Since I started eating a healthy plant-based diet I had to reduce my insulin intake because I was getting too much hypoglycemias. My diabetologist is always amazed at how my glycated hemoglobin levels are so near to a non-diabetic person levels, exercise might do its part too. Thanks for the video

Great news that evidenced based research is coming out! I’ve had t1d for 11 years and recently began eating plant based and my blood sugar levels have never been better. Definitely something to this.
Thank you so much for thinking of people with T1D. I have a son who has it and it is frustrating that most information is regarding T2D or they refer to both of them as the same thing.
twn5858 thank you so much for sharing that with me! I will definitely look for him! And my total admiration for you, living with T1D...total heroes you and everyone that has to go through a T1D life!🙌🏼💖
T1 since 1981 and happy to hear this report. However, my inbox is about to be flooded by people asking why I still have diabetes despite being vegetarian for 22 years and vegan for 11 years. Yes, I do take (relatively) small doses of insulin but there is (still) no cure for (long term) type 1. Of note is that my retinopathy vanished once I was 3 years on to being vegan....but this report has set me up for "sugar-splaining" stuff to a whole new group of 'helpful' loved ones and strangers.
@Dick Hedd Like your name! Mine comes from a party I was at about a decade ago. Was talking with someone about veganism and, when I went to the kitchen to pour another whiskey I heard, "Where's that drunk vegan gal? I've got more questions!" I found it funny and it just stuck. Yes. I do get drunk sometimes - whether or not you can as a T1 is very specific to the individual. I'm in my mid-50s so I'm one of the lucky, drunker, ones :D
@Dick Hedd 1) I live in Canada so prescriptions are free or cheap. 2) I have a Canadian sense of humour. 3) We spell humour with a "u". 4) Please lighten up... getting tipsy or drunk now and again doesn't make me an alcoholic. PS - Mary Tyler Moore is my hero (smirk)
@Dick Hedd I even put SMIRK in brackets in hopes you'd clue in. *sigh* If you don't understand sarcasm, irony or taking the piss, it's lucky you weren't born in Canada or anywhere else in the Commonwealth. Whatever you do; don't watch Monty Python's Flying Circus or UK style comedies at all :D
Thanks Doctor Greger 😊. My 15 year old son was diagnosed with the autoimmune markers and poor BG control last year. We were denied entry into two clinical trials for immune modulators, anyway I have been battling narrow minded Drs for 12 months. They wanted to put him on insulin 12 months ago. We have a A1C of 6.1 nmol/L for the last 12 months and remained off insulin. I would love to push off insulin use for as long as possible. He cheats often as his 15 but if he eats small amounts of meat, large amounts veg and legumes and fruits, with negligible processed food, he has really good blood glucose control. I want total remission from his disease 🤞🏻, you give me hope. Thanks 🙏🏻 😊💜
As a type 1 it really pains me when I see other types 1s promoting low carb or keto diets when we're so susceptible to CVD. I try to educate but it seems the dogma of carbs being bad has really taken them down a very resistant path. I know myself that when I switched to a more wfpb diet my insulin requirements went right down. Even now, if I stray to more processed stuff for a few days my insulin requirements shot up again even if I'm not eating anymore overall calories. I try telling type 2s this but they think I'm lying. Bit insulting really but hey they just want to believe cheese and eggs are good for them and anything with carbs must be the devil.
The risk for CVD is in fact more than 10 times higher with type 1 diabetes. But why is it that risk so much higher? Because of the elevated blood sugars and a1c. So having control over your blood sugar should be number 1 goal of every person with diabetes. Because with that you can lower your risk potentially 10times. The benefit of having normal blood sugars will outweight all the over effects nutrition has on CVD by a lot. So even if there are some negativ effects with saturated fats and lots of animal products, if the people can stick with the diet keto in the long run, it can be a good thing for type1. So can wfpb. There are benefitial effects on blood sugar on both the keto diet and the wfpb diet. So why don't you do both at the same time and go on a mainly plant based low carb diet with well choosen and healthy fats.
I have derm urticaria, lichen planus, arthritis in hands & feet especially - when the sores on my hands & legs were so unbearable that I was willing to try anything, I went on a super crazy strict whole plant food diet with ZERO processed foods for 3 months. In 2 weeks I saw a big difference. By the end of 3 months not only were my diseases nonexistent, but my allergy to my cat was gone. I now eat small amounts of processed foods with no recurrence of my symptoms. However, at the end of a big vacation where I'm eating terrible and drinking cocktails, I will see some pustules from lichen planus come back, and the aching in my joints and the hives from the derm urticaria come back too. But I'm able to drive them out in a few days of getting back to a strict diet for a few days. Then I go back to my loose version of 90% unprocessed. I lost 30 lbs too - and I eat as much as I want :)
Dang, Dr. Gregor just putting the smack down on dietary associative atrocities. Straightening out falsified food facts with an attitude of snap, crackle, and pop. And then he hits you with that peer review and a mic drop. God bless you Dr. Gregor.

Though I do think it's great news about the IJDRP and the fact that some 3-year old was saved from N-stage type 1. I'm just not sure it's a study, more of a case report. And how practical is this finding? We can't be preemptively screening kids for these anti-bodies, we could of course try convincing kids to preventively eat their veggies, which they'll probably hate us for but hey if it saves them from diabetes and CVD then it's worth a try and for their own good.
I was searching for randomized controlled clinical trials, not for miracles. Maybe you can make is familiar with the clinical trials behind your assertions.
An annecdote is basically a story, that can be made up. A case study is a documentation of scientific meassurements, giving ideas for other researchers to investigate more
quick edit: Do these studies show whole foods help prevent diabetes or does the elimination of sugar extracts (A healthy diet) cause this? Yeah, dude, eat more carbs, will totally help blood sugar control, won't make you fat at all. Did you know a vegan keto diet gives you Hemroids? Honestly, the vegan lifestyle was the worst I ever adopted, I got so fat and unhealthy from all the whole grain bread and beans, so many phytoestrogens, the best diet I have adopted has been keto with high animal protein, leafy greens, lots of mushrooms & good fiber with Chinese herbal medicines.
@@Suitswonderland Your story of woe as written. Unless you already had serious insulin resistance and/or PCOS, eating whole carbs ought not to have caused your symptoms, and the part about "so many phytoestrogens" is a tell that you are not being completely open about your clinical condition prior to starting a plant-based diet, or it suggests that you were misdiagnosed and are not aware of complications you may have had. I know this sounds accusatory and harsh, but you must understand how often we read such comments from trolls who cite exactly these clinically peculiar results from eating a whole food plant-based diet who, under prodding, prove to have never eaten a plant-based diet and to be motivated by a need to sow disinfo. I apologize in advance if I have inferred incorrectly and misrepresented what you are relating about your history. Further, I am not asking that you reveal information about medical conditions that you aren't comfortable revealing. It's just that your biography defies the bulk of clinical dietary research regarding healthy plant-based diets for diabetes treatment.

Thank you Dr.Greger! This video about the Type 1 Diabetes was fantastic. Many people can't imagine how a plant-based diet can heal your body.

*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
Hello Mr Greger. I am very interested in one question. I now know that type 2 diabetes is curable. Can type 1 diabetes be cured with a vegan diet?
Dr Furhman has talked about this for a few years with some of his patients and says it must be caught early.
Is it the same doctor who said that eating even one egg a week
Can cause you diabetes ?
