The best medication is actually no medication. Did keto for one year, and now I’m completely out form insulin, trulicity and statins, a1c normal, glucose normal, blood pressure unbelievable, lost 50lbs in 3 months and maintaining.
True but if you need to have blood sugar goes down then medication must be taken. After you adjust your lifestyle, you can be off once your blood sugar is under control.
Ive been diabetic now for 2 years and am on a extended Metformin plus a modified diet. My A1C is in the high 5, to low 6 so it's working for me...the good part s that with my insurance, my Metformin only costs me 90 cents for a 6 month supply, so I can't complain!
Dr. Ergin I want to say thank you...thank you...thank you and that I can't thank you enough because in September of 2021 my A1C was 15.0. My doctor prescribed Metformin which I refused to take because I felt I needed to make lifestyle changes first which I did. But what I did take was time to research and God led me to your videos which were extremely insightful and helpful. Per your videos which seemed pretty logical to me. I changed my diet, increased my exercise consequently I lost weight and started intermittent fasting. As a result my A1C today is now 5.9 and I couldn't be more happy. While this is not optimal I'm confident that I will get to an optimal A1C in the very near future. But you my friend deserve your flowers and kudos for all you do for us. Thanks again!!
I have taken metformin for 35 years, most of the time 2x1000mgs daily. No problems and I am 80 now. A few more years and I can say I'm seeing the longevity side effect of metformin. That is one I can live with.............
Can you please do video on what we should eat. Give easy Breakfast Lunch And Dinner easy, quick ideas, and how foods affect us in the order that we eat. I follow a man called Justin. He tests food on how it works with his sugar levels. He showed how much lover his sugar numbers were when he ate a small plain salad with a vinegar dressing and a slice of pepperoni pizza than when he ate the slice without the salad huge difference in his numbers. Also raw carrots didn't raise his sugar levels, but when he ate steamed carrots, his number was really high.
You have a short video up about four teas to lower A1C 100%. They are quince, mulberry, grape, and fig. I cannot find any organic grape leaves and only one quince variety and it had orange in it. They are on amazon. Does anyone make the 4 tea blend or where can I find these teas? I would so appreciate an answer.
@@mandograssable sir thank you so much for each reply Sir as I stay in India 🇮🇳 and belong to northern part of it I have seen these plants and forest of mulberry.I will be very happy to help you for your medicine.plz tell me as Wat you want organic leaves or tea made of these leaves.I vll be happy to get you samples of these plants if you want.
@@mandograssable sir Vll try to get you organic dry leaves of three plants but mulberry leaves are very delicate and difficult to store or preserve for long period. So as said earlier sir Wat you want leaf or tea.
Thanks so much. I take Jardiance 25mg, Gliclazide 120mg, and Lantus 5 units per day. I have had acute pancreatitis in the past, so I can't use GLP1 or DPP4. My insulin production is low because of damage from previous acute pancreatitis. Any suggestions or stay doing what I'm doing? Thanks!
Since im diabetic type 2 i lost 12 kilo's in 4 months. Evendo im healthy now, how can i gain weight without spiking insuline? Im still going to the gym and lifting weights and im eating about 3000 calories. Only carbs im eating are brown rice, brown bread, brown pasta and some vegetables.

Thanks Doc! Love your videos ❤️. Question for you. I was diagnosed with type2, four months ago with A1C of 7.8. my recent A1C came as 5.1. past 4 months I changed my lifestyle and been on intermittent fasting 22/2 and low carb diet. I also lost 50 lbs. Do you think I reversed my type 2?
What does fasting mean 22/2 ? Im a diabetic #2 need to lose 40 more pounds lost 37 pounds already, but this last 40 pounds having trouble with. Thanks for your help in advanced
Metformin ER and Farxiga caused horrible side effects. I've been on insulin for 30 years and need an oral agent to boost me but haven't found any that don't give me severe nausea and/or UTIs. Any suggestions?

The problem with most Diabetic meds is price. Even with Medicare helping with the price co pays can be $600for 3 months,especially when you hit the donut hole.
Interesting @lesw3803! Plaquenil is typically used for conditions like arthritis or lupus, not generally for diabetes. But, each body responds differently. Check with your doctor and glad you've gotten that A1c down! Keep up the good work 👍
I'm 20 pounds overweight but the Jardiance was also causing me low blood sugar incidence. So my endo increased my Trulicity dosage and took me off the Jardiance. So far I have stopped losing weight, but I haven't gained any back either and my A-1-C was 6.2 on my last blood draw. I have been having trouble wicking the blood onto my test strips because of residuals from a stroke I had following chemo and a bone marrow transplant. Some older diabetic neighbors have offered to help me figure that out. Dr Q said he was concerned about my blood calcium being a bit high and thinks it might be my thyroid, but the 100 microgram dosage of Synthroid makes my TSH level appear more or less normal. I tend to try to do certain things around my birthday, and one of them is getting annual stuff done. Any suggestions on additional thyroid tests I should asked about? (And yes, I am watching this video ON my 54th.)
Most likely have high calcium levels because of hyperparathyroidism! You may want to get it ultrasound of your thyroid to make sure that your parathyroid‘s are healthy . The blood test is PTH for parathyroid hormone .
Sugar Md might be different but I can tell that my "primary" Kaiser dr who just prescribed me, Metformin, Insulin, Atorvastatin, Lisinopril is only in it for the back end payment from the drug company. He even ordered Freestyle libre, which just showed up at my house (via the manufacturer or distributer) without my permission. It just showed up. even though he said Kaiser wouldn't cover it. I took the lisinopril and insulin for about 1 week then stopped. I gave up ALL forms of "garbage carbs". I did USED TO eat fast food, chips, rice, and French fries ( never was really into sweets) to healthy levels of true carbs and am losing weight, lowered my blood pressure back to 120/77. I need to up my exercise. But Why don't drs care anymore to even discuses natural change? They rather push pills at you even though the side effects of these drugs are much worse? Not sure why my blood sugars are still at 200-210 but will keep researching natural remodies. Because I am NOT "cheating" in any form.
So you think jardiance 25 mg will give hypoglycemia if i take it with low carb diet? Like metformin was giving me? And is that better than metformin? Please share your opinion thank you.
@@jesperwall839 so i am having some anxiety because when i was pregnant i got insulin and metformin and had panic attack went to ER 2 times i was having constantly low thats why after 1 year of giving birth my mind still having panic attack that if i take any blood sugar medicine or supplement even if i drink apple cider vinegar my mind is racing crazily that this will make me low blood sugar and i am passing out i cant stop thinking then my heart started racing rapidly i sweat like dying situation its been on and on 1 year😭
@@shifatjahan4309 The insulin can make you low, but not metformin 👍 When using insulin, you have to monitor the blood sugar levels before and after every meal. With only metformin you actually doesn’t need to monitor the levels at all as you can’t get to low. But you don’t want to get dehydrated and use metformin at the same time. Then there will be problems.
When are you going to start talking about STRESS and how this is a major contribution to Diabetes? Much of which is caused by confusion, worry and the drugs we are encouraged to use, when we become pre-diabetic or full blown diabetic!
Medication again? The danger of the side effects is unbelievable. I’ve been diabetic for 20 years. Experimented well on drugs all the way to insulin 2 different ones day and night. Did I improve? Nooooo. Always hungry because of the insulin and almost got bedridden till I got sleeve surgery side effects is heartburn and now I might go for bypass surgery. Crazy😡

What's keto?
True but if you need to have blood sugar goes down then medication must be taken. After you adjust your lifestyle, you can be off once your blood sugar is under control.
Low Carbohydrate.......Have not noticed this as much lately, but there are a lot of products labeled, "Keto Friendly".
