Thank you so much. I found you from your interview with Dr. Berg. I’ve had SIBO twice; I have lost 70 pounds, have 30 to go. I’m so stuck. I’m 67. Can’t wait to do your protocol. Bought your book, the yogurt maker and all the stuff. Thanks!🙏
Mine was 10.3 when I was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year, then it dropped to 6.8, then 6.7 with diet and lifestyle changes. I told my Doc that I wanted to get down to 5.6 or better which he thought was very ambitious. It might take a while but I will get there as I also lose weight. Lunch today was steak, mushrooms, and onions cooked in butter.
Dr. Paul Mason says that for people on a low carb diet, the A1C reading is often higher than what the value really is because the blood cells turn over more slowly. Would like Dr. Davis to comment on this.
Excellent presentation! I'm eating your lactobacillus reuteri yogurt. I feel soooo much better! You are doing the world a wonderful service. Look forward to the next video.
@@bartginger123 I am experiencing more rejuvenating sleep, more vivid dreams and an overall better mood. I'm less stressed. I sleep only about six hours, but I feel really refreshed when I wake up.
@@bordenf Fantastic because that is what I need to improve, desperately (sleep). Thanks for your reply. Are you eating any of the other yogurts, or just the L. Reuteri right now?
Thank you so much. I just came logged into MyChart app and learned my HBA1c went up to 5.7 I was bad many days over the past few months. I have already corrected my behavior I stopped buying bread over a month. I fixed almond bread today and prepared my BLT with almond bread. So I hope to drop my A1c 1% point over the next 90 days. Stay tuned. I keep listening to you and the truths you pound down into my brain are slowing changing me. Thank you Dr. Davis.
Do some research on almond bread. It is generally not considered healthy by most keto doctors. Just stop the bread altogether. Have avocado if you must have a few carbs.
Same here. Mine was 5.8 and it prompted me to buy Wheat Belly. It's been 5 weeks of ZERO starch and I've lost 15 lbs off of my belly, even though I eat a lot of calories. After another couple of months, I'l get another A1c test. I feel great.
I’ve been making the fermented dairy, aka yogurt for 10 straight months, and absolutely love it. I’ve experienced most of the benefits it brings. Hard to eat only 4 ounces per day though.
Benfotiamine ( a synthetic vit. B1) may reduce glycation. Ceylon cinnamon 1/2 -1 teaspoon daily sprinkled on anything and Chromium capsules may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose. Ive been taking for 5 years and even with pretty high sugar consumption reduced my fasting glucose below 100, fasting insulin below 3, and A1C to 5.1. All 3 are inexpensive.( dont use saigon or vietnamese cinnamon due to high coumarin content which is hepatotoxic.)
After 5 years on carnivore diet my lab test A1c was 5.2 and Free Blood Sugar 93.7. Calculated A1c=(46.7+FBS)/28.7 gives A1c=4.89. Why the difference? Also, the average lifespan of red blood cells is, as you’ve mentioned is 90 days. However it is known that their lifespan can be substantially longer on low carbohydrate diet. However would you account for that? What can I do now when I eat only beef, eggs and bacon, to lower my latest A1c of 5.6?
Don’t worry about it. Your red blood cells are living longer and are simply being glycated more because they are hanging around longer. They should have a higher normal range for low carb folks.
Is it allowable to eat L. Reuteri yogurt as a parfait with something like organic dark chocolate powder and some berries without harming its positive effects? I’d like to try and serve as a desert.
I wouldn’t say it’s not allowable with that, but even by itself it’s very delicious. I wouldn’t make it a habit to always mix it with other things though.
I've been at 5.8 a1c for over a year. I started 6 weeks ago on 10% carbs. I'm still getting fasting glucose of around 103. How long should it take to get a fasting glucose under 100?
My small lipoproteins are all around 230. A1C 5.4. Interestingly my LDL was above normal and Cardio focused on lowing only LDL, wanted me on rosuvastatin. I was cheating, only took statins a month before blood test. Results: LDL is perfect, triglycerides went up, lipo-a, Apo B are still 230. I have covid injuries, mostly neurological in legs and strange vitamin D, iron and B12 overload. I know I lose collagen and already developed CAD. What is healthy way of living for me? All confused . Conventional docs are ….🙈
I have Type 2 diabetes and am doing carnivore, resistance training, and intermittent fasting. With 1000 mg of Metformin I can keep my A1C to 5.3. However, with only 500 mg of Metformin my A1C goes up to 5.5. Should I stick with 1000 mg of Metformin?
I believe Metformin is known to interfere with absorption of certain nutrients (like Vitamin B1--Thiamine, for example). You might want to look into that.
My A1c is 5.2, trigs 58 and fasting insulin very lie at 2! So I'm an out lyer in this. I'm 73, carnivore and all my labs are nearly optimal and Om super healthy. My goal is to continue to lower the A1c . I never eat fructose or carbs and I use a CGM. IT'S NORMAL to have a rise in blood sugar after eating but shouldnt be more than 30mg/dl, hang out no longer than 2 hours up to 4 hours before returning to baseline.
@ But my A1c is 5.6%. The key point is, A1c in isolation, cannot be used to predict diabetes. The estimated average glucose level from A1c is based on several assumptions, which may or may not be valid for an individual patient.
Recall 23andme result mentioned thallasemia but not sure what type. Check bg occasionally and it was high, tried exercise but a bit of thiamin worked pretty well(it can be destroyed by SIBo bact.s). My nutrition book listed garlic, chrome, inositol(helped me). Said hi B3 could raise and fish oil in some people. Am trying to gain wt so need some carbs I think. Is there an easy way to know visceral fat in ourselves?
Dr. Davis, that was the best FREE $500 office visit I've had in a good long time. My insurance company should send you a check 😉

Test it again in 90 days, when red blood cells renew.
He wont reply unless you pay for his blog even then some of his coaches will reply.
Get a CGM. Answers this. But its a bit of a hassle
Thank you DR. Davis for all your information and channel!!👍💖😉

Love to hear this! Can you share some of the benefits you have noticed after eating the L. Reuteri yogurt? Thank you!

@ I am using yakult, l. Gasseri and l. Reuteri. Primarily l. Reuteri. yogart made with yakult helps for sleeping too.
Great job. All physicians need to hear this.

I watched this eating your yoghurt it's so good and keeps me full for hours...thanks
I agree! Too bad so many DR's dont get these important details.
I reduced my A1C from 6.2 to 5.7 continuing this keto/ low carb lifestyle i hope to lower it , at least its heading down...❤
As always, sound and clear advice. Thank you Dr Davis - you are an absolute star!

Thanks for sharing this good info.
Excellent 👌

Dr David you do not advocate for a long term keto diet ad per your book Wheat Belly. So how is one to eat, if keto is off the table?pun intended)?
My doctor declined to include it in my recent blood tests, because “insurance only recommends it if your fasting glucose comes in high.”
could you do a video on how or where to consume anything with the specific microbes that give you Urolithin A?
YAH Bless!
My a1c is at 5.6
For some reason, I get really tired after a meal. I always eat healthy.
Same here.
Me too!
Means your meal has too much carbs and sugar.
What strain does the doctor use?

Question. I have his book on order but in the interim, does anyone know Dr. Davis' thoughts on Einkorn flour, whole wheat or all purpose? Thank you
What supplements are good for the collagen peptides…any capsule form?
ughhhhhhh. I hardly ever exceed 20 grams of carbs per DAY. I dont seem to be able to reduce my A1C below 6. One Metformine per day. So frustrating
Take BERBERINE from Swanson Vitamins 3 times a day!!! A miracle will take place in dropping your HBA1C!!!😉👍💖
Increase weight bearing exercise.
@@Chuckruumany many thanks. Just about to begin
@@dalialovesdoggies4361dear why metaformin is frustrating? Today I take first tablet of metformin bcs my A1c is 8.5.

I've been at 5.8 a1c for over a year.
I started 6 weeks ago on 10% carbs. I'm still getting fasting glucose of around 103.
How long should it take to get a fasting glucose under 100?
Dr. Davis, I've started to culture reuteri and gasseri. is it okay to include akkermansia into this culture?
Akermansia dies in oxygen. Very hard to cultivate
Is an A1C test the same as HbA1c? Or is there a difference?
Same
The Hb just means hemoglobin, which just means the resulting number is from a blood test. So ya, same thing.
If you eat more then 3 your eyes go crossed.

I am NOT a Doctor but I would never take 1000 mg of Metformin! I would cut the 500 in half and take 250 twice a day.
I believe Metformin is known to interfere with absorption of certain nutrients (like Vitamin B1--Thiamine, for example). You might want to look into that.
Drop the medication and stick to the healthy diet and be patient. You have to give the body time to heal itself.

Доктор, скажите пожалуйста. Белый рис тоже желательно не употреблять так же, как и пшеницу? Спасибо заранее.
You are correct, white rice even worse, both bad
Yes, it's a grain and a carbohydrate.
someone could have an a1c of 5.7 and still have glucose spikes well over 300.
That means that they have an active life
So where would this someone get this nonglycating glucose from?
Someone could have an A1c of 5.7% and never have blood glucose over 115mg/dL with average at 90mg/dL.
@@kinpatu an average glucose of 90 equates to a 4.7 a1c. which makes you a rock star.
