      That only lowers the concentration of sugar in our blood and does not affect the amount of sugar and insulin . Drinking anything won't ever lower blood sugar it will only slow down rate of insulin spike , ( reasons :- HIIT training and saunas increases blood sugar because of loss of water in blood ) so only method to lower blood sugar is to use the energy by anything physical

    I stopped eating pasta, rice, white potatoes, sugar, juice, no dairy except low fat cheese, no salt, fats except for avocado. type 2 diabetic with an A1C 6.3 and before that it was 5.7. Being unable to excercise I got my A1C down to 5.4 by watching my diet. My husband reitred and started cooking A1C 6.3. It will be checked again in January. I had not eaten corn or peas at that time. They were not part of my diet. I have never taken medication for diabetes and I always kept a record of everything I ate and how many carbs it was. Never ate over 45mg carbs any meal, no salt over 140 mg but did not eat salt. Sugar in food had to be 4 or 5 mg. The right food is very important. Thank you very much for a very educational and informative video. I appreciate it very much.

    • @leviotten

      Breakfast wise? Lots of water and fruit, or something like pea soup with bulgar or barley. Super easy and I usually make enough on a sunday to last me the week.
      I think a fiber and fruit bowl is great. Chia seeds have 44% daily fiber intake with only 3 tablespoons. I mix them with oats to get a nice heavy bowl of breakfast. I add raisins and banana usually.
      To sweeten I generally use date syrup Its low GI and works for me: about 12 dates and equal parts water blended, set in fridge overnight. The syrup lasts a few days and I usually put 3 or 4 tbsp on my oats and mix it. If you really want it as sweet as something like brown sugar, use stevia.

    Hi there, very interesting video, it gave some insides. 5 years ago I was pregnant and had gestational diabetes, and after giving birth still had high bs in the morning, I have tried many different ways and interestingly only low fat plant base help me lower my bs. I couldn't believe it cause doctors always told me get rid of carbs, and honestly I hate it, don't feel comfortable with high protein foods. Anyways I didn't stick it for to long cause of social pressure. Now I am fasting quiet often and will start with low fat plant base diet 😊

    Good video! Interesting as you are right that one shoe doesn't fit all!
    I am on MDI using Tresiba/Lyumjev and for me I try to eat dinner early around 5 PM and avoid high amount of protein and fats as it takes a long time to digest those and I end up with high blood glucose levels for hours and have to take multiple boluses of Lyumjev one at dinner then another 2 to 3 hours and sometimes again 4 to 8 hours if it was particularly high fat meal, which is unfortunate because I've already fallen asleep and have to wake up to bolus! When I eat higher amount of carbs for dinner I take a higher bolus of Lyumjev and it sometimes it's one and done! Also my Tresiba basal insulin never changes and if I get my blood glucose levels good before bedtime and don't eat a high fat dinner, 95% of the time I wake up with my blood glucose level between 70 and 100.
    In the morning I have the most problems with high carbs as my blood glucose goes up fast with things like cereals and if I want to have them I have to bolus 15 minutes early and at a higher level to compensate. However I usually go to the gym 3 days a week and like to get my blood glucose higher around 130 to 170 beforehand because it always drops with exercise and carbs are a great way to do that and they also give me the fuel I need to have a good work-out.
    Following that my a1c is always around 5.7 and TIM around 90% and I rarely see any insulin resistance issues and have had no diabetic complications having been a T1D for 45 years.

    As a shift worker of 37 years, age16-55, that include 1800-0600 night shifts, 0600-1800, 0700-1900, I discovered I was type 2 diabetic at 44 y/old.
    Since then I've constantly struggled to keep my blood sugars under control, even using metformin and cutting out raw sugar and white carbs, naughty snacks.
    I know 3 other guys at work who have done roughly the same, 30-40 years of shift work, All have become type 2 diabetic between 40-50 years old and are struggling to keep their blood sugars low, despite meds and changes in diet.
    My diabetic nurse told me, shift work massively promotes type 2 diabetes, especially night work and over many decades.
    After witnessing myself and my 3 workmates all being struck down with type 2 diabetes in their 40's and 50's and not being to overweight, I'm realizing that shift work is a major problem and does contribute hugely to getting type 2 diabetes.
    My diabetic nurse told me that shift work and especially night work kills your body clock, your body clock doesn't function in a natural way.
    The problems created by not having your body clock function correctly include, eating meals at different times depending on what shift your working.
    Blood sugar levels bouncing all over the place because your food is being broke down at different times of the day, shift dependant.
    Your activity levels vary, dependant on shift.
    Poor quality sleep because of irregular hours and patterns.
    Erratic Appetite & food cravings because your body clock is screwed up.
    Toilet visits, urination and passing stools become irregular, shift dependant.
    Depleted immune system due to poor quality, irregular sleep patterns.
    Irregular blood pressure, shift dependant.
    Fatigue, feeling tired all the time due to shift changes, messed up body clock, badly regulated blood sugar levels.
    Decreased Serotonin levels, especially during night shifts, this plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire.
    I'm sure there's plenty of other contributing factors that are a type 2 diabetic's nightmare and make regulating your blood sugars near impossible, My diabetic nurse srongly recommended changing my work, getting away from shift work but I'm 55 y/old soon and it doesn't make sense financially/career wise at this late stage.
    Basically I have to ride it out for a few more years and manage my blood sugars the best I can with meds, diet and excercise and try and sleep well.
    I've shared all my experiences with shift work and type 2 diabetes here because most people are not aware of the link, Even most Gp's and medically trained people fail to mention it, hopefully in the future, recognition will become more apparent.
    As a last pointer, I'll share two things I use to help regulate blood sugars, they are NOT a miracle cure but help me gain a little more control.
    Within the first hour of waking up, I have a bowl of unsweetened porridge, dotted with ground ceylon cinnamon from a pepper pot.
    I also drink lots of straight water with a sliced lemon and one teaspoon full of raw organic apple cyder vinegar in a glass, topped up with more water throughout the day
    Note: If you choose to experiment with sliced lemon and apple cyder vinegar, MAKE SURE you clean your teeth afterwards as it's very acidic in nature.
    Good luck to everyone, thank's for the video.

      @@joanramlogan9047 I'm sure Night shifts do help promote type 2 diabetes, especially if it's been over many years. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that being physically & mentally active throughout the night, when your body clock is wired up for sleep during darkness isn't going to be a problem long term.
      Circadian rhythms affect your sleep patterns as well as other ways your body works, like your hormones, body temperature, and eating habits. When they get out of sync, they might also cause problems with your health. They’ve been linked to different disorders including diabetes, obesity, and depression.
      The deeper you dig, the more you'll discover how type 2 diabetes and shift work, especially prolonged night shifts are beginning to be linked, I'm pretty sure given more time and more studies, the link will become more pronounced and understood in the future.

      Thank you very much for sharing. I don't work shift but I have a habit of sleeping irregularly (e.g. waking up at 3 am to read things or watch movies for 1 or 2 hours before going back to sleep again). I'm slim but got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes one time. Now I'm back to prediabetic but have to watch my diet and exercise. I have a question for you: do you and your night shift friends regularly exercise 4 hours per week? I suspect exercise has a lot to do with it. Working night shift means you're a lot less likely to be doing outdoor sports or other outdoor leisure activity.

I have stopped eating white rice, bread etc. I sometimes eat wholemeal bread. I am seriously aware of Gi, foods. Most of the time now i Google the food to know the Gi before eating it. 😁😜.

And even though my endrocologist gave me a range of up to 15 units based on the number, I am no longer insulin resistant and with low carbohydrate intake, I never need more than 4 units a day if ever. I occasionally cheat, but it's probably once or twice a month... I fast 18/6 as a lifestyle

    💕💕💕 that you are trying plant based! It is the ONLY way I have had ANY success in this journey. Low fat, plant based is not easy in many ways, but provides the best bs control for me and I have been following Dr. Joel Furhman and Dr. Neal Barnard for over 10 years. Wish I could do more exercise, but the poly neuropathies make that very, very difficult. Paleo and Keto seem to work for some, but I prefer as plant based as I can, mainly because of the increased energy levels. I don’t get that from the other diets, and intermittent fasting can also be a challenge. Great video! One of your best!

      ​@cbryce9243 I have been keto for 8 years along with intermittent fasting. No kidney issues ever! And I am 73. Your doctor is not knowledgeable about keto. Duke University with Dr. Westman's research clinic, Ohio University's VERTA clinic, and John Hopkin's Hospital (who have incorporated a keto diet for their patients for over 75 years) all have promoted a keto diet. The keto lifestyle is as polarizing in the medical community as U.S. politics. So frustrating! Can we not be supportive of each other and allow individual differences and choices without fear mongering? I know what my CGM tells me about my food choices, and keto works for me by keeping my blood sugar in a super healthy range. In fact, I plan to switch to carnivore soon and try it to observe its purported healthy results. Now that lifestyle will make your doctor's bp hit the sky, no doubt!

    I think it's great that after 35 years you have your AC at 6.0, but just as important what's your TIR? I've had good A1Cs for 4 decades with MDI, and been able to get occasional 6's but couldn't keep it there until I started with a CGM and could see the variability and the response. I saw that the amount of fiber in a meakl was as important as the amojnt of carbohyrates ir their glycemic index. eg Oatmeat mixed witn psyllium behaves like it has a much lower gylcemic index. A fiber drink and large mixed salad eaten with a rational portion of pizza blunts the peak from the crust as much as cheese and fat in the meal do.
    After one month my TIR was 87% and a month later, still using MDI, my A1C was 5.9 . Even though I knew how to correct quickly, I didn't do it when it would have been most effective , I only corrected before meals, not between meals. imo, knowing how to use the tech you have most effectively is more importtant than what tech you use. SInce I started using a pump, I find that while it's easier to do some things, it produces a slower response than an injection when I want to drop BG down to target quickly with a correction.
