If my doctor had only told me this 20 years ago, when my A1C wad 5.4 instead of 6.4 now and damaged blood vessels. Thank God for the internet doctors that can explain things properly.
I'm 27 and 9 mouths ago my doctor told me that my A1C is 5.6, i had no idea what that means so i put no tought to it until my next results came in some 3 mounths ago it was 5.8. So i kinda freaked out, so i immediately started daily monitoring and i started a diet but 2 weeks in the diet i really started losing hope because my results were never under 5.5 so my doctor proposed taking some support supplementation and 1 week in i started getting results like 5.2 and 4.9, so here i am after 9 mouths since my first visit to the doctor im behaving myself taking my supplements and i haven't gotten anything higher than 4.8 on a daily basis. 😄
I started eating less simple sugars and carbs, which helped a lot. I also added Omega 3, Vitamin D from Now, and the Blood Sugar Support supplement from Nova to my routine. After sticking to this for a bit, I noticed my numbers consistently improving.@@PetarBibovski
@@robertcywes2966 what is a CAC? I’ve tried so hard to lower it and my A1C has never budged. Not while I was on Whole30, or on keto, and now on carnivore. It’s baffling.
@@robertcywes2966 I see that it is a heart scan. I do get complete blood work done and every year my score for future heart disease is at 0% because my bp, cholesterol, and triglycerides are so fantastic. I might ask my doctor about the CAC next. Thanks!
Gotta add that high carb high sugar diets, ESPECIALLY in combination with frequent coffee or alcohol, as is our wonderful custom in America, you become depleted in B1 (thiamine). BeriBeri is ignorantly assumed by arrogant doctors to be extinct in developed countries... Cuz we're so sophisticated i guess. We have an epidemic of wet beriberi evident by lower extremity edema, low ejection fraction heart failure... But also dry beriberi presenting as neuropathy because diabetics are 76% lower in B1 and their kidneys excrete it 16x faster as well. Don't forget about Shoshin beriberi which is GI issues including GERD symptoms and gastroparesis
Well jeez, that sounded like you know what the heck you’re talking about. Please do continue. I’ve stopped sugar and carbs almost all together. The alcohol and coffee, I guess, from what you’re saying is also a big problem.
Dr. Shawn Baker who literally wrote the book, "The Carnivore Diet says in one of his videos that his A1C is 6.4 and he's been carnivore for about 8 years. I think the range that's supposed to be good was based on people who aren't eating the carnivore diet. Mine hasn't changed and almost 2 years at 5.9 even though I've been doing Keto and then switched to Carnivore 10 months ago.
I saw an interview with 2 carnivore docs saying if you have longer living red blood cells, your H1ac will be higher, but not to be concerned if your triglycerides and HDL is good. This happened to me as I get to be more carnivore over time.
But MY A1C since Carnivore (440 days) went from 5.1 b4 Carnivore to 5.5 at 3 & 11 mos Carnivore! I'm 98 lbs 5'4" 68 yrs old, and HDL 84 Trigs 54, and other markers are great. I feel outstanding, but according to your short, I might be pre diabetic WHAT??? 😵💫
Longer living red blood cells( from a healthy diet like carnivore...?) Will show higher H1ac, but not to fear if your triglycerides and Hdl is stellar. This happened to me as I got more carnivore over time. Means you are healthier!
@juliebutler8241 exactly and that's why when the good doctor said what he said..... I'm ....WAIT a minute here! My red blood cells are living longer, my man!
Your body need time to adapt to fat, I guess your pancreas kick glucagon and force liver to produce sugar because you was very long dependent on carb burning energy. Eat meat and fat and your body will adjust. This is my opinion on situation you have but I may be wrong ofc :)
My A1C is at a 5.7. I don’t eat ANY processed foods. I eat meat, dairy and fruit. I do 48 hr fasting once a month. I think the problem was I traded in one form of sugar with another in ADDITION to overconsumption of animal proteins (gluco neo genesis). I either need to be more active like HIIT and weights (to utilize the energy from glucose and utilize the protein for tissue growth) or reduce carbs/proteins and increase fat consumption. Is my logic on the right track or am I missing something? 😮
Yes, they have these ranges designed to keep us believing we are fine, but in reality they are grooming us for chronic, autoimmune degeneration for Big Pharma profit. Just start fasting 2 days per week and get to 5.2 A1C.
If you are bang on with your food ala high in good fat low in oxalates low in carbohydrates the body is adept at healing itself if the gut is fed correctly.
Hi doc I’ve been carnivore for 3.5 months As the day goes by my sugar level goes down to between 4.5 and 5. But every morning it is around 8.5 to 9. I live on steak and eggs. Home made sausages and eggs and mince and eggs. I do have a little milk in my coffee. Can that be the problem ???
When sugar attaches to the red blood cells, shouln't it be called "glycation?". (ie, a non- enzymatic reaction). 'Glycosylation', on the other hand is an enzyme-mediated reaction- yes?
I eat 300 grams of carbohydrates daily, and my Hba1c is less than 4%. My fasting glucose is 70 mg/dl, and OGTT doesn't go beyond 140 mg/dl. Blood glucose going up after a meal means nothing. Keep yourself more insulin sensitive by keeping yourself lean, physically active, and eating fiber-rich foods. Low-carb is good for losing weight, for lifestyle is horrible for most people
Hi doc, can u help me understand these results, Ive been heavy fatty meat with eggs and some potato for months and my doctor is disgusted in these results and wants me low fat diet right away. But I’m abit confused on my results as never get them explained correctly because this doctor hasn’t a clue about nutrition! Pathology Investigations Serum lipid levels Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.8 mmol/L [1.0 - 3.0] Serum cholesterol level 8.2 mmol/L [1.5 - 5.51; Above high reference limit Serum triglyceride levels 3.18 mmol/L [0.5 - 2.01; Above high reference limit Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 4.6 ratio Serum non high density lipoprotein cholesterol level 6.4 mmol/L Serum LDL cholesterol level 4.9 mmol/L
Your HDL is high, which is good. Your LDL is very high, which traditional doctors will say is bad, but more open minded doctors will say doesn't matter all that much. Your triglycerides are very high, which is the real concern. You must get this down as low as possible, preferably below 1mmol/L. Are you sure you're not consuming more carbs than you think? @Gary-iy4oh
I eat a lpw carb no su:garat all but my blood sugar is still hi pmgh what is going on I have a stressful life can this cause adrenal fatigue and high BS?
I've been on a WFPB, high-carb, low-protein, no added fat diet for ~1 year and my A1c ranges has ranged from 4.6 to 5.1. Today I had watermelon, grapes, bananas, mangos, apple, potatoes, beans and veggies.
Give it a couple of years. WFPB for 6 years and ended up pre diabetic. I managed to reverse it by changing my diet thanks to Dr Cywes and other keto/carnivore doctors.
@jaym9846 A1c is 5.5 (was 5.8), total cholesterol is 195, triglycerides are 59, HDL 74. My doctor is happy. We'll keep monitoring things and make sure everything stays where it's supposed to.

Protein
I went on a no carb diet and my A1c went up! Still in shock. I eat no carbs whatsoever. No fruit.
Your body need time to adapt to fat, I guess your pancreas kick glucagon and force liver to produce sugar because you was very long dependent on carb burning energy. Eat meat and fat and your body will adjust. This is my opinion on situation you have but I may be wrong ofc :)
Also, your red blood cells live longer on carnivore that may be also cause in increased HbA1c on carnivore but this is good a uff not bad.
Protein
beware of organized gangstalking!!!!
What about longer living blood cells?
False high A1C. Fascinating research called pitfalls of A1C. It can be really inaccurate either high or low in anemia, pregnancy, etc
Paul Mason is incorrect
Wow i have been at 6 the last few A1C … need to do better
Just go fasting 2 days a week just below 600 cal. For me it's one meal a day - salad and steak on Thursday and Saturday.

Get a STELO TO TRACK BG

Raw milk
Dr. It is possible to reverse the damage by going zero carbs. Age 67 and A1c 5.7.
So how do we undo the damage we have done after eating the wrong way for years?

high in good fat

Dietary adjustment
Hi doc
I’ve been carnivore for 3.5 months
As the day goes by my sugar level goes down to between 4.5 and 5. But every morning it is around 8.5 to 9.
I live on steak and eggs. Home made sausages and eggs and mince and eggs.
I do have a little milk in my coffee.
Can that be the problem ???
Coffee, bone broth, bacon, eggs & steak are my daily foundational diet too! 👍☕️🍳🥓🥩
Look up the 'dawn phenomenon' effect, that is what you are experiencing.
Get some metformin
@@theconcealedmistressyou're crazy!
@cho7707 that guy said 8.5 to 9, he needs insulin and medical attention..

Yes!!!!
@@robertcywes2966 Thank you, Dr. Cywes for clearing my doubt🫡
My A1C is 5.6 and my doctor wants me to take Metformin. I will not I started fasting and doing carnivore for now. I gave up carbs
Does this diet or can it heal it ?
Potentially healable
So what is a good measurement for the Stelo device? The parameters are 70-140. What is a good level after meal?
I eat 300 grams of carbohydrates daily, and my Hba1c is less than 4%. My fasting glucose is 70 mg/dl, and OGTT doesn't go beyond 140 mg/dl.
Blood glucose going up after a meal means nothing. Keep yourself more insulin sensitive by keeping yourself lean, physically active, and eating fiber-rich foods. Low-carb is good for losing weight, for lifestyle is horrible for most people
