant. "Stop giving out terrible advice" - this applies to you directly
You're actually at a higher risk of your pancreas completely wearing out so you should avoid eating any fruits or grains at all. At least for a period of time to see if your body will bounce back. That's why you're thin. Insulin is a fat storing hormone and prediabetics usually have way too much but it just doesn't work such is why they tend to be fat. Type 1 diabetics and the thin prediabetics are the ones who don't produce the insulin they need which is why they're either losing weight or thin and can't afford too loose any.
Yes intermittent fasting, Exercise, lowering your carb/sugar intake and Table spoon of Apple cider ginger helps Alot. Still a shame we can't live a normal life without being so careful about Everything we drink or eat.
Thank the FDA and the food industry for decades of bad food (dangerous ingredients, pesticides/herbicides, etc) and bad information. Apparently the more “advanced” we get, the dumber we get (as a society). Or more nefarious agendas are afoot possibly, but that’s a matter of opinion.
Regardless of where you are on that journey everyone should have fasting INSULIN (not glucose) test done or C peptide and track insulin levels. This will show where your health really is in reality not theory vs how we do it in US where there’s “no issue” until you are diabetic. You want your insulin level to be 2-4. You won’t get flagged as diabetic until it’s over 25. That doesn’t mean we are not doing damage from decades of higher insulin. Just means we are doing it blindly. I thought I was super healthy freezing seasonal fruits to have year round smoothies. Yeah nope = non alcoholic fatty liver as fructose is terrible for our bodies.
@@genuineimpulse9134 I really appreciate your comment and I've never heard anybody put forward the numbers that you expressed in your post. I appreciate that very much! Where is an inexpensive place or means to get your fasting insulin levels done? The health fair that we have here and Wyoming doesn't cover or offer a fasting insulin reading, just a fasting blood sugar and A1c as far as diabetic concerns go. They offer plenty of other tests but not fasting insulin.
I have recently did a number of your suggestions and it does help. I have a lot more energy after only 2 weeks of making the changes. I’m still a work in progress but seeing how things are looking so much better motivate me to keep improving.
I have watched you often, but did not know you are an endocrinologist I have taken blood sugar medication for years. My A1c is 7. I asked my Dr. for a referral to an endocrinologist and she would not give me one. She said I don't need one. So, I will listen to you more often. I eat very well, no sweets, no snacking. I do fast, but I cannot lose weight. I am so exhausted. I feel that I have adrenal fatigue. I have started an adrenal supplement and Berberine.
Just recently I have found out that sugar and carbohydrates in general are among the most dangerous substances, although they do not look like that at first due to amazing ability of our bodies to stay in homeostasis like even some economies who can do despite bad processes going on. So, Since I started to watch my food and the way I absorb it I have started to improve physically and emotionally. Fasting, intermittent fasting, some exercise, positive thinking and possibly some meditation, good music and so on so forth, the results are coming and I feel lighter, more energetic and even some water tastes better. I had a simple turkey broth today and it made me feel so much healthier .I ate it with zero carbs. Although later I had a "healthy" drink with some sugar in it but I do not want to be absolute about anything. Still having said that I reduce sugar and other carbs knowing that this way improves my health and strength and good feeling all round. Healthy planet, healthy life, healthy people.
What worked for me was to cut dietary items one at a time. It was easy to sustain the changes because it was a gradual change. All cravings are gone. No more bread, pasta, rice, candy, ice cream, processed foods and others. I don’t miss them a bit. Feel great and getting more healthy everyday. And for the rare occasions I deviate from the plan, no problem either.
I've been doing that for four months. No sugar rice bread pasta bananas or beans. Nothing starchy. Sugar hides in alot of foods. It may be called fructose or sucrose. Stick to natural foods drink water and do what he says on here you'll be all set. Yes the sugar cravings go away
Portion size is a major problem in the western world. We always hear that the stomach is a fist-and-a-half in size (not exact, but a close enough for illustrative purposes). Look at what a fist and a half looks like and compare it to the size of your meal. You're not designed to eat a platter-full at one sitting, yet most of us do.
When I first moved back to the US in the 90’s I couldn’t believe the amount of food ppl piled on their plate at the salad bar and that wasn’t even their main meal!
Ceylon cinnamon is easily found in the Mexican spice section of the grocery store. Spanish label may say Canela molida for ground cinnamon. Easy way to include it in coffee: spoon cinnamon in with fresh coffee grounds, drip brew as usual through a brown paper filter.

So you are trying to claim that your cousin went from being full blown diabetic (blood glucose level measured over 213 at any random check) to not diabetic in a week. Hahahahaha, thats pretty funny
Yep! Agreed! Anyone who recommends the LCHF lifestyle deserves a thumbs up. Especially the ones with from the medical community. We certainly need more of those to correct the nutrition misinformation typically found.
I've been doing a mix of ketovore for 2 + years with intermittent fasting. In my mid 50's and feel great. Went from 22% body fat to average of 10% body fat. When people ask me how I do it and I tell them they just look at me like I'm crazy and speaking alien. Most normies are indifferent and won't accept it.
Ya well most people cant even correctly count calories let alone tell you accurately what their Body Fat % is. How are yu having it measured? let me guess, you aren't, you think you can estimate it accurately yourself, lol! 10% body fat isn't even considered healthy for someone in their 50's! Given that you think the intermittent fasting is in some way aiding this (hint, it isnt) I highly doubt you are accurate!
Easier if you learn to log everthing with a diet app, I use Cromometer as it list all essential vitamins and minerals that's in what you eat and also list the other sources, sometimes you have to take supplements as some are just to hard to get from food alone...
Thank you Dr. I have taken your advice and lost close to 50 lbs. I am trying to loose like 100 more and go in a bodybuilding show. And my diabetes I did not have to visit the doctor for 3 months. Thanks for your help. Louis Diamond.
After watching a few more vids I see I have been my worst enemy. Several steps I will do right away. 1st-try a plant based protein/too much beef. As a man who gym trains and trying to really get my weight way up, I see I need a much healthier way to do it. 2nd-STOP all diet sodas. 3rd-hydrate healthy-lemon water. with all the benefits of the lemon.4-def smaller portions/more meals. As I learn more , I will do much better. Thank you Dr.
About 10 yearscago when I moved to my present City, my new Dr. ran comprehensive blood work. I was a mess. Many different things were way off, one being i was insulin resistant. He recommended a course on diet. With a few changes, cutting way down on sugar, and carbs, being the standouts. Within 6 months the only thing that I hadn't got under control was good cholesterol. It wasnt that difficult. Mostly moderation.
Thanks for sharing this video and the great information about fasting. Your technique is very easy to understand. Also your voice sounds very nice and not judgmental. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏
I'm going to try some of the things you suggested. I've been hovering right at the edge for close to a decade on A1C tests, then last year in the fall, I went over - not horribly, but I was not happy. I spent the winter in the Philippines, since I retired last summer, and since my beloved is there - and when I came back my A1C was back below the line by quite a bit. So I think maybe it was the fish heavy diet, despite the white rice. We are waiting for his fiance' visa so he can join me here - but I will try to eat more fish and I will take cinnamon capsules while we wait. I prefer to be in good health both for myself and for him. Thank you Doctor. Your attitude is great. Kind thoughts and be blessed.
Tried that by not eating in morning until close to 12. Then I ate heavily and healthfully all afternoon and early evening. BUT I had very negative effect of losing weight, which I do not need to do! I had to start eating breakfast again to gain weight back. I’m an active 57 yr old man and exercise light to moderate. Bottom line is I can’t get the calories I need in only 8 hrs.
@@Gergm7991 u got all the cals That’s no problem The prob is ur insulin stayed low and so u activated ur fat stores to be used IF lowers insulin To maintain or gain, eat more often-same cals total but a constant influx will keep ur insulin up
Good day can you tell me what and how to do this please I am 31yrs old I was diagnosed at at 20 during my pregnancy and I am now on insulin and I am tired of injecting myself sigh.. your knowledge will be greatly appreciated
@@princessmundle100 absolutely, Princess! Start off by eating only 3 small meals per day. Make sure that it is high in good fats (coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, animal fat etc). Then slowly over the next week, start to squeeze these meals closer together by not going longer than 4 to 5 hrs between meals. Next comes the best part! Start to have your first high fat, medium protein, low carb breakfast early in the morning. Then, after another week, drop your 3rd meal of the day altogether. Then, over the following week or two, begin to have your 2nd (last!) meal of the day only 4 to 5 hours after your breakfast! This will give your digestive system a massive rest in order to kick in your parasympathetic nervous system and will ensure that you begin to tap into your fat reserves, especially in your mid section!! Make sure that you are eating absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER for 16 to 18 hours of the day, and you can easily reduce your insulin level dramatically over the following 2 months!!! You should then go to your doctor and check your insulin levels (not simply your blood glucose levels!) and ask them if it it okay to gradually reduce your insulin dosage. Before you know it, your dependency of insulin should be dramatically reduced and then (hopefully) eradicated altogether through the intermittent fasting you've been doing for the next few months!! But PLEASE REMEMBER... Make sure that you never go over 30 grams of carbohydrates per day, if not less! A zero carb diet will eventually be optimal for the absolute best results possible! But, remember to START Slow and gradually reduce your carb intake! Good luck with your lifestyle change, Princess!! BONUS : Do 20 minutes of walking 3x per week and some resistance weight training 2x per week for the absolute best outcome for your health, well-being and your future, but you can start to do this after getting through the first few weeks of beginning your diet!!!
Dr.Ergin you are the best and a wonderful professional, it's a pity that we don't have such a dedicated doctor in this country to help us. Anyway, your information helps us understand what is happening to us diabetics. Thank you very much for existing and taking the time to explain to us. God bless you and your family too.
I'd suggest cutting out all grains/breads/flours/tortillas/etc, all seed oils (soy/canola/corn/safflower/sunflower/grapeseed/etc, and almost all sugars. So, cut grains, seed oils, sugars. Then, you'll be eating ancestrally, eating the foods our bodies are evolved to process. Then you'll have improved health and probably greater longevity.
Thank you doctor. I have insulin resistance and this is so helpful. Lately I have been consuming more vegetables and fruit than anything and I can already feel the difference. ❤

Fruit has the fiber we need. Complex carbs are those without an ingredients label or one ingredient like oats, or corn or rice or potatoes or vegetable or fruit, etc. Yes, Sapiens evolved over 100k yrs eating mostly carbs.
@@dirtrider9268 Your deflection was not even good. This is talking about lowering your blood sugar and eating fruit will raise your blood sugar and is not complex carbs, Try again. You have no clue what sapiens ate to evolve lol.
@@dirtrider9268 You are absolutely clueless about what this video is about, it is about lowering your insulin meds for people with diabetes. It is very obvious you don't have diabetes.
I am a pre-diabetic. Tried this for several days, and my blood sugar went up by about 15 points. There were no changes in my diet or level of exercise during that week!
10% are rebound diabetics. Dropping too low, especially at night or between meals causes the spikes. Eating anything brings down the blood sugar. I'm this way. Trying to work out diet control.
on week 3 of keto. also walking and or 30 mins medium intensity exercise. works like a charm. 12 lbs in 18 days so far. my carb tolerance to both stay in mild to moderate ketosis is 20 grams per meal. I eat once or twice a day, as I have to lose 40 lbs more. my average blood sugar is 5.8, but i am getting readings before meals at 4.8 to 5.2. this is 3 points lower than last month. my whole problem was inactivity and stress from work. I retired, and focussing on my health. no need for anything else. my AIC was 7. it will be normal within 3 months. I've done this before, twice, and each time I went back to fat and IR/diabetes. this time I will stick to it for life. I"m 63, on HRT and energy is very low. getting old is the pits!
That's awesome just be careful with the rebound. Make sure you have a maintenance plan and exit strategy or you'll be setting yourself up for a terrible rebound.

I went carnivore, take cinnamon and apple cider vinegar. My bloodsugar hasn't been over 100 in months! My energy is level, brain fog is gone, libido is higher, and of course I've lost 45lbs. I'm happy that I discovered carnivore. Even eating whole grain bread or brown rice had my bloodsugar at 256 one morning. That day is the day I went carnivore and never looked back.
It’s so interesting how different people are. I couldn’t tolerate carnivore for more than two days. Too much meat gives me a stomach ache. Keto made me feel sick. Low-fat vegan works for me if it’s focus on Whole Foods and I just tried the glucose goddess method and that also works and it has a little bit better variety. Really interesting how we’re so different all of us
I second this. Serrapeptase is very strong too. I take Serrapeptase/Natto pill by itself in morning and another Nattokinase capsule at night. My BP is perfect now. 110 over 70. Used to be 150 over 90. Also feel very good and no need for lots of weird hunger issues
@@scottp6761 also lift glucose tablets second ingredient is Maltodextrin which is the nemesis of diabetes. I have also removed this from my diet which is very beneficial in controlling blood sugars
I need to figure out how to take my supplements while IF. I get sick if i take on empty stomach. Some supps i take eve and some in morn. Great informative video
Being a diabetic I cannot afford to buy certain foods.I eat what is available on my budget.Cannot afford your sugarmd suppliments so I drink water and mine my business.Thank you for your help though there's a lot of advice I can practice.
Dr, when I wake in the morning with something on my mind I tell myself I'll think about it in an hours time. When the hour has passed, like magic - the problem doesn't seem to exist.
I live salmon. Always happy to incorporate it into my meals. Sadly, all the salmon available in our area is farm raised. That is just too poor quality of a product to spend that kind of cash on. However, grass fed/finished beef, and pastured eggs are hood sources of the omega complexes. Additionally, pastured eggs have many of the trace minerals we need.

I kind of came at lowering the carbs from a different direction because just the thought of eliminating my carbs gave me the shakes so what I did was really increased my protein I'm not a big meat eater so I got the fairlife protein shakes 30 g / shake at a couple of those during the day plus whatever meat or other protein I had
Finally the doctor knows what my grandmother knew. The difference is she didn't go to any school...and next we will hear from them how to treat our health conditions with some herbs or essential oils what my grandmother knew a long time ago. Good thing is some of them are trying to share. For that Thank you
Why don´t you start with something simple like taking a walk after you eat. I eat pretty much everything carbs sweets and I have never had a weight issue or metabolic issue like diabetes or blood sugar issues. Simply by being active. It´s not because you will burn the calories you ate, but it will alter the way it gets metabolized which makes all the difference. Then another easy thing would be to implement fat into the meals. Which is what would satisfy.. just switching out what has a lot of sugar and replace it with some healthy fats.
@@BeStill66 When walking is an issue then yeah the best bet will be to cut out all processed stuff, and especially sugars and carbs, all these nutritionally empty foods. Initially its hardest as humans we are creatures of habit 😔 But give it some weeks and months and it’ll get easier as you get the hang of it. Also your gut biome will adjust so you wouldn’t crave all these foods anymore. At least less. All the best 🙏🏼
You are now my new Sugar Daddy, Oops meant ' Sugar Doctor' LOL ( Thanks for sharing, very good advice and yes most of it works for me for years now, especially the exercise, I try not to sit for more than 1 hour without some kind of getting up and moving.( unless sleeping of course)) Now that I am retired, my regular Doc wrote a prescription for me to walk 10,000 steps a day and yes it makes me feel even better.

Please answer my question thank you What if you have insulin resistance but do not have diabetes and never had diabetes in your whole life. I am 73. In my blood test in November fasting blood sugar was 93 and postprandial was 76. After eating my insulin drives the sugar down significantly. My blood test in July was only fasting blood sugar and it was 93 again. I have been tested for diabetes since I was 5 years old because I have Frolichs disease and was severely overweight. I weighed 125 pounds at 5. My mother kept having me tested for diabetes throughout my youth because of my weight and I never ever had high blood sugars in my entire life even now at 73. How do you deal with insulin resistance when you do not have diabetes
1. Low Carb diet
2. Apple cider Vinegar
3. Portion Control (smaller portions)
4. Eat slowly
5. Physical Activity
6. Ceylon cinnamon
7. Complex Carbs
8. Eat natural foods.
9. Intermittent Fasting
10. Increase soluble fibre intake
11. Green Tea.
12. White mulberry
13. Eat fatty fish

Thank you
Thanks

Been doing those for 5 years (except the cinnamon one and the mulberry one) but still have high blood insulin. The insulin is high after a 3 day fast.
Thank you! I can’t do the fatty fish but I can eat a bar of butter. LOL!!! 😂 which tastes like a lite Philadelphia cream cheese to me.

IF is the easiest way of losing weight. For me, I eat half a grapefruit per day and this makes me lose weight
28lbs in 6 months? Not bad
How many calories do you eat per day?
After each meal I walk 15 to 20 minutes. It really helps a lot.
Agree
Intermittent fasting, carnivore diet, and exercise is what has healed me.
Any veggies and do you eat beef which has high cholesterol - my numbers are high and I’ve been veggie for years. I found out mine was genetic as my dad was on statins.
@@melodyebuskin5490 carnivore diet means eating only animal products no plants. Also from what I have hear(new research) High cholesterol isn't that bad for you even LDL being high isn't too bad for you it just depends on if the LDL is being damaged by other thinks you eat(I think sugar was one of the things that damage it)
@@melodyebuskin5490 High cholesterol as a health risk has been debunked. High Triglycerides, insulin and blood glucose is the problem.
@@tigerspiritjourney yes, I’m seeing this more and more. And yet my husband was upped 20 to 40 mg statin by our Dr. I had side effects on 20mg and found out my high cholesterol is genetic. I’m now taking Luma Berberine 1,000mg per day and dr not happy. I’ll get tested in a few months.
How long doing and still? Any negative side effects ?
A real physician and an endocrinologist, how nice!
I've been doing all of these and have lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks, dropped my blood sugar from 213 to 110 or less typically. Only mornings I still have spikes. Great advice.
Drink some apple cider vinegar with water before sleep. Apparently it lowers blood sugar in the morning.
@@jd5787 that's interesting 🤔 will definitely give that a try ...thank you 🙋♀️❤
@@jd5787 thanks JD
Awesome. 20 in 2 weeks is amazing
Wow! Congrats on the weight loss and sugar numbers....keep up the good work!!
Green Tea and Apple Cider Vinegar lowers my mg/dl numbers. I exercise several times a week too and just started 48hr fasting every week. I’ve been intermittent fasting for years.
Do you have belly fat or love handles
Are you getting the results you desire?
Sounds miserable.
Can you take small amounts of long lasting insulin & also do intermittent fasting?
I reversed my diabetes with low carb ketogenic diet. Improved my insulin sensitivity. When I eat carbs now I notice on my CGM my glucose comes down to baseline in about an hour.
Thanks for your story as I needed to know if that would happen to me too. I am going to experiment what you wrote. I find fasting incredibly powerful in lowering my glucose.
Mine too
@@carolpreved6055 you are absolutely correct. Fasting will definitely help your body to use up glucose and improve insulin sensitivity. If you take glucose lowering medication you will likely have to reduce your dosage so watch your glucose levels so you don’t over medicate. Don’t believe anyone who says diabetes is a chronic irreversible disease. You can absolutely reverse it and many other conditions by eating the right foods. It’s known that eight of the leading causes of death in America are fundamentally rooted in impaired glucose metabolism and insulin resistance. Also know that carbs are not inherently bad for you, it’s the ultra processed carbs and sugar. Like the doctor stated, eat complex carbs. Stay away from fruits with high glycemic index. I stick with berries mainly.
9929kingfish,
Would you please let me know what meals you consumed in a day and at which time? Thank you 🙏
I so wo be happy to know exactly what your plans in eating please
Prolonged fasting is the key to EVERYTHING!! your body is not designed to eat all day...
I did a 7 day water only fast. Only with severe dehydration was my weight dropped. Drink water, back up. Day 8 showed not one pound lost. 10% of diabetics have rebound high blood sugar whenever it drops too low at night. We get those little black dots arround vision that say 'fainting fainting'. I was perfect on the water fast, no cheats. And never could fast again for some reason, by 12 hours terrible nausia, and losing consciousness symptoms. Not all bodies are the same.
You can do waterfast but you have to replace sodium pottasium and other electrolytes you pee out. Without them your body can't work right.
My hair started falling out so I quit the fasting.
@@charlanpennington3989did you make sure you properly hydrated with the water? Like adding salt and maybe taking magnesium so you get in your electrolytes. Just water if it’s not natural spring water is a bad idea.
On my 7 day, I did salt water fast with Light Grey , which is 20% better than Himalayan, which is 20% better than table salt. I had about 2 tall glasses of well water before I craved the salt water again.
I’ve tolerated drinking ACV on and off for years; lately I’ve been doing a high protein and high fat diet - after two weeks my taste buds changed and I could actually taste the apple in the ACV - it was like drinking sour apple juice and I liked it.
@@skinnydee1886 I eat red meat and butter…bacon and use bacon fat to cook my eggs in. I eat cheese too but and cutting back to eliminate that. You can eat fish too but I don’t because too much of it is contaminated with heavy metals or like Atlantic salmon that is all corn fed fish (fish farms) …fish eating corn SMH.
@@skinnydee1886 yes..I left a reply for you…if you don’t see it close the app and reopen.
@@skinnydee1886 every body is different. I was a Vegan for several years and because of oxalate toxicity I became very sick and had several surgeries to remove large kidney stones, a hysterectomy, tumors on the bottom of my feet and I attribute this, but didn’t find out for several years later, to oxalates in the food I was consuming. I’ve done Keto and lost a great deal of weight ..I just don’t like seafood and rarely eat chicken because of the way they are grown with an 8 week turnaround death rate which makes the chicken stringy - I do eat eggs from a local farmer and the meat I consume is also locally grown. And because of the oxalates and damage done I have issues which are clearing up after several years with arthritis which kicks in time to time so I stay away from vegetables high in lectins as well. On occasion I will have romaine tossed in real olive oil, lemon and salt to taste. ..I might even have a few other veggies but for the most part I consume high protein. Almonds are extremely high in oxalates and you might be able to handle this a little better but most people cannot - checkout Sally K Norton and see what she has to say about oxalates. Thanks for sharing…
@@MaryOKC also cashews are really high in lectins if you were unaware. Don’t know if you eat them, but since you mentioned lectins in veg I thought I’d drop that info for you or maybe someone else who reads your comment. ❤️
@@aibell4800 no I don’t eat them although once in a while if my daughter has them I’ll have a couple…but no and anything almonds too…these are high in oxalates..
Thank God a Doctor finally addressing insulin resistance. ❤
Thank you @lightfast1! I'm really happy to hear this is helpful for you! I will continue to provide more similar content. Don't forget to keep an eye on upcoming videos.
I’ve broken up my fitness into five minute very high intensity sessions throughout the day and that’s really helped as opposed to doing it all at once in 30 to 45 minutes
Yes! It all counts! I try to do the same on days I don't have time to workout. Everytime I go to the bathroom at work (single stall) I do a minute jumping jacks, squats or something to get my heart rate up. It make a difference in energy throughout the day!
What kind your sports fitness darling
Great idea
It's easier for some, maybe not for everyone. They've proven it's the total time spent - whether in one spurt or broken up in segments.
What type of exercises do you do?😊
I have had impressive success berberine and ceylon cinnamon. In fact I no long need insulin so far!
Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to this channel it's everything I need to know and do. Awesome video God bless you 🙏
Thank the person who actually created the video, not the imaginary font of your delusional beliefs.
AMEN
Amen ! Feeling blessed as well.
Anyone who recommends the LCHF lifestyle deserves a thumbs up. Especially the ones with from the medical community. We certainly need more of those to correct the nutrition misinformation typically found.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. I did that for three months and it made me feel absolutely awful. Horrible cramps in my calves and really cranky. And kind of weird twinges in my liver area. I really think that it clogs up your liver over the long run it’s going to give you insulin resistance in the long run. Right now you’re feeling great because you don’t have any glucose spikes. Get some more vegetables into you.
@@betsyc6055 Hey.
*Cramps- look into electrolytes.
*NAFL is more associated with the intake of Carbs.
*So is Insulin Resistance.
*My eating pattern is no longer a diet for me. it's become a lifestyle. 2 meals a day. NO SNACKING. In built fasting periods.
Low Carbs- Med Fats- High Protein.
*I do eat veggies since you mentioned them.
Do see a nutritionist is you what you are currently doing is not working for you.
dipping your veggies in chocolate wont work for anyone@@betsyc6055 5 weeks on keto, down 22lbs, more meat than veggies works for me.
I am a physician of over 40 years. Basically they should do a ketogenic diet. my elderly patients recover better when they do not worry about starches. I agree with most of your video. Great job.

Thank you for making these videos. I find your non-judgemental approach to treating diabetes makes my living with diabetes not so traumatic. Simple practical advice goes a long way to making life more enjoyable. Although my diet is less than perfect, I've learned through your videos that things don't always have to be perfect to be effective. I try to follow your advice along with that of my own doctor, and have my diabetes under control, and I try to live within limitations you provide. I am 73 years old and feel that I still have a life ahead of me. Thanks again.
That’s very nice to hear. Makes me happy that our efforts are helping people like you.
I so appreciate your videos
I am a thin pre-diabetic and really can't afford to lose weight . People assume thin people don't have problems . I already eat healthily and exercise! Thank you for the videos.
Same here . But what made a huge difference was Chromium Picolinate supplement 200mcg (micrograms) very little. Take it everytime you eat . Great pancreas insulin regulator . Very inexpensive.
How are your stress levels? That can play into your blood sugar numbers as well
@@thomasengel1459 apples are not natural anymore they are selected to taste like a sugar bomb and will spike your blood glucose
@@thomasengel1459 did u just recommend Apples and Mangoes for Diabetics? You are very ignorant.
"Stop giving out terrible advice" - this applies to you directly
You're actually at a higher risk of your pancreas completely wearing out so you should avoid eating any fruits or grains at all. At least for a period of time to see if your body will bounce back. That's why you're thin. Insulin is a fat storing hormone and prediabetics usually have way too much but it just doesn't work such is why they tend to be fat. Type 1 diabetics and the thin prediabetics are the ones who don't produce the insulin they need which is why they're either losing weight or thin and can't afford too loose any.
Yes intermittent fasting, Exercise, lowering your carb/sugar intake and Table spoon of Apple cider ginger helps Alot. Still a shame we can't live a normal life without being so careful about Everything we drink or eat.
Thank the FDA and the food industry for decades of bad food (dangerous ingredients, pesticides/herbicides, etc) and bad information. Apparently the more “advanced” we get, the dumber we get (as a society). Or more nefarious agendas are afoot possibly, but that’s a matter of opinion.
@@aibell4800 it's criminal.
I am an insulin-dependent diabetic and I commend you for this informational advice on contouring insulin resistance. ☺️
Great advice. I’m not diabetic but I’ve done this and kept weight off for years.
And you most likely prevented diabetes in the process!
Regardless of where you are on that journey everyone should have fasting INSULIN (not glucose) test done or C peptide and track insulin levels. This will show where your health really is in reality not theory vs how we do it in US where there’s “no issue” until you are diabetic. You want your insulin level to be 2-4. You won’t get flagged as diabetic until it’s over 25. That doesn’t mean we are not doing damage from decades of higher insulin. Just means we are doing it blindly. I thought I was super healthy freezing seasonal fruits to have year round smoothies. Yeah nope = non alcoholic fatty liver as fructose is terrible for our bodies.
@@genuineimpulse9134 I really appreciate your comment and I've never heard anybody put forward the numbers that you expressed in your post. I appreciate that very much! Where is an inexpensive place or means to get your fasting insulin levels done? The health fair that we have here and Wyoming doesn't cover or offer a fasting insulin reading, just a fasting blood sugar and A1c as far as diabetic concerns go. They offer plenty of other tests but not fasting insulin.
What have you done?
@@genuineimpulse9134so what do you do about your smoothies now?
I have recently did a number of your suggestions and it does help. I have a lot more energy after only 2 weeks of making the changes. I’m still a work in progress but seeing how things are looking so much better motivate me to keep improving.
Is there improvement?
I have watched you often, but did not know you are an endocrinologist I have taken blood sugar medication for years. My A1c is 7. I asked my Dr. for a referral to an endocrinologist and she would not give me one. She said I don't need one. So, I will listen to you more often. I eat very well, no sweets, no snacking. I do fast, but I cannot lose weight. I am so exhausted. I feel that I have adrenal fatigue. I have started an adrenal supplement and Berberine.
do you take metformin? It can make you feel exhausted
Did keto for 4 years. Cortisol levels elevated and thyroid crashed. Its dangerous. We really need balance of healthy carbs, protein, and healthy fats.
Just recently I have found out that sugar and carbohydrates in general are among the most dangerous substances, although they do not look like that at first due to amazing ability of our bodies to stay in homeostasis like even some economies who can do despite bad processes going on.
So, Since I started to watch my food and the way I absorb it I have started to improve physically and emotionally. Fasting, intermittent fasting, some exercise, positive thinking and possibly some meditation, good music and so on so forth, the results are coming and I feel lighter, more energetic and even some water tastes better. I had a simple turkey broth today and it made me feel so much healthier .I ate it with zero carbs. Although later I had a "healthy" drink with some sugar in it but I do not want to be absolute about anything. Still having said that I reduce sugar and other carbs knowing that this way improves my health and strength and good feeling all round. Healthy planet, healthy life, healthy people.
I love how blunt and honest your approach is!
What worked for me was to cut dietary items one at a time. It was easy to sustain the changes because it was a gradual change. All cravings are gone. No more bread, pasta, rice, candy, ice cream, processed foods and others. I don’t miss them a bit. Feel great and getting more healthy everyday. And for the rare occasions I deviate from the plan, no problem either.
I've been doing that for four months. No sugar rice bread pasta bananas or beans. Nothing starchy. Sugar hides in alot of foods. It may be called fructose or sucrose. Stick to natural foods drink water and do what he says on here you'll be all set. Yes the sugar cravings go away
@@SeaofMadness-lz6ig This doc talks about putting cinnamon on morning oatmeat but oatmeal is super glucose causing blood spikes.
This really helps me I'm a type 2 diabetic and I love these videos they truly help with my eating habits as well ❤😊
Keep up the good work
Slow down my eating and reduce going for seconds especially on higher carb meals. I need to remember these more often
Portion size is a major problem in the western world. We always hear that the stomach is a fist-and-a-half in size (not exact, but a close enough for illustrative purposes). Look at what a fist and a half looks like and compare it to the size of your meal. You're not designed to eat a platter-full at one sitting, yet most of us do.
When I first moved back to the US in the 90’s I couldn’t believe the amount of food ppl piled on their plate at the salad bar and that wasn’t even their main meal!
Portion size is problem on east-west,nort-south 😂
For my system, I was doing broccoli with salmon and with IF, I found I lost weight. Doc is right with the fatty fish it worked for me
Broccoli brought my blood sugar down 100 points when I was having trouble.
Dr. Ergin I honor you not only for helping people , but also for mentioning GOD word .
Ceylon cinnamon is easily found in the Mexican spice section of the grocery store. Spanish label may say Canela molida for ground cinnamon.
Easy way to include it in coffee: spoon cinnamon in with fresh coffee grounds, drip brew as usual through a brown paper filter.

Great job 👍.
I've been doing a mix of ketovore for 2 + years with intermittent fasting. In my mid 50's and feel great. Went from 22% body fat to average of 10% body fat. When people ask me how I do it and I tell them they just look at me like I'm crazy and speaking alien. Most normies are indifferent and won't accept it.
Curious, do you own an airplane?
Eliminated carbs. Less than 50 g a day
Ya well most people cant even correctly count calories let alone tell you accurately what their Body Fat % is. How are yu having it measured? let me guess, you aren't, you think you can estimate it accurately yourself, lol! 10% body fat isn't even considered healthy for someone in their 50's! Given that you think the intermittent fasting is in some way aiding this (hint, it isnt) I highly doubt you are accurate!
Easier if you learn to log everthing with a diet app, I use Cromometer as it list all essential vitamins and minerals that's in what you eat and also list the other sources, sometimes you have to take supplements as some are just to hard to get from food alone...
Great video Dr. I’ve been off my low carb program for 2 months. You have motivated me to get going again. Thank you so much.
I just totally eliminated all sugars and bread from my diet. Glucose went from averaging 118 to a steady 80.
Great job. Keep it up!
In how many months? And what other things you avoid?
Thank you Dr. I have taken your advice and lost close to 50 lbs. I am trying to loose like 100 more and go in a bodybuilding show. And my diabetes I did not have to visit the doctor for 3 months. Thanks for your help. Louis Diamond.
OMG! Thank you. I will start several things asap. Green tea. Smaller portions/more meals.
After watching a few more vids I see I have been my worst enemy. Several steps I will do right away. 1st-try a plant based protein/too much beef. As a man who gym trains and trying to really get my weight way up, I see I need a much healthier way to do it. 2nd-STOP all diet sodas. 3rd-hydrate healthy-lemon water. with all the benefits of the lemon.4-def smaller portions/more meals. As I learn more , I will do much better. Thank you Dr.
Best advice I have ever come across for lowering BP. Lists almost everything one can do to get fast results
Glad to hear that, @robertmiskey5502! Keep it up!
About 10 yearscago when I moved to my present City, my new Dr. ran comprehensive blood work. I was a mess. Many different things were way off, one being i was insulin resistant. He recommended a course on diet. With a few changes, cutting way down on sugar, and carbs, being the standouts. Within 6 months the only thing that I hadn't got under control was good cholesterol. It wasnt that difficult. Mostly moderation.
I started using acv and have had marvelous results! I can not agree more.
When do you take it and how often, please?
Thanks for sharing this video and the great information about fasting. Your technique is very easy to understand. Also your voice sounds very nice and not judgmental. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏
My complex carbs are veggies just started having no sugar tough times. Looking forward to being over sugar withdrawals

THEN WHY AREN'T BABIES WITH CANCER SURVIVING ?

I agree 🙏
Amen sister!
Praying for you
I fast 3 days a week and feeling much better.
I'm going to try some of the things you suggested. I've been hovering right at the edge for close to a decade on A1C tests, then last year in the fall, I went over - not horribly, but I was not happy. I spent the winter in the Philippines, since I retired last summer, and since my beloved is there - and when I came back my A1C was back below the line by quite a bit. So I think maybe it was the fish heavy diet, despite the white rice. We are waiting for his fiance' visa so he can join me here - but I will try to eat more fish and I will take cinnamon capsules while we wait. I prefer to be in good health both for myself and for him. Thank you Doctor. Your attitude is great. Kind thoughts and be blessed.
Thank you very much doctor. You are one of the best doctors who are changing the medical world. Wishing you all the best and success.
🤯 *The most powerful way of eliminating insulin resistance... INTERMITTENT FASTING!!!*
Tried that by not eating in morning until close to 12. Then I ate heavily and healthfully all afternoon and early evening. BUT I had very negative effect of losing weight, which I do not need to do! I had to start eating breakfast again to gain weight back. I’m an active 57 yr old man and exercise light to moderate. Bottom line is I can’t get the calories I need in only 8 hrs.
@@Gergm7991 well everyone has a different body and different needs and goals. Good luck and God bless!!
@@Gergm7991 u got all the cals
That’s no problem
The prob is ur insulin stayed low and so u activated ur fat stores to be used
IF lowers insulin
To maintain or gain, eat more often-same cals total but a constant influx will keep ur insulin up
Good day can you tell me what and how to do this please I am 31yrs old I was diagnosed at at 20 during my pregnancy and I am now on insulin and I am tired of injecting myself sigh.. your knowledge will be greatly appreciated
@@princessmundle100 absolutely, Princess! Start off by eating only 3 small meals per day. Make sure that it is high in good fats (coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, animal fat etc).
Then slowly over the next week, start to squeeze these meals closer together by not going longer than 4 to 5 hrs between meals.
Next comes the best part!
Start to have your first high fat, medium protein, low carb breakfast early in the morning.
Then, after another week, drop your 3rd meal of the day altogether.
Then, over the following week or two, begin to have your 2nd (last!) meal of the day only 4 to 5 hours after your breakfast!
This will give your digestive system a massive rest in order to kick in your parasympathetic nervous system and will ensure that you begin to tap into your fat reserves, especially in your mid section!!
Make sure that you are eating absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER for 16 to 18 hours of the day, and you can easily reduce your insulin level dramatically over the following 2 months!!!
You should then go to your doctor and check your insulin levels (not simply your blood glucose levels!) and ask them if it it okay to gradually reduce your insulin dosage.
Before you know it, your dependency of insulin should be dramatically reduced and then (hopefully) eradicated altogether through the intermittent fasting you've been doing for the next few months!!
But PLEASE REMEMBER... Make sure that you never go over 30 grams of carbohydrates per day, if not less!
A zero carb diet will eventually be optimal for the absolute best results possible!
But, remember to START Slow and gradually reduce your carb intake!
Good luck with your lifestyle change, Princess!!
BONUS : Do 20 minutes of walking 3x per week and some resistance weight training 2x per week for the absolute best outcome for your health, well-being and your future, but you can start to do this after getting through the first few weeks of beginning your diet!!!
First timer here, i came across your video in the feeds on YT, great video and information, I will be trying these options, Thank you
Dr.Ergin you are the best and a wonderful professional, it's a pity that we don't have such a dedicated doctor in this country to help us. Anyway, your information helps us understand what is happening to us diabetics. Thank you very much for existing and taking the time to explain to us. God bless you and your family too.
Well Said 🙏✝️🤛
I'd suggest cutting out all grains/breads/flours/tortillas/etc, all seed oils (soy/canola/corn/safflower/sunflower/grapeseed/etc, and almost all sugars.
So, cut grains, seed oils, sugars. Then, you'll be eating ancestrally, eating the foods our bodies are evolved to process.
Then you'll have improved health and probably greater longevity.
I have low carb bread or wholegrain, bread or sourdough. I don’t think I can totally cut out bread. I don’t have a lot though.
Weight watchers diet suggest to weigh your portions.
Thank you doctor. I have insulin resistance and this is so helpful. Lately I have been consuming more vegetables and fruit than anything and I can already feel the difference. ❤

on week 3 of keto. also walking and or 30 mins medium intensity exercise. works like a charm. 12 lbs in 18 days so far. my carb tolerance to both stay in mild to moderate ketosis is 20 grams per meal. I eat once or twice a day, as I have to lose 40 lbs more. my average blood sugar is 5.8, but i am getting readings before meals at 4.8 to 5.2. this is 3 points lower than last month. my whole problem was inactivity and stress from work. I retired, and focussing on my health. no need for anything else. my AIC was 7. it will be normal within 3 months. I've done this before, twice, and each time I went back to fat and IR/diabetes. this time I will stick to it for life. I"m 63, on HRT and energy is very low. getting old is the pits!
I’m there with you on all of the above.
Inactivity and stress from work. I’m there with you
That's awesome just be careful with the rebound. Make sure you have a maintenance plan and exit strategy or you'll be setting yourself up for a terrible rebound.
With a cgm I notice for a day following a good weight lifting workout, blood sugar is stabilized and no spikes or dips. Exercise is very important
Your videos are packed with important information and you clearly explain each concept.

That's great, @thomasbogardus7100! Keep up the good work and keep us updated on your progress. Stay healthy!
I went carnivore, take cinnamon and apple cider vinegar. My bloodsugar hasn't been over 100 in months! My energy is level, brain fog is gone, libido is higher, and of course I've lost 45lbs. I'm happy that I discovered carnivore. Even eating whole grain bread or brown rice had my bloodsugar at 256 one morning. That day is the day I went carnivore and never looked back.
It’s so interesting how different people are. I couldn’t tolerate carnivore for more than two days. Too much meat gives me a stomach ache. Keto made me feel sick. Low-fat vegan works for me if it’s focus on Whole Foods and I just tried the glucose goddess method and that also works and it has a little bit better variety.

Dr, when I wake in the morning with something on my mind I tell myself I'll think about it in an hours time. When the hour has passed, like magic - the problem doesn't seem to exist.
Dear doctor, please answer questions. Thank you
My fasting glucose has risen from 116 mg/DL to 119 mg/DL right now I will follow all these steps to get it to below 100 mg/DL
I live salmon. Always happy to incorporate it into my meals. Sadly, all the salmon available in our area is farm raised. That is just too poor quality of a product to spend that kind of cash on.
However, grass fed/finished beef, and pastured eggs are hood sources of the omega complexes. Additionally, pastured eggs have many of the trace minerals we need.
Aah So nice and easy to follow , little stepping stones onto a healthy happier path...Thankyou for showing us the way .❤

I kind of came at lowering the carbs from a different direction because just the thought of eliminating my carbs gave me the shakes so what I did was really increased my protein I'm not a big meat eater so I got the fairlife protein shakes 30 g / shake at a couple of those during the day plus whatever meat or other protein I had
Finally the doctor knows what my grandmother knew. The difference is she didn't go to any school...and next we will hear from them how to treat our health conditions with some herbs or essential oils what my grandmother knew a long time ago. Good thing is some of them are trying to share. For that Thank you
The part I struggle with in all this and I do most is meal satisfaction.
U know what they say.... practice makes perfect...... keep trying small steps you will soon be a pro
Why don´t you start with something simple like taking a walk after you eat. I eat pretty much everything carbs sweets and I have never had a weight issue or metabolic issue like diabetes or blood sugar issues. Simply by being active. It´s not because you will burn the calories you ate, but it will alter the way it gets metabolized which makes all the difference. Then another easy thing would be to implement fat into the meals. Which is what would satisfy.. just switching out what has a lot of sugar and replace it with some healthy fats.
@@IloveCamels335 I try but my health limits my ability to walk.
@@BeStill66 When walking is an issue then yeah the best bet will be to cut out all processed stuff, and especially sugars and carbs, all these nutritionally empty foods. Initially its hardest as humans we are creatures of habit 😔 But give it some weeks and months and it’ll get easier as you get the hang of it. Also your gut biome will adjust so you wouldn’t crave all these foods anymore. At least less. All the best 🙏🏼
@@IloveCamels335 🙏💯
Thanks for sharing your topics 😊❤
My pleasure 😊
You are now my new Sugar Daddy, Oops meant ' Sugar Doctor' LOL ( Thanks for sharing, very good advice and yes most of it works for me for years now, especially the exercise, I try not to sit for more than 1 hour without some kind of getting up and moving.( unless sleeping of course)) Now that I am retired, my regular Doc wrote a prescription for me to walk 10,000 steps a day and yes it makes me feel even better. Thanks Doc.
Thanks for the video Doctor.👍
Ur health videos was helpful; that i was able to help a friend who has type 2 diabetes.
Continue posting ur video's, because it really interesting and helpful to people. Thanks for sharing.💕 I pray that God continue to blessed u with more wisdom, and knowledge in order to help others.
When you cut back on carbs, you will also be less hungry. This automatically helps portion control. Especially if you eat healthy fats.

Please answer my question thank you
What if you have insulin resistance but do not have diabetes and never had diabetes in your whole life. I am 73. In my blood test in November fasting blood sugar was 93 and postprandial was 76. After eating my insulin drives the sugar down significantly. My blood test in July was only fasting blood sugar and it was 93 again. I have been tested for diabetes since I was 5 years old because I have Frolichs disease and was severely overweight. I weighed 125 pounds at 5. My mother kept having me tested for diabetes throughout my youth because of my weight and I never ever had high blood sugars in my entire life even now at 73. How do you deal with insulin resistance when you do not have diabetes
For this one I watch it more than four times
I have lost 45 pounds on keto. My only snacks dill pickles raw carrot sticks celery and black coffee.❤
