🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank You, I was "Was" and "Had" borderline diabetes and High blood pressure and by making small changes in my food and increasing my daily exercise Meditation 🧘♀️ and Prayer I have been off all meds and loosing weight and have enjoyed my life and relationships with others. There is no quick fix or perfect pill. I enjoyed this video. I now believe I can go back to the meds and depression if I go back to the way of eating and living as I did in the past. Thank you for the wellness you bring to our lives by your medical talents. Peace to your Spirit! Live well Doc and Be well 😘
Brilliant dr. Hansen! Educated about the body is priceless and something i know i need to understand better for my dad has diabetes and has tons of prescription meds.
Thanks for addressing hyperinsulinemia. Too many docs are still looking at glucose and glucose alone. I've had to educate my Primary Care doc by sending links to studies and research. It's been a battle. I do IF and extended Fasts, LCHF diet reversed my 20plus years Type 2. Worked on that beginning June 2021. I had to drag her along with me LOL
@@catherinewilson1079 I told my doctor what I was doing, I didn't ask her permission. I did it. My improved numbers does all the speaking. Plus I had medical and scientific research in my back pocket. I'm a grown up.
Yeah, we seem to miss the elephant in the room. Why can't we link carbohydrates with insulin resistance. We haven't heard anything like "Essential carbohydrates". Why do we still cling onto the carbohydrates.
@@kvinayagamoorthy I reversed my severe chronic insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from my diet all whilst eating fruit, white potatoes, white rice, noodles/pasta, freshly baked bread, puff pastry, 100% orange juice with pulp.
Thank you, Dr. Hansen, I now have a clear understanding of diabetes. I have begun exercising every day and I am still on the meds. I have a blood test next month so hopefully, I will go off the meds. Thank you.
Hi Dr.Hansen good see you again great video all your videos is great Dr.Hansen is a awesome doctor and the best take care pal you have a great day 👊💪💪💪👍👍
104 is a great fasting level. 89 is only incrementally lower. Test yourself and use the same dietary consumption. I suspect the ovepriced GNC supplements which are not tested by the FDA are anectotal.

Since, I was diagnosed with diabetes 8 months ago, I have worked hard to get off my 2 metformines a day that i was taking. My aim was to reduce my insuline resistence, so I started working out harder and harder and since last 2 months I am off the meds and yet my daily sugar intake is zero and my carbs intake is to necessary levels only.
My horse has insulin resistance that caused laminitis (inflammation in hoof lining), which leads to pain & lameness. Diet of low sugar & exercise as tolerate (& keeping weight down) is a constant battle to keep him doing well.
But the problem isn’t just added sugars. If you get a continuous glucose monitor you will see things like cereals, pastas, potatoes all raise you BG levels a lot (especially if you are insulin resistant)…meaning your body must produce a lot of insulin to bring down those glucose levels. The fact is that doctors need to put their patients on CGMs LONG before any other therapy. That continuous stream of data will quickly teach anyone what they can and cannot eat. Their weight will drop. Their hbA1C will drop. Their hypertension will drop. You will be de-prescribing a lot of medications.
This was so informative and frightening I'm worried that I was misdiagnosed I mean they say I don't have high blood pressure and I haven't tension and I'm 65 but I'm having problems in my legs and now I'm going to go show this to my doctor. I know he's going to poo poo it away but then I'm going to go get a second opinion thank you so much forever grateful.
One thing that I found helped my weight and blood sugar was every morning I drink a cup of water with 1-2tbsp of apple cider vinegar as well a tsp of cinnamon powder 1-2 times a day and it made whole lot a difference
Good vid as always! Very informative! Frustrated here have elevated insulin level but A1C is normal, blood sugar always good… prob need to change up more with diet to bring down that insulin? Don’t eat really any refined sugars? I’ll get it down eventually! Thanks for video
The added sugar in our typical north American diet is a time bomb! I learned this from Dr Fung. With an aic of 5.9 recently I have gone on a one meal a day intermittent fasting plan and cut out all added sugar and most dietary sugar (fruits). The fasting makes it easier to adhere to but MAN ditching sugar is almost as hard as it was to stop smoking! (after 15 years @ 40)
I had severe chronic insulin resistance for decades. My insulin was sky high even after a 16 hour fast for a blood test. I reversed this by removing all refined sugar from my diet. I used to craved sugar so severely for decades and I was only able to stop after correcting magnesium levels in particular as well as vitamin B12 and the final piece of the puzzle omega 3. I went from severe sugar cravings to none! I switched to eating fruit for dessert. Red delicious apples, ripe bananas, pears in natural juice, watermelon, green grapes, oranges, strawberries. And use raw honey as a substitute for sugar. My diet still contains white rice, white potatoes, pasta, 100% orange juice with pulp, puff pastry, freshly baked bread when I get around to making it (so good with butter and vegemite lol).
Like so many Americans, I am pre-diabetic and had gestational diabetes. I don’t like most sweets; love veggies; and cook at home. I am active. It isn’t as simple as saying “don’t eat processed foods and be active.” If it were, I wouldn’t be pre-diabetic.
Im amazed how having apple cider vinegar in water before a meal containing carbs dropped my bgl from 9-12 mmol/l to 5 or 6. Its nutty but seems to work
Do you have a video on the latest vaccine study from Thailand about heart damage in 13 - 18 year olds? I would really like to hear your thoughts on the risk/reward with the percentage of injuries being so high. I would also like any thoughts on the leading cause of death in Alberta Canada being unknown causes by twice the amount of #2 and #3 combined. What is causing this?
Really appreciate this, Dr. Hansen. I'm not a hard core exercise person, but I do like to dance, and I have to do stairs to get mail. :) Take care. You're looking nice.
Dr. Mike: you state that high insulin isn't related to or caused by high glucose, most of the time. Effectively, you're suggesting diabetes is not caused by high glucose but by high insulin due to insulin resistance. No issues with your logic here. You then propose limiting carb and sugar in diet to control diabetes, but how is attenuating carb intake going to control insulin resistance since you yourself stated there isn't a connection between blood glucose and insulin? This is a non sequitur. It doesn't follow and a leap in logic. As for exercise, I do recall some preliminary studies suggesting fatty deposits within muscle blunting insulin receptivity within muscles, but that's entirely speculative at the moment. Personally, I think there's some truth to this and suspect this primarily is a lifestyle issue, in that insulin resistance is related to being overfat, not necessarily overweight, and BMI isn't helpful as a personal assesment tool here. Therefore, limiting carbs all you want won't improve insulin resistance if you continue to be overfat. Let's not lose sight of the big picture. Body composition needs to be the goal, and nutrition as well as exercise are tools to improve health markers. Obsessing over one macro ingredient in that big picture seems to me to be counterproductive.
I’m 26 and I’ve struggled with my weight for a long time, since I was a teen. In 2018 I lost a lot of weight but in an unhealthy way. I’m trying to mend my relationship with food because diabetes, kidney disease and high blood pressure run in my family unfortunately and I know if I don’t get control of it now it’ll happen to me too. I have binge eating disorder so it’s been hard and being in my toxic relationship is also not helping me mend anything. I try to watch my portions but yeah I’ve got a long way to go as I need to lose around 100 pounds or more to be at a healthy weight. It’s hard and feels impossible sometimes but maybe I need to try keto 🤔🤔
@Michaela valek~ you have some challenges to overcome to gain control of your physical and mental health, but awareness is a gift. Read the other comments and you will find some interesting perspectives that may help you on your journey. Portion control, daily exercise (walking), fresh air, adequate water intake, and adequate sleep all contribute to physical and mental health. You mention Keto, also consider Weight Watchers or TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), they offer peer support. If you have not done so this year, schedule a visit with your Doctor for a physical. You can discuss your concerns, options for healthy changes, and get lab work done to see your baselines for sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, thyroid, etc. You can do anything you set your mind to, you are strong and capable. Anything and anyone that does not add value and support for you to be your best, does not deserve your time or care. Best of luck to you, be safe and be well.
Yep, try KETO. It's restrictive in some ways but it tastes good because... FAT! Try to do a smooth Intermittant fasting with it if possible and you will reverse your insulin resistance, lose weight & feel amazing. Now it's time to Stop THINKING and Start DOING. Good Luck 😎
So, the improvements I’ve made in diet and exercise will improve insulin levels, too? (See my first comment, please for the changes I made). It’s depressing to learn that I got kidney damage before my blood sugar level we up, I never ate a sugary diet, drank soda, or ate processed foods, desserts or candy, etc., but did eat simple carbs. We weren’t allowed to eat sugar in my childhood, so I never developed a taste for them. Those carbs were so vigorously promoted as a healthier than a diet containing fats! The low-fat diet recommendations were disastrous for Americans’ health, we are all much fatter, more diabetic, have more CV disease, and are overall sicker than before. I always ate so carefully, according to the best, then-current recommendations, but ended up with excess body fat, hyperlipidemia (this might be genetic), incipient diabetes, fatty liver, etc.
I was diagnosed with type 2 about 6 years ago. I keep tight control of my A1C which is 5.4. I take 35u of Lantus. Do you believe that stopping Lantus would be beneficial? I did trial it a couple of months ago, but my blood glucose got up to 140 to 160, which made me very uncomfortable (emotionally), so started Lantus again.
My doctor told me my A1C was creeping up and to change my diet to prevent Type II diabetes. This I immediately did, by eliminating all sugar, processed foods and simple carbs (except for two servings daily of fresh fruit, its nutrition, water and fiber content offsets its simple sugars), including bread, pasta, rice, starchy veggies, and potatoes. I was able to reduce it further by daily 60-minute walks, which also caused 40-lb. weight loss, helping even more. But how do I know if I have insulin resistance? I do have mild fatty liver disease and hyperlipidemia since my youth (taking med for that), but low blood pressure, annoyingly low, I can faint if I stand up too fast from bending or squatting, etc., but that’s been lifelong and seems to be familial.
So in my case, my Dr. checked the amount of insulin and my a1c. My insulin hormone level was all normal but my a1c was elevated. This shows that I am insulin resistance because I have insulin hormone but my cells are resistant to its uptake. I will need to take medication to increase my cells insulin sensitivity rather than take external insulin.
Sounds like the deprivation diet I was on when I was first diagnosed in 1998. I watched my diet religiously for 3+ years and I still developed insulin resistance. I'd get a huge spsike just walking through the produce dept. My doc put me on metformin so I could enjoy life again. i's worked well all these years.
I have diabetes for 15plus years and I have high blood sugars is keto a good diet to get blood sugars down? I have heart disease and cardiovascular disease
If you eat no glucose the body will have to produce its own. And the body will just give you enough not diabetic range. And if you combine with fasting you will improve your insulin resistance.
Hey Dr. I was told I have H. pylori in my stool and E. Coli in my urinary tract and they want me to take Levofloxacin but that antibiotic causes liver failure. I never picked it up! I’ve also been having foamy urine for a year now but no protein was found in my urine culture. I also did an Kidney ultrasound and it was normal. Now They Want Me To Get Doxycycline Monohydrate 100mg tablet, 14 tablets. I have had terrible luck with doctors and I’m hesitant. What should I do? On Sunday I had burning sensation while urinating a minor blood but that went away on its own yesterday and pain on my right leg under my calf. I’m only 33 years old African Man! What do you suggest I take? God bless you
Thanks you Dr Igudia on RUclips for all you do in my life and my family. I went for a test today after taking the medication i ordered from Dr Igudia and I tested type 2 diabetes’s negative. Thanks doctor I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir
I'm wondering if Trulicity is a better option for me. I asked my doctor if I could try it. I have primary biliary chirosis , among other diseases, and with long- and short-term insulin it is all over the place. I am stable with trulicity, which helps the pancreas to make insulin.
Trulicity mimicked bariatric surgery for me. I physically could just not eat much. It worked for awhile but my appetite returned. The potential side effects of that meds were frightening to me,
@@davidanderson8469 Judi Labatto 0 seconds ago I became type 2 after an allergic reaction to an eye medicine from cataract surgery. It gave me an unbearable UTC that took forever to recover from.

I’m diabetic type 2 , I have it under control. I don’t trust dieting like Keto . I walk and bike to control it and also look at what I eat . I take 3 pils a day for diabetes and one for blood pressure. And a shot every week (ozempic) .
I was like you controlling my blood sugar with meds and exercise but I still cane up with Kidney failure, stage 3 and eye damage. I kept my HbA1c under 7. I was shocked. It's the Insulin rise, the hyperinsllnemia as it's called that does the most damage including HBP.
@@grecuccionicola insulin or glucose. Insulin can be checked by a Fasted blood draw using either a C-peptide or a specialized Insulin draw., Insulin-in-blood. To baseline, do a Fasted Draw, 12-14hrs after your last meal ans a "Loaded" draw (after a meal) to see how high it rises.
So, I noticed he goes out of his way to mention the problem with the diet is eliminating processed foods, so Doctor, can I fix my insulin resistance by eating a diet full of fruit? after all they are "natural"
Yes I did just that. I had severe insulin resistance for decades with sky high insulin levels (even after a 16 fast for a blood test). I reversed my severe insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from my diet. I started eating fruit for dessert instead and use raw honey as a sugar substitute as well. Both fruit and raw honey are anti inflammatory for a start. Insulin resistance and diabetes are inflammatory conditions. But a notable difference is with digestion of the sugars. It’s easy to spill over refined sugar to the liver as it’s high dose fructose. “Low doses of fructose are ~90% cleared by the intestine, with only trace fructose but extensive fructose-derived glucose, lactate, and glycerate found in the portal blood. High doses of fructose (≥1 g/kg) overwhelm intestinal fructose absorption and clearance, resulting in fructose reaching both the liver and colonic microbiota.” “We were surprised to find that the small intestine metabolizes almost all dietary fructose, especially for modest doses of fructose like those found in fruit,” explains Rabinowitz. Data from the present study show that ∼90% of dietary fructose is converted into glucose and other metabolites, such as lactate and glycerate, by the small intestine before it reaches the liver. The researchers found that they could overload the metabolizing capacity of the small intestine by feeding mice a high dose of fructose. When the small intestine was saturated with fructose, increased amounts of unmetabolized fructose entered the liver and some even entered the colon, where it fed the microbiota. The researchers propose that the small intestine shields or protects the liver from fructose toxicity.”
Makes sense, but what about all those (no sugar) products that sweeten your food? They add no calories but do they trigger an insulin response? Is it even dangerous to over-sweet with these fluids/powders/tablets the food and get chronic diseases either way?
Diet is very important, 1 body unable to make insulin autoimmune disease , Diabetes 2 is related too much sugar intake ,so stimulating insulin by medication brings , insulin resistance and then bring fort chronic disease of our organs in the long run..[Change of Diet ]..Amazing Dr Mike 👍
I had severe insulin resistance for decades. I ate a high % of refined sugar in my diet. But at the same time I was eating intermittent fasting style and low calories which explains why I never had high glucose levels, fatty liver or diabetes. But my insulin was very high on labs even after a 16 hour fast. I did reverse my insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from diet (only possible to stop my severe sugar cravings with magnesium in particular, vitamin B12 and omega 3..I was deficient in all 3). I remember waking up clear headed and alert. So novel! I easily lost weight - in total 23 kg with no effort. I also felt hungry once the insulin went down. My symptoms of chronically high insulin included AN - acanthosis nigricans…first noticed dark skin on my elbows age 15 but showed up elsewhere on the back of my neck and armpits, no waist - waist hip ratio was like 0.94 from memory, could not lose weight even when I did a job walking for hours a day for a year (my blood pressure and heart rate were excellent due to all the exercise), very large buffalo hump on the back of my neck, fatigue/lethargic, not clear headed, grew 3cms in my 30’s from 172 cm to 175 cm!, reduced appetite, loss of magnesium and zinc (and the long list of symptoms from both!), cellular hypothyroidism, kidneys not up to scratch although seems fine if I don’t tax it with daily magnesium…I had kidney failure from low dose daily magnesium, an ugh feeling of just getting out of the ocean and all sticky from the salt water and then being sunburnt lol I guess it’s a neurological symptom.
Both of my parents had diabetes so I was at high risk of getting it. This is why I exercise, live on a keto diet, drink oodles of water each day, etc. I also take lots of supplements as well and my sugar is mostly great.
Did acidosis occur? Did disneea occur? Did dispneea decrease mucoseal respiratory temperature? Did SARS COV2 better replicate at low tissue temperature? (see what say Christian Drosten at TWiV 659 at min29)

Great insights! Any commentary on high fat diets contributing to insulin resistance as well?
Check out a great RUclips video called The Food Revolution 2011 This video talks about the low carb high fat (LCHF) diet and mentions the 2 year investigation into LCHF which this Diabetes UK article talks about…
Low Carb High Fat Diet
Written by Editor on January 15, 2019 · Last reviewed on June 10, 2022
The low carb, high fat diet (LCHF diet) has developed a strong following in Scandinavia, having originated in Sweden.
The story goes that Swedish GP Dr Annika Dahlqvist was subject to an investigation after being reported for recommending a low carb, high fat diet to her patients.
The investigation though cleared Dr Dahlqvist of wrong doing based on their findings that her methods were scientifically sound.
What is the low carb, high fat diet?
As the name suggests, the diet suggests eating high fat and low carbohydrate foods.
Who is the diet for?
The diet, because of its low requirement for insulin, has been recognised by the Swedish government as being suitable for people with type 2 diabetes and as helpful to individuals looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Which foods can I eat on the LCHF diet? - Green light foods
The following foods are compliant with the diet:
Dairy : natural yoghurt, cheese, cream, butter
Meat
Fish
Eggs
Vegetables
Olive oil and canola oil (organically grown and cold-pressed)
Home made sauces
The recommendation of the low carb, high fat diet is that people eat full fat versions of dairy food in preference to low fat options.
The diet does not rule out fatty meats and instead encourages people to leave the fat on rather than removing it.
Organic versions of foods are suggested where possible.
What food can I have up to moderate amounts? - Amber light foods
The following foods can be eaten in moderate amounts:
Bean and lentils
Nuts, almonds and sunflower seeds
Fruit (not including dried fruit)
Chocolate with a high cocoa quantity (65 to 90%)
Sausages can be eaten occasionally but can include undesirable additives.
Alcohol can be included with the note that it is fattening and can lead to imbalances in blood sugar.
What should be avoided on the diet? - Red light foods
The diet suggests that only a minimal amount of the following should be eaten:
Potato, rice, bread, flour and corn based products
Other cereal-based products - such as pasta, pastry, biscuits and breakfast cereals.
Dried fruit
Sweets and cakes
Sugary drinks
Margarines
Omega-6 based oils - such as corn, sunflower, safflower, soybean and peanut oil
How can I find more information about the LCHF diet?
A great introduction is the book, ‘Diabetes, No thanks’.
The book is an English language description of one man’s journey from his diagnosis of diabetes, through to controlling his diabetes with the diet alone.”
Please do more videos on this subject. Also, on how to use diet to help control or fix this problem.

Check out Dr Jason Fung on RUclips. He shows how to reverse that with diet.

I switched to eating fruit for dessert. Red delicious apples, ripe bananas, pears in natural juice, watermelon, green grapes, oranges, strawberries. And use raw honey as a substitute for sugar. My diet still contains white rice, white potatoes, pasta, 100% orange juice with pulp, puff pastry, freshly baked bread when I get around to making it (so good with butter and vegemite lol).
A 5.9 is nothing to worry about. It'll take 25 more years of a 5.9 to do any substantial damage. It's more dangerous driving your car.
@@ScarlettDuchess You may be right about magnesium; I’ve been getting light leg cramps at night lately.
i just can’t comprehend how fruit can make one sick? (of course in moderation)
This was good! Will you talk about type one diabetes in a video too?
Hi "dr” Mike.
Can you talk about ozempic ?
Hello doctor how are you now are you ok hope you to be healthy
One of the reasons I weened myself off insulin injections (Dr supervised) A1C even improved. Down to 6%👍🏻
They do find carcinogenic compounds in medications including Metformin and Januvia but those episodes seem to pass quickly.
Like so many Americans, I am pre-diabetic and had gestational diabetes. I don’t like most sweets; love veggies; and cook at home. I am active. It isn’t as simple as saying “don’t eat processed foods and be active.” If it were, I wouldn’t be pre-diabetic.
Im amazed how having apple cider vinegar in water before a meal containing carbs dropped my bgl from 9-12 mmol/l to 5 or 6.
Its nutty but seems to work
Aloha 🌺 Thank you!
Do you have a video on the latest vaccine study from Thailand about heart damage in 13 - 18 year olds? I would really like to hear your thoughts on the risk/reward with the percentage of injuries being so high. I would also like any thoughts on the leading cause of death in Alberta Canada being unknown causes by twice the amount of #2 and #3 combined. What is causing this?
The sound effect when a graphic pops up is unnecessary and annoying.
Really appreciate this, Dr. Hansen. I'm not a hard core exercise person, but I do like to dance, and I have to do stairs to get mail. :) Take care. You're looking nice.
Dr. Mike: you state that high insulin isn't related to or caused by high glucose, most of the time.
Effectively, you're suggesting diabetes is not caused by high glucose but by high insulin due to insulin resistance. No issues with your logic here.
You then propose limiting carb and sugar in diet to control diabetes, but how is attenuating carb intake going to control insulin resistance since you yourself stated there isn't a connection between blood glucose and insulin?
This is a non sequitur. It doesn't follow and a leap in logic.
As for exercise, I do recall some preliminary studies suggesting fatty deposits within muscle blunting insulin receptivity within muscles, but that's entirely speculative at the moment.
Personally, I think there's some truth to this and suspect this primarily is a lifestyle issue, in that insulin resistance is related to being overfat, not necessarily overweight, and BMI isn't helpful as a personal assesment tool here. Therefore, limiting carbs all you want won't improve insulin resistance if you continue to be overfat.
Let's not lose sight of the big picture. Body composition needs to be the goal, and nutrition as well as exercise are tools to improve health markers. Obsessing over one macro ingredient in that big picture seems to me to be counterproductive.
Thanks for the video Dr. It'd be even better without those sound FX, they are way too loud compared to your voice and they are annoying.
Words aren’t enough for me to show how I grateful I am for helping me to get rid of my diabetes Dr Igudia.
Better food; intermittent fasting; exercise; sleep ... meditation. Manage expectations. Its a very difficult balance in a working life.
I’m 26 and I’ve struggled with my weight for a long time, since I was a teen. In 2018 I lost a lot of weight but in an unhealthy way. I’m trying to mend my relationship with food because diabetes, kidney disease and high blood pressure run in my family unfortunately and I know if I don’t get control of it now it’ll happen to me too. I have binge eating disorder so it’s been hard and being in my toxic relationship is also not helping me mend anything. I try to watch my portions but yeah I’ve got a long way to go as I need to lose around 100 pounds or more to be at a healthy weight. It’s hard and feels impossible sometimes but maybe I need to try keto 🤔🤔
@Michaela valek~ you have some challenges to overcome to gain control of your physical and mental health, but awareness is a gift. Read the other comments and you will find some interesting perspectives that may help you on your journey. Portion control, daily exercise (walking), fresh air, adequate water intake, and adequate sleep all contribute to physical and mental health. You mention Keto, also consider Weight Watchers or TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), they offer peer support. If you have not done so this year, schedule a visit with your Doctor for a physical. You can discuss your concerns, options for healthy changes, and get lab work done to see your baselines for sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, thyroid, etc. You can do anything you set your mind to, you are strong and capable. Anything and anyone that does not add value and support for you to be your best, does not deserve your time or care. Best of luck to you, be safe and be well.
@@KB-ct7th what an amazing comment, bless you 😍
@@PersianLion78 Blessings to you, as well.
Yep, try KETO. It's restrictive in some ways but it tastes good because... FAT! Try to do a smooth Intermittant fasting with it if possible and you will reverse your insulin resistance, lose weight & feel amazing. Now it's time to Stop THINKING and Start DOING. Good Luck 😎
@@KB-ct7th weight watchers or anything u gotta pay for is bs
I bet your parents are so proud.
So, the improvements I’ve made in diet and exercise will improve insulin levels, too? (See my first comment, please for the changes I made). It’s depressing to learn that I got kidney damage before my blood sugar level we up, I never ate a sugary diet, drank soda, or ate processed foods, desserts or candy, etc., but did eat simple carbs. We weren’t allowed to eat sugar in my childhood, so I never developed a taste for them. Those carbs were so vigorously promoted as a healthier than a diet containing fats! The low-fat diet recommendations were disastrous for Americans’ health, we are all much fatter, more diabetic, have more CV disease, and are overall sicker than before. I always ate so carefully, according to the best, then-current recommendations, but ended up with excess body fat, hyperlipidemia (this might be genetic), incipient diabetes, fatty liver, etc.
I was diagnosed with type 2 about 6 years ago. I keep tight control of my A1C which is 5.4. I take 35u of Lantus. Do you believe that stopping Lantus would be beneficial? I did trial it a couple of months ago, but my blood glucose got up to 140 to 160, which made me very uncomfortable (emotionally), so started Lantus again.
My doctor told me my A1C was creeping up and to change my diet to prevent Type II diabetes. This I immediately did, by eliminating all sugar, processed foods and simple carbs (except for two servings daily of fresh fruit, its nutrition, water and fiber content offsets its simple sugars), including bread, pasta, rice, starchy veggies, and potatoes. I was able to reduce it further by daily 60-minute walks, which also caused 40-lb. weight loss, helping even more. But how do I know if I have insulin resistance? I do have mild fatty liver disease and hyperlipidemia since my youth (taking med for that), but low blood pressure, annoyingly low, I can faint if I stand up too fast from bending or squatting, etc., but that’s been lifelong and seems to be familial.
So in my case, my Dr. checked the amount of insulin and my a1c. My insulin hormone level was all normal but my a1c was elevated. This shows that I am insulin resistance because I have insulin hormone but my cells are resistant to its uptake. I will need to take medication to increase my cells insulin sensitivity rather than take external insulin.
Sounds like the deprivation diet I was on when I was first diagnosed in 1998. I watched my diet religiously for 3+ years and I still developed insulin resistance. I'd get a huge spsike just walking through the produce dept. My doc put me on metformin so I could enjoy life again. i's worked well all these years.
Please make some Covid videos again
I have diabetes for 15plus years and I have high blood sugars is keto a good diet to get blood sugars down? I have heart disease and cardiovascular disease
If you eat no glucose the body will have to produce its own. And the body will just give you enough not diabetic range. And if you combine with fasting you will improve your insulin resistance.
When all cells close due to insulin resistance, where do all the glucose end up ?
Hey Dr. I was told I have H. pylori in my stool and E. Coli in my urinary tract and they want me to take Levofloxacin but that antibiotic causes liver failure. I never picked it up! I’ve also been having foamy urine for a year now but no protein was found in my urine culture. I also did an Kidney ultrasound and it was normal. Now They Want Me To Get Doxycycline Monohydrate 100mg tablet, 14 tablets. I have had terrible luck with doctors and I’m hesitant. What should I do? On Sunday I had burning sensation while urinating a minor blood but that went away on its own yesterday and pain on my right leg under my calf. I’m only 33 years old African Man! What do you suggest I take? God bless you
Thanks you Dr Igudia on RUclips for all you do in my life and my family. I went for a test today after taking the medication i ordered from Dr Igudia and I tested type 2 diabetes’s negative. Thanks doctor I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir
I'm wondering if Trulicity is a better option for me. I asked my doctor if I could try it. I have primary biliary chirosis , among other diseases, and with long- and short-term insulin it is all over the place. I am stable with trulicity, which helps the pancreas to make insulin.
Trulicity mimicked bariatric surgery for me. I physically could just not eat much. It worked for awhile but my appetite returned. The potential side effects of that meds were frightening to me,

I became type 2 after an allergic reaction to an eye medicine from cataract surgery. It gave me an unbearable UTC that took forever to recover from. I drank way too much cranberry juice, had a regular blood test and boom, here I am. What about the injections scared you?
@@judilabatto7122 The injections were nothing. The constant bloating,burping and mild nausea were just too much for me. The potential damage to kidneys and other warnings spooked me but any meds have their warnings. It's an option for you. They say before we get type 2 we've probably been pre-diabetic for ten years. best of luck.
i have diabetes type 2 for 10 years. practice keto diet, never take a single pill
Does it really help with high blood sugars? I hear keto is good and bad for diabetics
@@nativedoll3557 read jason fung books and watch dr eric berg youtube video. also i m guided with a nutritionist. keto helps to lower my blood sugar back to normal range.
of course, i also do intermittent fasting
@@nativedoll3557 When people say it’s good or bad you have to consider the source. And the simple answer is that it a good thing not eating glucose.
Dr. Morse on utube says eating fruit is the best. He explains fruit sugars and a whole lot more.

I’m diabetic type 2 , I have it under control. I don’t trust dieting like Keto . I walk and bike to control it and also look at what I eat .
I take 3 pils a day for diabetes and one for blood pressure. And a shot every week (ozempic) .
Its easier to just avoid eating glucose and get med free.
I was like you controlling my blood sugar with meds and exercise but I still cane up with Kidney failure, stage 3 and eye damage. I kept my HbA1c under 7. I was shocked. It's the Insulin rise, the hyperinsllnemia as it's called that does the most damage including HBP.
@@anomarnamloh7444 I keep my insulin low , I try , but I don’t believe that you can do without medication,
@@grecuccionicola insulin or glucose. Insulin can be checked by a Fasted blood draw using either a C-peptide or a specialized Insulin draw., Insulin-in-blood. To baseline, do a Fasted Draw, 12-14hrs after your last meal ans a "Loaded" draw (after a meal) to see how high it rises.
So, I noticed he goes out of his way to mention the problem with the diet is eliminating processed foods, so Doctor, can I fix my insulin resistance by eating a diet full of fruit? after all they are "natural"
Yes I did just that. I had severe insulin resistance for decades with sky high insulin levels (even after a 16 fast for a blood test). I reversed my severe insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from my diet. I started eating fruit for dessert instead and use raw honey as a sugar substitute as well. Both fruit and raw honey are anti inflammatory for a start. Insulin resistance and diabetes are inflammatory conditions. But a notable difference is with digestion of the sugars. It’s easy to spill over refined sugar to the liver as it’s high dose fructose.
“Low doses of fructose are ~90% cleared by the intestine, with only trace fructose but extensive fructose-derived glucose, lactate, and glycerate found in the portal blood. High doses of fructose (≥1 g/kg) overwhelm intestinal fructose absorption and clearance, resulting in fructose reaching both the liver and colonic microbiota.”
“We were surprised to find that the small intestine metabolizes almost all dietary fructose, especially for modest doses of fructose like those found in fruit,” explains Rabinowitz. Data from the present study show that ∼90% of dietary fructose is converted into glucose and other metabolites, such as lactate and glycerate, by the small intestine before it reaches the liver.
The researchers found that they could overload the metabolizing capacity of the small intestine by feeding mice a high dose of fructose. When the small intestine was saturated with fructose, increased amounts of unmetabolized fructose entered the liver and some even entered the colon, where it fed the microbiota. The researchers propose that the small intestine shields or protects the liver from fructose toxicity.”
The POPS are so loud they have impact on the narrative!
Makes sense, but what about all those (no sugar) products that sweeten your food? They add no calories but do they trigger an insulin response? Is it even dangerous to over-sweet with these fluids/powders/tablets the food and get chronic diseases either way?
Aspertame actually causes me to crave sugar. I can't tolerate Stevia or the other "natural" sugar substitutes.
Diet is very important, 1 body unable to make insulin autoimmune disease , Diabetes 2 is related too much sugar intake ,so stimulating insulin by medication brings , insulin resistance and then bring fort chronic disease of our organs in the long run..[Change of Diet ]..Amazing Dr Mike 👍
I had severe insulin resistance for decades. I ate a high % of refined sugar in my diet. But at the same time I was eating intermittent fasting style and low calories which explains why I never had high glucose levels, fatty liver or diabetes.
But my insulin was very high on labs even after a 16 hour fast. I did reverse my insulin resistance removing all refined sugar from diet (only possible to stop my severe sugar cravings with magnesium in particular, vitamin B12 and omega 3..I was deficient in all 3). I remember waking up clear headed and alert. So novel! I easily lost weight - in total 23 kg
with no effort. I also felt hungry once the insulin went down.
My symptoms of chronically high insulin included AN - acanthosis nigricans…first noticed dark skin on my elbows age 15 but showed up elsewhere on the back of my neck and armpits, no waist - waist hip ratio was like 0.94 from memory, could not lose weight even when I did a job walking for hours a day for a year (my blood pressure and heart rate were excellent due to all the exercise), very large buffalo hump on the back of my neck, fatigue/lethargic, not clear headed, grew 3cms in my 30’s from 172 cm to 175 cm!, reduced appetite, loss of magnesium and zinc (and the long list of symptoms from both!), cellular hypothyroidism, kidneys not up to scratch although seems fine if I don’t tax it with daily magnesium…I had kidney failure from low dose daily magnesium, an ugh feeling of just getting out of the ocean and all sticky from the salt water and then being sunburnt lol I guess it’s a neurological symptom.
Let's talk about results, not studies. 1000's of people reverse their type 2 diabetes- how did they get these results?
Wait a minute what, 😕 let me go get a pen and write this down.
Both of my parents had diabetes so I was at high risk of getting it. This is why I exercise, live on a keto diet, drink oodles of water each day, etc. I also take lots of supplements as well and my sugar is mostly great.
Why do you suffering of High blood sugar and insulin resistance?
Did acidosis occur?
Did disneea occur?
Did dispneea decrease mucoseal respiratory temperature?
Did SARS COV2 better replicate at low tissue temperature?
