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
I have been diagnosed pre diabetic 3 months ago. I have none of these problems but am working on my diet and exercise since.. cutting out refined sugar, junk foods and carbs.
Can we all just cover this man in prayer and thank God for him and what he's done! This is so informative and inspiring to hear that indeed these ailments can be improved and chucked out even.
We appreciate your support! It's important to spread awareness and share valuable information. We're glad you found the tips helpful. Let’s keep the conversation going!
I've always struggled with dry skin. Lately I've been using a lot more olive oil (Extra Virgin) in my food and my skin is so soft and smooth! I always have smoother skin when I am in the sun and swimming in the sea in summer, especially when I'm in Greece (a more humid climate is also part of it). I haven't been swimming or sunbathing yet this summer, so I've started to wonder if part of the reason for having such great skin when I'm in Greece is the olive oil in the food. (Sorry, this isn't directly related to the topic - but I think it's more helpful than lotions etc. Heal from the inside!)
It's great to hear that you have noticed an improvement in your skin's texture and smoothness after increasing your consumption of olive oil. Olive oil is known for its beneficial properties for skin health, both when applied topically and consumed as part of a balanced diet. Olive oil is rich in healthy fats, such as monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. These properties can help nourish the skin and support its natural barrier function, keeping it hydrated and protected from external stressors. While the exact impact of olive oil consumption on skin health may vary from person to person, incorporating healthy fats into your diet, such as olive oil, can have overall benefits for your skin and overall well-being. It's important to note that maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, protecting your skin from sun damage, and practicing good skincare habits all contribute to healthy skin. If you have specific concerns about your skin or want to explore further dietary and lifestyle changes to support skin health, consulting with a dermatologist or a registered dietitian can provide personalized recommendations.
I too drink extra virgin olive oil,cold pressed and organic if possible.im Italian and my parents always used it so I as least have as well.im 60 yrs old and have been told I look like I'm in my 40s.i drink about 4 or 5 tablespoons a day it's also good to avoid blood sugar spikes as fat is great for that.
After eating healthier for about 1.5 years, the skin tags under my armpits fell off! I had them for 2 or 3 decades, and I certainly did not expect that to happen. I hope my experience will give people hope that they can improve their metabolic health by making positive lifestyle changes.
@@davidmoore2308 When I started my journey, I had OMAD, one meal a day for about 2 months. I only ate an omelette with some mixed vegetables. I walked/ran 5 miles a day. Most of my diabetes symptoms disappeared within 10 week, and I lost about 40 pounds. Now, if I were to do this again, I would not go so extreme. I will do 2 meals a day with low carb. Well, hindsight is 20/20.
@@watcherworld5873 hello I'm prediabetic what did you do to heal yourself can you please send me info on what you did, I have under skin tags too, would like to know so mine can fall off plus be healed.
I am a diabetic and have alot of these symptoms. I have changed my lifestyle since I have the Dexcom System. I am currently off 2 kinds of insulin and have my A1C at 5.2. It was 11.4 just 2 years ago. I work hard at my intake of carbs. I still eat a cookie occasionally but one. Not 3 or 4. I love fruit but limit the amount and usually eat it for breakfast so I can work it off as the day goes. It's all about changing my eating habits that's helped me. I do understand that this isn't the case for everyone though.
Congratulations on your incredible progress in managing your diabetes and improving your A1C! It's wonderful to hear that you have successfully changed your lifestyle and have been able to reduce your insulin usage. Your dedication to managing your carb intake and making conscious choices like limiting cookie consumption and incorporating fruit in a strategic manner is commendable. Every individual's journey with diabetes is unique, and it's great that you have found what works best for you. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing your experience! 😊👍
I am almost in month 7 on carnivore. My A1C has dropped down to 7 down from double digits . I am hopeful for a great Christmas with my A1C under 6! I am ever so grateful for your videos. These have saved my life.
That’s amazing progress! Congrats on lowering your A1C your hard work is paying off. Wishing you continued success and an A1C under 6 by Christmas! So glad the videos have been helpful for you. Keep it up!"
I have three of these symptoms. I showed them to my provider and she did not mention diabetes as the cause. General practitioners, MD's, nurse practitioners and all other medical professionals should be aware of these signs and at least give the patient an a1c test for diabetes. Great video, very informative. 👍
They can't or don't know. That's why is a lot of cases point a doesn't tell point b. I suggest you write down EVERYTHING YOU DO ATHLETICALLY AND OTHERWISE LEAVE OUT INTIMACY IF YOU CHOSE. EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD, P.S. DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF, NEVER MIND DOC. THEY ALREADY KNOW. WRITE IN DIARY OR NOTEBOOK. BUT ONLY MEDICAL IN DETAIL AS WELL AS EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD INCLUDING JUNK FOOD, ALCOHOL, CAFFEINE INCLUDED AND AS MUCH AS YOU CHOOSE TO DIVULGE. THEY WILL KNOW EITHER WAY. I DONT KNOW IF I SUGGESTED BUT DO SO ALSO TIMES WHEN U EAT. I KNOW IT'S A PAIN BUT IMPORTANT. SORRY IF I'M REPETITIOUS BUT IMPORTANT FOR YOU.
I agree absolutely.My Doctor started sending me to specialist after specialist.I requested certain blood tests only to be brushed off.Its difficult when you're not being listened to or taken serious about your health.
@@KC … I agreed the majority of Doctors are a joke , with my Vasculitis Púrpura problem I visit 5 family doctors and 3 dermatologist and some of them didn’t know what it was .. Lol
@@deniseparker3614 … Hi Denise. have you ever heard of Horus , the Egyptian God ?? Well he is the inspiration in which they base the creation of the Jesus carácter. But thank you anyway. You have a good day.
Thank you for the information which my doctor did not tell me about nor did he look at my skin. One doctor told me it was from old age and at the time I was only 36 years old. Now I know it was from pre-diabetes. I did not know what that was. I do now because I am diabetic now. Back then I wish I had studied this more. Thank you.
Yup yup. If the doc strongly advise you to cut off sugar n eat healthy who knows you may not be diabetic. There must be a law to mark these uncaring doctors but alas no.
You can still turn it around, by cutting down carbs to about 25g of carbs per day, down load a carb counter or just look at the packets before you eat, just be very careful near anything white bread or diet ryvitas, small amount of apples like half of one, but the best are strawberries raspberries or blueberries, very low carbs.
I’ve been using Freestyle Libre 1 blood glucose sensors for many years which transformed my glucose levels being Type 1 diabetic for 25 years. I’m now on Freestyle 2 sensors and now permanently in the green. I’m now moving onto Freestyle 3 which is approved in the US and UK and monitors blood glucose every minute. Readings are sent to your phone or small monitor. So far I’m completely free of Diabetic issues such as neuropathy or the issues in this video. I’m 66 now. All now free on the NHS in the UK.
The Freestyle Libre blood glucose sensors can be life-changing for people with diabetes, allowing for more accurate monitoring. It's great that technology is advancing to help people with diabetes live healthier lives.

Almost nine years ago I went to my primary care physician with a itchy rash on my thighs along with cramping of my leg muscles. He referred me to a dermatologist. That doctor prescribed an ointment to treat the rash. About 6 months later I had an infection in my foot. A surgical procedure was needed and was successful. It was determined that it was caused by uncontrollable diabetes. Neither of these doctors understood the symptoms that I had. There were numerous signs that to a knowledgeable doctor should have known the possibility of diabetes. A simple blood sugar test could have shed some light on my illness. Neither doctor asked or checked that. After reading numerous postings on this chat it is bothersome that these and other doctors are giving bad medical advise and treatment.
We're sorry to hear about your experience, and it's unfortunate that your symptoms and potential diabetes were not recognized earlier by the healthcare professionals you consulted. It's important for doctors to consider and investigate various possibilities when patients present with symptoms, especially if there are indications pointing towards a specific condition. While medical professionals strive to provide accurate advice and treatment, it's crucial to remember that medicine is a complex field, and misdiagnoses or oversights can occur. It's always a good idea to seek a second opinion if you have concerns or if your symptoms persist. Remember that open communication with your healthcare provider is key. Sharing your concerns, symptoms, and medical history can help them make informed decisions and provide appropriate care. Additionally, staying informed about your own health and educating yourself about potential conditions can empower you to advocate for your well-being.
@@DiabeticsTalk What bothers me most is that the very obvious signs that I was exhibiting were not noticed. In my late 50’s, obesity, rashes, discolored skin and skin tags. A blood sugar reading and an A1 test were never requested. I believe that a specialist such as a Dermatologist should have recognized the signs I was showing. Thank you for your advice. I do read and research health information more than I used too. Follow the rules. Correct weight along with a healthy diet. Blood pressure monitoring, alcohol consumption control, exercise, sleep and you’ll be your best advocate and role model. Until a magic pill for STRESS is invented, try to cut your stress levels. Make love, not war with your partner and drink huge amounts of water.
I am a type 2 diabetic and I have a really bad rash all over my body that is itchy and painful at times. I have been to my doctor and seen two different doctors but they just keep giving me different creams and tablets to stop the itching which don’t do anything. They haven’t even mentioned about it being my diabetes and the last doctor I saw 5 days ago and has referred me to a skin clinic that has a long waiting list. I am reaching the end of my tether. I feel as if they aren’t listening to me and certainly aren’t trying to help me.
We're sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. Skin issues can sometimes be related to underlying conditions such as diabetes. While we're not a healthcare professional, we can offer some general suggestions that may be helpful: Communicate your concerns: Make sure to clearly express your symptoms, concerns, and the impact they're having on your daily life to your healthcare provider. Ask them directly about the potential link between your diabetes and the skin issues you're experiencing. Seek a second opinion: If you feel your current doctors aren't addressing your concerns adequately, consider seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may have a fresh perspective or different treatment options to consider. Maintain good diabetes management: Ensure you're actively managing your diabetes by following your prescribed treatment plan, including medication, diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring. Good diabetes control can help improve overall health, including skin health. Practice good skin hygiene: Keep your skin clean and moisturized to prevent dryness and irritation. Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected areas, as it can worsen the condition. Use mild, fragrance-free skincare products and avoid harsh chemicals or irritants. Consider lifestyle factors: Pay attention to any potential triggers or irritants that could be exacerbating your symptoms, such as certain fabrics, soaps, or environmental factors. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, may also contribute to overall skin health. Remember, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance and treatment options.
Gail. I was reading about your terrible rash. My mum gets this at times, I went to chemist and got cream called RESOLVE ITS FOR JOCK ITCH AND OTHER ABRASSIONS. REALLY WORKS WONDERS. THANK YOU DAVE.
I think you’ve made the right call. Doctors treat symptoms of an ailment- they don’t treat the disease. Anything that gets better is because of what you do- diet & exercise- not all the dangerous chemicals they give you to take. Please read the side effects of the drugs you take. I took Pioglitazone- it causes bladder cancer, pancreatitis, kidney failure, stomach upset, UTI’s, heart failure, swelling and weight gain.

Hi Gail, I am not a medical profession but had awful non healing rashes. Suspected type 2 diabetes. Ive been eating very low carb, no sugar, meat only for 10 weeks. Im probably 95 percent improved in 10 weeks after months of medications which didn't work. I started improving in the first week of eating this way.
This has been so helpful...I have two thirds of these symptoms & even though I have asked, my Dr. hasn't said anything about diabetes being the cause! Thank you!
You're welcome! It's always a good idea to bring up any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing with your doctor. Diabetes can have various symptoms, and it's important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if necessary.
I think the information you have provided is good and helpful. My only suggestion is darker complexion should be add as well, it should address and show what it looks like as well. We all are not light in skin tone
Thank you for your feedback. You're absolutely right, representation and inclusivity are important in providing comprehensive and relevant information. I apologize if our previous videos did not adequately address or consider individuals with darker complexions. It's important to recognize that symptoms, conditions, and physical manifestations can vary across different skin tones. In providing information, it's essential to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their skin tone, receive accurate and inclusive guidance. We appreciate your suggestion, and we will strive to improve and be more inclusive in our future contents.
Lucky me. I am a septuagenarian and my Dr has told me for years that I am pre-diabetic but not to worry as long as I don't over do sweets.. I like sweets, but feel I do not overdue my consumption of them. After seeing this scary video, I can be happy to announce that I have yet never displayed any of the symptoms shown. PTL. Thanks.
Im in same position, 65 years old , was told i was pre-diabetic 9 years ago. So far i have held steady, but im working on losing weight ((10 lbs so far) restricting sweets and more exercise. I dont want to push my luck. And i have witnessed what healthy eating can do. If only vegetables didn't taste like...vegetables.
I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 15 years. I was diagnosed when I was still a child. My blood sugar was 539 and I only weighed 55lbs. I was an hour away from a coma and a week away from death. Luckily my dad took me to the doctor twice and forced them to get blood work done. He saved my life. I used to do competitive sports and actually had a seizure from low blood sugar after 8 hours of gymnastics. Needless to say I changed my career path from an athlete to an artist and musician because of my condition. I hope people understand that autoimmune conditions are certainly not a joking matter. Thanks for the video.
Congrats for this clear information. Many doctors and vlogs beat about the bush and don t show us diabetics these so common symptoms as well those for insulin overdosis.-
Thanks for sharing! We'll do our best to learn more about this bark. While there are various natural remedies and traditional practices that people may use for different conditions, it's important to approach them with caution, especially when it comes to managing diabetes and associated skin complications. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist who specializes in diabetes care before trying any new treatments or remedies. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the approach.
I blend raw garlic the whole bub I mix it with water and I add this mixture to a water bottle, and I shake this mixture together. I drink it down throughout the day. This can help with sugar and blood pressure. Garlic purifies the blood.
My father did this and he smelled like garlic all the time. raw garlic does not smell good at all once it is in your skin. Besides don't you have to worry about garlic eating a hole in your stomach? Which is not good and leads to other problems.
Great video , I suffered from Vasculitis Purpura for 5 years , controlling what eat I got rid of it but still suffering once in a while from rashes and red patches. Tks to your video I will Ck my insulin levels , that may be it Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! We're glad the video was helpful for you. It's important to stay vigilant and keep an eye on your insulin levels, as well as continue to make healthy food choices to manage your symptoms. If you have any concerns, be sure to speak with your doctor for guidance.

I am type 2, i use Libre3 to monitor my glucose. i been drinking the mixture of one lemon and half of the cucumber, add water and blend it, use 1/2 gallon for your mixture, put in the fridge. Everytime i drink i add 1/3 cup of diet tea drink for my sweetener, i drink it anytime of the day and before bedtime too. My glucose is between 95 to 120.
That's great to hear that you're using the Libre3 to monitor your glucose levels and have found a drink mixture that works for you! The combination of lemon and cucumber with water sounds refreshing and healthy. It's also nice to know that adding a bit of diet tea as a sweetener works well for you. Keeping your glucose levels between 95 to 120 is impressive! Keep up the good work, and always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that your routine remains safe and effective. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I was recently informed 1.5 years ago I have type 2 diabetes; the 1st reason I seen the doctor was because on the sides of my feet is dark or bruised looking and on the lower leg near the ankle circle red with dry skin. So recently the red dry skin went away near the ankle... I still have these dark purple skin mark on the side of my feet and I guess that is scares damage skin from when my diabetes was out of control. But I am still worried but my doctor told me not to worry. All I know is to greatly reduce simple carbs (sugar etc) and take my meds for now. I worry 1 day I might have to amputate my feet, I sure hope not. Amputation occurs if you get an foot ulcer and get a infection that doesn't heal then you get gangrene black feet then have to amputate to stay a live.
We understand that receiving a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes can be a difficult and overwhelming experience. It's great that you are taking steps to manage your condition by reducing simple carbs and taking your prescribed medications. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider and attend regular check-ups to monitor your blood sugar levels and manage any complications that may arise. Regarding the dark purple skin marks on the sides of your feet, they could be caused by skin damage from uncontrolled diabetes, but it's best to have them examined by a healthcare provider to determine the cause and whether any further treatment is needed. Remember that taking steps to manage your diabetes can help reduce your risk of complications, including foot ulcers and amputations. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress levels, and staying up to date with medical appointments and check-ups. Keep up the good work in managing your diabetes, and don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider with any concerns or questions.
Dry skin and lesions could be many things most commonly Eczema or Psoriasis and very, very rarely potentially fatal skin disorders like Mycosis Fungoides .
Rather preach this to the 48GP's, 2 physicians (internists), 2 dermatologists and top oncologist that didn't even consider the nine different skin conditions as related possibly to diabetes. I am up in arms about the lamentable ignorance of medical "professionals" who cannot even diagnose diabetes over a period of 35-40 years. The ineptitude cries to heaven.
thank you for this very informative and very helpful information about diabetes. It's really great help for all the people like me who does not know anything about simple signs of diabetes in our body. Great job.!!!!
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing skin infections, but I'm glad to hear that you're taking action by making an appointment with your doctor. It's important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect you may have diabetes. Best of luck at your appointment tomorrow.
We're glad to hear that your dry patches on your scalp have improved since you started taking Metformin, and that you've also experienced weight loss. Metformin is a commonly prescribed medication for managing diabetes, and it can be effective for improving blood sugar control and aiding in weight loss. It's important to continue to work with your healthcare provider to monitor your blood sugar levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
It's true that some symptoms of diabetes, such as skin changes, can overlap with symptoms of other conditions, including changes in the colon. It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to properly diagnose and manage any health concerns you may have. They can perform necessary tests and evaluations to determine the root cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Don't hesitate to bring up any concerns or questions you may have during your appointments.
I have a lot of symptoms… legs gets díscolored, I’m ALWAYS tired, I pee almost every hour, I sweat like CRAZY, I get hunger pains/dizzy spells… last pee test showed sugar in the urine, I was 1 number away from being in the pre-diabetic bracket… but the doctors sorta ignore it saying “I’m young health and not too heavy set have some snack and drink water” and that I shouldn’t worry😑… I swear doctors now a days wait for you to become severely ill to fully check anything.. and even then after they’ll just try to give you some antibiotics/pain meds/nausea pills and that’s it… 😑 the people want to PREVENT anything serious we’re not there to chitchat and waste your time…
It sounds really frustrating to feel unheard, especially with those symptoms. Your health is a priority, and it’s important to advocate for yourself. Consider seeking a second opinion or discussing your concerns more directly with your doctor. You deserve thorough care.
MY LEG HAS DEVELOPED A BLISTER LIKE WOUND THAT GOT WORSE WHEN I PUT A CLOTHE BANDAID ON. I HAD BEEN USING PEROXIDE ON IT THAT HELPED IT PRETTY GOOD BUT IT WOULD LEAK YELLOW DROPS THAT WOULD HARDEN. SO I BEGAN WASHING IT IN THE BATH TUB WITH DIAL BAR SOAP. THEN I GOT SOME AQUAPHOR ( FOUND IN THE BABY OINTMENT SECTION ) AND TREATED IT WITH THAT, I USED THE THINNEST KOTEX I COULD FIND AND LAYED THAT OVER IT AND USE COMPRESSION SOCKS TO HOLD ITI IN PLACE CHANGING IT 3 TIMES A DAY. NOW IT NO LONGER LEAKS BUT IF I LEAVE IT TO AIR OUT IT WILL AGAIN GET YELLOW DROPS OF GROSS. SO IM KEEPING IT WRAPPED AS I HAVE SAID AND ILL SEE THE DR ON THE 3 OF FEB. USING THAT OINTMENT HAS MADE SUCH A NICE DIFFERENCE AS ITS GOING AWAY. I DO HAVE ALOT OF ITCHING BUT ITS HEALING ITCH.
It's a leg ulcer. I've been plagued with them over the past few months. Your doctor will tell you what to do. Mine came from too much sitting and not enough water intake. Keep hydrated and elevate your legs.

I think this is helpful in diagnosing diabetes, and in knowing when to see a doctor, but how about reversing diabetes instead of just addressing the symptoms of these skin conditions? Reverse insulin resistance and diabetes and these symptoms either decrease or go away altogether. Diabetes can and should be reversed altogether, not just managed!
@@everydayeveryday982 - yea, lower carb eating and intermittent fasting definitely help. Dr. Jason Fung and his business partner, Megan Ramos have been able to get some diabetics off all their meds in a matter or days or weeks. Of, course, it depends on how insulin resistant the person is, etc., but people need to know that Type 2 can be reversed and that Type 1 can decrease insulin immensely. Plus, Type 3 or Alzheimers can either be prevented or diminished by a lower carb diet.
@@Afriqueleblanq - the majority of doctors have little to no nutrition training, so those are some of the last people I would be asking about this. Not to mention, the treatment they consistently put Type 2 diabetics on, insulin, only makes diabetes worse, as it’s an issue of too much insulin. Um, let’s see, this person already has too much insulin in their body, but let’s give them more. Brilliant - not!
@@LauraB.335 48 GP's, 2 internists, 2 dermatologists and 1 oncologist all didn't see I was diabetic. One doctor thought one's adenoids were located in the chin. As they clearly cannot diagnose, all I need is their script, not their opinion.
i have a roundish red 'mark" on my lower tum, it doesn't itch, flake or hurt..it isnt dry its just there ! its most like pink in colour...any ideas? when i first spotted it i thought it was a scald! but no...had it a few months now
Edema can be an internal infection, which can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. I had that once and it went away. I haven't had any swelling since.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that antibiotics helped with your edema. Always important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
The treatment and management of skin conditions can vary depending on the specific condition and its underlying cause. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. However, here are some general remedies and practices that may help improve skin health: Keep the skin clean: Maintain good hygiene by regularly cleansing the affected areas with mild, non-irritating cleansers. Avoid harsh soaps and hot water, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and exacerbate certain conditions. Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Look for products specifically designed for your skin type or condition. Avoid irritants: Identify and avoid triggers or irritants that may worsen your skin condition. This can include certain fabrics, chemicals, fragrances, or skincare products that cause irritation or allergic reactions. Protect from the sun: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with a high SPF, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade when the sun is strongest. This is particularly important for individuals with photosensitive skin conditions. Use topical treatments: Depending on the skin condition, your doctor may prescribe or recommend topical medications, such as corticosteroids, antifungal creams, or antibacterial ointments, to reduce inflammation, control infections, or manage specific symptoms. Practice good skincare habits: Maintain a consistent skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating (if recommended by your healthcare professional) to promote healthy skin. Avoid scratching: If you experience itchiness, try to resist the urge to scratch, as it can worsen inflammation and lead to skin damage or infections. Instead, use cool compresses, apply anti-itch creams, or consult your healthcare professional for appropriate remedies. Manage stress: Stress can sometimes exacerbate certain skin conditions. Engaging in stress-reducing activities, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies, may help improve overall skin health. Remember, these general recommendations may not be suitable for all skin conditions, and it's important to seek professional advice for proper diagnosis and personalized treatment. Your healthcare professional will consider your specific condition, medical history, and individual needs to provide appropriate guidance and recommendations.
It should be noted that these aren't the only skin issues that could be signs that one's glucose levels are not under good control. Thick calluses, skin tags, persistent dryness, new moles, persistent flushing, and any discoloration whatsoever are also signs of bad glucose control.
Kindly advice as my 2 year old son got the same blisters on feet frequently, we consulted derma n pediatrician both but nothing worked one advised to stop his formula milk and another suggested bundle of antibiotics.. which worked only to get it cured temporarily but it comes again after 2 months … plz advice to whom shall we visit and what right tests has to be done … awaiting for kind response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pediatric endocrinologist is the best type of doctor to consult for a child with diabetes. Pediatric endocrinologists are medical doctors who specialize in treating children and adolescents with diabetes, as well as other endocrine disorders. They have special training in the care of children and understand the unique challenges that can come with managing diabetes in children. They will be able to provide comprehensive care for your child, including prescribing insulin and other medications, monitoring blood sugar levels, and providing nutrition and exercise guidance. They will also work closely with other members of your child's healthcare team, such as a diabetes educator and a dietitian, to ensure that your child receives the best possible care.
Everyone should know their A1c and work to keep it below 5.5. Cut the carbs and eat real food. This way YOU are in control and keeping your body healthy for the future.
Very informative. I amut. diabetic and have a couple of these signs symptoms and pointed out one to my doctor, but nothing mentioned. It seems I will need to make more aggressive lifestyle changes
We're glad to hear that you found the information in the video helpful. It's important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of diabetes and to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. If you have noticed any symptoms, it's a good idea to bring them up with your doctor and discuss if further testing or lifestyle changes are needed. Making lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity, improving diet quality, and managing stress, can have a significant impact on managing diabetes and improving overall health. Your healthcare provider can help you develop a plan that works for you.

Trying to tell doctors anything anywhere they get hurt and refuse to listen to you. If they agree with your finding they won't have a good attitude. Best to just act dumb and ask "what could it be Doctor?" Otherwise you'll walk out with a mental health dr appointment too. They all share kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies.
We understand that it can be frustrating when healthcare providers do not listen to or take seriously the concerns and input of their patients. However, it is important to note that most doctors are committed to providing the best care possible for their patients and take their oath to "do no harm" seriously. It's also important to maintain open and honest communication with your healthcare provider and to advocate for yourself in a respectful manner. While there may be conflicts of interest in the healthcare industry, including those related to pharmaceutical companies, it is important to remember that not all healthcare providers engage in unethical behavior and that many are dedicated to providing quality care to their patients.
@@DiabeticsTalk well, tuche! That was very well thought out and i appreciate your dedication to sharing information on the level that you take your time out to ensure that people consider other perspectives. Thanks for being out here doing this 🙏
True! I had a young Asian female doctor and she kept telling me "stop watching youtube to get doctors advice"! Yet she wouldn't give me a full physical such as checking for diabetes, glucose, or any other problems. She just kept saying it's in my head and stop listening to doctors on youtube!
It's never too late to make positive changes to your health, and it's great to hear that you are taking steps to address your pre-diabetes. Making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity can help improve your blood sugar levels and prevent the onset of diabetes. Remember to also consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. Keep up the good work!
It sounds like you're dealing with multiple health issues that can be challenging. It's important to work closely with your doctor to manage these conditions. They can provide a tailored treatment plan that addresses your varicose veins, ulcers, and eczema. Don’t hesitate to ask for help or seek a specialist if needed.
Yes, anxiety and depression can cause or exacerbate certain skin issues. When we experience stress or anxiety, our bodies release stress hormones such as cortisol, which can have a negative impact on the skin. This can cause or worsen a range of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea. Additionally, depression can often lead to changes in personal hygiene and grooming habits, which can also contribute to skin issues. It's important to address any underlying mental health concerns and to practice good self-care to help manage and prevent skin issues. If you are experiencing skin problems, it's important to talk to your healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
Much relief after going through this stuff th-cam.com/users/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.

IM a diabetic.....MY FEET ALWAYS FEEL COLD AND NUMB....I always wear socks or slippers. This seems to help with this problem...Nothing else works...Also keep my nail clipped short.
Cold and numb feet can be a common symptom for people with diabetes. This is often due to poor circulation or nerve damage, which can be caused by high blood sugar levels over time. Wearing warm socks or slippers is a good way to help alleviate the discomfort caused by cold feet. It's also important to maintain good foot care practices, such as keeping nails trimmed short and avoiding tight-fitting shoes or socks that can restrict blood flow. It's important to also talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns you have regarding foot health, as they can help provide guidance on managing diabetes and preventing complications such as foot ulcers or infections. Additionally, keeping blood sugar levels under control through diet, exercise, and medication management can also help improve circulation and prevent further nerve damage.

It all started with #9. Back in 2013 I noticed that darker skin on the back of my neck. I scrubbed like hell for weeks thinking it was dirt. I was wrong. I should have never taken my type 2 diabetes lightly. IF YOU ARE PRE DIABETIC or if your family has a history of diabetes .. TAKE CARE OF Yourself.

How much do opiates affect the A1C test? I have had a A1C result of 6.7% once now but am on oxycodone daily, taking 30mg per day. Would the effect of the opiate on my A1C result be enough to have raised it from the prediabetes range (5.7%-6.4%) alone?
Thank you for your question. Opioids can affect various aspects of health, including blood glucose levels. However, it's not clear how much of an impact they would have on A1C test results specifically. It's best to speak with your doctor about the results of your A1C test and how it may be affected by any medications you're taking. They can provide you with personalized information and guidance on how to manage your condition effectively.
Granuloma annulare (GA) is a skin condition characterized by raised, ring-shaped or arc-shaped bumps on the skin. The exact cause of GA is not fully understood, and it is believed to be multifactorial. While the exact relationship between GA and diabetes is not clear, there is evidence to suggest a potential association between the two. Some studies have found a higher prevalence of granuloma annulare in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes compared to the general population. It is believed that high blood sugar levels and immune system dysfunction may play a role in the development of GA in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes. However, it's important to note that not all individuals with diabetes or prediabetes develop GA, and GA can also occur in individuals without diabetes. The relationship between GA and diabetes is complex and requires further research to fully understand. If you have concerns about GA or its potential connection to diabetes, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific condition and provide appropriate guidance and treatment options.

We understand your frustration with the challenges of accessing healthcare. However, it's important to prioritize your health and seek medical attention when necessary. You can try scheduling an appointment in advance or looking into telemedicine options, which may be more convenient and accessible for you.
Ya my wife got purple patches on her shins. Shin spots and the doctor say....it will go away n she hv to wait for her 3 monthly blood checks.....man what a useless uncaring doctor. They only care if there are money to be made for their expensive codeo morgage Sheeeesssh.
We're sorry to hear that your wife is going through this and that you've had a negative experience with her doctor. Purple patches on the skin, particularly on the shins, can sometimes be a sign of a skin condition called diabetic dermopathy, which is associated with diabetes. It's important for your wife to follow up with her doctor and discuss any concerns she may have. If she feels that her doctor is not providing adequate care, she may want to consider seeking a second opinion or finding a new doctor who will listen to her concerns.
I drink water all day and don’t eat much sugar I moisturize every day but still have dryness and itchy skin I’ve got celiac‘s disease it only gets bad when I eat the wrong foods so basically i can’t eat anything with gluten
It's great that you are staying hydrated and avoiding sugar. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes damage to the lining of the small intestine when gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, is consumed. It is possible that your dry and itchy skin may be related to your celiac disease. People with celiac disease may be at higher risk for developing skin conditions such as dermatitis herpetiformis, which causes itchy, blistering skin rashes. It is important to follow a strict gluten-free diet if you have celiac disease, as consuming gluten can trigger symptoms and further damage to the small intestine. You may want to consider seeing a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment of your dry and itchy skin. In addition to moisturizing, they may recommend topical medications or other treatments to help alleviate your symptoms.
We're sorry to hear that you're dealing with psoriasis. It can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition. There are many ways to manage psoriasis symptoms, and it's important to work with a dermatologist to find a treatment plan that works for you. In the meantime, you can try keeping your skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or cream, avoiding hot showers and baths, and using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. It may also be helpful to avoid triggers like stress, certain foods, and harsh skin products. Again, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
You can reverse your pre diabetes if you just eat only 1 meal every other day. Honestly we should just be eating to attain vitamins and nutrients. Its great if food taste amazing but we also need to be okay with food tasting bland like chicken breast and rice. Then on the weekends or during our leisure days, thats when we should cut loose and eat something more fat and carb heavy. Anything good will be an addiction. And food, which is a necessity, should not be an addiction.
This was a good video but, like most, does not address the cause or prevention of diabetes or any other so called "disease". Truth of the mater of good health and disease prevention is not a secret but, an economic inconvenience. For those who are serious about this ailment and have an open mind for an unbiased advice...get on keto diet!!! Fact of the mater is, sugar is not the actual culprit for diabetes, its insulin resistance due to constant sugar intake and constant eating and doctors do not check it until we've 'mysteriously' become diabetic. when, in reality, our bodies have taken decades to develop it....we've become slaves to food: we seem to live to eat and not eat to live... When the body develops diabetes, it is simply starving and cells, tissues and organs are slowly decaying from malnutrition because blood cells no longer accept insulin, which is a hormone that is to transport nutrients from digestive system to blood cells and hence, the entire body. Sugar is inflammatory and an oxidant and basically toxic as any other poison, with years of time-release. fat is not derived from eating fat, its actually from consuming carbohydrates....so slowly decrease and try eliminating all carbohydrates...aka: glucose and fructose: 1)nothing made from grains, wheats and cereals 2) nothing from corn 3) no rice 4) no legumes or beans 5) no potatoes 6) no fruits, juices or jams and 7) eliminate ALL vegetable oils and no milk. slowly switch to a more meat based/saturated fat diet without exaggeration but, eat until full and no snacking in between meals and fast as long as possible: work on having one meal a day or an eating window of 6-8hr only and fast outside this window. drink healthy electrolytes with no sugars: potassium, sodium, zinc, magnesium, calcium and chloro. 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs from leafy greens and salads and lots of olive oil, vinegar and avocados and go for serious long/fast walks and lower or eliminate alcohol as much as possible. work on controlling stress and sleep 6-8hrs, make friends, make love and be happy (get finances in order). Do not drink if not thirsty and do not eat if not hungry. If meat is not your thing then get your fats from: olive oil (lots), avocados and certain nuts (no peanuts, cashews or almonds). But, there is no substitute for eggs, bacon & steak!!! get your vitamins/minerals from natural food in your diet and not from a pill. garlic, onions & apple cider vinegar will do wonders. I know this is against the norm or "conventional wisdom", so do yourself a favor and try following suggestion for at least 14days....results will quickly be evident as they were for me Key words are: ketones & autophagy (many vids on utube), our bodies are a marvel that we do not appreciate. when the body is sick, the best medicine is to NOT eat so the natural healing process of autophagy can occur Since, above list practically includes all of the so called "good and healthy foods". Once you get your health back, you can occasionally treat yourself to one of items you do miss. it wont be as great an experience as you'll have hoped. just remember: the dose is the poison and there's no such thing as "healthy or natural sugars"...sugar is sugar, no mater the source: bread, pasta, pizza, apple or coke This is not to only cure diabetes but, will cure ANY & ALL physical or psychological disorders, from cancer to anxiety and from athletes foot to Alzheimer. If you're taking meds, this diet can eventually get you off of them all and so you can take control of your health and get life back....all meds have side effects which are undesirable! Use food as your medicine! Your health is your responsibility and no one else's. just food for thought
If one doesn't eat rice, potatoes, beans, wheat, cereal, no fruits, no vegetable oil or milk.....what then does one feed on? Give a practical example of what one would eat in 3dys pls?
Thanks for asking. Here is what I've been eating since the day after Xmass 2021: Eggs, bacon, sausages, fatty/lean meat, tuna, salmon, shrimp/sea food (dangers of cholesterol is a myth); lots of huge salads with: apple cider vinegar/lots of e.v. olive oil, onions, sauerkraut and dry/fresh seasoning & spices; boiled veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. All products are fresh, including meats, nothing from a can or a box. I use coarse sea salt for boiling veggies and fine sea salt for my cooking with lots of garlic. NO glucose, No fructose and absolutely no vegetable oils and no milk. There is much more to learn about for optimal health: Cassine A1(found in cow milk so, goat or buffalo milk/aged cheese is best), lectins (very bad for our organism and is found in many foods), glutens (in all carbs), oxalates ( in almonds and spinach). WARNING: if you have issues with blood sugar or diabetes, it's best to gradually switch to such diet while eliminating all carbs/fruits) as it may cause sudden drop in blood sugar, which may lead to some undesirable effects. So, gradually decrease portions and frequency of all carbs while increasing my suggested foods. It may take 1-3 weeks for digestive system to adapt to a high fat/low-carb diet but, including apple cider vinegar will help but, there's an array of other foods as well. I initially started with skipping breakfast, only black coffee with extremely little sugar. I stuck to 2 meals a day for about 1 month with no snacks. Then I started to gradually put off lunch or mid-day meal until I was able to merge it with dinner. And I currently consume one meal a day (OMAD). I am finally not a slave to food anymore! As I fast for about 20hrs a day and consume coffee, water and electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium and chloro), minerals will block apatite and sustain the body and cognitive functions. Sorry, if long winded but, I hope it all helps. Feel free to enquire further if you wish. But, honestly, I was simply sick and tired of being sick and tired and frustrated with medical system. I have stopped all meds, I am pain free (physically and psychologically) and I've lost 35lbs and have more energy than i did at 20yrs old. Nutrition is not something doctors learn, instead they have been taught to simply give meds for everything. So let food be thy medicine!!! Ciao

It's true that a diet high in processed foods and added sugars can increase the risk of developing diabetes and other health issues. However, it's important to note that a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices can help prevent and manage diabetes. It's never too late to make positive changes and prioritize your health.
What does diabetes under control mean. My GP thinks diabetes is a minor irrif 6.7otant that needs checking once a yr or so. My blood glucose level ranges from 5.5 to 19 with an A1C level of 6.7. Finding a new GP is close to impossible and takes years. My legs are badly swollen but not like say elephant tiases and they weap constantly. Most of my specialists think that the leg issue is cardio related.
Diabetes under control means that blood sugar levels are kept within a target range. This can help to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes complications, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and eye problems. Ideally, blood glucose levels should be within a target range recommended by your healthcare provider. Swollen legs and constant weeping can be a sign of a serious health condition, such as heart disease, kidney disease, or circulation problems. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the cause of your symptoms and to receive appropriate treatment. If you're not satisfied with the care you're receiving from your GP, it may be worth seeking a second opinion from another healthcare provider. You can also consider working with a registered dietitian or diabetes educator to help manage your blood sugar levels and develop a personalized plan for diabetes management.

I have been diagnosed pre diabetic 3 months ago. I have none of these problems but am working on my diet and exercise since.. cutting out refined sugar, junk foods and carbs.
Can we all just cover this man in prayer and thank God for him and what he's done! This is so informative and inspiring to hear that indeed these ailments can be improved and chucked out even.
We appreciate your support! It's important to spread awareness and share valuable information. We're glad you found the tips helpful. Let’s keep the conversation going!
I've always struggled with dry skin. Lately I've been using a lot more olive oil (Extra Virgin) in my food and my skin is so soft and smooth! I always have smoother skin when I am in the sun and swimming in the sea in summer, especially when I'm in Greece (a more humid climate is also part of it). I haven't been swimming or sunbathing yet this summer, so I've started to wonder if part of the reason for having such great skin when I'm in Greece is the olive oil in the food.
(Sorry, this isn't directly related to the topic - but I think it's more helpful than lotions etc. Heal from the inside!)
It's great to hear that you have noticed an improvement in your skin's texture and smoothness after increasing your consumption of olive oil. Olive oil is known for its beneficial properties for skin health, both when applied topically and consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Olive oil is rich in healthy fats, such as monounsaturated fats and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. These properties can help nourish the skin and support its natural barrier function, keeping it hydrated and protected from external stressors.
While the exact impact of olive oil consumption on skin health may vary from person to person, incorporating healthy fats into your diet, such as olive oil, can have overall benefits for your skin and overall well-being. It's important to note that maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, protecting your skin from sun damage, and practicing good skincare habits all contribute to healthy skin.
If you have specific concerns about your skin or want to explore further dietary and lifestyle changes to support skin health, consulting with a dermatologist or a registered dietitian can provide personalized recommendations.
I too drink extra virgin olive oil,cold pressed and organic if possible.im Italian and my parents always used it so I as least have as well.im 60 yrs old and have been told I look like I'm in my 40s.i drink about 4 or 5 tablespoons a day it's also good to avoid blood sugar spikes as fat is great for that.
After eating healthier for about 1.5 years, the skin tags under my armpits fell off! I had them for 2 or 3 decades, and I certainly did not expect that to happen. I hope my experience will give people hope that they can improve their metabolic health by making positive lifestyle changes.
Wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration!
Hi what foods did you eat and what foods did you cut out. Thank you
@@davidmoore2308 When I started my journey, I had OMAD, one meal a day for about 2 months. I only ate an omelette with some mixed vegetables. I walked/ran 5 miles a day. Most of my diabetes symptoms disappeared within 10 week, and I lost about 40 pounds. Now, if I were to do this again, I would not go so extreme. I will do 2 meals a day with low carb. Well, hindsight is 20/20.
@@watcherworld5873 hello I'm prediabetic what did you do to heal yourself can you please send me info on what you did, I have under skin tags too, would like to know so mine can fall off plus be healed.
Don't know if you got my reply my screen went to an ad but please send me info on what foods or not that you ate. Thank you.
I am a diabetic and have alot of these symptoms. I have changed my lifestyle since I have the Dexcom System. I am currently off 2 kinds of insulin and have my A1C at 5.2. It was 11.4 just 2 years ago. I work hard at my intake of carbs. I still eat a cookie occasionally but one. Not 3 or 4. I love fruit but limit the amount and usually eat it for breakfast so I can work it off as the day goes. It's all about changing my eating habits that's helped me. I do understand that this isn't the case for everyone though.
Congratulations on your incredible progress in managing your diabetes and improving your A1C! It's wonderful to hear that you have successfully changed your lifestyle and have been able to reduce your insulin usage. Your dedication to managing your carb intake and making conscious choices like limiting cookie consumption and incorporating fruit in a strategic manner is commendable. Every individual's journey with diabetes is unique, and it's great that you have found what works best for you. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for sharing your experience! 😊👍
Try taking Cinculin (Costco)
Try to listen to so called "insulin goddess" about order of food that should be eaten. Btw one can cure diabetes with the diet changes
I am almost in month 7 on carnivore. My A1C has dropped down to 7 down from double digits . I am hopeful for a great Christmas with my A1C under 6! I am ever so grateful for your videos. These have saved my life.
That’s amazing progress! Congrats on lowering your A1C your hard work is paying off. Wishing you continued success and an A1C under 6 by Christmas! So glad the videos have been helpful for you. Keep it up!"
I have three of these symptoms. I showed them to my provider and she did not mention diabetes as the cause. General practitioners, MD's, nurse practitioners and all other medical professionals should be aware of these signs and at least give the patient an a1c test for diabetes. Great video, very informative. 👍
They can't or don't know. That's why is a lot of cases point a doesn't tell point b. I suggest you write down EVERYTHING YOU DO ATHLETICALLY AND OTHERWISE LEAVE OUT INTIMACY IF YOU CHOSE. EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD, P.S. DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF, NEVER MIND DOC. THEY ALREADY KNOW. WRITE IN DIARY OR NOTEBOOK. BUT ONLY MEDICAL IN DETAIL AS WELL AS EVERY MORSEL OF FOOD INCLUDING JUNK FOOD, ALCOHOL, CAFFEINE INCLUDED AND AS MUCH AS YOU CHOOSE TO DIVULGE. THEY WILL KNOW EITHER WAY. I DONT KNOW IF I SUGGESTED BUT DO SO ALSO TIMES WHEN U EAT. I KNOW IT'S A PAIN BUT IMPORTANT. SORRY IF I'M REPETITIOUS BUT IMPORTANT FOR YOU.
I agree absolutely.My Doctor started sending me to specialist after specialist.I requested certain blood tests only to be brushed off.Its difficult when you're not being listened to or taken serious about your health.

But thank you anyway.
You have a good day.
Thank you for the information which my doctor did not tell me about nor did he look at my skin. One doctor told me it was from old age and at the time I was only 36 years old. Now I know it was from pre-diabetes. I did not know what that was. I do now because I am diabetic now. Back then I wish I had studied this more. Thank you.
Yup yup. If the doc strongly advise you to cut off sugar n eat healthy who knows you may not be diabetic.
There must be a law to mark these uncaring doctors but alas no.
You can still turn it around, by cutting down carbs to about 25g of carbs per day, down load a carb counter or just look at the packets before you eat, just be very careful near anything white bread or diet ryvitas, small amount of apples like half of one, but the best are strawberries raspberries or blueberries, very low carbs.
I’ve been using Freestyle Libre 1 blood glucose sensors for many years which transformed my glucose levels being Type 1 diabetic for 25 years. I’m now on Freestyle 2 sensors and now permanently in the green. I’m now moving onto Freestyle 3 which is approved in the US and UK and monitors blood glucose every minute. Readings are sent to your phone or small monitor. So far I’m completely free of Diabetic issues such as neuropathy or the issues in this video. I’m 66 now. All now free on the NHS in the UK.
The Freestyle Libre blood glucose sensors can be life-changing for people with diabetes, allowing for more accurate monitoring. It's great that technology is advancing to help people with diabetes live healthier lives.
ISNT IT FOR INSULIN ONLY? I take pills.

Almost nine years ago I went to my primary care physician with a itchy rash on my thighs along with cramping of my leg muscles. He referred me to a dermatologist. That doctor prescribed an ointment to treat the rash.
About 6 months later I had an infection in my foot. A surgical procedure was needed and was successful. It was determined that it was caused by uncontrollable diabetes.
Neither of these doctors understood the symptoms that I had. There were numerous signs that to a knowledgeable doctor should have known the possibility of diabetes. A simple blood sugar test could have shed some light on my illness. Neither doctor asked or checked that.
After reading numerous postings on this chat it is bothersome that these and other doctors are giving bad medical advise and treatment.
We're sorry to hear about your experience, and it's unfortunate that your symptoms and potential diabetes were not recognized earlier by the healthcare professionals you consulted. It's important for doctors to consider and investigate various possibilities when patients present with symptoms, especially if there are indications pointing towards a specific condition.
While medical professionals strive to provide accurate advice and treatment, it's crucial to remember that medicine is a complex field, and misdiagnoses or oversights can occur. It's always a good idea to seek a second opinion if you have concerns or if your symptoms persist.
Remember that open communication with your healthcare provider is key. Sharing your concerns, symptoms, and medical history can help them make informed decisions and provide appropriate care. Additionally, staying informed about your own health and educating yourself about potential conditions can empower you to advocate for your well-being.
@@DiabeticsTalk What bothers me most is that the very obvious signs that I was exhibiting were not noticed. In my late 50’s, obesity, rashes, discolored skin and skin tags. A blood sugar reading and an A1 test were never requested. I believe that a specialist such as a Dermatologist should have recognized the signs I was showing.
Thank you for your advice. I do read and research health information more than I used too.
Follow the rules. Correct weight along with a healthy diet. Blood pressure monitoring, alcohol consumption control, exercise, sleep and you’ll be your best advocate and role model. Until a magic pill for STRESS is invented, try to cut your stress levels. Make love, not war with your partner and drink huge amounts of water.
I like this video it's more informative and more complete than most videos thank you
Thank you for providing such an excellent review. Many medical doctors need to view this!
I am a type 2 diabetic and I have a really bad rash all over my body that is itchy and painful at times. I have been to my doctor and seen two different doctors but they just keep giving me different creams and tablets to stop the itching which don’t do anything. They haven’t even mentioned about it being my diabetes and the last doctor I saw 5 days ago and has referred me to a skin clinic that has a long waiting list. I am reaching the end of my tether. I feel as if they aren’t listening to me and certainly aren’t trying to help me.
We're sorry to hear about your frustrating experience. Skin issues can sometimes be related to underlying conditions such as diabetes. While we're not a healthcare professional, we can offer some general suggestions that may be helpful:
Communicate your concerns: Make sure to clearly express your symptoms, concerns, and the impact they're having on your daily life to your healthcare provider. Ask them directly about the potential link between your diabetes and the skin issues you're experiencing.
Seek a second opinion: If you feel your current doctors aren't addressing your concerns adequately, consider seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may have a fresh perspective or different treatment options to consider.
Maintain good diabetes management: Ensure you're actively managing your diabetes by following your prescribed treatment plan, including medication, diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring. Good diabetes control can help improve overall health, including skin health.
Practice good skin hygiene: Keep your skin clean and moisturized to prevent dryness and irritation. Avoid scratching or rubbing the affected areas, as it can worsen the condition. Use mild, fragrance-free skincare products and avoid harsh chemicals or irritants.
Consider lifestyle factors: Pay attention to any potential triggers or irritants that could be exacerbating your symptoms, such as certain fabrics, soaps, or environmental factors. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, may also contribute to overall skin health.
Remember, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and provide appropriate guidance and treatment options.

Lucky me. I am a septuagenarian and my Dr has told me for years that I am pre-diabetic but not to worry as long as I don't over do sweets.. I like sweets, but feel I do not overdue my consumption of them. After seeing this scary video, I can be happy to announce that I have yet never displayed any of the symptoms shown. PTL. Thanks.
Yep, I am dumping my current PC doc…btw, Aveeno is wonderful
Let's hope you don't I'm saddened you still eat sweets a bit silly don't you think........
@@beahemple611 A bit silly that you’re telling another person that you don’t know what’s silly in their diet, don’t you think?
@@BetterMe981 wow you're dense
Im in same position, 65 years old , was told i was pre-diabetic 9 years ago. So far i have held steady, but im working on losing weight ((10 lbs so far) restricting sweets and more exercise. I dont want to push my luck. And i have witnessed what healthy eating can do. If only vegetables didn't taste like...vegetables.
I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 15 years. I was diagnosed when I was still a child. My blood sugar was 539 and I only weighed 55lbs. I was an hour away from a coma and a week away from death. Luckily my dad took me to the doctor twice and forced them to get blood work done. He saved my life. I used to do competitive sports and actually had a seizure from low blood sugar after 8 hours of gymnastics. Needless to say I changed my career path from an athlete to an artist and musician because of my condition. I hope people understand that autoimmune conditions are certainly not a joking matter. Thanks for the video.

If you live in an area that is very dry you may have dryer skin so keeping a close watch on your skin will be very important
like USA, always dry, worst in winter
This information is so informative I have learnt so many things in one day.
Glad it was helpful!
Congrats for this clear information. Many doctors and vlogs beat about the bush and don t show us diabetics these so common symptoms as well those for insulin overdosis.-
Glad to be of help!
I’m a type one for over 31 years. Never had these symptoms.
It's all the American processed foods it's doing this s***
Hey guys
You can use the bark from the Richeria Grandis or Bois Bande tree to remedy this.
Thanks for sharing! We'll do our best to learn more about this bark. While there are various natural remedies and traditional practices that people may use for different conditions, it's important to approach them with caution, especially when it comes to managing diabetes and associated skin complications. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist who specializes in diabetes care before trying any new treatments or remedies. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the approach.
I blend raw garlic the whole bub I mix it with water and I add this mixture to a water bottle, and I shake this mixture together. I drink it down throughout the day. This can help with sugar and blood pressure. Garlic purifies the blood.
My father did this and he smelled like garlic all the time. raw garlic does not smell good at all once it is in your skin. Besides don't you have to worry about garlic eating a hole in your stomach? Which is not good and leads to other problems.
Ridiculous.
I prefer to wear a garlic costume, which I rent from a local theatrical supplier. It’s sometimes a struggle getting on the bus, but I manage.
Bet you wouldn't say that if you were to notice two puncture marks on your neck one morning.
@juliejen2605 I'd love to see a video of this
Great video , I suffered from Vasculitis Purpura for 5 years , controlling what eat I got rid of it but still suffering once in a while from rashes and red patches.
Tks to your video I will Ck my insulin levels , that may be it
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome! We're glad the video was helpful for you. It's important to stay vigilant and keep an eye on your insulin levels, as well as continue to make healthy food choices to manage your symptoms. If you have any concerns, be sure to speak with your doctor for guidance.
Waste of time trying to tell a doctor anything at the moment in Uk…even an ambulance is a problem!

I am type 2, i use Libre3 to monitor my glucose. i been drinking the mixture of one lemon and half of the cucumber, add water and blend it, use 1/2 gallon for your mixture, put in the fridge. Everytime i drink i add 1/3 cup of diet tea drink for my sweetener, i drink it anytime of the day and before bedtime too. My glucose is between 95 to 120.

Good information..thanks for sharing
I was recently informed 1.5 years ago I have type 2 diabetes; the 1st reason I seen the doctor was because on the sides of my feet is dark or bruised looking and on the lower leg near the ankle circle red with dry skin. So recently the red dry skin went away near the ankle... I still have these dark purple skin mark on the side of my feet and I guess that is scares damage skin from when my diabetes was out of control. But I am still worried but my doctor told me not to worry. All I know is to greatly reduce simple carbs (sugar etc) and take my meds for now. I worry 1 day I might have to amputate my feet, I sure hope not. Amputation occurs if you get an foot ulcer and get a infection that doesn't heal then you get gangrene black feet then have to amputate to stay a live.
We understand that receiving a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes can be a difficult and overwhelming experience. It's great that you are taking steps to manage your condition by reducing simple carbs and taking your prescribed medications. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider and attend regular check-ups to monitor your blood sugar levels and manage any complications that may arise.
Regarding the dark purple skin marks on the sides of your feet, they could be caused by skin damage from uncontrolled diabetes, but it's best to have them examined by a healthcare provider to determine the cause and whether any further treatment is needed. Remember that taking steps to manage your diabetes can help reduce your risk of complications, including foot ulcers and amputations. This includes maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress levels, and staying up to date with medical appointments and check-ups. Keep up the good work in managing your diabetes, and don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider with any concerns or questions.
Dry skin and lesions could be many things most commonly Eczema or Psoriasis and very, very rarely potentially fatal skin disorders like Mycosis Fungoides .
Yup, and there's 1 picture they show looks like Herpes.
Rather preach this to the 48GP's, 2 physicians (internists), 2 dermatologists and top oncologist that didn't even consider the nine different skin conditions as related possibly to diabetes. I am up in arms about the lamentable ignorance of medical "professionals" who cannot even diagnose diabetes over a period of 35-40 years. The ineptitude cries to heaven.

I have a lot of the skin infections shown in the video. Going to make an appointment with doctor tomorrow. I may have diabetes but didn’t know it.
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing skin infections, but I'm glad to hear that you're taking action by making an appointment with your doctor. It's important to get a proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect you may have diabetes. Best of luck at your appointment tomorrow.
I highly rate this video as excellent
These problems only happen when you are not eating the right foods and ignore your warning signs
I had dry patches on my scalp. Gone since I've been on meds. Lost weight, too. Not Ozempic. Metformin.
We're glad to hear that your dry patches on your scalp have improved since you started taking Metformin, and that you've also experienced weight loss. Metformin is a commonly prescribed medication for managing diabetes, and it can be effective for improving blood sugar control and aiding in weight loss. It's important to continue to work with your healthcare provider to monitor your blood sugar levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
It’s hard to distinguish between some of those symptoms caused by diabetes and changes in the skin caused by changes in the colon
It's true that some symptoms of diabetes, such as skin changes, can overlap with symptoms of other conditions, including changes in the colon. It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to properly diagnose and manage any health concerns you may have. They can perform necessary tests and evaluations to determine the root cause of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Don't hesitate to bring up any concerns or questions you may have during your appointments.
I have a lot of symptoms… legs gets díscolored, I’m ALWAYS tired, I pee almost every hour, I sweat like CRAZY, I get hunger pains/dizzy spells… last pee test showed sugar in the urine, I was 1 number away from being in the pre-diabetic bracket… but the doctors sorta ignore it saying “I’m young health and not too heavy set have some snack and drink water” and that I shouldn’t worry😑… I swear doctors now a days wait for you to become severely ill to fully check anything.. and even then after they’ll just try to give you some antibiotics/pain meds/nausea pills and that’s it… 😑 the people want to PREVENT anything serious we’re not there to chitchat and waste your time…
It sounds really frustrating to feel unheard, especially with those symptoms. Your health is a priority, and it’s important to advocate for yourself. Consider seeking a second opinion or discussing your concerns more directly with your doctor. You deserve thorough care.
MY LEG HAS DEVELOPED A BLISTER LIKE WOUND THAT GOT WORSE WHEN I PUT A CLOTHE BANDAID ON. I HAD BEEN USING PEROXIDE ON IT THAT HELPED IT PRETTY GOOD BUT IT WOULD LEAK YELLOW DROPS THAT WOULD HARDEN. SO I BEGAN WASHING IT IN THE BATH TUB WITH DIAL BAR SOAP. THEN I GOT SOME AQUAPHOR ( FOUND IN THE BABY OINTMENT SECTION ) AND TREATED IT WITH THAT, I USED THE THINNEST KOTEX I COULD FIND AND LAYED THAT OVER IT AND USE COMPRESSION SOCKS TO HOLD ITI IN PLACE CHANGING IT 3 TIMES A DAY. NOW IT NO LONGER LEAKS BUT IF I LEAVE IT TO AIR OUT IT WILL AGAIN GET YELLOW DROPS OF GROSS. SO IM KEEPING IT WRAPPED AS I HAVE SAID AND ILL SEE THE DR ON THE 3 OF FEB. USING THAT OINTMENT HAS MADE SUCH A NICE DIFFERENCE AS ITS GOING AWAY. I DO HAVE ALOT OF ITCHING BUT ITS HEALING ITCH.
We hope everything goes well for you! 💗

So nice of you!
I think this is helpful in diagnosing diabetes, and in knowing when to see a doctor, but how about reversing diabetes instead of just addressing the symptoms of these skin conditions? Reverse insulin resistance and diabetes and these symptoms either decrease or go away altogether. Diabetes can and should be reversed altogether, not just managed!
Intermitted fasting?
@@everydayeveryday982 - yea, lower carb eating and intermittent fasting definitely help. Dr. Jason Fung and his business partner, Megan Ramos have been able to get some diabetics off all their meds in a matter or days or weeks. Of, course, it depends on how insulin resistant the person is, etc., but people need to know that Type 2 can be reversed and that Type 1 can decrease insulin immensely. Plus, Type 3 or Alzheimers can either be prevented or diminished by a lower carb diet.
The majority of doctors would disagree, but I support your views. Maybe as I'm no doctor.
@@Afriqueleblanq - the majority of doctors have little to no nutrition training, so those are some of the last people I would be asking about this. Not to mention, the treatment they consistently put Type 2 diabetics on, insulin, only makes diabetes worse, as it’s an issue of too much insulin. Um, let’s see, this person already has too much insulin in their body, but let’s give them more. Brilliant - not!
@@LauraB.335 48 GP's, 2 internists, 2 dermatologists and 1 oncologist all didn't see I was diabetic. One doctor thought one's adenoids were located in the chin. As they clearly cannot diagnose, all I need is their script, not their opinion.
i have a roundish red 'mark" on my lower tum, it doesn't itch, flake or hurt..it isnt dry its just there ! its most like pink in colour...any ideas? when i first spotted it i thought it was a scald! but no...had it a few months now
Edema can be an internal infection, which can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. I had that once and it went away. I haven't had any swelling since.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that antibiotics helped with your edema. Always important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
Any remedies for the skins problem and how to treatment skins conditions to help get better soon.
The treatment and management of skin conditions can vary depending on the specific condition and its underlying cause. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. However, here are some general remedies and practices that may help improve skin health:
Keep the skin clean: Maintain good hygiene by regularly cleansing the affected areas with mild, non-irritating cleansers. Avoid harsh soaps and hot water, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and exacerbate certain conditions.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Look for products specifically designed for your skin type or condition.
Avoid irritants: Identify and avoid triggers or irritants that may worsen your skin condition. This can include certain fabrics, chemicals, fragrances, or skincare products that cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Protect from the sun: Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by using sunscreen with a high SPF, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade when the sun is strongest. This is particularly important for individuals with photosensitive skin conditions.
Use topical treatments: Depending on the skin condition, your doctor may prescribe or recommend topical medications, such as corticosteroids, antifungal creams, or antibacterial ointments, to reduce inflammation, control infections, or manage specific symptoms.
Practice good skincare habits: Maintain a consistent skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating (if recommended by your healthcare professional) to promote healthy skin.
Avoid scratching: If you experience itchiness, try to resist the urge to scratch, as it can worsen inflammation and lead to skin damage or infections. Instead, use cool compresses, apply anti-itch creams, or consult your healthcare professional for appropriate remedies.
Manage stress: Stress can sometimes exacerbate certain skin conditions. Engaging in stress-reducing activities, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies, may help improve overall skin health.
Remember, these general recommendations may not be suitable for all skin conditions, and it's important to seek professional advice for proper diagnosis and personalized treatment. Your healthcare professional will consider your specific condition, medical history, and individual needs to provide appropriate guidance and recommendations.

A pediatric endocrinologist is the best type of doctor to consult for a child with diabetes. Pediatric endocrinologists are medical doctors who specialize in treating children and adolescents with diabetes, as well as other endocrine disorders. They have special training in the care of children and understand the unique challenges that can come with managing diabetes in children. They will be able to provide comprehensive care for your child, including prescribing insulin and other medications, monitoring blood sugar levels, and providing nutrition and exercise guidance. They will also work closely with other members of your child's healthcare team, such as a diabetes educator and a dietitian, to ensure that your child receives the best possible care.

We're glad to hear that you found the information in the video helpful. It's important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of diabetes and to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. If you have noticed any symptoms, it's a good idea to bring them up with your doctor and discuss if further testing or lifestyle changes are needed. Making lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity, improving diet quality, and managing stress, can have a significant impact on managing diabetes and improving overall health. Your healthcare provider can help you develop a plan that works for you.

Are there any otherconditions y could talk about
Trying to tell doctors anything anywhere they get hurt and refuse to listen to you. If they agree with your finding they won't have a good attitude. Best to just act dumb and ask "what could it be Doctor?" Otherwise you'll walk out with a mental health dr appointment too. They all share kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies.
We understand that it can be frustrating when healthcare providers do not listen to or take seriously the concerns and input of their patients. However, it is important to note that most doctors are committed to providing the best care possible for their patients and take their oath to "do no harm" seriously. It's also important to maintain open and honest communication with your healthcare provider and to advocate for yourself in a respectful manner. While there may be conflicts of interest in the healthcare industry, including those related to pharmaceutical companies, it is important to remember that not all healthcare providers engage in unethical behavior and that many are dedicated to providing quality care to their patients.

It's never too late to make positive changes to your health, and it's great to hear that you are taking steps to address your pre-diabetes.

Remember to also consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. Keep up the good work!

Could anxiety or depression cause some of these skin issues?
Yes, anxiety and depression can cause or exacerbate certain skin issues. When we experience stress or anxiety, our bodies release stress hormones such as cortisol, which can have a negative impact on the skin. This can cause or worsen a range of skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea. Additionally, depression can often lead to changes in personal hygiene and grooming habits, which can also contribute to skin issues. It's important to address any underlying mental health concerns and to practice good self-care to help manage and prevent skin issues. If you are experiencing skin problems, it's important to talk to your healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.

IM a diabetic.....MY FEET ALWAYS FEEL COLD AND NUMB....I always wear socks or slippers. This seems to help with this problem...Nothing else works...Also keep my nail clipped short.
Cold and numb feet can be a common symptom for people with diabetes. This is often due to poor circulation or nerve damage, which can be caused by high blood sugar levels over time.
Wearing warm socks or slippers is a good way to help alleviate the discomfort caused by cold feet. It's also important to maintain good foot care practices, such as keeping nails trimmed short and avoiding tight-fitting shoes or socks that can restrict blood flow.
It's important to also talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns you have regarding foot health, as they can help provide guidance on managing diabetes and preventing complications such as foot ulcers or infections. Additionally, keeping blood sugar levels under control through diet, exercise, and medication management can also help improve circulation and prevent further nerve damage.

Just go to your doctor and ask to be tested for diabetes. Then you won't have to be paranoid about skin conditions.
It all started with #9. Back in 2013 I noticed that darker skin on the back of my neck. I scrubbed like hell for weeks thinking it was dirt. I was wrong. I should have never taken my type 2 diabetes lightly.

How much do opiates affect the A1C test? I have had a A1C result of 6.7% once now but am on oxycodone daily, taking 30mg per day. Would the effect of the opiate on my A1C result be enough to have raised it from the prediabetes range (5.7%-6.4%) alone?
Thank you for your question. Opioids can affect various aspects of health, including blood glucose levels. However, it's not clear how much of an impact they would have on A1C test results specifically. It's best to speak with your doctor about the results of your A1C test and how it may be affected by any medications you're taking. They can provide you with personalized information and guidance on how to manage your condition effectively.

What about GA. Granuloma Annulare? Is pre-diabetes or diabetes a cause for that?
Granuloma annulare (GA) is a skin condition characterized by raised, ring-shaped or arc-shaped bumps on the skin. The exact cause of GA is not fully understood, and it is believed to be multifactorial. While the exact relationship between GA and diabetes is not clear, there is evidence to suggest a potential association between the two.
Some studies have found a higher prevalence of granuloma annulare in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes compared to the general population. It is believed that high blood sugar levels and immune system dysfunction may play a role in the development of GA in individuals with diabetes or prediabetes.
However, it's important to note that not all individuals with diabetes or prediabetes develop GA, and GA can also occur in individuals without diabetes. The relationship between GA and diabetes is complex and requires further research to fully understand.
If you have concerns about GA or its potential connection to diabetes, it is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific condition and provide appropriate guidance and treatment options.

More chance of winning the lottery than seeing a doctor
We understand your frustration with the challenges of accessing healthcare. However, it's important to prioritize your health and seek medical attention when necessary. You can try scheduling an appointment in advance or looking into telemedicine options, which may be more convenient and accessible for you.
Ya my wife got purple patches on her shins. Shin spots and the doctor say....it will go away n she hv to wait for her 3 monthly blood checks.....man what a useless uncaring doctor. They only care if there are money to be made for their expensive codeo morgage
Sheeeesssh.
We're sorry to hear that your wife is going through this and that you've had a negative experience with her doctor. Purple patches on the skin, particularly on the shins, can sometimes be a sign of a skin condition called diabetic dermopathy, which is associated with diabetes.
It's important for your wife to follow up with her doctor and discuss any concerns she may have. If she feels that her doctor is not providing adequate care, she may want to consider seeking a second opinion or finding a new doctor who will listen to her concerns.
I drink water all day and don’t eat much sugar I moisturize every day but still have dryness and itchy skin I’ve got celiac‘s disease it only gets bad when I eat the wrong foods so basically i can’t eat anything with gluten
It's great that you are staying hydrated and avoiding sugar. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition that causes damage to the lining of the small intestine when gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, is consumed. It is possible that your dry and itchy skin may be related to your celiac disease. People with celiac disease may be at higher risk for developing skin conditions such as dermatitis herpetiformis, which causes itchy, blistering skin rashes.
It is important to follow a strict gluten-free diet if you have celiac disease, as consuming gluten can trigger symptoms and further damage to the small intestine. You may want to consider seeing a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment of your dry and itchy skin. In addition to moisturizing, they may recommend topical medications or other treatments to help alleviate your symptoms.
Eucerin and Gold Bond make really good lotions. Try coconut oil too.
Try battery powered socks or a heated mattress cover.
I have psoriasis which is dry, itchy, flaky skin.
We're sorry to hear that you're dealing with psoriasis. It can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition. There are many ways to manage psoriasis symptoms, and it's important to work with a dermatologist to find a treatment plan that works for you. In the meantime, you can try keeping your skin moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion or cream, avoiding hot showers and baths, and using a humidifier to add moisture to the air. It may also be helpful to avoid triggers like stress, certain foods, and harsh skin products. Again, we recommend consulting with a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
I'm on Humira. I just wanted to point out that some of the symptoms here may not be diabetic related.
wonderful
You can reverse your pre diabetes if you just eat only 1 meal every other day. Honestly we should just be eating to attain vitamins and nutrients. Its great if food taste amazing but we also need to be okay with food tasting bland like chicken breast and rice. Then on the weekends or during our leisure days, thats when we should cut loose and eat something more fat and carb heavy. Anything good will be an addiction. And food, which is a necessity, should not be an addiction.
Thankyou..❤️
Always welcome!
Good infro

This was a good video but, like most, does not address the cause or prevention of diabetes or any other so called "disease". Truth of the mater of good health and disease prevention is not a secret but, an economic inconvenience. For those who are serious about this ailment and have an open mind for an unbiased advice...get on keto diet!!!
Fact of the mater is, sugar is not the actual culprit for diabetes, its insulin resistance due to constant sugar intake and constant eating and doctors do not check it until we've 'mysteriously' become diabetic. when, in reality, our bodies have taken decades to develop it....we've become slaves to food: we seem to live to eat and not eat to live...
When the body develops diabetes, it is simply starving and cells, tissues and organs are slowly decaying from malnutrition because blood cells no longer accept insulin, which is a hormone that is to transport nutrients from digestive system to blood cells and hence, the entire body. Sugar is inflammatory and an oxidant and basically toxic as any other poison, with years of time-release. fat is not derived from eating fat, its actually from consuming carbohydrates....so
slowly decrease and try eliminating all carbohydrates...aka: glucose and fructose: 1)nothing made from grains, wheats and cereals 2) nothing from corn 3) no rice 4) no legumes or beans 5) no potatoes 6) no fruits, juices or jams and 7) eliminate ALL vegetable oils and no milk. slowly switch to a more meat based/saturated fat diet without exaggeration but, eat until full and no snacking in between meals and fast as long as possible: work on having one meal a day or an eating window of 6-8hr only and fast outside this window. drink healthy electrolytes with no sugars: potassium, sodium, zinc, magnesium, calcium and chloro. 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs from leafy greens and salads and lots of olive oil, vinegar and avocados and go for serious long/fast walks and lower or eliminate alcohol as much as possible. work on controlling stress and sleep 6-8hrs, make friends, make love and be happy (get finances in order). Do not drink if not thirsty and do not eat if not hungry. If meat is not your thing then get your fats from: olive oil (lots), avocados and certain nuts (no peanuts, cashews or almonds). But, there is no substitute for eggs, bacon & steak!!! get your vitamins/minerals from natural food in your diet and not from a pill. garlic, onions & apple cider vinegar will do wonders. I know this is against the norm or "conventional wisdom", so do yourself a favor and try following suggestion for at least 14days....results will quickly be evident as they were for me
Key words are: ketones & autophagy (many vids on utube), our bodies are a marvel that we do not appreciate. when the body is sick, the best medicine is to NOT eat so the natural healing process of autophagy can occur
Since, above list practically includes all of the so called "good and healthy foods". Once you get your health back, you can occasionally treat yourself to one of items you do miss. it wont be as great an experience as you'll have hoped. just remember: the dose is the poison and there's no such thing as "healthy or natural sugars"...sugar is sugar, no mater the source: bread, pasta, pizza, apple or coke
This is not to only cure diabetes but, will cure ANY & ALL physical or psychological disorders, from cancer to anxiety and from athletes foot to Alzheimer. If you're taking meds, this diet can eventually get you off of them all and so you can take control of your health and get life back....all meds have side effects which are undesirable!
Use food as your medicine! Your health is your responsibility and no one else's.
just food for thought
Thankyou so much! I have been moving in this direction, know a lot of what you mentioned, but, still learning so THANKYOU!
If one doesn't eat rice, potatoes, beans, wheat, cereal, no fruits, no vegetable oil or milk.....what then does one feed on? Give a practical example of what one would eat in 3dys pls?
Thanks for asking. Here is what I've been eating since the day after Xmass 2021: Eggs, bacon, sausages, fatty/lean meat, tuna, salmon, shrimp/sea food (dangers of cholesterol is a myth); lots of huge salads with: apple cider vinegar/lots of e.v. olive oil, onions, sauerkraut and dry/fresh seasoning & spices; boiled veggies: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, bok choy, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. All products are fresh, including meats, nothing from a can or a box. I use coarse sea salt for boiling veggies and fine sea salt for my cooking with lots of garlic. NO glucose, No fructose and absolutely no vegetable oils and no milk. There is much more to learn about for optimal health: Cassine A1(found in cow milk so, goat or buffalo milk/aged cheese is best), lectins (very bad for our organism and is found in many foods), glutens (in all carbs), oxalates ( in almonds and spinach). WARNING: if you have issues with blood sugar or diabetes, it's best to gradually switch to such diet while eliminating all carbs/fruits) as it may cause sudden drop in blood sugar, which may lead to some undesirable effects. So, gradually decrease portions and frequency of all carbs while increasing my suggested foods. It may take 1-3 weeks for digestive system to adapt to a high fat/low-carb diet but, including apple cider vinegar will help but, there's an array of other foods as well. I initially started with skipping breakfast, only black coffee with extremely little sugar. I stuck to 2 meals a day for about 1 month with no snacks. Then I started to gradually put off lunch or mid-day meal until I was able to merge it with dinner. And I currently consume one meal a day (OMAD). I am finally not a slave to food anymore! As I fast for about 20hrs a day and consume coffee, water and electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium and chloro), minerals will block apatite and sustain the body and cognitive functions. Sorry, if long winded but, I hope it all helps. Feel free to enquire further if you wish. But, honestly, I was simply sick and tired of being sick and tired and frustrated with medical system. I have stopped all meds, I am pain free (physically and psychologically) and I've lost 35lbs and have more energy than i did at 20yrs old. Nutrition is not something doctors learn, instead they have been taught to simply give meds for everything. So let food be thy medicine!!! Ciao

Great video.
Glad you think so!
Thank you American processed foods
Yep, and it 3 or 4 fast food joints on every corner!
It's true that a diet high in processed foods and added sugars can increase the risk of developing diabetes and other health issues. However, it's important to note that a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices can help prevent and manage diabetes. It's never too late to make positive changes and prioritize your health.
This is a very scary video! I wish I had seen it years ago.
What does diabetes under control mean. My GP thinks diabetes is a minor irrif 6.7otant that needs checking once a yr or so. My blood glucose level ranges from 5.5 to 19 with an A1C level of 6.7. Finding a new GP is close to impossible and takes years. My legs are badly swollen but not like say elephant tiases and they weap constantly. Most of my specialists think that the leg issue is cardio related.
Diabetes under control means that blood sugar levels are kept within a target range. This can help to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes complications, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and eye problems.
Ideally, blood glucose levels should be within a target range recommended by your healthcare provider.
Swollen legs and constant weeping can be a sign of a serious health condition, such as heart disease, kidney disease, or circulation problems. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the cause of your symptoms and to receive appropriate treatment.
If you're not satisfied with the care you're receiving from your GP, it may be worth seeking a second opinion from another healthcare provider. You can also consider working with a registered dietitian or diabetes educator to help manage your blood sugar levels and develop a personalized plan for diabetes management.
ouch, lucky i don't have those...

@@DiabeticsTalk thank you so much, will check these out. X
Dear Snapdragon. There are many videos on how to reverse diabetes. Keto diet is one of the options.
Ask your doctor for a referral to a diabetic nutritionist. I think insurance might cover that.
@@americafirst9144 Thank you, we are in Uk so not sure if this is available on NHS, will ask Dr.
