Plant based diet made mine and my sister’s diabetes worse with blood sugars between 200 and 400. The only eating plan which keeps our blood sugar under 100 is keto/carnivore with an injection of some leafy greens. For us, non-fiber carbs have been thrown out the window. Bread, pasta, rice and potatoes were detrimental to our health. Here’s an example: in fall of 2019, we began a keto diet and lost 70 lbs or more and brought blood sugar under control. In January 2021, we decided to go plant based and as of February 2022, we were both close to 30 lbs heavier with erratic blood sugars and A1C at 9.3. We went back on Keto/carnivore beginning March 2022 and the extra weight is coming off and A1C is down to 5.7. We absolutely cannot eat carbs unless they are mostly fiber.
Going plant-based isn't a license to eat all the pasta rice and potatoes that we can get her hands on. You still want to limit your carbs especially at the beginning and monitor blood glucose levels.
Unfortunately, keto diets eventually end up in insulin resistance, unless you are running marathons everyday. Additionally, all that animal protein and fat will increase cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune disease, etc. Facts.

This is the best video that discusses c-peptide and antibodies. I wish all doctorsors would just get this c peptide and antibodies test done so they can better treat their patients. Instead, i have to ask my doctor for these tests. It just boggles my mind why these tests aren’t part of a regular check on diabetic patients.
I have type 2 diabetes. My Dr. has my C-Peptide checked with other labwork. Thanks for all this great information explaining C-Peptide, it was very helpful.
You guys have seriously changed my life. I was having issues at night that caused my doctor to order a c-peptide test and found out I have insulin resistance (c-peptide was 4.5) this video explained what this means SO WELL! I could never really understand what exactly this meant and when I went a few weeks ago and was told I should begin regularly checking my sugar and that’s when I found you guys.

After seven years of being diagnosed with type 1, taken only long acting insulin (20 units) my a1c was never above 6 except at initial diagnosis. Now after I watched your video and talked to my doctor I got my results back with 2.1 c peptide, and all antibodies were negative. I will start oral meds this week and hopefully with exercise and low fat diet I hope I will live free from them damn hurtful shuts 😢.

Why low fat diet reverse the type 2 diabetes??? Then you have to replace it with carbs that a major driver of t2 diabetes. The only way to reverse t2 diabetes is high fat very low carb, moderate protein combined with intermittent fasting.
@@rjrnj1 Watch Mastering Diabetes´ videos and read on the website and maybe you can learn why a high fat low carb diet is not curing the cause, just removes symptoms but increases insuline resistance.

Dang. Having diabetic labs done tomorrow (including C-peptide) because of symptoms I suspect are diabetes. I also have a very strong family history for diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, and I am lean, so I would suspect LADA. Not what I wanted to know.

Mastering Diabetes I developed Neuroendocrine Cancer in my 20’s but it was miss diagnosed until last year 2017 ( I was 47) my dominate tumor was in my pancreas( PNet, same cancer Steve Jobs and Aretha Franklin has) During that 20+ years the cancer ate up and used up my pancreas. All that time Drs said I was type 2 and never believed me that nothing they gave me was working. They only saw my body size but thank goodness I ate so well and took care of myself that I am alive today. Sadly because of the strain on my body I have Lupus on top of cancer, t3c diabetes, Hypothyroidism, and a very long list of other conditions. If I had know what test to ask for I would be in better shape today. Now what little bit of a pancreas left, I have to take insulin and Creon. I also no long make glucagon so it is very scary if my sugar drops in my sleep because I have no way to recover unless I eat. I just take each day as the gift it is and celebrate life with family, friends, and real food 💜
The only thing : the amount of protein and another nutrients must be adjusted to personal demand . And low fat , depend of the fats … This video is older than the last studies about the discussion of the paradigma of saturated fat and Iwe would recommend also flexitarian diet to offer all important nutrients making diet complete and balanced. Again , five years ago the concept and studies about Mediterranean and Flexitarian was not yet so popular as today . We cannot forget the importance to adjust nutrients to brain and immune system, specially essential fats and all aas to reach them. Each person has personal requirements. The presence of another diseases can dictate also additional adjustments in terms of macro and micronutrients. Diabetes is quite serious. All nutrients are demanded.
Great explanation, helped me make sense of things. I'm a little different from the chart though, I have a fasting c-peptide of 0.5 with multiple anti-bodies and I don't need insulin. I do a low carb version of the whole food plant based diet, so my insulin resistence is low and I don't spike after a meal from carb intake. Have been this way for 2 years.
Yes most of the video, My father is diabetic, I have been searching for info in diferent parts, my father doesn't use insuline but we use chlorine dioxide or mms that controlls the levels of sugar, also I recommend you to look some info about dr sebi and sea water properties that is the most complete food in the world since contains all minerals an many more.

Hello. I just reveived the following results from a test to understand if I have any Diabetes predisposition or risk: - Fasting Glucose: 90 mg/dL - A1c 5,44% - Insuline 3,07 uUI/ml - C Telopeptide 0,829 ng/ml - Glucose Pre/Post Pandrial Pre:89 Post 72 What does C Telopeptide result means? Do you think I have any risk of LADA? I am doing all these tests because in January I got a 105mg/dL fasting glucose result.
My 7YO was diagnosed type 1 this year. He will eat all the fruits but isn't a big veggie fan for the most part. We currently eat a paleo diet, so he gets a lot of veggies but he's not a big fan. His most recent A1C was 6.2, he was over 11 at diagnosis and in diabeticketo acidosis. I have no idea if these tests were run on him but I'll be looking into it. Thank you for all of this information!

I don’t understand that chart at the end. It says that for the Negative Antibody Test row, any level of C-Peptide indicates some form of Type 2 diabetes?
My understanding is that this chart applies after you have been diagnosed with diabetes (say, based on high blood sugars and/or A1c) and you want to determine the type of diabetes you have
I’m at a loss. I know I have a blood sugar problem but all my tests look good. CPeptide is 1.8, A1C is 5.5, Glucose 88. Every time I eat something sweet even fruits I feel like I’m going to die, I get dizzy, sometimes I faint, I shake, my mind gets cloudy. I need help!!! I’ve suffered from this since a child and I’m near 40. I’m tired of battling with this :(
I have a similar problem. I've gotten my C-peptide checked three times of the last few years. It's been as low as .8, still within normal but on the low end. However, most recently, it was 1.39. I've never had an A1C over 4.9, and my fasting blood sugar is 88 as well. Have you figured out your problem? Some things that have worked for me are: Implementing Ray Peat's principles of eating - boosting thyroid health. I also think my problem might be mild insulin resistance, not a problem with insulin production/T1D. Would love to hear what you've been able to learn.
I will absolutely do a C-Peptide test ASAP as I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for the past 4 years .. But can you please spell out exactly the other test you mention ? Is it "eyelet" antibody test or "islet" antibody test ? Or spelled out different all together ? I would very much appreciate you help .. Thank you
In a situation where I have been identified as having insulin resistance, but no elevated blood glucose and no elevated A1c, but having weight gain, to the point where it isn't even being called PRE-diabetes, do these references still apply? I only have 1 C-Peptide result, but I have the Fasting Insulin, Fasting Glucose, and Fasting A1c tests from the same timeframe. I'm trying to determine if I need to dig into this further. I don't remember those particular antibodies tests, but I've had SO MANY of those that I couldn't even be certain anymore...
My homa ir report Insulin,fasting serum - 2.7 uU/ml Beta cell fxn - 39% Insulin sensitivity. - 256% Hona IR index. -0.39 My c-peptide test on another day didn,t di my fasting glucose C-peptide 0.56 I eat approx 120 carb a day. Am I type 1.5? I don't take medicine
My C-Peptide is 1,26 but i still have BG 170+ in morning with drastic food regime (no pills or insulin) , some fasting and carb free meals( i do also a lot of sport). Still i not happy about my BG because not down more than 170 ml/dl ! (some months ago BG was ok ... 120-135 ).
The only thing you missed was insulinopenia, which may be more common than you think. It is low insulin without antibodies, and may not include insulin resistance.
i have had a c-peptide of 1-1.3 over the past 10 years. I take metformin 500mg ER bid. I had high GAD-65 autoantibodies. I have an HBA1c of 5.8-6.0 I've had diabetes for 20 years. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Should I absolutely be on some sort of insulin? I have fasting sugars in the 85-95 level but will spike after starchy items whether fruits,sweet potatoes,bread,etc. I walk a lot. I am 70, 5'9", 145 lbs and believe I am insulin sensitive but just don't produce enough insulin to control those types of foods.
Hello is it possible to still have diabetes even though A1C has been good 5.0 for last 4 blood tests and the current one . I’m wondering if I have it be a use of having many symptoms . I’m going to order a C peo fide test . Or should I not bother if aic is so good ? Thanks
@@MasteringDiabetes But, Healthline and WebMD says the normal range is 0.5 - 2.0 ng/ml. Why does the Mastering Diabetes program consider less than 1.0 as low?
A combination of high fat and moderate protein with veggies saved me from T2D. I avoid omega-6 rich oils and flavour. I prefer clarified butter and olive oil as a source of fat.
I have self diagnosed insulinopenia, and my c-peptide number does back it up. I have no autoimmune antibodies., but I am not insulin resistant at all. I think the antibody question is a red herring, and causes people like me to be left in the wilderness to die. I saved myself from starvation by getting on insulin, after 6 MD's had told me there was nothing wrong with my insulin. I think what you are presenting here is quite good, but all the doctors in main stream medicine aren't even interested in insulin, and think that glucose is all that matters. That will never change because this information has been around for at least 50 years, and doctors just don't grasp any of it. They are happy with the symptom/drug approach, and don't know anything about the metabolism. I do think that educating us sick people is a good thing to do, and our only hope is to find a good naturopath or functional med doctor, but they are almost non-existent in most places, and usually they don't take Medicare, which means we pay out of pocket, but it is actually cheaper in the long run that going to main stream doctors, who will kill you slowly, and with a lot of expensive drugs.
How you doing man? I have also self diagnosed myself insulinopeniac, my c pep test reads 9.7. I have regularly monitored my blood glucose my fbg is normal always less than 100 but random glucose sometimes go up as high as 200 if I eat high carb diet. Can I talk to yo privately over Skype or any other app?
I am normal weight, active, walk an hr a day, eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, no processed foods, but my FBS have been 99-100, A1C 5.9, 6.1, C peptide 0.9, negative for antibodies, insulin fasting 3.3. What can I do to improve my A1C, increase my C peptide level and help my beta cells function better? Thanks for your help.
My c peptide was .66 with a fasting glucose of 90. My issue is hypoglycemia I did 3 hr ogtt and had normal results until the third hour with a glucose level of 34. Still no answers on what is going on
Robby, at around 14 minutes in, Cyrus starts going through the reference range for "Stimulated C-Peptide." On the first two measurements, he denotes, "Stimulated C-Peptide," then on the last one - 4+ ng/ml - he says, "fasting C-peptide." Did he misspeak here? Was he intending to say, "Stimulated C-peptide," again? Please advise, because a fasting C-peptide of 4+ is pretty high.
Is there anyway I can obtain a image or copy of your c-peptide / autoantibody chart that is shown towards the end please? I’m getting my c-peptide, GAD-65, IA2 and insulin autoantibodies thru a private self pay company tomorrow. Thank you in advance!
What is a medium c-peptide value and what is high. Fasting my BG was 99, A1C 5.6 and c-peptide 4.3. The lab range is up to 4.4 which I think confirms my insulin resistance. But boy is it hard to get anything like a straight answer from my doctor or even the web. One wonders what c-peptide should be for a normally insulin sensitive person with BG of 99?
Can you guys do a video on Triglycerides and maybe HDL? My Cholestrel dropped 25 points, LDL dropped 10 points and my A1C dropped from 7.1 to 5.4 after going plant based for 3 weeks. Its just my HDL fell from 50 to 33 and my Triglycerides increased from 170 to 232. I've seen a lot of people who have high Triglycerides from doing a high carb low fat vegan diet. Thanks!
I was diagnosed as autoimmune Type 1 after rapid onset and hospitalization seven years ago. Last week I had bloodwork done, and my C-Peptide level is 0.27 ng/ml. Does this mean that I am still producing a tiny amount of insulin on my own? How is it possible to be producing any insulin at all at this point?
I thought that low carb diet is recommended for fixing insulin resistance, but these guys suggesting low fat plant based diet, not sure which one is correct
I have been searching for this explanation of if my pancreas is still making insulin or not. THANK YOU THANK YOU This video by far one of the most valuable videos I have watched since I have been following the Ketogenic lifestyle for 6 months with very low progress. I have gone from injecting 150 units of Lantus to 40 units today. My numbers are above 100 so I know i am not where i need to be but i am leaning on the less insulin side to lose weight. As losing weight will help with insulin resistance. Diabetics are just not being treated correctly. The lack of knowledge out among the general public is insufficiant. When people are eating what they want and going for blood work the dr perscribes insulin at the blink of an eye. He wants A1C down. The c-peptide test has never been done for me. I will will be paying for my own c-peptide. We pay thousands of $ to insurance co. One c-peptide test was denied be my primary care. Sorry this is unacceptable. Sorry for the long post.
I am not sure if this question had been answered before, in the table @ 20:10 Low, medium and high C peptide are all Type 2 Diabetes regardless of whether they test positive or negative to antibodies? What is a normal fasting C peptide for a healthy human who is not type2 diabetes?
My cpeptide 0.62 all antibodies test negetive .which type of diabetic i am.right now i am taking 12 unit tresiba and glycomet tab.but sugar are not well controlled

Why low fat diet reverse the type 2 diabetes??? Then you have to replace it with carbs that a major driver of t2 diabetes. The only way to reverse t2 diabetes is high fat very low carb, moderate protein combined with intermittent fasting.
That diet does not cure diabetes or insulin resistance. It just avoids it and makes it worse in the long run.
@@HelenWLee You're absolutely wrong.
@@rjrnj1 Watch Mastering Diabetes´ videos and read on the website and maybe you can learn why a high fat low carb diet is not curing the cause, just removes symptoms but increases insuline resistance.
@@HelenWLee I was vegetarian, then vegan, for years. I apologize to my body almost daily .
Watch Dr. Cywes, Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Noakes, David Diamond, Iver Cummings, Dr. Eric Berg, then we'll talk.
But I won't discuss this of you can't provide scientific proof. I can.
@@rjrnj1 You are on a channel that provides scientific evidence against all that you claim. Are you in the wrong place? Are you here to argue without taking part of what is said on this channel? If you´re body was failing on vegan diet, yo did it wrong. It is possible to fail on any diet if you don´t eat the optimal way for your health and needs. I advice you to watch the videos of Mastering Diabetes, their website and read the book. All your scientiic needs will be fulfilled. After you have done that, you can talk. And yes, I have read and watched all those that you mention and was mislead for some time by them and others.
I'm on diabetic medication. Please advice how long do I need to stop taking the diabetic medicine before I do the c peptic test. Metformin and statin had been prescribed.
what is the correct reference range for C-peptide test , some tell reference ranges to be 0.79-1.89 ng/dL and some say it is 0.48 to 5.05 ng/dL ? which one is correct ?
Here is a great article to learn more about how to interperet your c-peptide: www.masteringdiabetes.org/c-peptide-diabetes-test/#t-1643260428548
Excellent. Is these tests are only offered for the USA patients living in the USA?
How much does this test? Thanks
After listening to your video , lm wondering if l ever have been tested ..?
How can l find my 1.5 diagnoses test on my lab work ? I had always taken the docs word for it , now l want to go back in my labs and look for these tests ? How do l find them ?
Dang. Having diabetic labs done tomorrow (including C-peptide) because of symptoms I suspect are diabetes. I also have a very strong family history for diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, and I am lean, so I would suspect LADA. Not what I wanted to know. But, that's all supposition until I get my results back. Thank you much for this excellent informative video.

What great information, wish I would have know this years ago!
Mastering Diabetes I developed Neuroendocrine Cancer in my 20’s but it was miss diagnosed until last year 2017 ( I was 47) my dominate tumor was in my pancreas( PNet, same cancer Steve Jobs and Aretha Franklin has) During that 20+ years the cancer ate up and used up my pancreas. All that time Drs said I was type 2 and never believed me that nothing they gave me was working. They only saw my body size but thank goodness I ate so well and took care of myself that I am alive today. Sadly because of the strain on my body I have Lupus on top of cancer, t3c diabetes, Hypothyroidism, and a very long list of other conditions. If I had know what test to ask for I would be in better shape today. Now what little bit of a pancreas left, I have to take insulin and Creon. I also no long make glucagon so it is very scary if my sugar drops in my sleep because I have no way to recover unless I eat. I just take each day as the gift it is and celebrate life with family, friends, and real food 💜

The only thing : the amount of protein and another nutrients must be adjusted to personal demand . And low fat , depend of the fats … This video is older than the last studies about the discussion of the paradigma of saturated fat and Iwe would recommend also flexitarian diet to offer all important nutrients making diet complete and balanced. Again , five years ago the concept and studies about Mediterranean and Flexitarian was not yet so popular as today . We cannot forget the importance to adjust nutrients to brain and immune system, specially essential fats and all aas to reach them.
Each person has personal requirements. The presence of another diseases can dictate also additional adjustments in terms of macro and micronutrients.
Diabetes is quite serious. All nutrients are demanded.
Great explanation, helped me make sense of things.
I'm a little different from the chart though, I have a fasting c-peptide of 0.5 with multiple anti-bodies and I don't need insulin. I do a low carb version of the whole food plant based diet, so my insulin resistence is low and I don't spike after a meal from carb intake. Have been this way for 2 years.
Graeham yes this is my question, if i eat very low carb will the CPeptide not automatically be extra low when I test 🤔
What mean low carb for you?
@@contrarian717did you get an answer to this?
@@Zqosh no. But I didn't chase this further anyway. My fasting insulin and A1c is fine, I eat non spikey food. I feel good.And I leave it at that.
This is very good information.
Yes most of the video, My father is diabetic, I have been searching for info in diferent parts, my father doesn't use insuline but we use chlorine dioxide or mms that controlls the levels of sugar, also I recommend you to look some info about dr sebi and sea water properties that is the most complete food in the world since contains all minerals an many more.
I have had about 6 blood tests for cholesterol diabetes blood pressure but I believe with a plant based nutrition things will change FAST

God bless you
Hello , l was diagnosed with LADA in 2014,, but l don’t see c peptide results , no where .. where can l find it in my lab results ? Thank you
Outside of knowing my glucose
What is the best time to eat roti?
Thank you so much, and I was unaware of this test( C-Peptide). GOD BLESS.
Hello. I just reveived the following results from a test to understand if I have any Diabetes predisposition or risk:
- Fasting Glucose: 90 mg/dL
- A1c 5,44%
- Insuline 3,07 uUI/ml
- C Telopeptide 0,829 ng/ml
- Glucose Pre/Post Pandrial Pre:89 Post 72
What does C Telopeptide result means? Do you think I have any risk of LADA? I am doing all these tests because in January I got a 105mg/dL fasting glucose result.
Your knowledge is brilliant! Concisely explained. Thanks so much for your work!
One of best 👍
How about MODY type ?
Awesome information Robby! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Cyrus and Roby what can you say about my I got today it is 2.59
My 7YO was diagnosed type 1 this year. He will eat all the fruits but isn't a big veggie fan for the most part. We currently eat a paleo diet, so he gets a lot of veggies but he's not a big fan. His most recent A1C was 6.2, he was over 11 at diagnosis and in diabeticketo acidosis. I have no idea if these tests were run on him but I'll be looking into it. Thank you for all of this information!

I don’t understand that chart at the end. It says that for the Negative Antibody Test row, any level of C-Peptide indicates some form of Type 2 diabetes?
My understanding is that this chart applies after you have been diagnosed with diabetes (say, based on high blood sugars and/or A1c) and you want to determine the type of diabetes you have
Good job guys...Thank you
I need test this video.
I found the C-peptide test on requestatest. Which test(s) are needed for the antibodies inslets?
I’m at a loss. I know I have a blood sugar problem but all my tests look good. CPeptide is 1.8, A1C is 5.5, Glucose 88. Every time I eat something sweet even fruits I feel like I’m going to die, I get dizzy, sometimes I faint, I shake, my mind gets cloudy. I need help!!! I’ve suffered from this since a child and I’m near 40. I’m tired of battling with this :(
Get your thyroid checked
I have a similar problem. I've gotten my C-peptide checked three times of the last few years. It's been as low as .8, still within normal but on the low end. However, most recently, it was 1.39. I've never had an A1C over 4.9, and my fasting blood sugar is 88 as well. Have you figured out your problem?
Some things that have worked for me are: Implementing Ray Peat's principles of eating - boosting thyroid health.
I also think my problem might be mild insulin resistance, not a problem with insulin production/T1D. Would love to hear what you've been able to learn.
I will absolutely do a C-Peptide test ASAP as I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for the past 4 years .. But can you please spell out exactly the other test you mention ? Is it "eyelet" antibody test or "islet" antibody test ? Or spelled out different all together ? I would very much appreciate you help ..
Thank you
Ask for the GADA test along with C-Peptide.
In a situation where I have been identified as having insulin resistance, but no elevated blood glucose and no elevated A1c, but having weight gain, to the point where it isn't even being called PRE-diabetes, do these references still apply? I only have 1 C-Peptide result, but I have the Fasting Insulin, Fasting Glucose, and Fasting A1c tests from the same timeframe. I'm trying to determine if I need to dig into this further. I don't remember those particular antibodies tests, but I've had SO MANY of those that I couldn't even be certain anymore...
My homa ir report
Insulin,fasting serum - 2.7 uU/ml
Beta cell fxn - 39%
Insulin sensitivity. - 256%
Hona IR index. -0.39
My c-peptide test on another day didn,t di my fasting glucose
C-peptide 0.56
I eat approx 120 carb a day. Am I type 1.5? I don't take medicine
Nicely explained, great job!👍
My C-Peptide is 1,26 but i still have BG 170+ in morning with drastic food regime (no pills or insulin) , some fasting and carb free meals( i do also a lot of sport).
Still i not happy about my BG because not down more than 170 ml/dl ! (some months ago BG was ok ... 120-135 ).
The only thing you missed was insulinopenia, which may be more common than you think. It is low insulin without antibodies, and may not include insulin resistance.
i have had a c-peptide of 1-1.3 over the past 10 years. I take metformin 500mg ER bid. I had high GAD-65 autoantibodies. I have an HBA1c of 5.8-6.0 I've had diabetes for 20 years. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. Should I absolutely be on some sort of insulin? I have fasting sugars in the 85-95 level but will spike after starchy items whether fruits,sweet potatoes,bread,etc. I walk a lot. I am 70, 5'9", 145 lbs and believe I am insulin sensitive but just don't produce enough insulin to control those types of foods.
A doctor diagnosed you with diabetes with those A1C and glucose numbers? Your numbers seem really good.
Hello is it possible to still have diabetes even though A1C has been good 5.0 for last 4 blood tests and the current one . I’m wondering if I have it be a use of having many symptoms . I’m going to order a C peo fide test . Or should I not bother if aic is so good ? Thanks
Could you please put a number range for low, medium and high c peptide levels (fasting)? Thank you so much. Loved the video, very informative.
@@MasteringDiabetes the video said below 1.0 ng/ml is low ?
@@MasteringDiabetes But, Healthline and WebMD says the normal range is 0.5 - 2.0 ng/ml. Why does the Mastering Diabetes program consider less than 1.0 as low?
Healthline and WebMD says the normal range is 0.5 - 2.0 ng/ml. You say its 1.0 to 2.0 🤔
It helped a lot
Another great video. Thanks for all the information.
A combination of high fat and moderate protein with veggies saved me from T2D. I avoid omega-6 rich oils and flavour. I prefer clarified butter and olive oil as a source of fat.
This is mad confusing. At the beginning you said if its less than 2 ect ect then over 4. There is no 4 on my range of test.
What are the names of these antibodies? I am using the RequestATest website.
I have self diagnosed insulinopenia, and my c-peptide number does back it up. I have no autoimmune antibodies., but I am not insulin resistant at all. I think the antibody question is a red herring, and causes people like me to be left in the wilderness to die. I saved myself from starvation by getting on insulin, after 6 MD's had told me there was nothing wrong with my insulin. I think what you are presenting here is quite good, but all the doctors in main stream medicine aren't even interested in insulin, and think that glucose is all that matters. That will never change because this information has been around for at least 50 years, and doctors just don't grasp any of it. They are happy with the symptom/drug approach, and don't know anything about the metabolism. I do think that educating us sick people is a good thing to do, and our only hope is to find a good naturopath or functional med doctor, but they are almost non-existent in most places, and usually they don't take Medicare, which means we pay out of pocket, but it is actually cheaper in the long run that going to main stream doctors, who will kill you slowly, and with a lot of expensive drugs.
How you doing man? I have also self diagnosed myself insulinopeniac, my c pep test reads 9.7. I have regularly monitored my blood glucose my fbg is normal always less than 100 but random glucose sometimes go up as high as 200 if I eat high carb diet.
Can I talk to yo privately over Skype or any other app?
If you are 0.9 and already taking insulin - is there any hope? Does taking insulin affect the test?
I am normal weight, active, walk an hr a day, eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, no processed foods, but my FBS have been 99-100, A1C 5.9, 6.1, C peptide 0.9, negative for antibodies, insulin fasting 3.3. What can I do to improve my A1C, increase my C peptide level and help my beta cells function better? Thanks for your help.
Low carb mate. Got to keep insulin, sugar down. What this video says is not for everyone
My fasting insulin is 4 uu/ml, is it LADA???? what insulin level comes in LADA type diabetes, both fasting and pp????? Please answer doc...
You got your answers??
My fasting insulin is 2.7 uu/ml.
A1c of 5.7
Informative video. Low fat plant based diet makes no sense for diabetes though. High carbohydrates is the main culprit.
In simple terms, the principal cause of insulin resistance is excess dietary fat. Start here: th-cam.com/video/AArKiXnwP44/w-d-xo.html
@@MasteringDiabetes It would be interesting to build a "keto survivors" insulin recovery program !
My c peptide was .66 with a fasting glucose of 90. My issue is hypoglycemia I did 3 hr ogtt and had normal results until the third hour with a glucose level of 34. Still no answers on what is going on
Robby, at around 14 minutes in, Cyrus starts going through the reference range for "Stimulated C-Peptide." On the first two measurements, he denotes, "Stimulated C-Peptide," then on the last one - 4+ ng/ml - he says, "fasting C-peptide." Did he misspeak here? Was he intending to say, "Stimulated C-peptide," again? Please advise, because a fasting C-peptide of 4+ is pretty high.

I wondered the same thing..... Said stimulate for 1st 2 and fasting for 3rd?
very useful information ever heard, thankyou
explanations and proofs about c-peptide, mainly the explanation of stimulated c-peptide and fasting c-peptide. thank you very much.
What is a c peptide fasting 1.4 is that low or high?
Is there anyway I can obtain a image or copy of your c-peptide / autoantibody chart that is shown towards the end please? I’m getting my c-peptide, GAD-65, IA2 and insulin autoantibodies thru a private self pay company tomorrow. Thank you in advance!
Do u think u would find any need of getting a c peptide test having T1 for 23 years?
Where do u fit with Cpeptide 3.0.....negative all antibodies, also not diagnosed diabetic? Also where would a normal person be with no diabetes?
What is a medium c-peptide value and what is high.
Fasting my BG was 99, A1C 5.6 and c-peptide 4.3. The lab range is up to 4.4 which I think confirms my insulin resistance. But boy is it hard to get anything like a straight answer from my doctor or even the web.
One wonders what c-peptide should be for a normally insulin sensitive person with BG of 99?
Clearly I should have watched all of the video before commenting. C-peptide 4.3 … T2 diabetes. Although I do need to get the antibody tests done…
Please talk more About the anti Body tests

My wife's fasting c-peptide is 1.64 and the stimulated c-peptide(pp) is 4.50. Can you please interpret the results. Awaiting your feedback.
is stimulated c peptide is a different method? or if I go there after meal then the c peptide value will count as stimulated c peptide?
Sir 1st time test my A1c is 5.7 and my fasting c picpide is 0. 64 after 12 hour eat only chicken 200 g lab Range 0.81 - 3.75 what can I do
Hi Bhai
yes
My Doctor refused when I requested a C-Peptide test ugggg
This is kinda confusing.
my glucose was: 88
c peptide was: 1.12
soooo before a stimulates test what does that tell you?
My cpeptide is .41 ngml....what should I understand
Can you guys do a video on Triglycerides and maybe HDL? My Cholestrel dropped 25 points, LDL dropped 10 points and my A1C dropped from 7.1 to 5.4 after going plant based for 3 weeks. Its just my HDL fell from 50 to 33 and my Triglycerides increased from 170 to 232. I've seen a lot of people who have high Triglycerides from doing a high carb low fat vegan diet. Thanks!
Dont follow these idiots !! move to keto diet
what part of southern south america was Cyrus at in this video?
Osmosis?
I was diagnosed as autoimmune Type 1 after rapid onset and hospitalization seven years ago. Last week I had bloodwork done, and my C-Peptide level is 0.27 ng/ml. Does this mean that I am still producing a tiny amount of insulin on my own? How is it possible to be producing any insulin at all at this point?
Hi! Were you hospitalized because your glucose was low or high?
I have c peptide of 0.02... is it type1?
Hi I have type 2 I just had my blood test results today and I am 3.14 what does it mean
I thought that low carb diet is recommended for fixing insulin resistance, but these guys suggesting low fat plant based diet, not sure which one is correct
I have been searching for this explanation of if my pancreas is still making insulin or not. THANK YOU THANK YOU
This video by far one of the most valuable videos I have watched since I have been following the Ketogenic lifestyle for 6 months with very low progress. I have gone from injecting 150 units of Lantus to 40 units today. My numbers are above 100 so I know i am not where i need to be but i am leaning on the less insulin side to lose weight. As losing weight will help with insulin resistance. Diabetics are just not being treated correctly. The lack of knowledge out among the general public is insufficiant. When people are eating what they want and going for blood work the dr perscribes insulin at the blink of an eye. He wants A1C down. The c-peptide test has never been done for me. I will will be paying for my own c-peptide. We pay thousands of $ to insurance co. One c-peptide test was denied be my primary care. Sorry this is unacceptable. Sorry for the long post.
C.peptide is important
very interesting
I am not sure if this question had been answered before, in the table @ 20:10 Low, medium and high C peptide are all Type 2 Diabetes regardless of whether they test positive or negative to antibodies? What is a normal fasting C peptide for a healthy human who is not type2 diabetes?
