Half the world is poor but it seems western society is overfed but under nourished. Food needs to be viewed as a medicine and nourishment for our bodies. Bless you because you are a caring doctor.
Bless his heart for speaking truthfully l am 94: with mild HBP take one pill a day. I eat good natural food. Exercise every day So
That’s the way to go. This dear young man is trying to help you SO
Please” listen to him And enjoy your life It. Can be done easier,than
You think. And make your life more enjoyable it works. Hk
Thank you, Dr. Dhand. I live in the Caribbean and luckily my new doctor is from India and he explained the same words you shared. He told me it could be reversed, and if I wanted the meds, he would prescribe it, but he gave me the option and info to reverse it, do intermittent fasting, etc. Lose weight, diet.etc. I'm so grateful for doctors like you guys.
The world is based on lies. It makes me terribly depressed. I can't cope.
@@helenkidd5628Thanks for your advice Helen. You are so right!
I lost 52 pounds, dropped 7 medications and improved my health by doing 3 things 1) Dropped all sugar drinks, 2) Keto diet and 3) Intermittent fasting. I'm very pissed off that I had to go to TH-cam to learn all of this when I have been paying a pill pushing PCP for decades.
I'm prediabetic with high blood pressure. I think I want to try what you did
My BP was averaging 145/85 while on Olmesartain and amlodipine both. My pill pusher said I needed to add a third pill to lower it. I now am 120/65 with no pills thanks to my plan I was on.@@anarchyangel0
99% of PCP's are utterly useless. Their only goal is to find a way to get you on prescriptions.
Agree. Agree. Agree. I lost 46 pounds 4 years ago thanks to keto and TH-cam.
@@anarchyangel0 Try to find info about healthy verisons of keto, and don't get fooled by commercial "keto snacks" = processed garbage foods. Eating whole foods is as important as not easting carb bombs all the time. (it is not known or accepted in the keto community - but apparently one can actually reverse diabetes 2 also with eating moderate amounts of fruit and starchy veggies, as long as it's not extracted macronutrients as in flour products like bread, pasta etc, and not fruit juice but whole fruit types with low to moderate glycemic index, there is some research about it - but it's easier to find established keto protocols I guess.)
Also look up "metabolic flexibility" in conjuction with keto. You may be able to have short periods of eating more carbs in between longer keto periods, which you me switch into more easily once you reached metabolic flexibility (it takes longer to get to ketosis for habitual carb fiends)
Dr Jason Fung is an MD that is much into keto-
Dr Eric Berg DC has a lot of keto info - but he gets trashed by some as he started out as chiropractor and is not an MD - but seriously, an average MD doesn't know jack about nutrition. He _is_ biased towards the keto stuff. But if you want to try how keto works for you, he is a good source, as he promotes a healthy version with whole foods etc.
Note that it's also important _when_ you eat. Not just time-restricted eating, also, the eating time window does best not end just very few hours before sleep, as some bodily functions for processing food will be impaired, and it also may worsen sleep. Also, it clashes with most people's circadian rhythm.
A lot of people seem to be doing well to have their eating window around noon to early evening. I remember a study of italian pro cyclists, where doing 7 hours from 10AM to 5PM (and the end of the eating windo means end of meal, not start of meal! ;) ), while getting the same calories as the one without that time restriction. The time-restriucted eaters were dropping weight, the others not.
If every GP was like you, the entire world would be a better place! People would be calm, happy and healthy!
Thank you! I’ll keep doing my best 💪🏽
@@drsuneeldhand you are my hero-because of you I kept my sanity during this recent world insanity! I’m taking good care of my strong innate immune system, I’m healthy and free from 💉
Thank you!
Amennn !!! ! !!!! Eaxctly !!! ! !!! Pwy. 🙂
@@drsuneeldhandthank you Dr Dhand.
I don't know how we're going to change the medical community but with wonderful physicians like you, and others lifting their voices, I have hope for the 1st time ever.
Fully agree
1) Cut out SUGAR
2) Cut out seed oils (Vegetable oil, canola)
3) Do Intermittent Fasting
4) Do Keto diet (high fat, low carb, quality meat)
5) Better yet, try the Lion Diet also known as Carnivore.
6) Stay physically active.
This is the key to good health.
I think you are right
6) Got off the prescribed drugs few years ago - I did and it WORKS!!!
I do all those and have lately started taking 3gs of Taurine a day. That has improved things to a whole new level.
1. Eat a whole foods plant based diet.

Twenty years ago my husband's sugars started creeping into the diabetic range. The dr. was ready to push meds. My husband asked if there was another path. To his credit the dr. sent him to a dietitian. He lost 40 pounds and his sugars normalized. Although he is no longer as strict he has kept off most of the weight. He checks his weight daily. He checks his blood sugar weekly to make sure he is on track. So far so good!
Some fasting can help a great deal. All fat when you fast comes first from liver fat because that is where sugar for the blood supply is generated. It also has amazing effects on the immune system.
@@LTPottenger
Yes. That was not popular then. But keeping his weight down has helped. And he was not so far gone when initially diagnosed so the weight came off easily with standard portion control and especially controlling (not eliminating) carbs.
I am a 44 year old male. Totally healthy. Four years ago I did blood work that showed I was pre-diabetic. I immediately started intermittent fasting. It returned to normal within months.
Dr Dhand is absolutely right. 4 years ago I had 11.7 A1c which is very bad. Cut carbs to 50 grams a day, + 1 meal a day known as intermittent fasting. A1c fell to 5.8 in 3 months. Incredible energy, slept well, stopped getting up at night to urinate, lost weight, and certain degree of neurooathy I had disappeared like magic. No drugs! Age 73. Now my A1c is 5.3, in the completely normal range. Insulin sensitivity much improved and I now eat 2 meals a day in a 6 hour time window, and A1c remains normal.
I have several friends with T2 diabetes. They don't want to know about a low carb diet. They would rather take meds than cut out carbs.
Addiction. Processed carbs would be regulated in a fair world.
Hi Doc Suneel , I’m type 2 and in very good shape at 57 years young 😄
I was sadly let down terribly by the health system back in 1999.
I’d felt rotten for years with a mystery illness even after attending the doctors on many occasions. Eventually in 1999 I developed the worst dry mouth I’d ever encountered even on drinking 5 litres of water a day .
I went to see the outpatient nurse, had some tests, and was confirmed in the diabetic range .
Within 2/3 days I went to see the diabetic nurse for an insulin course (instruction on how to self administer etc) and within an hour or so I was diagnosed as type 1 diabetic and immediately taking novo rapid fast acting insulin !
I spent the next 14 years with crushing hypo’s and generally an utterly miserable 😩 time .
This was after that particular diabetic nurse informed me that “it’s better to take fast acting insulin as you can eat what you want “ !!!!!! (That’s utterly true, unfortunately!!😱😨)!!
I,through inner strength and pure faith began to push myself to a point where I had virtually 0 body fat and decided to stop ✋ (without the doctor) taking novo rapid !! I just took lantus and metformin . Within a few months after much trawling through the internet medical pages I came across something called a c-peptide test to do with the beta cells ! I went to my diabetic nurse and demanded immediately that I take this test !! The diabetic nurse had not a clue what a c-peptide test was and just had a forlorn look upon her face 😮
Eventually after much trouble and almost a fight the test was presented and I eventually got the results confirming that I was type 2 !!!!!
The huge amount of damage done to my body through endless hypos was unquestionable but just too late . I’d developed gastroparesis and bowell problems as a direct result of the mis - diagnosis .
This happened under the NHS at Bournemouth Hospital 🏥…..I also now live in the USA like your good self Dr Dhand .
The sad part is that if I’d of been correctly diagnosed at first then I’m sure 👌that I’d of been off insulin within months !
The whole medical system is broken and utterly floored 😮
Listen wisely to Dr Suneel folks and have faith in his words . He absolutely knows the truth and understands deeply about the importance of real food, exercise, and staying clear of big Pharma as much as possible 💙❤️🌺✌️peace and good vibes 😎 to you all
Thanks for sharing your story. And really appreciate your kind words. Best Regards, Suneel Dhand
Good ol’ NHS strikes again!
MONEY THROUGH PROFIT DRIVES THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND FOOD INDUSTRY . IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD ITS A PISSING SHAME .
3rd biggest killer (worldwide?)
Government health services!
Sadly this happened to a relative of mine. Was misdiagnosed as type 1 but was type 2. Because he was a child they made assumptions. Then they could not understand why his body was not responding to the insulin. Sadly he is now both. Years of insulin that he did not need initially messed up his body. This happened in the good old USA by the way. There are bad doctors everywhere.
Yes! Please keep spreading this! I have friends with diabetes and they take their Dr's instruction as gospel and they never get any better! Only worse.
My husband was such a victim and the result was a premature grave :(
@@cwebr789
Sorry to hear this 😢
I used to be a R.N. ... whatever you do ..don't take most Doctors advice. They tried to put me on Statins. Push insulin...never tell you basic Foundations like...OMGosh you are too fat. They don't tell you how to lose weight. Stopping sugar and carbs...eating what you want is the problem to begin with. My mom is 90... Only God knows why she's still around. She has had 5 Covid shots and takes to much insulin, always dropping deadly low. She worships these doctors. Keto is the only way l can lose weight. 🙏
I will inform them too now !!! Thanks 2 God 4 brother Suneel !!! ! !!!
As caregiver and service to others I relied on my years of study of Nutrition , Herbology, Naturopathic Healing and Homeopathic Medicine .
I used natural organic food and herbs in my cooking and out of the years of serving and caring for others , I was able to help my own Mother and a dear Vietnam veteran both be Cured from diabetes.Their DRs were curious how this happened and when told they didn't want to know anything else, they shut tuned me out and put them on a maintenance schedule!
It was another confirmation that I made the right decision for my life path when I left university in 1975 because I had a moral dilemma after term of studies in Pharmacology when I realized it was not for the healing of man but for $$, and was a faster track to disease and death, which only made them richer as you went back bcuz of side effects of scripts,
Bottom line for them ,If a pill won't help or surgery remove it , they tell you they can't do anything more for you,!!!!! It's a crime against humanity that the mammon has captured the medical field and it's held in the clutches of greed
Jason Fung has been preaching this for years. He should have won a Nobel Prize for his stellar work in the field. Thanks for the friendly reminder, Doctor. Love your work, too.
I know 4 people that have diabetes and they're all on medication. In a way people are under the impression they don't have to change their diet or lifestyle if they stay on their medication. None of them feel good...in fact they all complain of side effects.
I started eating whole foods, fasting, walking and that reversed it. Doctors are still baffled. I just roll my eyes at their comments these days. The diabetic nurses were open minden when I mentioned fasting, but doctors do not want to hear it. I was on Metformin for 5 years before I started doing my own research and what I found was what helped me. Thank you, Dr. Dhand for getting this information out there to the masses.
Cholesterol protocols are wrong too.
Sickcare not healthcare
@@veronicascott313 no money or repeat customers in healing/ metabolism
Agree completely. Big medicine pushes statins on everyone. My mother refused to take them and was past 90 when she died. No heart attack either. I am following her example.
Absolutely!!!!
I did intermittent fasting, cut sugar and carbs and lost 16 lbs. easily!
Me too 😊
What do you eat to feel full? When I avoid carbs like bread and other wheat based food I always feel hungry. Do you think oatmeal products are a good substitute?
@@katperson7332Protein is the absolute key 🔑 to fullness…chicken, fish, meat,nuts,eggs etc along with leafy 🥬 greens , some fruits (lower GI fruits)
Avocado 🥑 and poached eggs with one small piece of whole grain toast is an absolute winner 🥇 for breakfast or lunch !! For evening meal avoid all carbs and just a light dinner !
That’s not advice but how I eat and I’ve been diabetic for years 😊good luck 🍀
@@katperson7332Oatmeal is good as long as it’s steel cut oats without additives and just mix with water …..only a small portion though
@@SlackHoffman Thanks! For breakfast I have 2 oatcakes spread with organic peanut butter with a mashed banana on top. Plus tea with milk. This keeps me pretty full and for lunch I have soup. I do eat meat or chicken for dinner with potatoes and veg but not every day. Some days I just have an omelette or baked potato with tuna and baked beans. I sometimes have dessert of blueberries and yogurt. I’ve not been diagnosed with diabetes but feel that my body does have some kind of insulin problem due to my sweet tooth. In between my reasonably healthy meals I indulge too much in sweet stuff like cake or cookies or chocolate. I know that I don’t exercise nearly enough and I’m definitely overweight. I’m female aged 74 and have had a weight problem all my adult life. I do try to have the oat crackers instead of bread but I never feel healthy because of the sweet foods I snack on. I love healthy food too but can’t seem to shake off my desire for sugar. I don’t go near doctors as I don’t want pills for the rest of my life. I suppose at the end of the day nobody can help me but myself. A sugar addiction can be as damaging as other substance addictions but I hope it’s not too late to beat it.
Great video!! I was type 2 diabetic, and doctors took a totally different approach than they did in the mid 1960's when my Mom was diagnosed! They did put her on medication, but ALSO gave her a strict diet to follow!! When my sister and I were diagnosed many years later, nothing was mentioned about DIET, or even limiting sugar or carbs!! Also when I asked about a glucose tolerance test, which I was given years ago, they said that was no longer necessary! Now we are told that there is no reason to check our blood sugar!! The A1C is all we need!! After giving up sugar and processed and ultraprocessed foods, and going keto to carnivore, the doctor has stopped my metformin and said I am no longer type 2 diabetic!! AND this is because of the TRUTH I found on TH-cam from doctors like you who REALLY CARE about helping people!! Thanks so much for ALL your great medical information!! God bless you!! ❤🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏
God bless you for this wonderful comment! Recounts like this are just as worthwhile as videos by great doctors like Dr. Suneel! Real life patients telling us about real life solutions is indeed powerful!
@@krisjustin3884 WOW, thank you so much! I enjoy reading what others have experienced in their lives, and have recently been sharing more of my story! In my life, doctors and medicine has really changed, and mostly not in a good way!! God bless you!! 😀🙏
I live in the UK and my GP will not talk to me about this even though I have sent my type 2 diabetes into remmision using a low carb/keto diet. They prefer to think of me as unstable for not taking medication anyway and regard the diet I am following as the road to hell.
I have a niece with type 2 diabetes. I was listening to a video a while ago that was going over a patient’s history and somewhere it was said, roughly, “you’re glucose levels are low for someone with diabetes “. Then the dr was like ‘why can’t you have a normal glucose level? Why does it matter that you diabetes, this is proof they don’t want you to get better!’
My MIL is a type 2 diabetic and will not even consider listening to anyone but her doctor. She has to give herself insulin shots every morning and still has a terrible diet. She won't listen to anyone else. She just keeps getting worse. She also has fatty liver. She had breast cancer last year and is boosted up to her eyeballs.
Boy is she in trouble. It is too bad she lives in an illusion.
Sorry to hear that. My beloved husband was the victim of this kind of poor quality medicine. The result was a premature grave.
My mother died of chemotherapy. Same thing, listens to no one but Operh and the oncologist 😢
@@richardscathouse both my parents died I believe from medical mismanagement. My dad died of cancer 30 days after he was diagnosed and my mother took the booster. She died 6 months ago.
@@richardscathouse.. Mustard gas used in Chemotheraphy are listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as human carcinogen ( cancer causing). So what these oncologists do, give their cancer patients more cancer cells through chemotheraphy. Radiation from all sources including X-rays, CT scans, PET scans are also listed as human carcinogen by IARC.
This video is the most honest and educating ever regarding that horrific affliction!
Dr. Suneel is a real humanitarian!
This man never makes a video and never asks for money, or trying to sell you something!
God bless this man!
Thank you for this health and wellness information.
It is a SICK CARE industry Not a HEALTH-CARE industry
Disease care as someone else said. Definitely nothing with health!
This is too true. My husband was a victim of the big pharmaceutical lie: drugs that do not work and then insulin. Never once did any of the so called professionals discuss low carb eating and intermittent fasting. Unfortunately, he paid the ultimate price of premature death. Not a happy ending.
I’m so sorry you watched this happen to your husband.
We all die. 🤭🤭🤭 men sooner, the world beats us to death, from day one! 🤕
💞🙏💕 Sending much love to you.
So sorry for your loss. I wish your husband could have found out in time to save his life. God bless you.
😢,
Let’s all applaud 👏 this fine man for such incredible videos from the heart ♥️
Dr Suneel Dhand number 1 🥇👏💪✌️🤝🤜🤛
Well! My grandson may be prediabetic. I'm sure the doctor did not mention anything about processed foods. I'm proud of my grandson, he started exercising. Thanks so much Dr. Dhand! Really appreciate you! I value your knowledge and advice. Love you Dr. Dhand! Have a blessed day! : )
Even if he still ends up with diabetes, after all the hard work and exercise, be sure not to shame him. He will feel like he failed. But I am so happy he is working hard, and you are supporting him!
Yes, the top 10 diseases are food related
Ultra and highly processed foods are literally killing us
Big pharma and big food are the evil twins, one gets you sick and the other patches you but never cures you
Hopefully your grandson will realize that butter, coconut oil, bacon fat, meat, eggs, and and ancestral diet will help him feel even better. Low carb is good for the body and mind! Protein and fats keep you satisfied and not craving. This book is excellent: The Ancestral Diet Revolution
You cannot out-run a bad diet, it will catch you eventually - exercise is only part of the solution - actually it's not required at all but it makes you feel better.
Yes you are 110% right with this one. The joke, which you did mention but I suspect many didn't pick up on is insulin lays down fat, the fat when it is large enough sends out hormonal messages which make you feel hungry, so you eat more and take more insulin, and get fatter. Up goes the blood pressure as the fat also has to be supplied with a blood supply, then you run a risk of going blind, losing fingers and feet. due to the blood being distorted by the sugar so it can't get through the capillaries. a SAD diet is a disaster, the HFCS is killing people and it's in everything.
Thanks for sharing this. It was eye opening and it makes zero sense the way it is being "treated." In addition to people struggling with health and diabetes, our pets are suffering too. I took my cat into a vet months back and I was totally shocked that they said was very prediabetic/considered diabetic. They wanted me to start giving her shots.I asked to hold off a couple months to recheck her. She had been checked 2 or 3x to confirm her issues, prior to this last time. They also offered me an expensive prescription purina wet food, but it was full of fillers and carbs.
I went home and really dove into research about a cat's natural diet. And almost none of the cat food out there has it. Even some of the premium wet food products are full of fillers, gums, starches, wheat, peas, carrots, apples and garbage cats should not eat. I now feed her some real meat and the rest is from one brand I found that has better ingredients and more fat to keep her full - ie: chicken, chicken liver and just a couple other ingredients (no xantham or guar gum). Prior to switching her food, I was giving her really pricey high protein dry food mixed in with some pretty pricey wet food. But the dry food is the biggest problem and probably equivelant to our ultra processed garbage. After two months of eating properly, I took her in and for the first time in months, her blood sugar levels were good! The vet was so surprised and told me to keep doing what I am doing. He said no treatment is necessary. All my cats are eating this way now. Food can hurt or heal us.
Please let me knowwhat you are feeding your cat. My cats are getting sick on Purina. Ty
@@Mary-fn5rl The main product we are using is Hound and Gatos chicken wet food. My cats don't like their other flavors. This only has a few ingredients and no guar gum (which can cause gi issues for some cats), though they use agar agar. This one contains more fat and protein than others and seems to help my cats feel full and happy. I also get them Tiki Cat After Dark and it has chicken, liver, gizzards, heart and quail egg in it. There are also places to buy real meat online. For example, Northstar Bison sells rabbit as a pet blend/food and they ship to your home. I think Instinct is another decent brand, they have good products (with chicken, duck, rabbit etc) but they contain guar gum. My cats didn't seem to have any issues wirh that brand, but its a bit higher carb than Hound and Gatos. I hope this helps!
So interesting, I think that most pets get high processed food with a lot of carbs and garbage in it. My opinion is that these dry foods in big bags are not healthy for our pets. Its just marketing. My dog eats the proper dog diet: meat. Raw ground beef, liver, heart cooked meat, egg etc. I have a chihuaha mix, very healthy and no problems with the teeth. Also she is a senior and has still the atletic lean body composition of when she was 6 months old...when I look at some video's of chihuaha dogs on you tube, they often are 'out of model' and look 'stuffed'. What is happening to us with the ultra processed foods is also happening to our pets! You can get inexpensive meats for pets, try it!
Excellent information/ instruction..as a retired RN who last worked in endocrinology, I saw 1st hand patients coming in with multiple lists of meds🙄 and each time their lists grew
(prescribed by PCP. )
Thank you for caring enough to get to root causes and motivating

was insulin resistant (and easily hypoglycemic) after 35 years of being a vegetarian. Switched to Keto/carnivore one meal a day, and it's just about gone. I miss bread and pasta but I can't afford to slide into diabetes)
You can get konjack noodles pasta and rice and you can make chuffles it's made from cheese and eggs.
Iwas sent a notice for a diabetes diet education seminar put on by the government, on the front of the flyer was an old man sitting in a wheelchair reaching out for a slice of white bread toast in front of him, he and the nurse beside him had huge smiles on their face😳
Thank you for this video. About a month ago, I spoke with my endocrinologist about intermittent fasting. He discouraged me from trying it but I went ahead with it anyway since I've been hearing about excellent results from it. I was interested in ridding toxins from my body and giving my gut a chance to 'rest'. It seems to be working for me! I am continuing on this journey, learning about fermented foods, high-fiber foods, and increasing natural probiotics in my diet. Again, thanks for this and all of your videos. I am an avid watcher and learn so much from you.
Thanks for sharing your story! It is shocking that your endocrinologist discouraged you from intermittent fasting at an appropriate level for you (it can work for anyone!). Glad to hear you’re doing well 👍🏽
@@drsuneeldhand Thank you!
I was diagnosed with diabetes two years ago. I reversed it completely by eating grass fed beef, wild caught fish, organic eggs and chicken and organic fresh fruit. Yes fruit!! No processed crap, no starchy carbs. My Dr wanted me on metformin. I was like no way I'm reversing it with a healthy lifestyle. My Dr was so freaking impressed and told me most patients want to eat like crap and take pharma drugs. It's totally disturbing.
Thank you soo much for speaking Truth. I only saw one endocrinologist...Who spoke like you. That was 5 yrs ago... He told me to get off of insulin to live longer. I ended up losing 80 lbs....super fast. Swimming was my exercise because of herniated discs in my back...from carrying extra weight. Then covid came. I gained everything but 10 lbs back. Last summer l did Keto lost 40 lbs...but was consumed with maintaining that sweet tooth. Every video online was showing how to make sweets with those funky sugar free substitutes...which upset my stomach. I gained 20 back. Now l am about 20 days in...sugars came down nicely, almosy completely off of Insulin and l am not focused on sugar free sweets or funky sugar free substitutes...just real food...and avoiding carbs and sugar. This time l am looking at it from a different perspective. No more poor me, l'm suffering...l am looking at it from gratitude. I just want to be well....and slender and pain free and active. God Bless you all. 📖🌷
Thank you Dr, I am a 62yr old, who now walks 3 miles a day, has one meal a day, resists carbohydrates lol, (w/e treat) takes D3, K2, CLO and B+ and feels better than ever. Thankyou for your work and enlightenment.
This comment is as worthwhile as the video. Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for what you are doing, Dr. Dhand! As a nurse I am learning so much from you.
Test your blood sugar! When my mom stayed with me for a few weeks, her need for insulin pretty much went away--but she had low blood sugar at one point because she was eating real, low-carb food and still taking her insulin.
Hi Dr. Dhand! This is important!
A rare entity , a Physician who is really committed to a Doctor's Job, Daring to change narratives, and thinking scientifically outside the box... keep it up.
Again you are a treasure to guide the population to take control of their health and promote prevention. My gratitude to you.
You should give credit to Dr. Jason Fung for popularizing fasting as a way of reversing type 2 diabetes.
As soon as my mom was diagnosed with diabetes I started checking my blood sugar and noticed my fasting glucose creeping up 😨 I turned to intermitted and extended water fasts. I’m not sure it is for everyone, but for me it does wonders 🙏 I feel that unfortunately as this ‘treatment’ is basically free it never gets the attention it deserves
Thank you for sharing this! Years ago I went to a diabetes class with a friend. I didn't realize how wrong the training was until late 2019. At that time a TH-cam channel for Butter Bob showed up in my feed. He was a factory worker at the time... an everyday guy, who did a lot of reading about physiology to learn how to lose weight. His video on insulin resistance taught me so much. Please check him out because he makes it so easy to understand. Even some good physicians give credit to Bob for helping them understand the proper treatment. In early 2020 I started keto and do some intermittent fasting. Trying to stay under 30 carbs a day has gotten rid of my inflammation. I too have been sharing the fact that giving insulin to someone who has too much insulin is insane! Please continue your great work doctor!
Slowly work to eat real food twice a day . Then work on eating once a day between 3pm to 6 pm .Drink fresh real live water not bottled water, any water more than 3 days old is dead.water . No snacking after you eat,. Go walk for 15, 30, minutes preferably in nature or at a park . Sleep ealy 9 to10 pm . Wake up at 4, 5 am . Strech out a little .Blend one whole organic lemon with bit of water , drink it in the morning first thing . No more medication or doctor needed. This is what we do . IMO
Sugary drinks and processed food have led to this disaster. I limit my sugar intake to 25 grams of added sugar or less a day and eat no highly or ultra processed foods. I started this about 2 months ago and have gone from 230 to 202.4 lbs. I feel much better. I also stopped salty snacks a couple weeks earlier and freeze bread, went from 5 loaves a month to 1 loaf a month and refrigerate potatoes. The bread and potatoes is supposed to lower the glycemic index. Thanks to all of the wonderful doctors and nurses who truly care about health, that is were I got the information on proper eating.
Potatoes and bread just turn into glucose in the body. It's best to eat a very low carbohydrate diet.
@@Jane-yg3vz Freezing white bread lowers the glycemic index by like 20%, there has been a study and like I said this is all information from doctors not me lol.
@@Jane-yg3vz Nothing to really replace bread with though lol. I eat organic peanut butter by the spoon now though.;-) Wraps are high in carbs and wheat bread tends to be higher in carbs than white bread.

Best doctor on the Internet!
Think the word "fasting " scares or confuses people. If you're talking about simply taking a 10 or 12 hour break between meals following dinner, I think more people would try it. Especially if they understood the physiology behind it.
You should the trays they give diabetics in the hospital! It’s insane!
Yeah. If you don't write on your menu selection DIABETIC when you send in the food order don't assume diabetics has been told even if it's on your chart and board. Even when you get to choose off the diabetic menu the carbs will be too high and the protein too low.
Something else to consider: I've been listening to some fascinating interviews with Dr. Jack Kruse lately, who believes that diet is only a part of the problem causing a massive increase in poor human health. According to Kruse, our relationship to life itself has been declining since the introduction of artificial light and the huge number of hours we spend looking at screens that emit blue light. The damage occurs at the level of the mitochondria, a fact that very few individuals know, including doctors. The implications are profound. I can't explain all the science here in a comment, nor am I even capable, but I can share Kruse's main advice: Keep your body's natural circadian rhythm intact by following natural light patterns.
Get outside in the morning and walk in nature, without your phone!
No sunglasses or sunscreen.
When the sun goes down, put your phone down and shut your computer down. If that's not possible, wear blue-blocking glasses (the orange kind).
Go to bed early.
Rise early.
Protect your mitochondria!
I wish you all the best! 🌻
Absolutely correct: see the work of physician Dr Jason Fung; the DiRECT medical trial in the U.K. etc etc.. As Dr Fung says Type 2 can be put in remission by “intensive dietary strategies” and intermittent fasting 5 days a week.
Decrease Insulin response with exercise 20 mins after food that gets your Soleus muscle going (i..e. the muscle behind your calf muscle) by walking or just sitting and raising your feet up and down for a while....I find this so helpful..Move 20 mins after food; dance, walk, raise your feet, whatever you can manage, it all helps to steady the insulin response👍.
As a pharmacist, I get to tell people that their brand name diabetes meds are $400 per month. One gentleman upon hearing this asked what other drug I recommended. I asked if he had seen a dietician or adjusted his lifestyle. He gave me a "Yeah, yeah" and asked again about medicine (already on metformin). His attitude really bothered me. I told him "You know, $400 will buy you a lot of vegetables."
My Mum was told she’s pre diabetic earlier this year after a heart attack last year. She’s stuck to the diet the nurse suggested, has lost a stone and a half in weight and is feeling healthier than she has in a long time!😊
Been 5.7 A1C for awhile . Low carb does work. I stopped sugar but still eating too many carbs. Portion size is important too. I always catch my prediabetes by testing myselfy
Thank you for all your encouragement Dr Dhand. You speak truth, love listening to your teachings and advice.
Thank God for you Doc…
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Your videos are so important...TY
You are simply brilliant and I'm grateful for you.
Really appreciate your kind words!
Thank you! I tried to eat right for some time, to no avail. Midway through a parasite treatment, it's getting easier. We don't think often in the US of parasites as being complicating factors, but I think it's probably pretty common. Tapeworms, in my case, via accidently ingesting fleas. A friend has roundworms and eating chocolate like mad.
I love your content, ever since YOU woke up about the WHOLE covid-lies situation!
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 12 years ago and for many years I was on medforman. When things got worse they suggested insulin. I said NO. No more meds. Stopped all medication and about 1.5 years ago I have changed my life style (food). I have reversed my diabetes. Keto and intermittent fasting is key.
Preach, brother, preach!
About 15 years ago I was pushing 300 lbs. Due to issues with a bum knee from a baseball injury when I was younger my weight started bothering me. I love to walk/hike and bicycle so I knew I needed to lose weight. Since then I've dropped weight, slowly without any drastic dieting and I'm now at about 180, which being 6'3" puts my weight as ideal.
Now, at 71, I thankfully have few issues. That is the good part. The bad part is these videos, which I would have loved to have seen back then., is they create a lot of stress for me. Not because of me thinking I need to change my way of life but in seeing my kids and grandkids doing the same thing I use to do. I know what they need to do, thanks to personal experience and confirmed by what I've seen watching these. I've told them that they are going down a the wrong dietary road but they don't listen. It is really stressful having to keep my mouth shut so I don't become persona non grata. Special so with the young grandkids. There own doctors should be counseling them but we know that doesn't happen. Easier to push pills.
Great stuff!!! Thanks
At the age of 16 I acquired my first motorbike and stopped riding my push bike to school and back five times a day. I noticed a fall off in my physical fitness within a week and as we had school exercises once per week, I opted for cross country running. That brought back some of the fitness. As one of five children just after WWII, food was scarce and expensive and we ate home grown vegetables and things like high carbohydrate foods and sugary foods were a rare and absolute luxury. At the age of 33 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, unique in our family, including our grand parents. At the age of 40 I requested to go on insulin to achieve better control. Now 75 I am average weight for my height and 2 years ago had a heart triple bypass operation.
My advice to others is eat as little as possible as food is NEVER for pleasure, it is simply fuel for your body. About half the amount served in an Australian restaurant and one quarter in a USA one is a fair guide. Meat and two veg for a meal is a good guideline. No alcohol at all is best, never drink alcohol alone. Never smoke tobacco. Keep away from all sugary foods and if you must, limit intake to just a few grams per day. Read the nutrition panels on foods like cereals and be shocked at how much sugar is in the highly promoted ones. Find and buy the GI book which rates foods by their Glycaemic Index and eat the low ones in place of the high ones. Snatch as much excercise from daily life as you can. Walking is best.
During my heart bypass operation I had some "interesting" conversations with the Hospital staff. They were kind enough to describe me as a "diabetic expert" which is wholly incorrect, I am simply a lay person who taught myself how to best manage my diabetic condition.
Please, do the same for yourselves.
If you find all this very hard to do, good, you are on the right track. I most certainly do.
Makes perfect sense. Instead of adding more and more weight as time goes by to force open a broken door how about we just maintain the door. To be fair though, I think we've gotten so comfortable that many of us would choose to lay back and take our meds instead.
Thank you for being an honest doctor as opposed to the other drug pushers out there. Went shopping the other day, not a single processed food was purchased. A cart full of fruit & vegetables, meat & dairy😀 Nearly at ideal BMI and haven't seen a doctor in a about a decade. Luckily it's not difficult to do in Thailand.
Homa-IR the best test for determining development of insuline resistance
Just retired from NHS (UK )after 30 years working in Anaesthetics, one thing i will say is that their is a percentage of the population that want to carry on eating whatever they want and as much as they want and even having surgery, that are quite happy to take medications rather than change their lifesyle.
This is one of the reasons our Hospitals are overwhelmed.
Yes, a true, but sad other side of the story.
A friend of mine was happy to be a diabetic 2 because she loved to take a lot of meds. Really true.
Since my last A1C was 8.7, i started daily readings typically 139-170s...then i began IF which usually is 20-22 hours each day. I'd been doing carb counting with an app as well. Then I found out about the Microbiome, and have been following the food protocol with my glucose readings now 92-118 the last six days! IF is where I thrive and feeding my microbiome is where i desire to remain. Thank you for another great video.
Some fasts from 36-96 h will have even more exaggerated results! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS.
Fasting reduces pain and anxiety by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in a similar way to CBD oil.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

This list compiled over years of research by the user known as Pottenger's Human on youtube but feel free to copy and paste this anywhere you like, no accreditation needed!
My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Thank you Dr. You are spot on!
This is what I tell all of my diabetic patients: keto and intermittent fasting, especially for men (Women have to be careful with intermittent fasting because it can mess with your hormones). It drives me CRAZY that the standard is to put people in meds to get their blood sugar down, but then tell them to eat carbs so their blood sugar doesn’t get too low with the meds 🤦🏻♀️
I’m on this journey right now. Mine started with severe hypoglycemia episodes. As I looked into my diet I was eating a lot of carbs. I cut a lot of carbs and added more fat and protein. I am currently wearing CGM so my Endo can find a pattern with my sugars. I am using this as a guide for what not to eat. I have seen that I can control the spikes with the right food. I am new to this so I still get some spikes but this is such an eye opener. Every PCP and MD should educate these patients as you do. Unfortunately a lot of patients do not want to hear it.
Thank you Dr Suneel Dhand 🙏❤️ You are always right on point You are Teaching us the best way of living 🙏❤️
Generations of people are laughing at diabetes treatment now! Utterly despicable!
Great vlog, well done and thanks for your honesty and integrity. Good man
My mother, when she was alive, use to think it was a badge of honour to take the Drs recommended drugs! I tried to tell her on many occasions that Type 2 Diabetes was reversable with the eating the right foods. She wouldn't have it! Very sad indeed!
After a few years without a Dr, finally got checked. A1C was over 10! Dr mentioned insulin, I declined. Through diet, A1C is now 5.6! Seldom eat bread, potatoes or corn. Avoid processed foods/sweets. Once in awhile I'll grab a plain cake donut or a teaspoon of honey. It seemed hard at first, it's now habitual. (Have a friend who took the insulin route, $700.00 per bottle the last I heard).
Great advice Doctor. Thanks for your continuing efforts Aussie Bob
Thank you Sir for the TRUTH ❤
If only they would listen ….thank you
First port of call for wellness is Clean water, next Clean food...
This is going on across Canada as well :(
Thank you!!!
You're definitely speaking volumes
I'm sure I'll get the one and done satiation pill as soon as it's available. I'll be here waiting for medical doctors to promptly make amends for my compulsive overeating. They've been forcing pharmaceuticals on my my whole adult life.
I took a nutrition class years ago, and at that time, they said that activity alone could reverse to type 2. I have tried to work out in some way ever since, and try to eat healthfully so I didn't end up like my older sister. She was sendentary, ate very unhealthfully, took her insulin, and suffered an early death as a result. We CAN take control of our health if we want to. I also do a little bit of fasting every day so the insulin can kick in.
You cannot outrun an unhealthy diet. Extremely active working class people used to still drop dead of typical western "chronic" diseases. Don't eat grain, sugars, fruit or seed oils and you will keep you health and avoid middle aged spread. If beef, eggs and butter + a pinch of salt make up the bulk of your diet you will be disease free and will settle at your natural weight. No risk of diabetes and your blood pressure will not chance despite age - the old 100+your age nonsense about blood pressure was just a symptom of carb-induced insulin resistance as we aged.
Even as a non-medical person, this makes so much sense! Thank you!
You are Absolutely correct my friend, it is so refreshing to hear an actual MD speak with so much common sense! I started keto in 2016 along with intermittent fasting then OMADto avoid getting diabetes. I asked my doctor for a homa ir test with my annual physical but he always says no that insurance won't pay for it, to which I say "no worries, I'll pay for it" and I do. I still don't have diabetes. I think that a homa ir should be done At least annually, but big pharma, big agra the American diabetes association etc, etc will not be able to continue to financially rape and eventually kill all of us, Oh My!!
"Speak with your doctor" - the first huge barrier!
Spot on Dr Suneel My doctor been trying to get me to take a tablet for past 12 years i always eat healthy apple cider vinegar morning and for bed and ground almonds with honey in my smoothie with over 10 different fruits thanks DR God bless you and family and friends +
Watched an NHS 'hospital' documentary here on TH-cam last night. Surgeons telling morbidly obese people they have a 'disease' 😮, & offering bariatic surgery like its all completely normal! Shocking!!
Prescribing exogenous insulin to a Type2 diabetic is no different than giving alcohol to an alcoholic to make them feel better. Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance. A high fat, adequate protein, low carb (or zero carb) diet is the correct solution to reverse diabetic dysfunction.
Excellent discussion!
Doc...this is so true! We were totally flabbergasted when we heard a diabetologist asking for an opinion for his patient in a diabetes forum on - how to manage diabetes without giving up alcohol & smoking? If doctors give-in to the authorities or to the patients, then ideally they should pack their bag and venture into another profession. We hope doctors are more like you & have more of the critical thinking attitude.
I have wondered this exact thing during nursing school and all the way through my current studies in medical school.
I know everyone says type1 is genetic, but I strongly believe the milk fed to babies is the cause. I grew up in the carribean an have never know anyone with type 1 diabetes. Most of us grew up being breastfed, but I say the milk powder and cows milk which is very sweet is the cause.
Interesting point that’s worth examining!
I have been diabetic for 25 years. Initially I was losing weight without dieting & having grown up with a type 1 diabetic mother I was pretty familiar with the symptoms. When I started to get very thirsty in the evenings, eventually the light bulb went on & I voiced my suspicion the the doctor who confirmed it with tests. I had had unstable blood sugar & regular hypos for several years but no one ever suggested my diet might be to blame.
When I couldn’t control it with diet, the doctor put me on a drug - & within 8 weeks I’d regained the whole 35lbs I’d lost! When I confronted the doctor, he checked his notes & discovered that instead of putting me on Metformin, he’d prescribed Daonil. Oh, says he, I don’t know why I gave you those, they can trigger weight gain. I could have throttled him. Maybe he had some kind of ‘incentive’…….🙄
Eventually, I ended up on insulin in 2003, & still no one gave me any dietary advice apart from ‘eat plenty of starchy carbs’. 😶. I’d already had IBS & Candida/fungal issues for several years, but gradually I developed other issues - neuropathy, raging restless legs, acid reflux, hiatus hernia, high BP, etc.
On being given Byetta by a Diabetic ‘Specialist’ in 2007, it trashed my already very fragile digestion completely & I eventually ended up in hospital when everything I ate was going straight through me. When the hospital doctors could find ‘nothing wrong’ (not sure what they were expecting to find with just a blood test & ultrasound), abandoned to my own devices I started researching (& have never stopped), discovered a link between my symptoms & Celiac Disease (which my mother had finally been diagnosed with just 4 weeks before she died of extreme malnutrition & multiple organ failure - they’d only had 64 years to find it…..), dumped the wheat/gluten in early 2008, & within hours - literally overnight - the diarrhoea stopped.
Very slowly, & with the help of a strict natural whole food diet & vital supplements, especially the B vitamins, I was able to rebuild my digestion & reverse all the other issues, including the so-called ‘Diabetic’ neuropathy. That was 15 years ago, & whilst I’m still diabetic, still struggle to lose weight, & have higher daily blood sugar than I would like because I have such a slow insulin response, I’m still only taking the same amount of insulin I was put on 20 years ago (40 units of), & sometimes a lot less.
Currently I am focusing on rehydration using water & mineral-rich unrefined grey, moist sea salt, which supplies the minerals the body needs in order to be able to use the water at cellular level. It’s early days, but it is helping.
Like many people, including those of us with diabetes, I am very aware that my body has been chronically dehydrated for decades. Without enough water & accompanying minerals, the cells cannot cleanse themselves, & neither can they absorb & utilise nutrients properly. Deep cellular dehydration - triggered by the highly dehydrating modern processed food & drink - is responsible for heaps of our modern diseases & ailments (look up (Dr.) Darko Velcek on here & on Rumble & Bitchute (Kefa55) - like you Suneel, very disparaging of the current paradigm). Every part of the body needs plenty of water & if it’s going straight through without touching the sides, it is of little to no benefit.
Great man…keep safe please..
