I am thankful to have found your channel. Type 2 diabetic for several years, no insulin, but on oral medications. No one has offered complete explanations like this. Starting a deep dive into your channel. Be the blessing!
Long ago I practiced The South Beach Diet which was very popular here in The States. It was related to The Atkins Diet but not as strict with carbohydrates at least in it's second phase. Much of the sound Type 2 diabetes diets seem related in some degree to The South Beach Diet. One of the key points in The South Beach Diet is to not over eat portion size, and to accomplish that Fats are recommend to reduce appetite cravings. Also snacks between main meals within your carbohydrate allowance. One of my favorites was a Fudgesicle about two hours after the meal. I also make use of this diet principles now that I'm 71 and Type 2 diabetic. My A1C scores are below a 7. I do exercise mainly by brisk walking two miles a day and take medications. Not insulin however. I think your video was very useful and insightful. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for making this understandable. Sometimes, there is so much information you need to absorb that it can get confusing. However, you break it down in a type of point form information and explanation that makes it easier to understand and take out thr confusion. Plus tips on how to manage or watch for. I have subscribed and will be checking all your videos and going to your links
Nice video, I started using the FreeStyle Libre sensor and Nightrider for last two weeks, It not only tracks my sugar levels but also give me alarms when I’m low or high. Amazing!
I used them for a few months but I kept having issues of them ripping off accidently sometimes or sensors just plain not working. 40 a pop they need to come down in price.
Might be a good video if you did one for prevention of Nighttime Hypo when would be best time to test and what to eat for slow steady instead of quick spike and going lower too quickly, so some foods we can eat so your normal in the morning. thanks
Hey bonnet Pretty much done this ruclips.net/video/zOmphcUzskA/видео.html Best time to eat would be straight before bed if you’re having hypos so it lasts the longest amount of time However, if you’re eating to prop up glucose levels, it means too much insulin Video here ruclips.net/video/zOmphcUzskA/видео.html In the type 1 diabetes section titled fixing overnight levels But can always record one specifically for hypos.
Just realised bonnet By watching the video you no doubt have type 2 diabetes However, the type 1 part is irrelevant I assume you’re on insulin so the same principles remain
@@diabetesdietguy I'm T2 struggling and going to try to reverse. I'm on full dose of Gliclazide. Lost half a Stone recently and wanting to loose another one and a half. Ive cut out Sugar now on Low Carb but recently I have had to take one tablet less in the morning or at night. Worried in case of Hypo's. Dont want to be going too far down especially overnight. Thanks 👍
@@bonnetnboot2128 ah got you So gliclazide basically makes your pancreas skirt out more insulin to accommodate high sugars from eating carbohydrates Now. If you aren’t eating or have gone low carb, this probably isn’t the right tablet anymore. And it should only be taken with food so just to clarify when you say at night - hopefully that’s not right before bed - if so - this is why ya going low! Better at dinner time. So well worth a discussion with ya doctor if you’re going low on it. As it’s over treating you currently if you’re going low Hope that helps
Hi Iv'e just subscribed to your channel. My mom was diagnozed with type 2 diabetes. Would like to know what amount of sugar is she allowed to consume on a daily basis in grams? I do however give her sugar free rusks for bfast only 1.2 gm of sugar..all her treats are sugar free. Iv'e taken her off milk and put her on almond milk. I do let her eat bfast, lunch and supper and every 2 or 3 hours a snack like a green apple. Would appreciate your reply.
Hi Yvette. I suspect guidance will vary country to country. In the UK we advise no more than 30g of free sugars. But really it’s more about total carb intake. As lots of snacks can be low sugar but high carb - which still effects blood sugar levels. Like low sugar sweets for example. This doesn’t mean carbs are bad, but it does mean if you have t2dm you have a problem absorbing carbs which is when high sugar levels occur. But it’s also all relative to what they are doing day to day like exercise, body weight, total amount of carbs in the diet, how their blood glucose control is and what meds they take for this etc.so it’s hard to give general advice. The total carb guidelines in the Uk are to limit carbs to about 150g per day. The big carb hitters are starch and free sugars (chocolate cake sweets etc). Hope that helps a bit
I have had type two for 10 years. Your mom's allowed absolutely zero sugar brother. No bread rice or potatoes. No added sugar, reduce saturated fat. Fiber and protein are her friend. Green leafy veg, lean meat, coniferous veg. Keep it to that.
You know low fat is a phallacy? Dietary fat doesn't make you fat. Carbs, glucose and insulin response does. Insulin will store unused glucose as fat. It's a good idea for diabetics to keep carb intake to a minimum to prevent insulin spikes and keep blood sugar levels controlled.
Hey Rustee Thanks for the comment I get this a lot and I’ve got a lot of videos on the subject and replied quite a lot on this topic so I’ll try keep it concise. What you say isn’t entirely true. When you actually work in the field every day and when you dive into the evidence extensively (not 6 month long studies that are poorly designed but more population studies over years - like Cochrane reviews etc) you see there’s actually a happy middle ground. And agree low fat is a myth but not in the way I suspect you mean. Low fat is a perception of bloggers who created a narrative that the low fat is the dietary advice. The actual guidance is to get about 35% of your calories from fat. So that’s about 700kcal a day on a 2000kcal diet Not really low fat but it’s the type of fat ya eating that’s important. Insulin will not store excess glucose as fat if you’re in a calorie deficit. If you only ate candy but only ate 500kcal per day for example, I’ll you will lose weight despite the fact the food you’re eating is pure sugar and spiking your insulin. So it’s a lot more nuanced than what you say. However I do agree if someone with type 2 diabetes is struggling to control their glucose levels, throwing loads of carbohydrates into their diet might not be the best idea short term However, if that’s part of an overall dietary overhaul and over time they’re eating healthy and exercising, you can quite easily turn back the diabetes clock and improve your glucose levels without going low carb
Wow brother. I'm super impressed. As a diabetic In remission, I can say you really know what your talking about except the bread. Brown bread and brown rice are just as bad as their white versions. They all spike my bloodsugar equally. You should know this if your instructing diabetics how to eat.
Appreciate the comment tony and well done for achieving remission. That’s awesome Re: bread and rice. It’s pretty well established that the lower GI carbs will raise glucose more slowly. I agree the overall carb load is the main contributing factor (the GL) so you’ll still get a spike if you’re prone to spikes eating that stuff regardless. But White and brown do not have exactly the same effect as you say. If you have documented evidence of that and captured over hundreds or thousands of people, then of course, some one like me would pay attention to that data - which is exactly what we do as healthcare pros - but if the evidence is anecdotal I.e. “I personally found this or that” - it’s not as valid. Not to say what you say isn’t correct for you per se, but when you look at large groups of people, changing from high to low GI will lower your HbA1c by about 8mmol/mol or just under 1% on average. Not to mention - anecdotally - consider I see an awful lot of glucose graphs as it’s my full time job, so I can get a pretty good feel of the difference between a brown or white for example and see it makes a difference typically for most people rather than just one or two people. Of course, brown can be misleading for some foods like bread as most brown bread is just white bread dyed brown. So there’s considerations on what type you’re having. Not that I know it all obviously, but I’ve seen enough and read enough to have confidence in this advice 👍 I think it’s fair to say the patient is the expert in their own care but the healthcare pro will have more experience across big groups as they see so much more data 👍
Yea that should be fine. Should be quite low carb but of course it always depends on what the manufacturer adds to them. But usually they should be ok.
I started taking the medication bought from Dr Igho RUclips channel and surprisingly it was working Gradually and in 9days everything Changed. I am really Excited that you helped me Cure my Disease Naturally & I pray that God bless you Dr Igho for the Good work
If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place. You make a difference, Dr Igudia thank you for curing my Type 2 diabetes and introducing your medical products to the worlds.
💥 Type 2 diabetes is caused basically by a high carb diet. With time, the body develops insulin resistance, and glucose can't enter the cells, and build up, causing all kinds of problems of diabetes. You need to end insulin resistance, by not ingesting carbohydrates, or keeping it to a minimal. While glucose levels are at the minimal, forces the body to run on ketones, which is a secondary path for the body to get energy, derived from fat and protein, that's why a ketogenic diet is good for type 2 diabetes. As time passes by, the body gradually reverses insulin resistance. But a wise person should never engage on a high carb diet again. ❤
Hi Dihelson Thanks for the comment But what you say isn’t accurate High carb diet doesn’t cause diabetes at all. Poor overall lifestyle and being overweight causes type 2 diabetes for the majority of people. In fact, the evidence is very clear. If you choose the right type of carbs and follow a general Mediterranean style diet the incidents of type 2 diabetes go down - basically every study looking at this shows this time and time and time again.
Times used to be very Challenging, I had the worst days of my life living with diabetes, I appreciate you so much Dr Igudia, You have restored me my life that was lost already . Thank you so much for curing me of my diabetes with your natural Herbs
Thank you for being the dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate doctor that you are, you are more honest than I imagined, thank you so much Dr Igudia RUclips channel for curing my type 2 diabetes, you are amazing

Maybe it spikes yours, it doesn't do it to mine.
what about pickled foods like pickled beets beans all that stuff? can we still eat that? its low carb and low sugars
Yea that should be fine. Should be quite low carb but of course it always depends on what the manufacturer adds to them. But usually they should be ok.
I just found out I'm type 2. I rather die than give up my favorite things
Why???
Good luck bro
I totally understand 😞
Do not let them suck you into their sticky (pun intended) web. Watch your diet, use portion control.
are you type one or two?
