Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
@ConservativeAtheist That adhesive irritated my skin too. I wear my Libre2 without the covers now, mostly towards the inside of my upper arm to avoid knocking into anything. You could try to cut the edges to make it smaller?
I reversed my type 2 diabetes 3 years ago with low carb diet, now i have gestational diabetes and i'm keeping my insuline intake on minimum with eating around 120-150g of carbs a day for baby... and breakfast is easy start to a day with max 25g of carbs... that's what helps me... thank you for such a cool chanel to help to understand libre system and all other advices ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am 62 and have been a T1D for 44 years and have had no complications because I feel it is due to eating a "balanced" healthy diet trying to avoid big/late dinners, exercise regularly (weights and cardio 3-4 times a week), maintain a healthy weight (being on the leaner side really helps in blood glucose control) and monitor/compensate my blood glucose levels with the aid of a CGM and it's significantly helps me to keep my a1c's between 5-6, time in range > 90%, and standard deviation < 35 on shots only and not having to deal with the hassles of a pump. I agree with avoiding high sugar meals (sweetened breakfast cereals and pastries are the worst!) to keep my blood glucose levels from spiking but low carb, high protein/fat meals NO! A balanced diet has been best for me as it matches my short acting insulin (I use Lyumjev) absorption profile as it was likely designed to do exactly that and high protein/fat meals just make my blood glucose levels rise later on because they digest slowly and I have to take an additional bolus around 4 hours later and even a second bolus a few hours later if it was a high fat meal. The bigger problem is if I eat a high protein/fat meal at dinner I end up getting up in the middle of the night to bolus, which I don't like to do. Also too much protein and fats, especially red meats, are hard on your digestive system and raise cholesterol! Best of all balance diets are not boring and are they can be very healthy, remember vegetables and fruits that are full of healthy vitamins and fiber are carbs!
@@TypeOneTalks Thank you for your channel and ability to share experiences. As you know being a T1D takes diligence and the disease is unforgiving. I try to meet my goals of control without making it super difficult. Exercise is a huge part of that and even better when you find exercise I love to do, which for me is hiking, disc golf, and mountain biking. It’s amazing the blood glucose stability it provides and protection against the side effects of diabetes!
I love to eat spaghetti sauce with lean Turkey meat. I do not eat pasta, only the sauce. However, I changed the sauce from Ragu to Rao’s sauce. Rao’s sauce has far less sugar and carbs. I’m glad I made the change.

1) stop eating food with added sugar 2) eat low GI foods 3) eat high fibre foods 4) Take a post meal walk 30-60 minutes 5) count/estimate carbs in each meal 6) for T1D taking insulin earlier i.e. prebolusing 7) use CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) 8) eat low spike meals (I've yet to watch that video) 7)

Hey Tom! I am due to see my endocrinologist next week. My NovoRapid insulin takes a lot longer to act than normal. So I’m going to ask about another quick acting insulin. I’m also on a very low carb diet which virtually never changes. I love your channel & I find it really helps me to stay focused. Keep up the great work 🥰🥰💕💕🇦🇺
The endocrinologist said that I was probably one of the best type 1 diabetics he sees in his clinics. So to just keep going. This year in April I will be celebrating 40 years of being a type 1 diabetic. Thank you though for your support & you take care 😘🥰🇦🇺
Hey Kerry, the fat content in your diet will severely inhibit your insulin sensitivity. cut out the fats and after about 3 days you will notice a massive difference
Mishandled type 2s can behave as type 1s due to their pancreas being destroyed by glucose going crazy for long years... What I am trying with my mother is placing solid source of soluble fiber to the big meals. Always less than 20g carbs per meal. Keep in mind not all carbs are converted to sugar... So chug a ton of fibers. Soluble ones. Low GI foods mixed with high ones. Good fats are your friend too. She have high cholesterol too so I am trying to start L carnitine with her.
Great video, Tom! Your practical tips and personal experiences are super helpful and inspiring. It's clear you genuinely want to help others manage their blood sugar levels. I appreciate your honesty and the detailed explanations you provided. Keep up the fantastic work!
I was 186 and overweight last year and was eating excess sugar. I dramatically reduced my sugar intake and since then went down to 148. My A1C dropped from 5.7 to 5.5. What I will say though is eating bread is OK, even if it’s white bread, as long as you don’t consume it in excess and eat balanced meals throughout the day. If you eat rice, put beans on top of it to reduce the spike. But yes, this guy is right, eat vegetables and legumes, it will help a ton. Also, if you are going to eat bread and rice, do yourself the favor of doing cardio to at least burn stored up sugar to offset the spike.
Hi, is the spike you guys speak of 2 hours post meal? Is that when you should check? My a1c was also 5.7 and I've been trying to watch what I eat but today I got a glucose monitor and ate a double cheeseburger and tested an hour and then 2 hours after eating. An hour after it showed 154 and 2 hours after eating it was 109. Everywhere I look they talk about measuring 2 hours after eating. When I saw the 154 I freaked out a little but then relaxed when it dropped to 109. My question is, is this a high spike an hour after eating or is it the 2 hours that should be looked at?
@@5to522 One. After two hours, your insulin kicked in. When eating a meal like that, do 15 minutes of walking to offset such a spike. Walking burns sugar and you won’t need insulin during walking to lower your glucose.
@@captainjaber5610 Thank you for the fast reply! Is that a very high spike at one hour? Also does it mean my insulin is not working normally? I will definitely walk after meals.
Weight training is SO underrated and not on alot of tips, I dont get it. What a game changer!!!!!! Just as soon as I got bk on the weights, my sugar stays 120 or less after fast food and sugar soda now, used to be 140-160 ish
Thank you for all these info, they are precious. I hav recently realized that canned legumes (such as canned lentils or chickpeas) have a much higher GI than the dry version, like... way higher.
Great tips Tom and have had my share of spikes yet now it’s completely opposite and have been having lows. Eating well; exercising as usual yet noticing more lows before a meal. Had to adjust my Humalog rapid pre breakfast and dinner. Yet I used to take a very small amount pre lunch and the past few days have been monitoring it with my LIFESTYLE LIBRE SENSOR CGM and I haven’t spiked to warrant more Humalog. I do take long lasting Tresiba in the morning but have not adjusted it and kept it the same.Either my carb intake is definitely more controlled (as I’m very diligent in my diet and follow my dieticians plan since becoming a T1D in 2018 at 56….no family history!)or my body is demanding less insulin….not complaining!. So happy I found your channel and can relate to the majority of issues you talk about and also getting great tips from a fellow T1D. Any tips on low readings? Less insulin is definitely one of them. Taking notes for when I see my Endocrinolgist early in the new year as I see him every 4 Months and he makes small adjustments in my insulin. Will check out your video on your fave low carb meals. I have definitely come a long way from when first diagnosed and appreciate advice and tips from fellow T1D as yourself👍
I was diagnosed with type 2 in May, A1C was 13.5, glucose was 454. In August my A1C was 5.6 glucose in the morning is 90 to 120. No more Hemaloige (sp), 4.5 mg of Truelicity (sp), weekly, and as my Truelicity dosage increased from .75 to the 4.5, I've been decreasing my Lantis by 2 units every 3 days. I've dropped the Lantis from 54 units down to 10, and continuing to drop. What say you?
@@rcommonman7803 Good day, My doctors and their staff are amazed with my results, last 2 A1C tests came back at 5.4. My diet is really quite simple, I think. Routine: Test Glucose, 1 24oz mug coffee w/ 2 splenda and 4 tsp coffee mate, 1 bowl oatmeal, (1/2 cup dry) with 4 Tbl spoon Sugar Free syrup. Lunch: I keep my carbs at 60 grams or less, Ramen with 3 eggs poached in the broth is right at 60 gr carbs, or tuna sandwich with chicken noodle soup, also under 60 gr carb. Dinner: Last night we did fried potatoes, eggs & Bacon. Figure potatoes at 5 grams per ounce, I do 10 oz off potato, 5 eggs on top, ( 1 gr of card per egg), Zero carbs for bacon. IF Interested I can give you many more meal plans. Once you get used to meal planning it just becomes nature. When we're out and about, and need lunch, we stop at Jack in the box. I can have a "Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger" and half a large fry and STILL be under 60 grams of carbs. LMK, I'm happy to give you more meal plans if interested, my Dr wants to make me their "Poster Boy" for turning T2 around 😃
Even pre diabetics should avoid carb to a great extent. I have started on low carb diet for last one month and results are great. Now, my system dislikes sight of carbs. Feel more energetic.

To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
Thanks Tom, another great and useful blog. Ah, how long to pre-bolus before eating? It is that sort of thing coupled with that slight variation that keeps us diabetics on our toes! Well worth doing, though I haven't got the time quite right yet especially as I can forget to eat at the right time. My real besetting sin is eating then forgetting the bolus...it is one of the reasons I keep my carbs down as low as I can nearly every day but I do have the occasional naughty day when I have maybe as much as 40 carbs. It is hard work to keep that level line which is why I love having only 2 to 5 gms carbs in a day. It helps when one has a bad memory.
I have tried walking after meals, taking Apple Cider vinegar before meals, and neither together or alone have made any real difference in my blood sugar spikes, any suggestions?
I am always between 4 and 8 - I use 240 units in total of Long and Rapid acting. I inject my rapid one hour before eating and I have absolutely amazing control with a standard deviation of between 0.7 and 1.0 - I eat 60gm carbs max per day and only 800 calories as I have an incurable lung disease too which is massively affected by diet - hence the restriction in the diet.
Which rapid acting insulin are you using that enables you to inject 1 hour before eating? If it's humalog or actrapid, you must have an unusual metabolism... ydmv. I'm sure if I was to do that I'd be on the floor!
@@pjr-asian-art-songs I take 120 Units (60 Tresiba and 60 Novorapid) first thing in the morning on waking. I then take 60 Units ish for lunchtime and either 40/50/60 for Dinner dependant on carbs / actual levels and bearing in mind my blood sugar dropping at night. As I have always said Diabetes is an "Art Form" with a little bit of science mixed in.
@@SarcoidosisWarrior Interesting, you've obviously got a lot of insulin resistance. Can I ask what your ratios are (if you don't mind sharing that information) and roughly how many carbs you eat for your breakfast?
I think that i am a pre diabetic and your advices is helping me a lot. I just start to mesure my blood sugar with an libre and i see withch foods is afecting my blood sugar.
Also I heard and experienced that if your plate has carbs protein and fats like Chicken rice and vegetables, eat vegetables and chicken first and then eat carbs so that the blood sugar spike can be controlled by fiber and protein that’s already in the gut
I cut most carbs from my diet... my Blood sugar is much better. If I have am unsure about something.. I eat it then wait an hour .. and see if I spike and how much. Then I decide if I should eat that food again.. or just cut the amount. I do still have a little carbs, like some rice in m chicken soup.. but not much. In a can of chicken rice soup, I throw out 1/2 the rice.. and I eat the other 1/2. If my family is having potatoes.. I maybe have 2 or 3 bites with my meal.
Hi sir, I am following OMAD for the past two weeks (Male / 30age / 80kg) I tested my blood sugar an hour before my meal which was 78mg/dL and 2hrs after the meal its spiked to 161mg/dL. I ate 1cup of rice, 1 small banana, 3 boiled egg. Should I be worried here about the 161 level?
Don’t forget if you want to change how the meal spikes your glucose eat the fiber first and sugar last you’ll absorb less sugar that way resulting in a lower glycemic spike
Glycemic index should be observed along with glycemic load and satiety index. Glycemic index can't go far with the load of a bite of white bread. Take your time eating. Chew every bite and swirl every sip in your mouth as long as it tastes good. I eat according to my appetite without greed. I medicate according to my glucose reading. Everything goes up in winter and drops in summer. I have not seen information on glucose spikes. Does it matter if what goes up immediately comes down?
thank you for this really tom, my kid she eat alot of carbs but we calculate it very good and its not rise is this wrong i mean sometime she eat 100 carbs, she take the insulin before 20 min and it work very good
I've been t1 for 35 years. Sugar levels have always been a bit of an issue, but when I found keto, my sugars improved to near non-diabetic levels, but then went south. I therefore went full carnivore, and, again, my sugars improved greatly. Then, again, they went to sh.t. I eat once a day, and eat meat nearly exclusively, but still dealing with huge spikes after meals. For example, I had a hamburger patty, no cheese, a couple of slices of bacon, and two small sausage meatballs. 2u to cover. Pre meal I was low at 54, now I am 197. Zero carbs. I'm really beating my jead against the wall. Even when I don't eat, my sugars climb. I have tried increasing my basal to no avail. Seems as though I am insulin resistant, bu should have that straight after 5 mos no carbs. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
your problem is with your liver, your liver secret glucose when there is short of glucose in the body, hence you should stop your liver from producing the glucose; to do that you can use different mechanisms. As I can see you are going well, I mean your body acting just like type 2 diabetes, probably your insulin looks working despite in small amount.
Thank u for sharing ur experiences, am type 2 diabetic, its hard for me to follow how to liwer my blood sugar, this im hving my insulin b4 meals & b4 bedtime i try to follow d way u did, so later on my bloid sugar will be normal...
@@TypeOneTalks Thank you. I’ve now chosen to live a low carb lifestyle and my HbA1C from 10.9 has now come down to 5.7 in 5 months! This lifestyle is sustainable and has worked the MAGIC
I might be wrong, I believe that low fat, whole plant foods result in a similar result. Due to a very high concentration of fiber. And do not result in a greater risk of diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, ect. And can resolve insulin insensitivity. It’s only the side effects about a ketogenic diet that concern.
After dinner i have an increase in my sugar level, when i dont eat proper food or eat chick peas it stays normal. What do i do after eating proper food to maintain my sugar level.
Keto is not Zero Carbs. It limits carbs to 50 grams per day. It's impossible to completely remove carbs from your diet since even meat has some. a typical carnivore diet will have as much as 10 grams per day, which compared to the standard American diet is practically zero.
i reversed my diabetes t2 eating keto which by the way isn’t no carbs but you need to eat less than 20 g of carbs measure ketones in blood and you can creep up a little no carbs are carnivore diet ( even in meat there are a few carbs)
When I had my first Whopper menu with salad instead of fries and water instead of coke I was surprised to feel very light afterwards. My brain had already expected to feel heavy after going to BK.
I think this is very individual. I do not have universal answer on this (plus I am not a doctor so not appropriate for me to give medical advice:)) Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much for your videos (the Freestyle Libre ones and those with recipes and tips to limit blood sugar spikes. I'm underweight, needle-phobic and 'blessed' with gestational diabetes (HbA1c 5,4%, fructosamine normal, max G 186 mg/dl after a 'normal meal' but they're very, very strict here) and a diabetic follow-up with a diet focusing only on lowering glycemia after meals and losing weight. The second part I did not need ...
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my Type 2 Diabetes
I am a diabetic for over 19 years. My diabetic has conditioned me to my last state. But I did not take insulin. From October 2020 I joined Anti-sweet men group and as far as diabetes is concerned my sugar level has continued to remain in normal
Ok this morning I had 2 eggs fried in bacon grease 1 small sausage patty and 1/2 a cup of coffee that’s it and my blood sugar went from 130 to 200 what’s up with that
I am not a medical specialist. Probably worth consulting with one or your medical professional. From my perspective I don’t see why not. But I would not go crazy! I think balance is important. Good luck!

So happy I found your channel and can relate to the majority of issues you talk about and also getting great tips from a fellow T1D. Any tips on low readings? Less insulin is definitely one of them. Taking notes for when I see my Endocrinolgist early in the new year as I see him every 4 Months and he makes small adjustments in my insulin. Will check out your video on your fave low carb meals. I have definitely come a long way from when first diagnosed and appreciate advice and tips from fellow T1D as yourself👍
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing you experience my friend!
Can you help me managing my diet? I donot want to lose so much weight.. I am 62years old
Annie simon.... Can you help me manage my diet i do not want to lose so much weight since i lost so much weight already.
Nice video to motivate diabetic patients about their eating habits. Good also to get the tips about how to avoid your diabetes spike. Thanks
Thank you so much!
I was diagnosed with type 2 in May, A1C was 13.5, glucose was 454. In August my A1C was 5.6 glucose in the morning is 90 to 120. No more Hemaloige (sp), 4.5 mg of Truelicity (sp), weekly, and as my Truelicity dosage increased from .75 to the 4.5, I've been decreasing my Lantis by 2 units every 3 days. I've dropped the Lantis from 54 units down to 10, and continuing to drop. What say you?
Very nice job! Congrats!
Diet plan please
Am 32, now effected with type2 diabetis
@@rcommonman7803 Good day, My doctors and their staff are amazed with my results, last 2 A1C tests came back at 5.4.
My diet is really quite simple, I think.
Routine: Test Glucose, 1 24oz mug coffee w/ 2 splenda and 4 tsp coffee mate, 1 bowl oatmeal, (1/2 cup dry) with 4 Tbl spoon Sugar Free syrup.
Lunch: I keep my carbs at 60 grams or less, Ramen with 3 eggs poached in the broth is right at 60 gr carbs, or tuna sandwich with chicken noodle soup, also under 60 gr carb.
Dinner: Last night we did fried potatoes, eggs & Bacon. Figure potatoes at 5 grams per ounce, I do 10 oz off potato, 5 eggs on top, ( 1 gr of card per egg), Zero carbs for bacon.
IF Interested I can give you many more meal plans. Once you get used to meal planning it just becomes nature.
When we're out and about, and need lunch, we stop at Jack in the box. I can have a "Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger" and half a large fry and STILL be under 60 grams of carbs.
LMK, I'm happy to give you more meal plans if interested, my Dr wants to make me their "Poster Boy" for turning T2 around 😃
White rice and bananas made me spike, now I know why. Thank you so much!!
Even pre diabetics should avoid carb to a great extent. I have started on low carb diet for last one month and results are great. Now, my system dislikes sight of carbs. Feel more energetic.
Thank you so much for sharing my frined. Have a great day!
Thank you for these tips! My blood sugars are mostly rollercoasters... I really want to fix this so I am starting today with your tips :-)!
try to take the insulin before 15 to 20 eating your food and calculate ur carbs very well
be careful of if you are on insulin ore drugs that forces sugar out your body
you need to take less

Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you both all the best! Have a great day!
I never heard of a Insulin/Carb ratio before this. I've also been trying to take a walk just before I eat.
You are most welcome my friend. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks Tom, another great and useful blog.
Ah, how long to pre-bolus before eating? It is that sort of thing coupled with that slight variation that keeps us diabetics on our toes! Well worth doing, though I haven't got the time quite right yet especially as I can forget to eat at the right time.
My real besetting sin is eating then forgetting the bolus...it is one of the reasons I keep my carbs down as low as I can nearly every day but I do have the occasional naughty day when I have maybe as much as 40 carbs. It is hard work to keep that level line which is why I love having only 2 to 5 gms carbs in a day. It helps when one has a bad memory.
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing you experience my friend!
I have tried walking after meals, taking Apple Cider vinegar before meals, and neither together or alone have made any real difference in my blood sugar spikes, any suggestions?
I am always between 4 and 8 - I use 240 units in total of Long and Rapid acting.
I inject my rapid one hour before eating and I have absolutely amazing control with a standard deviation of between 0.7 and 1.0 - I eat 60gm carbs max per day and only 800 calories as I have an incurable lung disease too which is massively affected by diet - hence the restriction in the diet.
Which rapid acting insulin are you using that enables you to inject 1 hour before eating?
If it's humalog or actrapid, you must have an unusual metabolism... ydmv.
I'm sure if I was to do that I'd be on the floor!
@@pjr-asian-art-songs Novorapid doesn't affect me until after one hour to an hour and a quarter- my absorption rate is very slow.
@@pjr-asian-art-songs
I take 24 tablets which all raise blood sugar - I am fighting a Stage 4 incurable lung disease at the same time as diabetes.
@@pjr-asian-art-songs I take 120 Units (60 Tresiba and 60 Novorapid) first thing in the morning on waking. I then take 60 Units ish for lunchtime and either 40/50/60 for Dinner dependant on carbs / actual levels and bearing in mind my blood sugar dropping at night. As I have always said Diabetes is an "Art Form" with a little bit of science mixed in.
@@SarcoidosisWarrior Interesting, you've obviously got a lot of insulin resistance.
Can I ask what your ratios are (if you don't mind sharing that information) and roughly how many carbs you eat for your breakfast?
Another tip for blood sugar control is to do regular weight training in order to increase muscle mass.
I think that i am a pre diabetic and your advices is helping me a lot. I just start to mesure my blood sugar with an libre and i see withch foods is afecting my blood sugar.
Also I heard and experienced that if your plate has carbs protein and fats like Chicken rice and vegetables, eat vegetables and chicken first and then eat carbs so that the blood sugar spike can be controlled by fiber and protein that’s already in the gut
Do you have a video on how to raise blood sugar without eating sugar?? I would like for mine to stay at 100 and 118 when it drops to the 70's
I cut most carbs from my diet... my Blood sugar is much better. If I have am unsure about something.. I eat it then wait an hour .. and see if I spike and how much. Then I decide if I should eat that food again.. or just cut the amount. I do still have a little carbs, like some rice in m chicken soup.. but not much. In a can of chicken rice soup, I throw out 1/2 the rice.. and I eat the other 1/2. If my family is having potatoes.. I maybe have 2 or 3 bites with my meal.
Hi sir, I am following OMAD for the past two weeks (Male / 30age / 80kg) I tested my blood sugar an hour before my meal which was 78mg/dL and 2hrs after the meal its spiked to 161mg/dL. I ate 1cup of rice, 1 small banana, 3 boiled egg. Should I be worried here about the 161 level?
Same like me
Thanks for your suggestions. I experience spikes after eating. I just got the dexcomg6 meter. I really like it.
Don’t forget if you want to change how the meal spikes your glucose eat the fiber first and sugar last you’ll absorb less sugar that way resulting in a lower glycemic spike
5-10 mins on the cross trainer reduces approximately 70 mg/dl of my blood sugar.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Have a great day!
Glycemic index should be observed along with glycemic load and satiety index. Glycemic index can't go far with the load of a bite of white bread. Take your time eating. Chew every bite and swirl every sip in your mouth as long as it tastes good. I eat according to my appetite without greed. I medicate according to my glucose reading. Everything goes up in winter and drops in summer. I have not seen information on glucose spikes. Does it matter if what goes up immediately comes down?
Great show Sir...respects from Pakistan....❤🌷
Beautiful message ❤️
thank you for this really tom, my kid she eat alot of carbs but we calculate it very good and its not rise is this wrong i mean sometime she eat 100 carbs, she take the insulin before 20 min and it work very good
That's exactly how I do it and it works really great
Happy to hear that. Thank you so much for sharing my friend!
I've been t1 for 35 years. Sugar levels have always been a bit of an issue, but when I found keto, my sugars improved to near non-diabetic levels, but then went south. I therefore went full carnivore, and, again, my sugars improved greatly. Then, again, they went to sh.t. I eat once a day, and eat meat nearly exclusively, but still dealing with huge spikes after meals. For example, I had a hamburger patty, no cheese, a couple of slices of bacon, and two small sausage meatballs. 2u to cover. Pre meal I was low at 54, now I am 197. Zero carbs. I'm really beating my jead against the wall. Even when I don't eat, my sugars climb. I have tried increasing my basal to no avail. Seems as though I am insulin resistant, bu should have that straight after 5 mos no carbs. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
your problem is with your liver, your liver secret glucose when there is short of glucose in the body, hence you should stop your liver from producing the glucose; to do that you can use different mechanisms. As I can see you are going well, I mean your body acting just like type 2 diabetes, probably your insulin looks working despite in small amount.
Thank you!
Very nice information and presented impressively
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend.
Ty for sharing and God bless 🙌
👌 👍🏼❤👍🏼👌Excellent..Information..❤❤Tqsm sir...
I m so IMPRESSED..❤❤ walking is before lunch & dinner? OR After..please advice sir..🙏🙏

Great advice on diabetic diet
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend.
Finally you make perfect sense
Thanks so much Tom
Amazing! Excellent Tips! Thanks a million...
You are most welcome my friend. Wishing you all the best!
@@TypeOneTalks Thank you. I’ve now chosen to live a low carb lifestyle and my HbA1C from 10.9 has now come down to 5.7 in 5 months! This lifestyle is sustainable and has worked the MAGIC
To help lower high reading in the morning you said one glass of wine if good to try. White or Red?
Oh my goodness! I just tried your open face tuna salad… Delicious!
Can't do Keto. It's too much for me. I have been doing low carbs and lowered my AIC.
Awesome!
What was your net carb intake daily?
Min 2:18 low carbs foods
How about millets sir
Millets spike my blood glucose a lot. But I know poeple who tolerate it better. I guess everyone is different.
one thing that works for me to keep sugars under check is taking apple cider vinegar right after a carby meal.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Have a great day!
is it better beofore or after meal? I've read somewhere that said it's better before meal
@@marissasofia6286 I take it after it's effective haven't tried before
You should test your blood sugar 1 hour after meals. To see if there is a sugar spike . 2 hours is too long for an accurate response.
You are absolutely correct thank you for pointing that out! Thanks for watching have a great day!
Thumbs up if, like me, you like the way Tom says "Vegetables".
Haha. I know my accent is BAAAD! I am so glad you found a funny way to comment on that. Made me smile. Thank you my friend!
Thankyou so much 💓
You're welcome 😊
You're right!!! Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
I might be wrong, I believe that low fat, whole plant foods result in a similar result. Due to a very high concentration of fiber. And do not result in a greater risk of diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, ect. And can resolve insulin insensitivity. It’s only the side effects about a ketogenic diet that concern.
Good advice 👍
Glad it was helpful!
What about resistance training?
After dinner i have an increase in my sugar level, when i dont eat proper food or eat chick peas it stays normal. What do i do after eating proper food to maintain my sugar level.
NICE INFORMATION
Most of "yogurts" have added about 10% suggar. You should be very careful which one you should buy.
Thank you- very good explanation… just starting down this road.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Walking is the best medicine
100% agreed!
Does anyone here have a recommended "glycemic index of foods" list?
I believe I added a link in the video description box. Hope this helps!
What should be the random blood sugar range after 4hours of evening snack?
What pump and cgm do you have?
5:08 Prague, 8:57 "injekční roztok" . Do you have anything in common with the Czech Republic?
Hi David. I was born in the Czech republic and the insulin was actually purchased there:)
Keto is not Zero Carbs. It limits carbs to 50 grams per day. It's impossible to completely remove carbs from your diet since even meat has some.
a typical carnivore diet will have as much as 10 grams per day, which compared to the standard American diet is practically zero.
Thank you for the correction. You are right of course. Keto is technically not zero carb. Have a great day my friend!
@@TypeOneTalks Thank you too. Great video.
Very good information, explaination & advice Thanks 👍🙏 Love and respect from India..
Can I eat fruits post breakfast, before going for 2 hours blood glucose test.
I was about to click on like button, but he said before 2021🤭
Good job
Thanks a lot
You are most welcome my friend!
I had little steak & brown rice & snap pills & unsweetened apple juice 🧃 what did I do wrong? Please somebody
Am afraid of lossing my weight is it possible to control sugar without weight loss
i reversed my diabetes t2 eating keto which by the way isn’t no carbs but you need to eat less than 20 g of carbs
measure ketones in blood and you can creep up a little
no carbs are carnivore diet ( even in meat there are a few carbs)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Have a great day!
Dr Bernstein's is 30 total carbs not net carbs.
When I had my first Whopper menu with salad instead of fries and water instead of coke I was surprised to feel very light afterwards. My brain had already expected to feel heavy after going to BK.
How to gain weight in diabetes dr
Low spikes meals link?
hi tom generally how many units of fast acting insulin does type 2 diabetic take before meals?
I think this is very individual. I do not have universal answer on this (plus I am not a doctor so not appropriate for me to give medical advice:)) Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much for your videos (the Freestyle Libre ones and those with recipes and tips to limit blood sugar spikes. I'm underweight, needle-phobic and 'blessed' with gestational diabetes (HbA1c 5,4%, fructosamine normal, max G 186 mg/dl after a 'normal meal' but they're very, very strict here) and a diabetic follow-up with a diet focusing only on lowering glycemia after meals and losing weight. The second part I did not need ...
Those are great results! Good job! And I appreciate your feedback on the video. Very helpful. Wishing you all the best my friend!
Hi, I know this video is pretty old, but I wanted to ask: what if my ratio is wrong? 7:04 I tried to use it, but it doesn’t work 😅
This has been a challenging time, and I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, you have created a life that I thought was lost, thank you so much for curing my Type 2 Diabetes
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👌
Thanks for watching!
Bread is 5 carbs a slice
I am a diabetic for over 19 years. My diabetic has conditioned me to my last state. But I did not take insulin. From October 2020 I joined Anti-sweet men group and as far as diabetes is concerned my sugar level has continued to remain in normal
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Have a great day!
I don't use sugar and my is 135 125 morning.....im snak pistachios whole day or karots. 140.....
Very useful video, I took lots of screenshots
Ok this morning I had 2 eggs fried in bacon grease 1 small sausage patty and 1/2 a cup of coffee that’s it and my blood sugar went from 130 to 200 what’s up with that
Protein and fat counts for Type 1. 25 percent of total grams 4 to 6 hours Dual bolus.
Where to buy such kind of glucometer?
Your doctor orders it. Insurance may pay some or all. I don’t think you’d want to pay for this yourself.
Can it be for kids as well ? Lowcarb
I am not a medical specialist. Probably worth consulting with one or your medical professional. From my perspective I don’t see why not. But I would not go crazy! I think balance is important. Good luck!
You allowed to take butter and cheese but that increased my cholesterol to 142.
From humalog to what?
