This can be reduced to: white flour, white rice, processed sugar, & potatoes. Avoid processed meats like hot dogs, bacon, etc. Imagine deep fried potatoes slathered with sugar-laden ketchup (substitute air fried sweet potatoes & no-sugar ketchup, or just mustard).
Was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes back in August. My A1C was at 10.8, blood sugar at 298. Just recently tested and A1C is at 5.6. Blood sugar levels within last 90 days is at 110. This has not been easy. I'm 6'2" and now weigh 160. Was 196 when diagnosed. This channel has helped a lot about learning more about dealing with this condition. Thanks Dr.
Stay away from alcohol too. You need to keep a balanced diet. If I have a flavored coffee my blood sugar is high, then I do my insulin and not eat for awhile and I drop to low. You don't want the highs and lows of you blood sugar levels.
Four days a week I have steel cut oats (not the three minute ones) with healthy toppings, stevia and unsweetened almond milk. I then walk for an hour in the morning. Blood sugar went from 14 to 6.3 in five weeks. Walking really brings my blood sugar down.
Diabetes rates increased quite a bit when the A1C threshold was lowered. Many people that weren't diabetic became diabetic overnight when the A1C were changed. The same thing has happened to cholesterol and blood pressure. Diabetes rates also increased when the low fat diets were adopted to treat obesity. Turns out the low fat diets increased obesity due to high carbohydrates and much more added sugars in foods to replace dietary fat.
My blood sugar was 8.5, now my blood sugar is 7.1 on the A1C scale. I'm a happy camper! I eat low carb flat bread once or twice a week, boiled chicken, no pork, no processed lunchmeats, very little diet carbonated drinks, I do intermittent fasting too. I drink Voss water and try to stay active at 62, if I can do it, you can too😊
I'm in the UK so some of the figures we use are different to the US but I wanted to share that it can be done 😁 in under 4 months I've just received my results from an HBA1C on November 12th and they're non diabetic at 41 mmol/mol 5.9% back on July 20th they were 116 mmol/mol 12.9% when I was diagnosed. My cholesterol has come down to 5.2 from 6.7 and my blood pressure to 130/60 from 150/90 during the same time frame...not to mention the 50 pounds I'm lighter and 4 dress sizes smaller 😁 low GI carbs, no simple carbs, no added sugar, low saturates and no processed foods along with daily exercise has changed my life, great advice like this is so valuable!!! 💕
Great progress !! Happy to know about your journey to good health. Just a word on the reversal process: please do measure your fasting insulin levels too. While hba1c is the indicator of our glucose levels, insulin levels are the best indicators of insulin resistance. Ideally it needs to be less than 5 with an A1C less than 5 as well, when we can comfortably say we have reversed diabetes
@@jst1334 Thank you for your kind words 😊 The latest research shows that we can put diabetes into remission but it can't be reversed. It will always be in the background but it's possible to get to a place where it's having no impact on your health. As we measure blood sugar in the UK 41 is what someone who doesn't have diabetes would score on an HBA1C so it's classed as non diabetic, 43 - 48 is pre diabetic and 49 and above is diabetic. It's a little confusing that the uk and us don't use the same figures or method, universal would be an ideal
Welp.. such as life. If your diabetes is progressive tho... you won't be tasting/smelling much of anything when the nerves fail (like covid.. but permanent)
I’m happy you said boiled sweet potatoes are a better option. I absolutely love mashed sweet potatoes with a little salt and pepper, smart balance buttery spread and with dill. So good! I’ll eat a small portion with meat and a leafy green salad with a ton of veggies and with oil and vinegar dressing. I’ve been on a low carb diet for about 5.5 months and have lost over 40 lbs! Not only that but I’m exercising a lot more than I ever was and now I’m not obese, overweight- I’m actually thin! Discipline pays off. My blood sugar is in check. Things are falling into place. Thanks for all the info you provided. Much appreciated!
Not really true. Do you hav3 a garden? If you live in an apartment or somewhere that have no room for a garden I’m sure you have windows. After my divorce I moved to a apartment. We used the windows in my kitchen and one window in my living room to have an indoor garden using glass shelves. Before you say glass with kids, yes I had kids and it was never a problem. We grew tomatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, spinach, 3 varieties of lettuce, beets, and 8 different herbs. Later when we found a house for rent we were able to have a garden. But for the 5 years we didn’t have the land for a garden we used our windows that got the best sun. The one thing you need to be aware of is the moisture plants give off. When we were home we left the windows open 2” to allow the plants fresh air as well as allowing the moisture from the plants to escape outside so there was no damp problems. P.S. there are now also small hydroponic gardens that have grow lights for indoor gardens. There are even a handful of tabletop designs available. If you want healthy food without the high cost start a garden….where there is @ will there is a way. 😊
I am so happy I discovered your channel. I feel so much better about my ability to do something positive about my diabeties. I have been watching a lot and made many changes and it helps. I feel like I have been thrown to dealing with this alone for the most part my Dr has advised eating more veg... and given me meds and that is about it.
It would be a great help for him to watch these diabetic-related videos so he could learn from them. Please share the message. Appreciate it! Here's a secret to a Diabetic Diet: ruclips.net/video/kQs9jx21F6Y/видео.html
I was 16 years old when I found out that I have diabetes. It's not new to me because my mom's family have also diabetes (one of her sister died due to diabetes) and now I'm 17, being aware of foods that are not allowed to eat. As a filipino, you cannot just ignore the rice!! even the unhealthy foods that was served on the table! coz my siblings don't like vegetables and you just have to forcefully eat that oily foods coz if not, you have to buy eggs and boil it.
The fact that you were able to give me the short version of both the anatomy but an easy explanation of the physiology that I can apply my lessons to is phenomenal. Thank you. You are amazing.
Did you see the suggestion of synthetic vitamin b1? Its a derivative of thiamine. But fat soluble instead of water soluble like thiamine. I cant remember what its called but I just ordered some. It is supposed to help with neuropathy a lot and help your blood sugar. I have been taking Magnesium by Drs Best , serving size 2 capsule shaped pills daily for about 3 months and I forget them at times. But they have really decreased any pain in my feet !! I also take 5,000 iu of D3 with k2 daily and have as a help against covid but I think it helps neuropathy as well. Magnesium helps repair the protective sheath that covers the nerves which helps pain stop. I cant comment on the fat soluble b1 I mentioned yet but I praise the magnesium for sure. This type will not send you running to the bathroom with diarrhea. This brand is reasonably priced too. I hope you get some and it helps you. Just give it time. This is a patented formula . It says it helps support bone, heart, nerve and muscle health. My pain had not gotten to your level but I was having plenty of sharp pains at night and weird feelings. Now the weird stuff is gone and sometimes I have no pain at all. And sometimes I will get 3 or 4 sharp pains one or two times and they are gone. A couple of low grade sharp pains too. But it is almost gone. The bottle says high absorption. 2 pills give you 200 mg. The bottle has 240 pills. Get some vitamin C as well to repair your blood vessels. I used to take several grams a day. I wish I had never stopped. I am taking it again now. Im noticing poor circulation lately. I need to move more too. I also take L Lysine in high doses with my c to help clean my arteries. There is a study about that if you Google it. Might be a video on youtube. A good multivitamin would be good too as one vitamin needs the support of others. I hope this helps you. Amazon is where I get all my vitamins.
I have a Cardiologist because my father and his father my brother had bad heart condition and died from heart attack. I'm a firm believer in getting a physical every year and check my blood and I test over 6.0 A1C level. Lately I've tested 6.7 A1C level in couple of blood test in a row. The Doctor feels I should start me on Metformin 500mg 2 tablets in the morning with my breakfast to prevent me being diabetic. But this is really a very good video and eyeopener. Thanks for the great video.
One super food that my sister said lowered her sugar levels was celery. She has lost 20 lbs by removing sugars from her diet and eating 3-5 cups of salads per day. She also told me that she eats only two meals a day. Amazing results!
@@RepentfollowJesus try a salad with celery chopped up with a few slices of onion a few chopped cucumber ...dressing olive oil , gret poupon and some italian seasoning ...or skip the mustard and do lemon juice , oil and seasoning

Thank you so much for this info!! I am a severely overweight, pre-diabetic 57 yr old with psoriatic arthritis that is out of control. I am finding my morning sugar levels creeping up without a diet change. So, I started watching your videos. I am convinced that my inflammation level affects my morning sugar levels, but I didn't know much about the foods that may be making the inflammation worse!! This all started in 2012. I went to Italy for 14 days and lost 10 lbs while eating everything but desserts. I felt amazing! Then, shortly after I returned and started eating the garbage in the USA, my whole body was hit with joint and skin inflammation. I am convinced that the super wheat GMOs here was a big factor. Well, short of moving, I need to find a way to live HERE and your information is a big help! I don't think I'll ever eat french fries again! Thank you and hopefully I will get healthier!
Thankyou for making these videos. I am finding them helpful. The doctors have told me that my ha1c test result has gone down from 76 to 59. My diabetic doctor & nurse are very pleased & I am happy. They would like me to get the number down to 57 ideally. I cannot do much exercise as I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but I now want to increase my walking a little bit. I would like to go for short walks several days a week but they will have to be short. However I hope they might be enough to reduce my blood sugar a bit more.
Happy to say I don't eat any of the things on this list any more. My blood has been 5.7 for over year. My Dr. said my diabetes is completely controlled. I walk 3 miles a day too. Your videos have really helped my on this journey. Thanks.
I just got my results from my A1C and it went down from a 7 to 6.3, I am going to try to get it lower, but this is a good number for me at the moment. Thanks Dr. Ergin.
My ex's mother had severe diabetes. She kept a giant bowl of candy on her kitchen counter. Also a ton of cakes and pies. She was hospitalized 5 times in the last 3 years of my relationship. She had her pancreas removed in those 3 years. When I brought all my concerns to my ex it fell on deaf ears. I had to get out of that.
@@bluelava4282 I told my ex that she was killing herself. I had to keep a myself together. The ex was cutting herself. After 16 years I had nothing left to give.
I stumbled into an ER, and they were super surprised I wasn't in a coma. 1AC of 12. Triglycerides at 2000 (docs said they had never seen that before). Fact is, I never used sugar or sugary products. Ate healthy and exercised. Yet kept getting sicker and kept gaining weight. Had a genetic condition for high triglycerides, which had poisoned my pancreas. Three years later, after a week in the ICU, my 1AC is 5.6 and my triglycerides are at 190. Lost 50 pounds. Food choices are vital! And discovering new things to eat which are easy to enjoy. LOTS of cauliflower based products out there: cauli sandwich thins, cauli tortillas, etc.... Zero net carbs, yet yummy.
Back in July my a1c was 11.8 triglycerides over 4000 blood sugar 484. If I hadn't called 911 at 4:30 that morning I'd have died. Woke up about 8 days later and after 17 days left the hospital barely able to walk. A month later my a1c was back down to 6.0 and my blood sugar 90 day average is currently 130. This stuff isn't hard to keep under control but if you let it go it can really cause havoc. I wasn't expected to survive but the docs did a great job
@@SmokeMartini 20-50 grams of complex carbs with good fiber is plenty. I sometimes have pure carnivore days, no carbs. I sometimes fast, and have lots of energy. You get energy from the fat you eat as well. By eating this way, having lost 57 pounds in the last year doing so, I have TONS of energy compared to being fat and sickly. All of my inflammation in my joints is gone too, making me feel great.
@@phoenixmichaels very interesting and good for you but what about your basal dose? I taught that daily total basal needs to be equal to total bolus insulin. Did you kept the same basal?

Fresh salad, lightly stir fried vegetables & vegetable soup will help a lot with the constipation. There are a lot of different vegetables that are low in carbohydrates. Two of my favourites are fresh watercress in a salad, I like the slight crunchiness of the stems, & red pepper strips gently sauted in a little olive oil to soften them & bring out their natural sweetness. Raw carrot sticks dipped in houmous or soft cheese can be a nice snack but you could also try other raw vegetables for dipping.
Teresa, I was diagnosed with pre diabetes and blood sugar so high my hands and face were vibrating and was putting on massive weight. Rather than blindly black listing food based on youtube videos I ate regularly as an experiment and used a glucose meter to omit the worst offenders. Wheat bread, 2% milk, cheese, rice, potatoes in moderation and many other so called evil foods the doctor here black lists dont affect me. Soda, fruit juice and sugar free energy drinks were my issue. I eliminated 90% of obvious sugar sources and energy drinks, added a lot more veggies and lost 30lbs in 4 months. My drivers license ID doesn't look like me anymore. Procesed sugar, especially anything with fructose is poison, that's a given, but I'm tired of hearing how we can only eat diet water and broccoli with its skin removed. We are not digital copies of each other and in my case along with friends with diabetes we've had great results by cutting sugar hard and moderating breads and grains and greasy food and eating more veggies. Everybody is different.
Hi Doc I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2019. My mom and dad are diabetic and my maternal and paternal grandmothers were diabetic. I’m on Victoza and Metformin. My a1c is down to 6.4 and the highest it’s been was 7.3 but I have a bad sweet craving. Man I fail in every area you mentioned. Wow! 😞
My husband has a new endocrinologist and he put him on treciba This is the first time with him on insulin My hubby hates needles He has been on a cocktail of pills and ozempic once a week so I'm praying this daily insulin starts working.. he's got to make changes I lay here at night watching your videos and crying. Knowledge is power So grateful to you for the videos.. Hubby got his first shot IN HIS EYE today (not of insulin lol) but to treat the damage that the diabetes is causing.. tomorrow he and I will talk about all your videos I'm watching He needs to realize we are all here to help him live longer and be happy ..I thank you for being a crucial part of OUR world .. stay safe 🙏
Wish you both all the best. I was able to correct my T2D with diet only but I didn’t mess around with it. Went home from the doctor’s office and threw away everything that came in a bag, a box or a can that had any sugar content of any kind at all. (That was almost everything.) All the seed oils went away and I cook with ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil and olive oil (low heat). HbA1C went from 12.9 to 5.88 in about 4 months, lost 31 Kg (113kg to 81 kg - 68.5 lbs), Triglycerides down from >800 to 180, HDL up from 14 to 29 (not good but moving the right direction. Bought a digital scale for cooking (and I use it), I use an app for tracking food macros, glucose and ketone meters (and monitor them). Keeping carbs

Thank you Dr. For the teaching on these foods that are provided for most of us that do have a condition. You are to be appreciated by all who listen and try to follow through. Bless you sir...
About unsweetened apple juice: All juices go straight into your bloodstream and spike your blood sugar.However if you eat an apple or unsweetened apple sauce they contain a lot of fiber and they don't spike your blood sugar because of the high fiber content.
Hi Dr. I’m a new subscriber. I’m pre diabetic . Thank you for your videos. I’m going to binge watch your videos. I hope you have videos that help suggest what we CAN eat. . Once again thank you for taking the time to advise us.
Great video ! Thx so much for this I have followed your tips and lowered my blood sugar to 5.9 compared to 14.3 . I walk twice a day and swim 3x a week .
All good except YAMS the dark orange potatoes....loaded w fiber and betacarotene...the diabetic bakes one and eats a slice or two a day! For me helps me maintain the blood sugar control, decreases craving for sugar. And keeps me regular. Thanks for info doc!
Thanks for these great tips. Avoiding carbs is really tough especially when it comes to white rice, pasta and white bread. But from watching this video I was surprised that I’m unawarely consuming carbs from different stuff. Hope you continue educating people.
I read in another diabetes publication Parsnips are also high in sugar and found they did have a detrimental effect on me so stopped using them in my diet
i really like dried fruits, instead of eating by typical 1/2 cup-size or 30 gram weight-size portion, i count the actual number of pieces of the dried fruits to eat, as if the fruits are not dried. It is the way to do it.. for those who wants to eat such delicious food, but must watch the level of carbs / sugar consumed. Raisins .. 5 pieces or dried apricots 2..pieces per day.

I just recently found you and I love your info I in the last year started just grazing through the day and eating way smaller meals because I’m not as hungry with grazing I’ve lost 40lbs so far snd my ac1 is much lower
1. White pasta, white carbs, white bread 2. Soda 3. Hydrogenated 4.yogurt with fruit flavors, instead, eat fage high fat yogurt 5. Breakfast cereals with added sugar, or even healthier cereals, instead eat protein based cereals 6.fancy Starbucks drinks should be seen as desserts, instead have coffee with tablespoon of cream 7. Agave, honey, ? 8. Dried fruit and berries, high sugar consecration, watch your portion or dont eat, eat fresh berries 9.snacks in packages, pretzels, has 10%more carbs, stop snacks is best 10. French fries, fried food very bad for you. Try baked sweet potatoes, mashed parsnips, boil sweet potatoes, for 30 minutes

Hi Doctor, Do you know that sourdough bread has a much lower glycemic index and does not spike bloodsugar. We order sourdough (white) from our local supermarket and bake bread or rolls and I can the also enjoy a slice. One can make your own starter to create all sorts of delicious treats. Scones (biscuit) in America are one of many. I would like your feedback. I am from South Africa. Been type 2 for a few years, and I try my best to eat correctly. Also found that Basmati rice does spike bloodsugar that much. Obviously not every day and only a sma portion.
I am type II diabetic. I had a hard time getting the foods I wanted during Covid and my A1C went up to 11. I am a vegetarian/ sometimes vegan and on a high protein diet by using dehydrated beans that I microwave in a half cup of boiling water. In 5 months I lost 40 lbs. and A1C went down to 6.2. I eat nothing that is on your list. I continue to lose wt. and keep it off at a slow steady process.
am a type I/type II diabetic. and I understand the real difficulties in working off a vegan diet ... personally, I'm not vegan, have 'eaten vegan' for about two years in past and comfortably move in/out of that world... but to keep my carbs low, it's been green vegetables, leafy vegetables ... staying away from grains, root vegetables... and learning 'which' fruits I can eat in 'very moderate' amounts (blackberries, raspberries). I've keyed on foods that have fiber levels equal to or just slightly under sugar levels. started this journey at an A1C of 14+ and now am at 5.1 - 5.4. if I were to have to try and control my blood glucose by only being on a plant diet (and with exercise), the degree of difficulty skyrockets.
You never seem to mention onions now do onions rate on the glycemic index how best to prepare them should I cook them I have heard that onions are good for your blood so would they be in the top 10 vegetables to eat thanks Doc I really appreciate your videos up here in Ontario Canada keep up the good work

Costco (in Canada) sells bread from a company called Carbonaut. 2G NET carbs per slice! Not quite as good as regular bread of course, but wow carb wise. Each slice is 8G of carbs, but has 6G of fibre ;)
Do some research on creating resistant starches by cooking, cooling an then reheating potatoes, pasta, and rice. We experimented with that and found cooking that way reduced blood sugar spikes. We don't eat those things often but gotta have potatoes at Thanksgiving.
Caucasians store fat differently compared to Asians. Caucasian store fat under skin called subcutaneous fat where as Asians store fat around organs. You can be skinny with fatty liver, fatty pancreas and insulin resistant.
@Chucky Lives I am perfect weight and BMI. Last month i found out my fasting glucose was 365. Not good. I am following the adkins type diet now, decaf coffee, very light beer and mainly vodka, sugar free Canada dry ginger ale with a bit of lemon. Now I'm anywhere between 120 and 160 non fasting.

Four days a week I have steel cut oats (not the three minute ones) with healthy toppings, stevia and unsweetened almond milk. I then walk for an hour in the morning. Blood sugar went from 14 to 6.3 in five weeks. Walking really brings my blood sugar down.
How does the steel cut oat affect your blood sugar after eating?

Diabetes rates increased quite a bit when the A1C threshold was lowered. Many people that weren't diabetic became diabetic overnight when the A1C were changed. The same thing has happened to cholesterol and blood pressure. Diabetes rates also increased when the low fat diets were adopted to treat obesity. Turns out the low fat diets increased obesity due to high carbohydrates and much more added sugars in foods to replace dietary fat.
When was the threshold for A1C lowered?

I'm in the UK so some of the figures we use are different to the US but I wanted to share that it can be done 😁 in under 4 months I've just received my results from an HBA1C on November 12th and they're non diabetic at 41 mmol/mol 5.9% back on July 20th they were 116 mmol/mol 12.9% when I was diagnosed. My cholesterol has come down to 5.2 from 6.7 and my blood pressure to 130/60 from 150/90 during the same time frame...not to mention the 50 pounds I'm lighter and 4 dress sizes smaller 😁 low GI carbs, no simple carbs, no added sugar, low saturates and no processed foods along with daily exercise has changed my life, great advice like this is so valuable!!! 💕
Great progress !! Happy to know about your journey to good health. Just a word on the reversal process: please do measure your fasting insulin levels too. While hba1c is the indicator of our glucose levels, insulin levels are the best indicators of insulin resistance. Ideally it needs to be less than 5 with an A1C less than 5 as well, when we can comfortably say we have reversed diabetes
@@jst1334 Thank you for your kind words 😊 The latest research shows that we can put diabetes into remission but it can't be reversed. It will always be in the background but it's possible to get to a place where it's having no impact on your health. As we measure blood sugar in the UK 41 is what someone who doesn't have diabetes would score on an HBA1C so it's classed as non diabetic, 43 - 48 is pre diabetic and 49 and above is diabetic. It's a little confusing that the uk and us don't use the same figures or method, universal would be an ideal

Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩
From April I stop using sugar went on low carb do exercise and my blood sugar and pressure has drop significantly.Thank God and you too doc.
Glad you're getting better. Thank you for the support, much appreciated.
So basically you can't eat or drink anything that tastes good 😕
Bingo. 😇
I agree!
😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Welp.. such as life. If your diabetes is progressive tho... you won't be tasting/smelling much of anything when the nerves fail (like covid.. but permanent)
Correct Vicki !
I’m happy you said boiled sweet potatoes are a better option. I absolutely love mashed sweet potatoes with a little salt and pepper, smart balance buttery spread and with dill. So good! I’ll eat a small portion with meat and a leafy green salad with a ton of veggies and with oil and vinegar dressing. I’ve been on a low carb diet for about 5.5 months and have lost over 40 lbs! Not only that but I’m exercising a lot more than I ever was and now I’m not obese, overweight- I’m actually thin! Discipline pays off. My blood sugar is in check. Things are falling into place. Thanks for all the info you provided. Much appreciated!
Sadly in the US all the healthy food is horribly expensive. It makes this so much harder
Not really true. Do you hav3 a garden? If you live in an apartment or somewhere that have no room for a garden I’m sure you have windows. After my divorce I moved to a apartment. We used the windows in my kitchen and one window in my living room to have an indoor garden using glass shelves. Before you say glass with kids, yes I had kids and it was never a problem. We grew tomatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, spinach, 3 varieties of lettuce, beets, and 8 different herbs. Later when we found a house for rent we were able to have a garden. But for the 5 years we didn’t have the land for a garden we used our windows that got the best sun. The one thing you need to be aware of is the moisture plants give off. When we were home we left the windows open 2” to allow the plants fresh air as well as allowing the moisture from the plants to escape outside so there was no damp problems. P.S. there are now also small hydroponic gardens that have grow lights for indoor gardens. There are even a handful of tabletop designs available. If you want healthy food without the high cost start a garden….where there is @ will there is a way. 😊
no, it isn't.
I am so happy I discovered your channel. I feel so much better about my ability to do something positive about my diabeties. I have been watching a lot and made many changes and it helps. I feel like I have been thrown to dealing with this alone for the most part my Dr has advised eating more veg... and given me meds and that is about it.
Glad you liked it, thank you for the support! 👏
A million thanks, Doc Ahmet! As the saying goes: A good doctor's advice a day, keeps the sickness at bay. Take care🙂
Thanks to you, Bro! Keep watching our videos and don't forget to share them with your family and friends. 🙂
@@SugarMDs Welcome Doc! Of course I will because your videos are a million worth watching and sharing for.
Very informative 🙏🏾
Bingo. My brother has diabetes and man is he hurting. He’s trying his best and I’m trying help him along the way. It’s an absolute horrible disease!!
It would be a great help for him to watch these diabetic-related videos so he could learn from them. Please share the message. Appreciate it! Here's a secret to a Diabetic Diet: ruclips.net/video/kQs9jx21F6Y/видео.html
I was 16 years old when I found out that I have diabetes. It's not new to me because my mom's family have also diabetes (one of her sister died due to diabetes) and now I'm 17, being aware of foods that are not allowed to eat. As a filipino, you cannot just ignore the rice!! even the unhealthy foods that was served on the table! coz my siblings don't like vegetables and you just have to forcefully eat that oily foods coz if not, you have to buy eggs and boil it.
Can you explain on your diet pls
Me too from rice eating country, and practically its hard to avoid rice
@@TheLaughingjj me too! But for your health sake you should avoid it. Eat a little of the brown rice.
I know you can rice cauliflower or brown rice is good not white rice
Indeed. My in laws are filipino. White rice is a killer. Pagpalain ka ng DIOS
The fact that you were able to give me the short version of both the anatomy but an easy explanation of the physiology that I can apply my lessons to is phenomenal. Thank you. You are amazing.
Finding your channel has made a huge difference in my life. My neuropathies are so bad in my feet, I can barely walk.
Thank you for the support, much appreciated. 😊💛
Did you see the suggestion of synthetic vitamin b1? Its a derivative of thiamine. But fat soluble instead of water soluble like thiamine. I cant remember what its called but I just ordered some. It is supposed to help with neuropathy a lot and help your blood sugar. I have been taking Magnesium by Drs Best , serving size 2 capsule shaped pills daily for about 3 months and I forget them at times. But they have really decreased any pain in my feet !! I also take 5,000 iu of D3 with k2 daily and have as a help against covid but I think it helps neuropathy as well. Magnesium helps repair the protective sheath that covers the nerves which helps pain stop. I cant comment on the fat soluble b1 I mentioned yet but I praise the magnesium for sure. This type will not send you running to the bathroom with diarrhea. This brand is reasonably priced too. I hope you get some and it helps you. Just give it time. This is a patented formula . It says it helps support bone, heart, nerve and muscle health. My pain had not gotten to your level but I was having plenty of sharp pains at night and weird feelings. Now the weird stuff is gone and sometimes I have no pain at all. And sometimes I will get 3 or 4 sharp pains one or two times and they are gone. A couple of low grade sharp pains too. But it is almost gone. The bottle says high absorption. 2 pills give you 200 mg. The bottle has 240 pills. Get some vitamin C as well to repair your blood vessels. I used to take several grams a day. I wish I had never stopped. I am taking it again now. Im noticing poor circulation lately. I need to move more too. I also take L Lysine in high doses with my c to help clean my arteries. There is a study about that if you Google it. Might be a video on youtube. A good multivitamin would be good too as one vitamin needs the support of others. I hope this helps you. Amazon is where I get all my vitamins.
I have a Cardiologist because my father and his father my brother had bad heart condition and died from heart attack. I'm a firm believer in getting a physical every year and check my blood and I test over 6.0 A1C level. Lately I've tested 6.7 A1C level in couple of blood test in a row. The Doctor feels I should start me on Metformin 500mg 2 tablets in the morning with my breakfast to prevent me being diabetic. But this is really a very good video and eyeopener. Thanks for the great video.
One super food that my sister said lowered her sugar levels was celery. She has lost 20 lbs by removing sugars from her diet and eating 3-5 cups of salads per day. She also told me that she eats only two meals a day. Amazing results!
Makes sense on the celery. Loads of fiber and mostly water. I'll give it a try. Does she put anything on her salad? Any idea what veggies she uses?
Oh also is the salad besides the meals are us the salad the meal?
Celery juice fast with ginger
@@RepentfollowJesus try a salad with celery chopped up with a few slices of onion a few chopped cucumber ...dressing olive oil , gret poupon and some italian seasoning ...or skip the mustard and do lemon juice , oil and seasoning

I'm a diabetic I'm suffering with my vision 375 and 325 . I'm so worried about my condition .
This is literally a list of all my favorite foods. 🙂
Thank you so much for this info!! I am a severely overweight, pre-diabetic 57 yr old with psoriatic arthritis that is out of control. I am finding my morning sugar levels creeping up without a diet change. So, I started watching your videos. I am convinced that my inflammation level affects my morning sugar levels, but I didn't know much about the foods that may be making the inflammation worse!! This all started in 2012. I went to Italy for 14 days and lost 10 lbs while eating everything but desserts. I felt amazing! Then, shortly after I returned and started eating the garbage in the USA, my whole body was hit with joint and skin inflammation. I am convinced that the super wheat GMOs here was a big factor. Well, short of moving, I need to find a way to live HERE and your information is a big help! I don't think I'll ever eat french fries again! Thank you and hopefully I will get healthier!
Moringa is OUTSTANDING for inflammation ..this doc also has a video on Moringa, check it out.
The way foods is processed is also an important thing.
Thankyou for making these videos. I am finding them helpful. The doctors have told me that my ha1c test result has gone down from 76 to 59. My diabetic doctor & nurse are very pleased & I am happy. They would like me to get the number down to 57 ideally. I cannot do much exercise as I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but I now want to increase my walking a little bit. I would like to go for short walks several days a week but they will have to be short. However I hope they might be enough to reduce my blood sugar a bit more.
Glad you liked it, much love. 😊💛
Happy to say I don't eat any of the things on this list any more. My blood has been 5.7 for over year. My Dr. said my diabetes is completely controlled. I walk 3 miles a day too. Your videos have really helped my on this journey.
Thanks.

My ex's mother had severe diabetes. She kept a giant bowl of candy on her kitchen counter. Also a ton of cakes and pies. She was hospitalized 5 times in the last 3 years of my relationship. She had her pancreas removed in those 3 years. When I brought all my concerns to my ex it fell on deaf ears. I had to get out of that.
Right choice….You can’t save the world and it’s frustrating…. Good luck 👍
@@bluelava4282 I told my ex that she was killing herself. I had to keep a myself together. The ex was cutting herself. After 16 years I had nothing left to give.

I stumbled into an ER, and they were super surprised I wasn't in a coma. 1AC of 12. Triglycerides at 2000 (docs said they had never seen that before). Fact is, I never used sugar or sugary products. Ate healthy and exercised. Yet kept getting sicker and kept gaining weight. Had a genetic condition for high triglycerides, which had poisoned my pancreas. Three years later, after a week in the ICU, my 1AC is 5.6 and my triglycerides are at 190. Lost 50 pounds. Food choices are vital! And discovering new things to eat which are easy to enjoy. LOTS of cauliflower based products out there: cauli sandwich thins, cauli tortillas, etc.... Zero net carbs, yet yummy.
Back in July my a1c was 11.8 triglycerides over 4000 blood sugar 484. If I hadn't called 911 at 4:30 that morning I'd have died. Woke up about 8 days later and after 17 days left the hospital barely able to walk. A month later my a1c was back down to 6.0 and my blood sugar 90 day average is currently 130. This stuff isn't hard to keep under control but if you let it go it can really cause havoc. I wasn't expected to survive but the docs did a great job
but with such a lot carbs amount per day how to you get your energy? where your liver is taking its carbs to match your basal insulin?
@@SmokeMartini 20-50 grams of complex carbs with good fiber is plenty. I sometimes have pure carnivore days, no carbs. I sometimes fast, and have lots of energy. You get energy from the fat you eat as well. By eating this way, having lost 57 pounds in the last year doing so, I have TONS of energy compared to being fat and sickly. All of my inflammation in my joints is gone too, making me feel great.
@@phoenixmichaels very interesting and good for you but what about your basal dose? I taught that daily total basal needs to be equal to total bolus insulin. Did you kept the same basal?

Would like to see a video about foods we CAN eat. Everything has sugar in it. I was surviving on alot of cheese but that is constipating.
It is coming
Fresh salad, lightly stir fried vegetables & vegetable soup will help a lot with the constipation. There are a lot of different vegetables that are low in carbohydrates. Two of my favourites are fresh watercress in a salad, I like the slight crunchiness of the stems, & red pepper strips gently sauted in a little olive oil to soften them & bring out their natural sweetness. Raw carrot sticks dipped in houmous or soft cheese can be a nice snack but you could also try other raw vegetables for dipping.
Teresa, I was diagnosed with pre diabetes and blood sugar so high my hands and face were vibrating and was putting on massive weight. Rather than blindly black listing food based on youtube videos I ate regularly as an experiment and used a glucose meter to omit the worst offenders. Wheat bread, 2% milk, cheese, rice, potatoes in moderation and many other so called evil foods the doctor here black lists dont affect me. Soda, fruit juice and sugar free energy drinks were my issue. I eliminated 90% of obvious sugar sources and energy drinks, added a lot more veggies and lost 30lbs in 4 months. My drivers license ID doesn't look like me anymore. Procesed sugar, especially anything with fructose is poison, that's a given, but I'm tired of hearing how we can only eat diet water and broccoli with its skin removed. We are not digital copies of each other and in my case along with friends with diabetes we've had great results by cutting sugar hard and moderating breads and grains and greasy food and eating more veggies. Everybody is different.
Eat arugala salad with a meat the size of your palm.

Wish you both all the best. I was able to correct my T2D with diet only but I didn’t mess around with it. Went home from the doctor’s office and threw away everything that came in a bag, a box or a can that had any sugar content of any kind at all. (That was almost everything.) All the seed oils went away and I cook with ghee (clarified butter), coconut oil and olive oil (low heat).
HbA1C went from 12.9 to 5.88 in about 4 months, lost 31 Kg (113kg to 81 kg - 68.5 lbs), Triglycerides down from >800 to 180, HDL up from 14 to 29 (not good but moving the right direction. Bought a digital scale for cooking (and I use it), I use an app for tracking food macros, glucose and ketone meters (and monitor them). Keeping carbs

About unsweetened apple juice: All juices go straight into your bloodstream and spike your blood sugar.However if you eat an apple or unsweetened apple sauce they contain a lot of fiber and they don't spike your blood sugar because of the high fiber content.

Is there a huge difference between white rice and red rice ????
White bread isnt just bad for diabetics - there's zero nutritional value in it!
I read in another diabetes publication Parsnips are also high in sugar and found they did have a detrimental effect on me so stopped using them in my diet

Thank you for the support, much appreciated. 😊
Dr Ervin thank you for sharing all this information
i really like dried fruits, instead of eating by typical 1/2 cup-size or 30 gram weight-size portion, i count the actual number of pieces of the dried fruits to eat, as if the fruits are not dried. It is the way to do it.. for those who wants to eat such delicious food, but must watch the level of carbs / sugar consumed. Raisins .. 5 pieces or dried apricots 2..pieces per day.
Thank you for your advice, I will keep in mind when I eat those things.
I have almost completely eliminated potatoes in my diet by substituting with cauliflower. Quite a bit more expensive, but well worth it.

When ever I wanna open my fridge....he pops up. 😆😉
🤣
Lol:)
I just recently found you and I love your info
I in the last year started just grazing through the day and eating way smaller meals because I’m not as hungry with grazing I’ve lost 40lbs so far snd my ac1 is much lower
Yep everyone has a different body type and physiology. Whatever works to keep the weight off keep it up.
Elevated insulin through the day sounds like not a great idea. But if it works for you though...
P.S. Knock out the cravings for sweet and you lick the diabetes deal. Every diabetic that I've ever known, craves sugar constantly.
I agree
Please kindly advise what should I do 4 the cravings of sugar 🙏
1. White pasta, white carbs, white bread
2. Soda
3. Hydrogenated
4.yogurt with fruit flavors, instead, eat fage high fat yogurt
5. Breakfast cereals with added sugar, or even healthier cereals, instead eat protein based cereals
6.fancy Starbucks drinks should be seen as desserts, instead have coffee with tablespoon of cream
7. Agave, honey, ?
8. Dried fruit and berries, high sugar consecration, watch your portion or dont eat, eat fresh berries
9.snacks in packages, pretzels, has 10%more carbs, stop snacks is best
10. French fries, fried food very bad for you. Try baked sweet potatoes, mashed parsnips, boil sweet potatoes, for 30 minutes
Thank you ☺️
Thank you Cassie!

I’ve read that artificial sweeteners, including stevia, should be avoided because they can cause A1C to increase as well.
If that's true, it sucks.
I can also see dealing with this disease can change your personality. Imagine what hunger, cravings, and limited food options could do to a person.
Hi Doctor,
Do you know that sourdough bread has a much lower glycemic index and does not spike bloodsugar.
We order sourdough (white) from our local supermarket and bake bread or rolls and I can the also enjoy a slice. One can make your own starter to create all sorts of delicious treats. Scones (biscuit) in America are one of many.
I would like your feedback.
I am from South Africa.
Been type 2 for a few years, and I try my best to eat correctly.
Also found that Basmati rice does spike bloodsugar that much. Obviously not every day and only a sma portion.
sourdough also raises blood sugar
Thank you so much Dr for all the clear information ,it’s really useful 👍🙏
QUESTION is eating cooked grouts better than steel cut oats since it even less processed?
thank you sugarmds, you save our life!
I am type II diabetic. I had a hard time getting the foods I wanted during Covid and my A1C went up to 11. I am a vegetarian/ sometimes vegan and on a high protein diet by using dehydrated beans that I microwave in a half cup of boiling water. In 5 months I lost 40 lbs. and A1C went down to 6.2. I eat nothing that is on your list. I continue to lose wt. and keep it off at a slow steady process.
am a type I/type II diabetic. and I understand the real difficulties in working off a vegan diet ... personally, I'm not vegan, have 'eaten vegan' for about two years in past and comfortably move in/out of that world... but to keep my carbs low, it's been green vegetables, leafy vegetables ... staying away from grains, root vegetables... and learning 'which' fruits I can eat in 'very moderate' amounts (blackberries, raspberries). I've keyed on foods that have fiber levels equal to or just slightly under sugar levels. started this journey at an A1C of 14+ and now am at 5.1 - 5.4. if I were to have to try and control my blood glucose by only being on a plant diet (and with exercise), the degree of difficulty skyrockets.
Thank you for sharing be blessed
You never seem to mention onions now do onions rate on the glycemic index how best to prepare them should I cook them I have heard that onions are good for your blood so would they be in the top 10 vegetables to eat thanks Doc I really appreciate your videos up here in Ontario Canada keep up the good work

Thank you Doc for your good advice and very resourceful imformation regarding diabetis treatment, may the Lord bless your good work to us..Godbless !
I am not diabetic but do try to eat low carb ,no sugar . I f I can do this (which I am) anyone can do it, I was a sugar addict, everything had to be sweet or I would add sugar to it. I have been Keto since the beginning when Covid hit. I was 9st 6 lb now I’m 8st 2lb and feel great. 👍💖🇬🇧
Nice to hear that. Keep it up!
Hi doctor, after my sister had covid few months ago, her pancreas stop working and since then we have been battling type 1 diabetes .please is there anything we can to do for us to rejuvenate her pancreas?
Daves killer bread, the green packet one 21 whole grains 22 carbs per slice and 5 of fiber, works great for me and taste really good
Try Schmidts 647 bread. 6 grams net carbs instead of 17. Tastes great!!
Costco (in Canada) sells bread from a company called Carbonaut. 2G NET carbs per slice! Not quite as good as regular bread of course, but wow carb wise. Each slice is 8G of carbs, but has 6G of fibre ;)
Killer is right!
Do some research on creating resistant starches by cooking, cooling an then reheating potatoes, pasta, and rice. We experimented with that and found cooking that way reduced blood sugar spikes. We don't eat those things often but gotta have potatoes at Thanksgiving.
Thanks Dr! I'm your die hard fan & your tips on diabetes food intake are always helpful! Bless you !
Nice to hear that. Hope you learn a lot! Keep on watching our videos and don't forget to spread the good news.
Tnks so much again Dr..God bless you n your family more...
Can u talk about skinny people getting type 2 diabetes. Cause the general public thinks it's only fat people that get type 2 diabetes.
We have videos about that actually. If you keep watching my teaching videos carefully you will understand why skinny people get diabetes as well.
Caucasians store fat differently compared to Asians. Caucasian store fat under skin called subcutaneous fat where as Asians store fat around organs. You can be skinny with fatty liver, fatty pancreas and insulin resistant.
@@SugarMDs I'm new to ur channel, I will check it out.
just tell us not to eat anything😢😭
@Chucky Lives I am perfect weight and BMI. Last month i found out my fasting glucose was 365. Not good. I am following the adkins type diet now, decaf coffee, very light beer and mainly vodka, sugar free Canada dry ginger ale with a bit of lemon. Now I'm anywhere between 120 and 160 non fasting. Joint pain gone. foot burning gone. Im 56 and feel much better. If your food comes out of a box or a can, STOP IT. low or zero carbs is the answer!
