Much relief after going through this stuff ruclips.net/user/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually help bring them down.

It is not accurate to categorize Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes as inherently worse than the other. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are chronic conditions that require lifelong management. The impact of diabetes on an individual's life can vary depending on various factors, including how well the condition is managed, overall health, access to healthcare, and individual circumstances. Complications from uncontrolled diabetes can affect both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes if blood sugar levels are consistently high over time. It is essential to approach diabetes management with proper medical guidance, adherence to treatment plans, and proactive lifestyle choices. Regular check-ups, monitoring blood sugar levels, and following recommended therapies can help individuals with either type of diabetes lead healthy lives and reduce the risk of complications. Remember, diabetes affects each person differently, and it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and guidance based on your specific situation.
As ALL foods mentioned in this article have nutritional benefits, they also contain carbohydrates which stimulate insulin production in our body. So these are not “free” foods if you define free as eat as much as you want. Apples are high in fructose or fruit sugar so it is definitely NOT a free food. Note: in her presentation, studies were done with specific amounts of these foods not “free” amounts. Ultimately, the question is, how does the individual blood sugar/insulin levels respond to these foods. There are no “free” foods.
@@janekay4147 Absolutely. The advice in this video is misleading. I do agree that some of the foods are good for a diabetic to eat, like berries etc, but as diabetes is a disease of chronic sugar consumption, the logical way to prevent, or cure it is to eat less sugar (not just table sugar, but also starches in bread, cereals, pasta, rice etc). It's that simple. When I was a medical student 50 years ago, I was taught that diabetes was a chronic, progressive, incurable disease. I now know that it is not. Luckily I discovered Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist who was able to cure his diabetic patients when he started them on a low carb diet, and also intermittent fasting. I agree with you that it's "no wonder people have no idea how to control let alone reverse their diabetes". Both can be done, but not by watching videos like this.
Thank you for helping me decide what to eat and drink, as I also looked at that video as well. It has been a real struggle for me especially here in the Caribbean but at least now I have some wider choices. Again thank you and God bless

In UK Chia seeds have warnings on packet not consume more than 15grams I believe it said daily. I can't remember why that is. But I would research it before taking a lot of them.
Wow! I'm so blessed with your very comprehensive research -based information about the 8 foods that diabetic could freely eat! Thank you very much and more power!
I started adding a small handful of frozen blueberries and a half teaspoon of ground ginger to my iced tea. The blueberries replace the ice in the glass. When I'm done drinking the iced tea the blueberries have mostly thawed and absorbed some of the ginger flavor making a nice after tea snack. I've never tried Okra. What does that taste like?
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Ceylon cinnamon is my new fav; sprinkle it in coffee, on toast, or cereal, fruit. It has been shown to lower post prandial blood glucose levels. Also tastes delicious!
This advice is kind of silly. None of these foods reduce blood glucose. None are particularly nourishing. They seem to have a fiber fettish. Really, glucose rich foods, you know, "carbs" must be avoided as much as your addiction to them can be curbed. Your liver makes all the glucose you need. You literally do not need to eat or drink any. In fact since 2018 the ADA guidlines state that a low carb diet is a treatment option for T2D as part of a patient centered approach.
Blueberries are okay. I eat half a cup of them almost every day. I also have a semi-green small banana daily (because I don't eat rice or potatoes) which has a lot of good nutrients such as magnesium and potassium and my blood sugar is fine.
Interesting. I personally wouldn't eat all of those food freely but I'm t1. I still find some of the info helpful. Thanks. Ps. For ppl in Ireland (and I think U.K. too), Okra is called Lady Fingers, if you're looking for it.
We diabetics cannot eat anything liberally but all above in Moderation would help especially when we want to have some liberties of Keto or Low Carb diet ... So thnks for it from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for your comment. You're right that people with diabetes need to monitor their intake of certain foods and eat them in moderation. It's important to work with a healthcare provider and a registered dietitian to create an individualized meal plan that fits your specific needs and health goals.
Bitter melon is a fruit that has been used traditionally in various cultures for its potential health benefits, including its ability to lower blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that bitter melon contains compounds that can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels. However, it is important to note that the evidence is limited, and more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of bitter melon as a treatment for diabetes. Additionally, bitter melon may interact with certain medications, so it is important to speak with a healthcare professional before using it as a treatment for diabetes.
Carbohydrates are not required by the human body. Your body will make what it needs from foods that have no carbs the uptick in carb consumption started back in the 1970’s with the so called war on hunger which has been proven to be the cause of obesity and diabetes alike. The aha and other organizations have acknowledged this but the government has not changed the recommendations for what people should eat because the food industries pay them not to tell the people that processed food is making them and the pharmaceutical companies rich
LDL is very a important to helth Omega Fatty acid dekivery. LDL particle size is determined by the ratio of Triglycerides to HDL of no more than 3 to 1 which will matain LDL fluffy natural state. . High carb high glycimic index food lead to high levels of Triglycerides
Avocados are great for some things but not so great for others. They are very high in potassium and too much avocado (like banana) are not good for people with kidney problems.
Whole wheat chapati (roti) can be a better choice for individuals with diabetes compared to refined wheat flour. Whole wheat contains more fiber, which can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in a slower and more controlled release of glucose into the bloodstream. This can help prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. Including whole wheat chapati as part of a balanced meal that includes vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats can contribute to a more stable blood sugar response. However, portion control is still important. It's advisable to monitor your blood sugar levels after consuming whole wheat chapati to see how your body responds. Additionally, everyone's response to foods can vary, so it's important to consider your own individual tolerance and consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs and health goals.
I’ve eaten like this for 25 years and sick as - Terrible IBS high cholesterol diabetes - I scoffed at my mother in law who lived on meat chicken eggs spinach tea - she’s just celebrated perfect blood tests and a 94th birthday.
Thank you!!! I need to get back on the wagon. The one thing I dearly love is okra but I'm on Metformin, boo hiss. Maybe I can celebrate once in a while.
Hi there! It's great that you're thinking about getting back on track and focusing on your health. Although it can be difficult to make changes to your diet, especially if you have specific restrictions, it's important to listen to your body and make choices that work best for you. Maybe you could try finding new, healthier ways to incorporate okra into your diet or try new recipes that you'll enjoy. Remember, moderation is key and it's okay to treat yourself every once in a while. Best of luck on your journey! Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
One might think there would be a great deal of overlap with low carb foods, keto foods, and "best" diabetic foods. Nuts are not unlimited in low carb and keto diets and can be quite high in calories making them something any dieter definitely wants to limit. So, not nuts, but some kinds of nuts, and in carb-counted amounts that are within your limit. And then the apples, which can be so sweet. That should set off the internal alarms inside every diabetic brain. So apples are not only NOT unlimited, they're most often a no. Berries, some kinds, are low carb and keto friendly, but never in unlimited amounts. Sugar never reduces blood sugar spikes.
I am a Type 2 Diabetic, Thanks So much for the informative information. The video was very informative. I be make the berries smoothie. I never known that apples can be eaten as much . I truly appreciate your video.
Carbs are NOT a diabetics friend. Not wonder people can’t get it under control with videos like this. Processed carbs need to be removed from your life forever. And choose wisely your natural carbs ie. fruit
The great benefit of Avocado is IT SATIATES YOU, makes you feel full and it's got lots of Omege 3's. I use it in a shake as a substitute meal or breakfast. First thing I'll make a shake, KALE (I prefer Lacinato) , Bluberries, Kefir (not flavoured), an Avacado I also add Pellegrino water (high in Sulphur) to get the right consistency and sometimes flavoured protein powder if I need a taste change. You can also add a Boiled Egg or try the Keto Boiled Egg pudding, satisfying and really tasty. FATS make you feel FULL for LONGER than Carbs and of course Carbs = Sugar !
Avocado is raved about and pushed constantly. I guess it's healthy fat but the thought of slathering it on toast in the morning.....ummm...no......it's not too bad spread on the bottom of a wrap because you can't taste it.
Nope every body is different! The problem with You Tube channels is they #1 generalize, #2 are posting with an agenda to sell products #3 don’t have a medical background and #4 even Drs are misguiding People because they have their own bent idea of what is ideal. I can’t eat a lot of foods most diabetics can because it raises my glucose! 4) Many people aren’t willing to do what it takes to keep glucose levels at normal like a exercise enough and this varies from person to person.
You make some valid points about the limitations and potential biases of online resources like RUclips channels. It's important to approach any health-related information with a critical eye and to always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan or lifestyle. Diabetes management can be a complex and individualized process, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find what works best for you and to make the necessary lifestyle changes to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
I have diabetic issues since I was 50, and I’m 62. What she is saying is not right. Every case is different, it is a very complicated disease to understand.
You are correct that diabetes is a complex and varied disease, and individual cases can differ greatly in terms of symptoms, management, and treatment. While the information in the video may be helpful for some individuals with diabetes, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to develop a personalized diabetes management plan that takes into account your unique needs, medical history, and lifestyle factors. A healthcare provider can help you navigate the complexities of diabetes and develop a comprehensive treatment plan that works for you.
Most poor folks suffer with diabetes because of poor diet and non nutrious food . Why not make a video on food for poor diabetic people which they can afford .That will be great
All foods are energy foods. It is not helpful to present carbs as unique for energy. Most people in the west and most diabetics get plenty of energy in their diet and don’t need to be confused about regularly getting a good portion of carbs. Less carbs the better for type 2 diabetics
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! While it's true that all foods provide energy, carbs are a key source that can impact blood sugar. The video focuses on portion control and balanced choices that work well for many diabetics, but everyone’s needs are different. It's always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice!
They are similar/related to poison ivy. I ate too many cashews and had full body hives and rash for two months. I’ve learned since then that even small amounts can cause inflammation in some people.
Some of this advice is decent, but seriously apples? They are NOT any good for diabetics, and not all nuts should be eaten freely. Cashews should not be eaten at all. Some of this advice is bad and potentially dangerous.
It's true that managing diabetes can be complex, and there are many different opinions on what foods are best to eat. While apples do contain natural sugars, they are also a good source of fiber and other nutrients that can be beneficial for people with diabetes when consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. Nuts are also generally considered to be a healthy snack option for people with diabetes as they are low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats. However, portion control is important as nuts are also high in calories. That being said, it's always important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine. Every individual's diabetes management plan should be tailored to their unique needs and health status. It's also important to remember that everyone's body responds differently to different foods, and what works for one person may not work for another. Ultimately, the key to managing diabetes is to find a balance that works for you and to make informed decisions based on reliable information and advice from healthcare professionals.
Hi @normasarsby1350! Thanks for pointing this out! Eating nuts in moderation is generally considered safe for most people, including those with kidney disease. However, it is important to be aware that some types of nuts are relatively high in phosphorus, which can be harmful to people with kidney disease. If one has kidney disease, it may be best to limit intake of these types of nuts or avoid them altogether. Additionally, it's always a good idea to talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian to determine the best diet for you.
While it is true that apples contain sugar, they also contain fiber and other nutrients that can have a positive impact on blood sugar levels when consumed in moderation. According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes can still enjoy fruit as part of a healthy diet, including apples, as long as they monitor their portion sizes and overall carbohydrate intake. It is important to work with a healthcare professional to determine an individualized meal plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
This video is full of factual errors that harm people with metabolic syndrome. The body can survive and thrive indefinitely without any carbohydrates. Carbs are not your friend, they are the root cause of insulin resistance.
We're sorry to hear that you disagree with the information presented in our video. It's important to note that carbohydrates are a necessary macronutrient for the body and provide energy for various bodily functions. However, it's also important to balance carbohydrate intake with other macronutrients and to choose nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. The development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome is multifactorial and can be influenced by a variety of factors beyond carbohydrate intake, including genetics, physical inactivity, and other dietary factors. It's best to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan for managing metabolic syndrome that takes into account your individual needs and goals.
Yeah when it comes to apples and diabetes no you should not be eating these apples that are like the Honeycrisp in the all the ones that have been genetically modified to be sweeter
It's true that some apple varieties are sweeter than others, and therefore contain more natural sugars. However, apples can still be a healthy choice for people with diabetes, as they are low in calories and high in fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. When it comes to choosing apples, it's important to consider portion size and pairing them with a source of protein or healthy fat to help slow down the absorption of sugars in the bloodstream. It's also a good idea to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider to determine the best dietary plan for managing diabetes.
Thanks!

I'd talk to my doctor before believing this if I were you.
I've been eating more portions of nuts lately, not loads but a small hand full about 3 times a week and I do feel better for it
I started adding a small handful of frozen blueberries and a half teaspoon of ground ginger to my iced tea. The blueberries replace the ice in the glass. When I'm done drinking the iced tea the blueberries have mostly thawed and absorbed some of the ginger flavor making a nice after tea snack.
I've never tried Okra. What does that taste like?
me? i wont ever eat okrA---THEY COOK IT TIL ITS SLIMY. I JUST CANT STOMACH IT. MAYBE U CAN!
Okra is yucky raw, but great if deep fried.
Fried Okra is really good, and stewed Okra in cabbage soup is also good 😊
It's just my opinion but okra is slimy and it just doesn't feel good in my mouth
If cooked long enough you can cook the slim away. Of course there goes the nutrients. fried okra is good, no slim but to much grease. Go figure.
Very good useful information.thanks.

When you say possibly reverse diabetes, you should remind people type one is not reversible.

Couldn't find the link in the thread. Would love the free books.
Hi, it's diabeticstalk.com/freebook/
Apples and Blueberries? I don't think so...
Apples are loaded with sugar -- Diabetics 2 people should be not be eating these. Blueberries are good with lots of sour cream, but not that often.
Blueberries are okay. I eat half a cup of them almost every day. I also have a semi-green small banana daily (because I don't eat rice or potatoes) which has a lot of good nutrients such as magnesium and potassium and my blood sugar is fine.
@@boink800 Not sure why she's touting apples.
@@Europa1749 Banana is too much sugar for most people.
All fruit gives u a natural sugar spike so defo NONE for diabetics
All in moderation. One apple a day will not cause a dramatic increase in Ac1 levels. Moderation and portion control are key!
Nope, accumulation is how T2's are where they are. The wrong foods accumulate sugar in the blood.
i love all of these and i didnt know how much these can be helpful.
Where's the link for the books?
Interesting. I personally wouldn't eat all of those food freely but I'm t1. I still find some of the info helpful. Thanks.

Chia seeds are very high in Lectins
Does it matter if the the nuts are raw or cooked?
Cooked (or roasted) nuts have slightly more fat and calories per gram, but the difference is minimal.

Carbs are NOT a diabetics friend. Not wonder people can’t get it under control with videos like this. Processed carbs need to be removed from your life forever. And choose wisely your natural carbs ie. fruit
We need complex carbohydrates like green vegetables. Not refined carbs. Protein fiber and healthy fats.
I can’t help but wonder how many people have insulin resistance and don’t know and more are already diabetic and don’t know. I bet plenty.
Bulgar wheat I eat it for breakfast and dinner
the download does not work
We do not need carbohydrates
Absolutely saying we NEED carbs is quite wrong and CARBS ARE OUR ENERGY SOURCE is just wrong, 'ONE OF' BUT carbs are sugar... DOH !!!
By spreading the 'we need carbohydrates' lie, they are killing people with Diabetes 2.
Unless you eat a carnivore diet, you will get carbs from green vegetables, salads etc. it’s a battle to stay low carb.

Why is it always avocado? I don't suppose window putty would raise my blood sugar much and it would taste just as good.
The great benefit of Avocado is IT SATIATES YOU, makes you feel full and it's got lots of Omege 3's. I use it in a shake as a substitute meal or breakfast.
First thing I'll make a shake, KALE (I prefer Lacinato) , Bluberries, Kefir (not flavoured), an Avacado I also add Pellegrino water (high in Sulphur) to get the right consistency and sometimes flavoured protein powder if I need a taste change. You can also add a Boiled Egg or try the Keto Boiled Egg pudding, satisfying and really tasty. FATS make you feel FULL for LONGER than Carbs and of course Carbs = Sugar !
Avocado is raved about and pushed constantly. I guess it's healthy fat but the thought of slathering it on toast in the morning.....ummm...no......it's not too bad spread on the bottom of a wrap because you can't taste it.
@@Europa1749 you wouldn’t put it on toast as bread is very unhealthy just eat the avocado on its own that’s what I do
Ha ha ! That’s hilarious! I feel the same way .I also hate garlic with a passion and people just rave about it yuch,yuch
@Rick Bouthillier awwwww I love garlic 🙃 lol
Nothing. Everything raises my blood sugar. Stuff with no carbs raises my blood sugar. And the food in this video definitely has carbs
I love avocado's, nuts, eggplant, okra, broccoli and apples.
Check out moringa powder!
This says the opposite of every other video I've watched.
Nope every body is different! The problem with You Tube channels is they #1 generalize, #2 are posting with an agenda to sell products #3 don’t have a medical background and #4 even Drs are misguiding People because they have their own bent idea of what is ideal. I can’t eat a lot of foods most diabetics can because it raises my glucose!
4) Many people aren’t willing to do what it takes to keep glucose levels at normal like a exercise enough and this varies from person to person.
You make some valid points about the limitations and potential biases of online resources like RUclips channels. It's important to approach any health-related information with a critical eye and to always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan or lifestyle.
Diabetes management can be a complex and individualized process, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to find what works best for you and to make the necessary lifestyle changes to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge ❤️ from Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕
Thank you 😊
Completely incorrect info
Good information
I have avocado with nutritional yeast i have to buy more...
Thanks
that is a lie we do not need carbs for anything!!!!!!!!!
And carbs make that Diabetes 2 even worse. People, you can reverse your Diabetes 2. Yes, it's possible.
I have diabetic issues since I was 50, and I’m 62. What she is saying is not right. Every case is different, it is a very complicated disease to understand.
You are correct that diabetes is a complex and varied disease, and individual cases can differ greatly in terms of symptoms, management, and treatment. While the information in the video may be helpful for some individuals with diabetes, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to develop a personalized diabetes management plan that takes into account your unique needs, medical history, and lifestyle factors. A healthcare provider can help you navigate the complexities of diabetes and develop a comprehensive treatment plan that works for you.
❤ I love food😣
Most poor folks suffer with diabetes because of poor diet and non nutrious food . Why not make a video on food for poor diabetic people which they can afford .That will be great
Thanks for the comment! We'll target that on our future videos!
We don't really need to eat carbs. While there are essential amino acids and essential fatty acids, there are no essential carbs. Look up keto.
I love Avocados!
All foods are energy foods. It is not helpful to present carbs as unique for energy. Most people in the west and most diabetics get plenty of energy in their diet and don’t need to be confused about regularly getting a good portion of carbs. Less carbs the better for type 2 diabetics
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! While it's true that all foods provide energy, carbs are a key source that can impact blood sugar. The video focuses on portion control and balanced choices that work well for many diabetics, but everyone’s needs are different. It's always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice!
I like rib eyes and bacon followed by black Forrest cake and ice cream.
There has to be a better way
Cashews are legumes, not true nuts. They are higher in carbs than true nuts.
They are similar/related to poison ivy. I ate too many cashews and had full body hives and rash for two months. I’ve learned since then that even small amounts can cause inflammation in some people.
Some of this advice is decent, but seriously apples? They are NOT any good for diabetics, and not all nuts should be eaten freely. Cashews should not be eaten at all. Some of this advice is bad and potentially dangerous.
It's true that managing diabetes can be complex, and there are many different opinions on what foods are best to eat. While apples do contain natural sugars, they are also a good source of fiber and other nutrients that can be beneficial for people with diabetes when consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. Nuts are also generally considered to be a healthy snack option for people with diabetes as they are low in carbohydrates and high in protein and healthy fats. However, portion control is important as nuts are also high in calories.
That being said, it's always important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or exercise routine. Every individual's diabetes management plan should be tailored to their unique needs and health status.
It's also important to remember that everyone's body responds differently to different foods, and what works for one person may not work for another. Ultimately, the key to managing diabetes is to find a balance that works for you and to make informed decisions based on reliable information and advice from healthcare professionals.
Sorry, but I think I will stick to low carb. Carbs look like the enemy to me.
Too muck nuts can be taxing on the kidney. Diabetics should avoid too much of this
Hi @normasarsby1350! Thanks for pointing this out! Eating nuts in moderation is generally considered safe for most people, including those with kidney disease. However, it is important to be aware that some types of nuts are relatively high in phosphorus, which can be harmful to people with kidney disease.
If one has kidney disease, it may be best to limit intake of these types of nuts or avoid them altogether. Additionally, it's always a good idea to talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian to determine the best diet for you.
I stopped watching when u mentioned apples ~ you should be ashamed of yourselves
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate!

Ha lol don’t go into a ketosis coma doing too much ‘talk’
Clearly hosted by someone who does not have diabetes. Apples have A LOT of sugar.
While it is true that apples contain sugar, they also contain fiber and other nutrients that can have a positive impact on blood sugar levels when consumed in moderation. According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes can still enjoy fruit as part of a healthy diet, including apples, as long as they monitor their portion sizes and overall carbohydrate intake. It is important to work with a healthcare professional to determine an individualized meal plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
avocado
Most of these comments WOW. Does anyone eat anything??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too many nuts in one day can give one a day of the “ Trots”.
Okra is only good fried. Boiled or in soups it's slimy and gross.
This video is full of factual errors that harm people with metabolic syndrome. The body can survive and thrive indefinitely without any carbohydrates. Carbs are not your friend, they are the root cause of insulin resistance.
We're sorry to hear that you disagree with the information presented in our video. It's important to note that carbohydrates are a necessary macronutrient for the body and provide energy for various bodily functions.
However, it's also important to balance carbohydrate intake with other macronutrients and to choose nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
The development of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome is multifactorial and can be influenced by a variety of factors beyond carbohydrate intake, including genetics, physical inactivity, and other dietary factors.
It's best to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan for managing metabolic syndrome that takes into account your individual needs and goals.
Chia ewwww
Chia seeds and berries
Yeah when it comes to apples and diabetes no you should not be eating these apples that are like the Honeycrisp in the all the ones that have been genetically modified to be sweeter
It's true that some apple varieties are sweeter than others, and therefore contain more natural sugars. However, apples can still be a healthy choice for people with diabetes, as they are low in calories and high in fiber, which can help regulate blood sugar levels. When it comes to choosing apples, it's important to consider portion size and pairing them with a source of protein or healthy fat to help slow down the absorption of sugars in the bloodstream. It's also a good idea to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider to determine the best dietary plan for managing diabetes.
