I am68 years old , I had Bariatric surgery April 1st , I have lost 155 pounds. I eat low carb and I run 18 miles a week on a under water treadmill , I use the patch aid vitamins for RNY bypass . I have to watch my portions and carbs. I found some noddles made with yellow peas . High protein and low carb . But we only have them every once great and a while. I am in the best condition of my life. I was pre diabetic. But not now. I was a size 24now I an a size 16 . I have only 60 more pounds to go for my personal goal. I will eat this way the rest of my life and will never go back to the way I was. This is my life changer.
Great advice Doctor. I am 62years and have been suffering from type 2 diabetes for about 12 years. Recently by suger level ha spiked during the Pandamic as I am going through a lot of stress and anxiety since I have been without work for the last 2 years. Your advice is itself so encouraging and I feel much better hearing your advice. Thank you once again Doctor. May you always be blessed. Best wishes from the Land of Mt Khangchendzonga, Sikkim.
Yay! I just weighed myself and have lost 7 pounds in a month, about ten since my diagnosis a couple of months ago. Lettuce and beetroot!!!!! I also am now taking apple cider vinegar, elderberry juice and taking turmeric with black pepper and ginger, chia pudding, farro grains, quinoa and red cabbage.
Dr Ergin, I have been insulin dependant diabetic since 2001. I have learned so much this week from just a few of your videos, and look forward to learning more! Thank you
I had tried No carb diet and i used to get perfect readings in my blucon CGM, but i could not sustain to it for longer..then i started intake of carbs 60g per day and i am sticking to low carb diet now..and through food insights option i am able to choose wisely foods which dont affect my sugars
Hi Doctor Sugar, I just diagnosed with pre-diabetes, and I am very confuse about what to eat. Your videos have been so helpful and I learned a lot from them. Thank you very much.
My grandfather is almost 90 years he went to the doctor ,they gave him medicament for diabetes, he was having all the symptoms,he likes,donuts ,fried food,soda etc. He began a diet and months later he went to another doctor he told him he was not a diabetic and took the pills away ,really interesting
Well in the Uk a fasting blood is expected to be around the 5.0 which is a 31, once you’ve eaten a meal it says on google, 2 hours after your meal it ok to have risen to between 7 to 9, 7 =43 and 9 = 56, I notice we measure blood sugar a bit differently over here in the UK. Your only pre diabetic at 6.8 or 42 here. I have a blood glucose monitor and up to 6.7= 41 is classed as ok. The nurse said on Friday that your truly diabetic at 7.8 = 48 hope that helps.

Hi Dr Ergin, my doctor said to check my blood sugar in the morning but I think I’ll start checking after meals. How long after I eat do I check my blood sugar? Thank you!
What should your # s be after eating a meal if you are not diabetic ?and what should your # be after eating a meal if you are diabetic? Pls reply..thank you.🙏
Thank you very much for all your information .We are blessed to hear all your info.they are very essential and effective in improving our health problems.
Hey love the videos....... As a prediabetic not taking medication, I'm 6'3 about 280 pounds , 43 years old Just got diagnosed as a prediabetic trying to eat right...... Most charts I've seen say that being between 150 and 180 blood sugar level is good....... and around 125 and under is great, would you say that accurate for me? And random blood sugar levels of 150 and under are considered good and that I'm doing well in my diet and stuff
My go to dressing: equal parts evoo and balsamic vinegar, pizza seasoning (or italian herbs and spices), xylitol, water. Shake it up real good and let it marinate over night or chill in fridge. SOOOOOOO GOOOOD! I will mix a bit of store bought blue cheese or ranch but the good fat and vinegar really makes me feel full and satisfied.
Good morning, Dr. Ergin. 😊 Your video is excellent! Some things I already knew, but it’s always good to go over them. Because one thing is to know what to do, and another one is Not doing what I should! As it happens to me. So, I appreciate very much the information coming from a doctor like you, professional and sincere. The emphasis you gave us about how sleeping impacts on our high sugar level got my attention. I take meds to sleep, but I still need to stick with the schedule I take them because I still don’t have a good sleeping pattern. 🥴 I also took the quiz you suggested on your link.🤓 Thanks again, Dr. Ergin.
Thank you. I reiterate some of the information to remind everyone and for those who are unaware. But thank you for watching and taking the quiz. Very much appreciated.
Thanks so much. You have been a life saver for me! I love your videos and I would love to see you do one specifically for women. I say that because I'm newly diagnosed. Your information has helped me manage 100% but I noticed it has been a little higher since my cycle came on. I would love more information about the effects of hormones on your blood sugar. Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot for your excellent advices Doctor, I make my own dressing olive oil vinegar pepper but instead of salt I put mustard , good or bad idea, thanks again
Hi dokie, I'm glad I found this channel and subscribed just yesterday👍 I'm diabetic and using insulin like almost 5years now. This channel gives me more info of what to do. Honestly, I love eating hehehe but it doesn't show my body because I'm small eversince. And now I was diagnosed have breast cancer but I'm not restrict myself of what to eat. Hoping I can control my blood sugar.
What about high fat combined with low carb as MCTs, ketones and EFA such as omega 3 can help? I also think I.F. plus higher fibre leafy vegetables or chia, ground flax and psyllium husk can really help
I was diagnosed with type 2 towards the end of July. I wasn’t a person who looked at labels. I never measured portions out. I also never got enough sleep. Like I would sleep anywhere between 3-5 a night. Once I got that news I made drastic changes to my lifestyle, changes that are talked about in this video. Since monitoring my blood sugar levels I haven’t had a single high reading, and in 2 months and 1 meek I have lost 27 lbs. Your videos randomly showed up in my recommended list this morning. You have gained a subscriber. Thank you for making these videos and educating those of us dealing with this disease how to best manage it, without the $30 copay to sit in a diabetic nutrition class. I just wish I had seen your channel sooner. 😜
@@jah_jah_mikes4858 absolutely! I have cut out all added sugar from my diet, for most days. I do allow myself a very occasional treat. I keep my carbs to 30 or less for meals. I don’t snack. I only have a small high fiber snack, usually a nut like almonds or pistachios, or unsalted sunflower seeds, before bed, if my blood sugar is in the 80s, to prevent it from going too low over night. I drink water for the most part. My only non water beverages are coffee in the morning with just a little milk, no sugar. I can’t do full on black coffee. Most nights before bed I have a hot lemon ginger tea no sugar, no milk. At first I was just concentrating on my calories ( I keep my calories between 900 and 1,200) and carbs. I noticed that my everyday breakfast, a Jimmy Dean Delights, while low in calories and carbs, had quite a bit of sodium so I stopped eating that and I have one egg, sometimes 2, and two pieces of high fiber wheat toast. That way I can control the amount of sodium. My lunch is usually fresh fruit(usually mellon like cantaloupe and berries)and greens(usually baby spinach), some type of protein usually an Icelandic Provisions yogurt, or cottage cheese, sometimes it’s some leftover chicken or some tuna and some unsalted nuts or sunflower seeds. My dinner is the most diverse in my diet. I have a balance of protein, vegetables and some carbs. I measured everything at first. Now that I’ve been at it for half a year I can pretty much eyeball the portion size. I have brought my A1C down from 7.9 in late July to 6.2 when I had it checked in late October. I’m am now down 43 lbs from my starting weight. My biggest weak area is getting that exercise in. I could give myself the excuse of I’m a super busy mom of 4, but the plain truth is I hate exercising. That’s something I’m going to be working on this year. My ultimate goal is to lose 200lbs. I broke that down into smaller goals of 50lbs. I’m just 7 lbs away from that first 50lb goal. I’m not doing Keto, or the OMAD fad. I’m not doing anything like weight watchers, or any other overly restrictive diet. I’m just making those sustainable changes to my typical daily diet. I’m not knocking those diets, I just feel that those type of diets are not sustainable and they don’t actually teach you healthy eating, they are just severely restrictive and the moment you go off those kind of diets you start regaining weight. They’re great tools for fast weight loss but typically that lost weight comes back, with friends. I did a lot of research into what fruits and vegetables where best for diabetics and what carbs to avoid that is what I stick to, for the most part. If I really, really want pasta I’ll have it, I’ll just be very strict with myself and measure out a half portion and have a bigger portion of protein and low carb veggies to balance it. It’s all about making sustainable healthy changes that are permanent lifestyle changes not temporary restrictions. The biggest revelation for me was that when I added more nutrient rich foods to my diet I didn’t really have cravings for the unhealthy things. It truly hasn’t been difficult for me to stick to my changes because I’m not overly restrictive. The only thing I’m super restrictive about is sugar of course. With that said, at Christmas dinner I allowed myself to have a very small piece of my cousin’s homemade cheesecake. I wish you a lot of luck on your journey! 🙂
@@michelleoywech100 Wow, that’s a lot of info. I will read it again in small pieces and reply with any questions I find. For now…how long after diagnosis did it take to get your blood sugar back down to normal levels/under control, and were you prescribed any meds? Did they tell you what your initial reading was and were you having symptoms? Thank you so much…this whole process is a lot to digest!
@@jah_jah_mikes4858 no problem at all! Lol, sorry I get very wordy. 😂 It took just 3 months to go from an A1C of 7.9 down to 6.2. Yes to the prescription, I’m taking Metformin, the lowest dose, twice a day. I’m going to be calling my Dr tomorrow actually to see if I should reduce it. I definitely was lucky enough to catch it early, before my A1C reached dangerous levels. As far as I know the 7.9 is the highest my A1C ever was. No I didn’t have symptoms. Getting this diagnosis definitely knocked me back. It’s a lot to take in for sure. I did attend a virtual educational class for diabetic nutrition. That was very helpful. I’m a little OCD so I did become obsessed the first few months, after my diagnosis, with researching diabetic nutrition. What helps lower your A1C, what helps keep your blood sugar levels in the normal range, etc. There’s definitely a lot of trial and error in what foods cause spikes and what foods don’t for you. For example, my dad can eat protein granola bars for a snack if he needs or wants and it doesn’t cause a spike for him, but for me they do. A pancake with berries is terrible for me, yet a Belgian waffle with berries is fine. Please feel free to ask me anything, if I can help I definitely will.
@@michelleoywech100 Mine was diagnosed at the ER so I don’t have the A1C yet (still need to meet with my doctor), so for a apples to apples, what was your initial mg/dl number? I appreciate you!
This is great information Dr. Ergin! I live in Miami and I called your office to try to get a virtual appointment, that was last Monday (08/09/21) still no one has called me back after leaving 2 voicemails and texting back and fourth with a Cris letting me know I need to wait 24-48 hours for a return call, it’s been more than a week. Thankfully my diabetes was due to Covid and I’m slowly getting off the insulin and I’m managing to keep my sugar on check. If you’re trying to get an appointment with Dr. Ergin GOOD LUCK!
I was an over-the-road driver from 1991 to 2018 when I was medically retired. Most so-called diet plans are mainly impossible for over-the-road drivers. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 in 2005 after failing my Department of Transportation physical with a blood glucose of 223mg/dL. A blood glucose of 146mg/dL is the maximum allowed. The doctor who diagnosed me with the gave me four prescriptions, a one page pamphlet for information and a told me to buy a glucose meter. That's it. I ended up having to learn everything else on my own. I had to figure out how to eat healthier and geet exercise while on the road. Since I mostly drove at night the exercise part was rather easy. When I parked for my break I went walking. Earbuds in, music on and off I went. There were even times I awoke with the urge to go walking. The first time that happened I didn't know it was 14°F outside until I got back to the truck. Walking along with a change of diet I was able to take my weight from 250 pounds to 210. And then down to 180. I went down to 180 pounds in 2013 while recovering from a heart attack and bypass surgery. One thing I learned how was in the transportation industry there are a lot of drivers who get afflicted with Type 2 Diabetes. I was fortunate to when I was diagnosed to be driving for a that had a good understanding of of it and what drivers go through. The last company I drove for was not the same way. Finding healthy foods to eat probably was my biggest challenge while on the road as very few truckstop restaurants menus were geared to healthy foods. Most places have microwave ovens and when I went back to work after being diagnosed I was given a truck that had a refrigerator in it. This meant that I could keep healthy foods in the truck without them spoiling. I always try to pass on what I've learned to fellow drivers because I know getting much needed information can be a chore. The doctor who diagnosed me also said that unloading a 53 feet long trailer is not good exercise but he couldn't explain why I was always hot, tired, thirsty and dirty afterwards. He even declined my challenge to come me unload the next time I delivered to the Kroger warehouse just under 30 minutes from his office. Before I had my heart attack I was off my Diabetes pills. After surgery I was put on insulin and then back on pills.
You and your trickier mates should try a carnivore diet to slim down and work on maintenance once the weight and diabetes have gone. Check out some carnivore and intetmittent fasting videos.
God bless you Doc. I'm struggling to reduce my blood sugar. I don't sleep and if I do, I probably will sleep 2 to 3 hours for the night. All my endocrinologist are focused my diet and I'm keep telling I need help with sleep. I do follow pcp too. Im a nurse that worked vascular/ diabetic floor at the hospital. It is really struggle!😭😭😭
I know it can be very challenging sometimes to deal problems associated with diabetes. I wish you the best and I hope our videos are helping. I am open to suggestions.
I only do about 15-17 minutes of exercise currently. I also suffer from anxiety and depression which I'm on medication for and see a therapist and psychiatrist for. Eventually I will add another 10 minutes on my treadmill when my body and mind are ready.
This is a wondeful video with excellent advice. I think a similar summary was the first video of yours that popped up in my YT feed. It jas helped me tremendously; I was very lax about bg testing - as you state in this video I was testing in the morning, not after meals, 2 hr after meals, and checking before and after dinner, alternating my testing time in addition to AM fasting bg. You woke me up and I have binge watched your videos ever since. My bg is much more even now on a mediterranean diet and following your diet recommendations. Thank you for impacting my life and for providing this dependable information for free, available to anyone. God Bless you.

Doc. Is it possible to break down all your videos such as one video on carb or one video on spice or food you should not eat. I will not mind to buy the collection.
What’s happening with my 72 year old body? I am eating a low to almost no carbs diet I am steadily losing weight and it’s becoming frightening. I am currently on Metformin 750mg ER daily and Januvia 100mg, exercise of walking was my favorite exercise but now I am having trouble with my right leg that causes pain after a 15 minute walk. What do you think is occurring? My blood sugar dropped on the low carb diet from 7.4 to 6.3, but is currently 7.8 and this really has me upset. Please respond at your convenience.

I drop my A1C from 12 to 7 in 3 months. Also lost 10 kg.
Simple rule: Replace the Grain and fruits with Veggies 🙂
fruits are also high in fructose sugar which will spike your glucose. Certain veggies also do the same thing.

@@jah_jah_mikes4858 absolutely!
I have cut out all added sugar from my diet, for most days. I do allow myself a very occasional treat. I keep my carbs to 30 or less for meals. I don’t snack. I only have a small high fiber snack, usually a nut like almonds or pistachios, or unsalted sunflower seeds, before bed, if my blood sugar is in the 80s, to prevent it from going too low over night. I drink water for the most part. My only non water beverages are coffee in the morning with just a little milk, no sugar. I can’t do full on black coffee. Most nights before bed I have a hot lemon ginger tea no sugar, no milk.
At first I was just concentrating on my calories ( I keep my calories between 900 and 1,200) and carbs. I noticed that my everyday breakfast, a Jimmy Dean Delights, while low in calories and carbs, had quite a bit of sodium so I stopped eating that and I have one egg, sometimes 2, and two pieces of high fiber wheat toast. That way I can control the amount of sodium.
My lunch is usually fresh fruit(usually mellon like cantaloupe and berries)and greens(usually baby spinach), some type of protein usually an Icelandic Provisions yogurt, or cottage cheese, sometimes it’s some leftover chicken or some tuna and some unsalted nuts or sunflower seeds.
My dinner is the most diverse in my diet. I have a balance of protein, vegetables and some carbs. I measured everything at first. Now that I’ve been at it for half a year I can pretty much eyeball the portion size.
I have brought my A1C down from 7.9 in late July to 6.2 when I had it checked in late October. I’m am now down 43 lbs from my starting weight. My biggest weak area is getting that exercise in. I could give myself the excuse of I’m a super busy mom of 4, but the plain truth is I hate exercising. That’s something I’m going to be working on this year. My ultimate goal is to lose 200lbs. I broke that down into smaller goals of 50lbs. I’m just 7 lbs away from that first 50lb goal.
I’m not doing Keto, or the OMAD fad. I’m not doing anything like weight watchers, or any other overly restrictive diet. I’m just making those sustainable changes to my typical daily diet. I’m not knocking those diets, I just feel that those type of diets are not sustainable and they don’t actually teach you healthy eating, they are just severely restrictive and the moment you go off those kind of diets you start regaining weight. They’re great tools for fast weight loss but typically that lost weight comes back, with friends.
I did a lot of research into what fruits and vegetables where best for diabetics and what carbs to avoid that is what I stick to, for the most part. If I really, really want pasta I’ll have it, I’ll just be very strict with myself and measure out a half portion and have a bigger portion of protein and low carb veggies to balance it. It’s all about making sustainable healthy changes that are permanent lifestyle changes not temporary restrictions.
The biggest revelation for me was that when I added more nutrient rich foods to my diet I didn’t really have cravings for the unhealthy things. It truly hasn’t been difficult for me to stick to my changes because I’m not overly restrictive. The only thing I’m super restrictive about is sugar of course. With that said, at Christmas dinner I allowed myself to have a very small piece of my cousin’s homemade cheesecake.
I wish you a lot of luck on your journey! 🙂
@@michelleoywech100 Wow, that’s a lot of info. I will read it again in small pieces and reply with any questions I find. For now…how long after diagnosis did it take to get your blood sugar back down to normal levels/under control, and were you prescribed any meds? Did they tell you what your initial reading was and were you having symptoms? Thank you so much…this whole process is a lot to digest!
@@jah_jah_mikes4858 no problem at all! Lol, sorry I get very wordy. 😂 It took just 3 months to go from an A1C of 7.9 down to 6.2. Yes to the prescription, I’m taking Metformin, the lowest dose, twice a day. I’m going to be calling my Dr tomorrow actually to see if I should reduce it. I definitely was lucky enough to catch it early, before my A1C reached dangerous levels. As far as I know the 7.9 is the highest my A1C ever was. No I didn’t have symptoms.
Getting this diagnosis definitely knocked me back. It’s a lot to take in for sure. I did attend a virtual educational class for diabetic nutrition. That was very helpful. I’m a little OCD so I did become obsessed the first few months, after my diagnosis, with researching diabetic nutrition. What helps lower your A1C, what helps keep your blood sugar levels in the normal range, etc. There’s definitely a lot of trial and error in what foods cause spikes and what foods don’t for you. For example, my dad can eat protein granola bars for a snack if he needs or wants and it doesn’t cause a spike for him, but for me they do. A pancake with berries is terrible for me, yet a Belgian waffle with berries is fine. Please feel free to ask me anything, if I can help I definitely will.
@@michelleoywech100 Mine was diagnosed at the ER so I don’t have the A1C yet (still need to meet with my doctor), so for a apples to apples, what was your initial mg/dl number? I appreciate you!
Thanks doc , simple explanation nothing technical yet very informative
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching. Please share this video and spread awareness.
This is great information Dr. Ergin! I live in Miami and I called your office to try to get a virtual appointment, that was last Monday (08/09/21) still no one has called me back after leaving 2 voicemails and texting back and fourth with a Cris letting me know I need to wait 24-48 hours for a return call, it’s been more than a week. Thankfully my diabetes was due to Covid and I’m slowly getting off the insulin and I’m managing to keep my sugar on check. If you’re trying to get an appointment with Dr. Ergin GOOD LUCK!

I was an over-the-road driver from 1991 to 2018 when I was medically retired. Most so-called diet plans are mainly impossible for over-the-road drivers. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 in 2005 after failing my Department of Transportation physical with a blood glucose of 223mg/dL. A blood glucose of 146mg/dL is the maximum allowed. The doctor who diagnosed me with the gave me four prescriptions, a one page pamphlet for information and a told me to buy a glucose meter. That's it. I ended up having to learn everything else on my own. I had to figure out how to eat healthier and geet exercise while on the road. Since I mostly drove at night the exercise part was rather easy. When I parked for my break I went walking. Earbuds in, music on and off I went. There were even times I awoke with the urge to go walking. The first time that happened I didn't know it was 14°F outside until I got back to the truck. Walking along with a change of diet I was able to take my weight from 250 pounds to 210. And then down to 180. I went down to 180 pounds in 2013 while recovering from a heart attack and bypass surgery. One thing I learned how was in the transportation industry there are a lot of drivers who get afflicted with Type 2 Diabetes. I was fortunate to when I was diagnosed to be driving for a that had a good understanding of of it and what drivers go through. The last company I drove for was not the same way. Finding healthy foods to eat probably was my biggest challenge while on the road as very few truckstop restaurants menus were geared to healthy foods. Most places have microwave ovens and when I went back to work after being diagnosed I was given a truck that had a refrigerator in it. This meant that I could keep healthy foods in the truck without them spoiling. I always try to pass on what I've learned to fellow drivers because I know getting much needed information can be a chore.
The doctor who diagnosed me also said that unloading a 53 feet long trailer is not good exercise but he couldn't explain why I was always hot, tired, thirsty and dirty afterwards. He even declined my challenge to come me unload the next time I delivered to the Kroger warehouse just under 30 minutes from his office. Before I had my heart attack I was off my Diabetes pills. After surgery I was put on insulin and then back on pills.
Thank you
You and your trickier mates should try a carnivore diet to slim down and work on maintenance once the weight and diabetes have gone.
Check out some carnivore and intetmittent fasting videos.
What do you mean by fasting for 2 weeks? Do I suspend my insulin(slow and fast insulin) when fasting for the 2 weeks? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing to us your tips it's very helpful for me
God bless you Doc. I'm struggling to reduce my blood sugar. I don't sleep and if I do, I probably will sleep 2 to 3 hours for the night. All my endocrinologist are focused my diet and I'm keep telling I need help with sleep. I do follow pcp too. Im a nurse that worked vascular/ diabetic floor at the hospital. It is really struggle!😭😭😭
I know it can be very challenging sometimes to deal problems associated with diabetes. I wish you the best and I hope our videos are helping. I am open to suggestions.
Love this it was helpful
You are the best Doctor 💕
I only do about 15-17 minutes of exercise currently. I also suffer from anxiety and depression which I'm on medication for and see a therapist and psychiatrist for. Eventually I will add another 10 minutes on my treadmill when my body and mind are ready.
You can do it!
So many to learn about your video thanks for sharing the very informative topic about blood sugar..God bless
You're welcome. Please share this video and spread awareness.
This is a wondeful video with excellent advice. I think a similar summary was the first video of yours that popped up in my YT feed. It jas helped me tremendously; I was very lax about bg testing - as you state in this video I was testing in the morning, not after meals, 2 hr after meals, and checking before and after dinner, alternating my testing time in addition to AM fasting bg. You woke me up and I have binge watched your videos ever since. My bg is much more even now on a mediterranean diet and following your diet recommendations. Thank you for impacting my life and for providing this dependable information for free, available to anyone. God Bless you.
Of course. We love helping everyone who is in need of diabetes education. I am so glad that we are helping you. God Bless!

Doc. Is it possible to break down all your videos such as one video on carb or one video on spice or food you should not eat. I will not mind to buy the collection.
What’s happening with my 72 year old body? I am eating a low to almost no carbs diet I am steadily losing weight and it’s becoming frightening. I am currently on Metformin 750mg ER daily and Januvia 100mg, exercise of walking was my favorite exercise but now I am having trouble with my right leg that causes pain after a 15 minute walk. What do you think is occurring? My blood sugar dropped on the low carb diet from 7.4 to 6.3, but is currently 7.8 and this really has me upset. Please respond at your convenience.
thank you for sharing Doc..keep safe
