5 Tests in 1 Day to get an Estimated Average Glucose:
1. Upon arising
2. One hour after lunch
3. Three hours after lunch
4. One hour after supper
5. Just before going to bed
Formula for figuring your A1c:
1. Get total for all five daily tests above
2. Divide this number by five
3. Add 46.7
4. Divide by 28.7
5. This is your A1c

I been a type 2 diabetic since August 2013 I was in a diabetic coma and on dialysis for awhile and lost weight now got my a1c 7.3 to 6.1 God is good
I am glad you found Dennis' channel. Must be the Holy Spirit! Keep working hard to stay low carb. 6.1 is still high. I have been low carb since 1998 when I was diagnosed. Of course I have had some relapses.
So glad to hear you’ve made changes. My sister went into diabetic coma and passed away at the young age of 48. I am fighting pre-diabetes myself.
Good for you! I’m at the low end of pre diabetes myself 5.6-5.8 in the past years. I’m working on nipping this in the bud before it gets worse. So glad Dennis is here for us!
Keep going! Getting it down from your starting point is awesome! Don't stop better health is God's will.
Always Good
I beat diabetes, now I have to beat it again. Lchf, keto absolutely works and is sustainable for long enough. It changed the way you think about food for the better.
I bought a fancy calendar book and write everything I eat on it. When I check my blood sugar next morning I can look and see what I had, if there was a difference. It seems that it just takes a while to get your numbers down even though I’m eating well. I have noticed to eat a larger meal earlier and try to walk more. Just keep going, takes time. My dad lost a leg due to a stupid receptionist making him wait for an appointment. We kept telling him to go in. One thing I learned from a friend, her mother in law was getting her leg amputated in 3 days. They kept rubbing zinc cream all over the leg, when she went in for the operation the doctor said whatever you’re doing keep it up. Operation cancelled. Get it at Target, any brand, got their brand under $6, baby diaper rash 40% zinc. I had a tiny sore, started getting bigger after a week. Put zinc on at night, in morning half gone. Also if I feel like my toes are starting to get sore, put cream on, heals right up.
Thank you for the tip about zinc cream. Also, I’ve been keeping a notebook of what I eat and the time, too. Very helpful
Dennis, I finally made it to an A1c of 4.9!!!
Congratulations!🎉
🎉❤😂 congratulations!
Hooray ❤
😊 WOW 🎉
Yeaaaaah!
THANK YOU!! I mean that from the bottom of my heart,sir. THANK YOU.
One month ago, I had an a1c of 6.1. One year ago it was 5.7. Dr. told me I was pre-diabetic over the phone and said to exercise and follow the Diabetes Association diet guidelines.
I was TERRIFIED. My mom is diabetic and had quadruple bypass open heart surgery a few years ago. She's slowly losing her eye sight, her toes are starting to turn black and she can no longer drive because she has lost feeling in her feet. She's 74,I'm 54.
All I can say is Thanks Be to God for the internet,you and others here on RUclips who have taken the time and the effort to educate me on how to beat this monster!! Its only been a few weeks but I've already seen my morning fasting number go from 116 down to the high 90's low 100's. I'll have another a1c done in 3 months and I have all the confidence in the world that I will have beaten diabetus by Christmas :) THANK YOU!
Im sorry that was so long😆❤
Keep going, you can use your mother's journey as a personal testimony! You can do this!
So happy you are doing better! Wonderful!
I want to thank you. I believed you when you said one could beat diabetes. And I did. I had an A1c of 7.1 in January, and in July it was 5.6 (normal). 6 years diagnosed, and undiagnosed at least 5 years before that. I'm also pushing 70. I'm continuing with my low carb journey, losing weight and feeling so much better.
Awesome! Well done.
Excellent information ! diagnosed 2.5 weeks ago. A1C was 12 from lab. changed diet drastically. estimate A1C 7.5. This is very encouraging. !
Watching from the Philippines. My A1c dropped from 12.6 in March 2023 to 5.8 on September 6, 2023. I did not take any meds I just followed your advice on low carb and time restricted eating. I also test my blood sugar religiously. Thank you for the inspiration. I am not done yet, i want my A1c to be in the 5s and I am not stopping until I get there.
Great job! In the Phil’s myself! 8 months. Such beauty here. Worth living for!
😊
How did u drop it so much so fast. Amazing results. What supplements did u use?
Even after 4 yhears, and an A1c of 5.0, I still use Mike to inform me if a new food will work or not work. Dennis, who told everybody about Mike, changed and added years to my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Ben & Den.
We appreciate you, Bill and your lovely wife, Ann!
I want to give a praise report all to the glory of the Lord Most High!! In 2016 when I got diagnosed with diabetes my A1c was 14.3. Fast forward to August 31st, after the word of the Lord came to me and told me that ,"diabetes just broke," on a Saturday August 6th!! He also told me to go and get a blood test done at the end of August. So I did on August 31st. Got my results back and it came back 5.6, non diabetic in the notes!!! Praise the Lord!!! I am further motivated to bring this down further into the 4's but I thank God for His faithfulness to His word to heal me and for sending me to you Brother Dennis!! I've also decided to fire this new doctor because she doesn't support a healthy lifestyle!! She likes to push pills
So happy that God has delivered you from the grip of diabetes!
Praise God
In Apri my my AIC was 27!!!! N 91kgs Yes,now 5.5 I followed every step n did no carb diet lost weight n feeling young n great.God bless you pastor 🙏
believeabe
I am glad to hear the other viewer had a positive experience with their doctor. In order to get the blood work for the challenge I had to have a follow up appointment with the dietician and I was told all about healthy grains and cutting back on meat. The proof the dietician was not even paying attention to herself came at the end when she refered to me as Mr. (first name). On the way home I went treasure hunting at a thrift store and I saw a book by an author Dennis recomended, Gary Taubes. So $1.99 (less 10% Grumpy Old Guy Discount) later I got far more useful advice. Taubes says governments have known carbs are the problem almost as long as they have known smoking is a problem but we still get the low fat advice.
Wow.....A Taubes book that cheap!!!! That's like a lottery win!!!!
Hi Dennis. You are such a motivation for me. My HbA1c dropped from 11.9 ( 12 July 2023 ) to 5.7 ( 18 sep 2023 ). I am on keto from 12 august till now. I am inspired by you. Thanks a lot from Pakistan.
are you on metformin. how did you do it.. Please send me details. thanks
@@SaraSara-ee7hu I am on keto diet. This is because of this. The main root cause is carbohydrates
@@SaraSara-ee7hu No by the grace of God I am not taking any kind of pill
@@SaraSara-ee7hu if you need the diet guidance I can help you. What Is your current HbA1c ?
@@AA-cz8kw It was 6.2 in March. I have do lot of effort to make it down. but in September it is 6.1 now..without medication.
Thanks for this!
When I first found out I was diabetic, type 2, I remember going to breakfast with another type 2 friend. My first tests showed the highest number ever of 224 after pasta. That immediately showed me to avoid pasta. My friend calmly sat there that morning testing her sugar before she ate and came up with the number 360😳 I expected her to drop dead in front of me! But I was even more horrified to see her order eggs, toast, home fries AND pancakes with a cup of coffee using milk and sugar. She ate all of it and miraculously did not die in front of me. Laughed at me for ordering a spinach feta cheese omelette, no toast or potatoes and just coffee with half and half. She struggles with major obesity and diabetic side effects and can hardly walk. My A1C has constantly stayed in the 5.5 range. I have lost 110 lbs and feel better and more energetic than I ever have felt. I am 64. My Dr tells me I am a controlled diabetic and is very proud of me, so are my family & friends. Part of the reason to work so hard on this, and I do enjoy my low carb meals and half and half mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my coffee with a bit of erythritol for sweetening, is to never put my family through the fear and heartbreak that diabetic complications would cause to me if I allowed that. I watched a mother and a brother have many of them and it was heartbreaking. So, if you don’t do it for yourself, please think of your loved ones!
Thanks for sharing. You have a beautiful attitude! God bless you.
I order two eggs over easy, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, and ham. (They say that restaurants put pancake batter in the scrambled eggs, so I never order scrambled.)
Thank you Dennis . I told my Doctor about the challenge and told him I was going to have A1C in the 5% range by Christmas. I was shocked by his response he said, why would you want to… I said because I want lower numbers to protect my organs, my kidneys, my liver, my eyes, and I was recently diagnosed with diabetes3. I wonder, would he have ask a cancer patient why do they want to be in remission? With God’s help and with your direction I will reach my goal. My last A1C 6.7
Wow! What your doctor said to you is absolutely unbelievable!
Find another doctor.
You have a great attitude!
Type3 diabetes is just a THEORETICAL term used by SOME researchers that long-term insulin resistance MAY lead to ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. It is NOT widely used except in research. Type3 diabetes is NOT recognized in the clinical field or by the American Diabetes Association .
How are you doing now? Well toward reaching your goal we all hope!
Now that I only need to see my primary care physician once a year, I only get an A1C test once a year. The instructions for the online A1C calculator is very useful to me as a way to stay in control between office visits.
In 3 months my a1c gas dropped to under 6 since cutting carbs and sugar. No more metfomin. Lost 30 pounds.
Love to you and Benedicta for all the love you share with the world. Even though she’s not always on camera, I know this is teamwork and her part is equally important. God bless you and your different team ministries. ❤
Thanks! You can see more of Benedicta on our Bible channel every Thursday.
The drug dealers own most doctors. No prescriptions, no kickbacks.
Buying the book. Dennis, you are and continue to be an inspiration to so many. May Gods blessings be upon you always.
Greetings from Ethiopia. That was very helpful. Thank you, Dennis.
Glad it was helpful!
🥀👏🥀 My besties are Dennis and Mike the Meter...The twin brothers of Information and Motivation!...Nuff said! 🥀👏🥀
technically I already completed the challenge, but I think I can do better! My A1c was 10 in May upon first diagnosis. In Sept it is now 6.2! I plan to improve even further. No meds, just low carb and fasting.
❤😂 keep going!
You are doing great!!
Fantastic!
Dr. Ur English is very clear to understand. Thank you for doing this service to mankind.
I am from Pakistan
I am so glad to see your channel. Every since I have been given a pre-diabetic diagnosis I have been using a meter to check my blood sugar to see how certain foods effect me. I have learned a lot, however I was starting to feel sort of silly. Your video shows me that instead of being silly I am on the right path. Think I will learn a lot from listening to you. Thank you.
Thank you for this information. I started a low carb diet Nov,1,23. I resisted it for a long time but I finally took the challenge. I’m gluten intolerant so getting rid of bread and grains wasn’t difficult. My numbers were high but I have noticed them slowly coming down especially during the day. They aren’t as low as I want but I’m seeing progress and I know with insulin resistance it’s going to take a long time. Not only do I want to succeed but I also want to be able to show my doctor I can do this without drugs no matter how long this takes. I didn’t get this way over night so I know change will take time. I’m looking forward to lower numbers as you have shown it’s attainable.
Same here, I'm prediabetic, but don't want it to progress.
Can't thank you enough for how much you've helped me! After 3 mths I've finally started hitting low 5s all because I heard you say eat early! I am doing your challenge to keep me on track! Thanks again. God bless!
Awesome!
Wow, What a human being! Thank you sir! This world needs more people like you!
What a great podcast I was diagnosed only 4 months ago with a reading of A1c 6.5 to my great shock as I did fit any of the normal diabetic parameters and yesterday my result was back to normal levels not even diabetic. My doctor was amazed and I also told him about your channel. I was so excited I rushed out of his office and had to phone him up later to get my new score, 😂Thank you guys for all your information. God given for sure. Keep up the great work and advise, Bob from Perth Western Australia.
Thank you Dennis.
When I see success I'm encouraged to do better.
This challenge is helping me to continue being motivated. 🎉
😊
Thank you Mr. Dennis, in teaching us the right way to lower our diabetes, for that i am grateful. May God Almighty continue to always bless you and your lovey wife Ben.
Lowered my A1c from 7.6 on June 1, 2023 this year to 6.7 on September 1 following your teachings along with watching the RUclips channels of Jason Fung and Ken Berry. I’m enrolled in the Challenge and hope by December I’ll be in the non diabetic range. One side note, Medicare will only pay for 1 testing strip per day, but I’m gladly paying for the strips on my own. I was going to be paying a lot of money for the additional medication my doctor wanted me to start last June. She fully supported my decision to try to get better control through changing how I eat. I’m down from 5 diabetic pills a day to 2 metformin. I think I’ll be able to stop taking my acid reflux medication soon, which has been a wonderful side benefit along with the joy of losing 20 pounds.
Jason Fung and Ken Berry are also the channels I watch! These 3 men have changed my life!
catherinweatley, if your medicare advantage plan only pays for one test strip a day then you need to change providers. Mine was paying for 200 strips a month until I became non-diabetic and they stopped paying for strips altogether.
Interesting that Medicare only pays for one strip per day for you. My doctor prescribes 12 refills on a prescription for 100 test strips and Medicare and my supplemental plan cover the cost of all the refills. Maybe it is your doctor who does not know that they will pay for more if he prescribes more refills. My silly doctor told me that I only need to test in the morning and that I don't need to bother with more. He also told me that I can allow my blood sugar after a meal to go to 200. I was mortified!
I was told that because I was only taking oral meds, my limit was 1 strip per day. This was several years ago and when I was trying to refill for more strips, I received a form from Medicare where I had to record my morning fasting glucose for 30 days and bring it to the doctor’s office. I’m on original Medicare (not an Advantage plan). My doctor was wanting me to test twice a day, but Medicare said no to more strips.
@@catherinewheatley1493Interesting. I guess I'm fortunate that I have never had Medicare limit the number of strips I can get. I too was taking oral meds (Metformin), but had a reaction, so I manage my type 2 with diet.
Hi Dennis
Wow !!!!!!!. Way to go. You are a champion. God bless you and your family.
I have been on a journey. 1 year ago I weighed 260# with an A1C of 8.8! Watching your and Dr. Berry made me think strongly about doing SOMETHING! I started the keta-voire (more voire than Keto) in January and am proud to report I'm now at 200# and an A1C of 5.6 as of this past Monday. I would be better off yet but I broke my back on 4 July and couldn't stand long enough to throw meals together (my wife has dementia and I'm chief cook and bottle washer). I'm close to the point of resuming the war and plan on another 20-25# and a lower yet A1C.
Thanks for all you do in helping us!
Neil
I admire you! Determination, commitment, and patience are clearly strengths that you have in abundance. You are staying the course and achieving great success even with the added work, stress and sadness you must experience as you slowly lose your wife to dementia. ❤
❤
Thank-you Dennis and Benedicta Jesus Christ bless you both.
Thank you very much Dennis for explaining how one does a home A1c and all the advice you so passionately give for improving our health. Truly much appreciated.
This video reflects what I have done since being diagnosed with prediabetes one month ago, I bought a cheap glucose reader from Amazon, and decided to monitor everything I ate, wrote the results on paper, and what I had eaten, then from that list I wrote another list for the foods (meals) that didn't cause my blood sugar to go high , so I can easily refer to the 'Good Food List' which gives me the freedom to choose what to eat without worrying, like I said I've only been doing it for less than a month, so early days, but I have lost 12 lbs in three weeks, but as a rule avoid anything white, including foods made from white flour, white rice, sugary drinks, white bread, no added sugars at all, I also increased my fruit intake, but not the high sugar fruits such as pineapple,mango, grapes, but another tip is to increase your fibre intake which helps prevent sugar spikes, so I always look at the Carbs verses Fibre content, as I rule I try to have a carb to fibre ratio of 5-1 or there abouts if possible, another thing I do is, if eating potato with a meal I make sure I have green veg to counter the potatoes, my test showed a reading of 106..... 2.5 hours after consumption, but I am still learning all the time, and will make changes as I go along, but my overall strategy is the same as yourself Dennis, so thank you confirming my own approach has almost mirrored yours ! (first time viewer)
I’m interested in your ratio of 5-1…can you give an example?
@@vickielster3928 Yes of course no problem, I must point out the 5-1 ratio is a target, so the closer I can get to that the better, can't a;ways do that, but i tell myself anything 10-1 or less is ok !
Weetabix for example has the following.... (Per 100g serving) 69g Carbs, and 10g of Fibre, so that makes a ratio of 6.9 - 1 which is pretty close to my target of 5-1, another is Zenb spaghetti...as follows.....(per 100g serving) 51g Carbs, and 12g of fibre, so that makes a ratio of 4.25 - 1 which is lower than my target ! I've just found wholewheat Noodles, not had them as yet, but the read out is as follows.... 65g Carbs and 7.7g of Fibre, which makes a ratio of 8.4 - 1 but still within my 10-1 limit ! Hope that helps, Just to say I divide the Carb number by the Fibre content, hence avoiding anything white as the fibre content is practically zero with very high Carbs !
Thank you sir! For all your videos. They have been a major help for me to get my A1C way under control from a super high one! 1️⃣ Thanks. I will be forever grateful to you and 2 other YT’s.
You are the best! i got my A1c back down to 6.3. It should be 5.5 next time. I much better than i have ever been. You are the major reason by your videos and prayers. You and your wife are very special to us! Go Bless you both!
Mr Danise, God bless you for what you are doing for the world. What should I eat as a kidney patient trying to get better? Thank you.
I started watching your videos after my diagnosis with diabetes with 8.5 hba1c. Now i am at 5.5 to 5.9 but would like to keep it around 4.8. Your videos inspired me to check after eating. The formula is super helpful. Thank you!
That's great to hear!
Thank you for your help. God bless you ❤
Thanks for empowering me to have better health! Glory be to God! Also, just subscribed to your other channel! I can’t wait to study with you and “Ben”! God bless y’all!
Hi Dennis. Something that I found out is that some foods might trigger higher than expected glucose on different people. For instance, I thought cucumbers were such a low carb vegetable but it makes my morning glucose raise to above 100. Another is the HFCS where a very miniscule amount would also trigger a glucose above 100 the next morning. So the safest is to always suspect everything you eat until your meter approves it.
HFCH what is please?
Stop worrying about the spikes 90 percent of what we eat spike our blood sugar. That's what the body does it's not stupid, it's smarter than any doctor. The doctor gave meds, it's just a bandaid it doesn't cure the problem, if it did we wouldn't have to be on the meds for a lifetime. Eat in moderation.
Great story about your diabetes education. You can explain things so well.
Thank you for all the info you give us.Thank you for doing this challenge for us.
I often meet people in groceries stores who look puzzled as they read ingredients on items, and I often will speak to them, and mention that I'm diabetic. I often get " Me. too " as a response. I always ask how often they test their blood. Last night a woman said three times a week. I shook my head, and she said, " Is that too often ?" So, I gave her a quick lesson on how to use her meter to find the right foods for her to eat, and we discussed carbs, and grains. She looked brighter, though still a bit bemused by our short conversation, so I hope I helped her some. She doesn't own a computer so I couldn't direct her to your channel.
I am in a difficult situation. I am totally blind and in Australia the continious metres are not funded unless you are on insulin. I am newly diagnosed with diabeties. I have only learned now how to do the finger prick but I don’t always get it right, as it is hard to tell if the blood sample is right. My machine will talk and tell me my reading, but the is no easy way to get the blood on that tiny strip. The other issue is that I rely on touch for everything. so if I checked my glucose 3 times a day that could potentially mean that I am pricking my finger 6 times or more. This possibly could dammage the sensativity. So I am limitted in how many times I can check my sugar. My a1c is coming down though, so praise God, I must be doing something right.
Carnivore Monday was interesting, started my morning at 111 and ended my day at 89! According to your formula, I'm currently at 5.09 which is a HUGE drop from my last A1C at the Dr's of 8.4
Wow!
I don't stick myself anymore. Low carbs/more protein. I was mostly vegetarian eating
You're absolutely right, checking glucose in the morning will tell how one is improving over time. Over time, it's not immediately.
I found Orowheat Keto seeded bread at Walmart. It does not spike my blood sugar - and it tastes like regular bread. They sell seeded and non-seeded, but the seeded version tastes better in my opinion. I posted about this because every other keto bread I’ve tried either had a funny taste or it really spiked my blood sugar. This seems to have hit the target for taste and sugar control. It is $5.99 a loaf - but it’s worth it to me to be able to eat bread again.
If it has any ingredient that shows wheat, it’s going to spike my blood sugar. My holistic doc told me a few years ago any bread, no matter which kind, will diminish your progression on losing weight . And in the end, it will effect blood sugar.
I appreciate hearing what is being said and proclaimed here on this YT channel, and someday hope to see my glucose levels descend to healthy levels, however after all the progress I've realized in putting myself on the road to REVERSAL, my baseline avg glucose levels are still around 185. With the Dawn Phenomenon greeting me each morning with those ridiculous spikes, I have to fight all day long (using Insulin) to bring my levels down to 145, as that is where they bottom out and then start to rise again in the late afternoon and early evening. It's EXASPERATING. I've been on a LCHF eating lifestyle for several years now after I saw a baseline avg of around 260. I get 30 mins of exercise in everyday, and I use some time-restrictive eating as well. Low or HYPOglycemic episodes I could count on one hand in over 15 years of being a T2Diabetic. Seems like a problem I'd like to have.
This is the best info and educational video I've ever seen or heard of. Now I can get better. Thank you so much, GOD BLESS YOU
Awesome!
Thank you for your videos.
All brillient Dennis if I can call you that. People are waking up and healing themselve.
God bless and protect you.❤
Thanks for the life saving info.
Thank you Dennis in helping me with an A1C of 11.5 April 2023/September 6.2
Wonderful! Well done.
God Bless u! This was great❤🙏🙏🙏
That was very informative.
Now I know how to get an estimated A1C. Thank you.
Me too. So grateful for the A1C formula.
👍👍👍👍👍 You are amazing Brother!
Thought I was a little overboard with my CGM, Libre Sensor monitoring - yes keeping my trap shut and measuring on almost every opporrunity. The phone app is a big game changer.
Measuring - @ waking up, b4 meals & every half-hourly after for 2 to 3 hrs and before bed.
Before that, I tried other options and never need any monitoring:
1. Retinopathy, 2. Neuropathy, 3. Proteinuria, 4. Heart-by-pass... and annoyances like: loss of balance, ringing in the ears, ... all b/c of how mis-led our medical system is. Knowning it's possible to reverse diabetes and tested that Intermittent Fasting works. I am keeping my reading most day btw 4.5 - 6.5 and up to 7 or sometimes 8 w/o medication. Yes, it has to do with restricting Carb intake.
Start by reducing amt of carb every meal. After tt, slowly reduce the number of meals from 3 to 2 to your goal. Take you time but don't give up.
HTH.
Loved this episode! Thanks much...I'm a basic numbers guy so this was right up my alley.
God bless and be well!
I had a CGM for 2 weeks!!
That tells a real story also.
No guess work! I learned alot, like I have the dawn effect in morning, then it drops to normal after couple hours..
2 pizza with small cake went into 230, nacho’s in 200’s
Enough experimenting for me. Funny thing my husband had the pizza cake meal, and his blood sugar only rose to 115( non diabetic)
Soo I was glad when the 14 days were ended..
( Mary Kay O)
Well, that was an education for you!
I never reached full diabetes but ate unhealthy carbs and processed sugars so it was only a matter of time. I ran into some big time keto masters on youtube such as Eckberg which I believed and took on low carbs, low sugar, and intermittent fasting of 14-20 hours. In just under a year i went from wearing 38 inch jeans to 30 inches, completely stopped snoring and able to sleep uninterrupted, and able to get over colds in one to two days as opposed to a week or so like i used to. Had a physical done a couple weeks ago and blood pressure was 110 over 71.
Best thing is I am never hungry or low on energy. Once your body is fat adapted, meaning no reliance on carbs and sugar for energy you lose all your cravings to eat every few hours. I have gone over 60 hours without feeling any weakness or side affects. It is life changing and not some diet that you are waiting to get off of and back to normal.
I went from a non-fasting A1C of 8.6 down to a non-fasting A1C of 6.2 in five months by lowering carbs, cutting out processed foods, and IF with no meds. Why non-fasting A1C? I think the doctors wanted to get a higher number to get me to take meds. I had to stop the IF for a while because I was starting to get a little dizzy when I woke up in the morning. I appreciate the encouragement from this channel and note that the recommendations are in line with other RUclips channels I trust. I make a longevity chili that contains, among other things, mushrooms, celery, parsley flakes, broccoli, bone broth, olive oil, and meat cooked in avocado oil. I add enough spices to the chili to restore the myrosinase to the broccoli. I also add some MCT oil to coffee or tea once per day. Plus, a cup or two of hot cocoa per day in milk and a milk thistle supplement to help in case of lead on the cocoa.
I'm excited to try this test.! Thank you very much!
Hi
Love your videos,I am from Malaysia
tqvm n praise the Lord
Just found your channel. Going to watch more later. Just found out I'm type 2 A1c was 7.2 I'm 53 and never thought I'd end up with it. I'm the only one in my family that has got it. This truly is alot to learn and so many different opinions. I'm so confused. I asked my doc if i should use a meter but she said not now. I take 2 metformin at breakfast. I cut out all bread and sugar. But dang this is a major lifestyle change.
You found the ideal place to begin! Dennis has selected several videos for the newly diagnosed to get oriented and starting to shift your way of eating. I was prediabetic at 5.7 and I immediately got a glucose meter like Dennis suggests. Freestyle Lite. That’s the only way you can learn how YOUR body reacts to specific foods, intermittent fasting, etc. Also, seeing your numbers go down when you stick to low carb (go up when you screw up, which we all do) is powerful motivation.

You absolutely can beat diabetes one meal, one day at a time. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Be patient with yourself, and persistent. Go binge watch Dennis’s many testimonial videos. They’re amazing!
Get a new doctor .Her advice is poor.Also get your own meter and strips.They are essential in winning the war against diabetes!
@darlenepaul2918 ty for your advice. Buy I am keeping her as I like her. She knows my other issues that's why she said wait alittle. So I don't worry myself to death with all the number's. I have bad anxiety and depression before being diagnosed this new condition and as others I talked to said same thing. Try the walking and cut breads and sugar and see if I can get lower myself first. Since it is my first high A1c. I am going threw so much right now and this isn't helping. I'm technically homeless and trying to get disability and living on snap assistance isn't easy either. I'm trying my best to stay positive but idk how much more I can take till I just say the heck with it. But I DO appreciate the helpful opinions. I'm the black sheep of the family so I'm outta luck. Again, thanks!
Some states will give you double SNAP benefits for buying produce, so stick to greens. Skip roce, beans, bread, and potatoes. Good luck to you!
First, I want to thank you for your ministry for the Lord! So appreciate you! I was told I'm prediabetic since 2016. Now 63. My A1c hovers between 5.8 and 6.0. Trying to learn how my body reacts to sugar and carbs so I bought a glucose monitor. But wanting to fine tune the ups and downs of my gloucose level and asked my doctor if I could have a CGM-Continuous Glucose Monitor. Unfortunately, I was denied because I'm not a diabetic yet. It's too bad I have to become a full on diabetic before I could get a CGM. I would think the medical professionals would want to encourage preventitive medicine rather than reactive medicine. So wish I could get a CGM, but they are too expensive without insurance help.
I too tried to get a CGM and was denied, because I was not on insulin. I started at about 6.1 and following Den and Ben's advice, along with Doctors Berry, Berg, Fung and others got it down to about 5.3. I have not had an A1C done in about a year, so guess I need to make a followup soon or maybe try Dennis' EGA/A1C daily avg method, since my MIKE is showing some elevated #'s lately. I wish you the best in your health journey.
@@sandym.6389 Thank you so much, Sandy. Congratulations on going from 6.1 to 5.3. You aren't even a pre-diabetic anymore! You have worked very hard at it. 👏👍 I, too, follow all those same channels you mentioned above. I tried limiting my carbs but guess I have to tighten up my diet even more. If I were to ask you the top 3 things you’ve changed in your diet and life style in order to drop to 5.3, what would you say they are? I think I need to learn from your specific examples.
@@eunicebrothers1950I’m in a similar spot. My last two A1C’s were 5.9 about 9 months apart. I was surprised because I’ve been diligent about staying low carb. I decided to pay for the CGM myself and am freaking out that my numbers stay around 120! Too high! So I’m trying carnivore now. Been doing that for 5days so far. I’m 78 so I guess my body might take longer to heal but I’m determined to get my A1C to the low 5’s. I want to stay healthy!
9/29/23 Good evening Pastor Dennis: Is there a way I may obtain the recipe for the pizza including the making of the crust? Also, it would be nice to also be able to make the "ice cream." Thank you
Whoa!! This is such wonderful information. Bless you and 🙏🏻 thank you.
I cannot afford a CGM. I will be buying a meter. There are so many from which to choose I don't know where to begin. I want one that hurts the least when testing."Can you sugggest one? Thank you for all your great videos. 🙂
❤ Dennis challenge to beat this!
Thanks Dennis your channel really helps us diabetic ! God bless u more!
I just got out the hospital for my 2nd heart attack. My A1C was 11.2.
I'm now taking 25 units of insulin per day. I've cut out sugar from my diet. I still have to learn about carbs.
I was approved for Medicaid today. For years I couldn't get it despite having ZERO income. Still can't get disability nor SSI. Was denied for both.
So, when I starve to death, at least my blood sugar level will be normal.
God bless you!
Good morning Denis

Dennis thank you for another great video! I didn't know about this A1c formula. What a fantastic tool! Also, I love the tshirt you are wearing.
Me, too about the T-shirt! He kids about his scrawny arms, etc but I think Dennis looks younger,healthier and more ‘buff’ when he wears them.
😊
@@clicquot2271 I totally agree with you! :)
👍 There is always good information on this channel .
I appreciate that!
Thank you Dennis for this information…. May God bless you exponential
Thank you!
Thank you Dennis for the truth you give us ~
I found an A1C chart online. According to their info, a normal A1C ranges from 5.7 - 6.3 test readings of mg/dl on the glucose meter from 126 - 147. When I was first diagnosed T2D 20 months ago, my A1C was just at 7.1. This past July was 6.5. Doc said i was doing good cuz it was less than 7.0. Estimated mg/dL was 140. All charts I've seen lists that an A1C of 6.1 not 6.5🤔🤷
Thanks Dennis. Another great informative video.

Many people have what is termed “The Dawn Effect”which is a high glucose upon waking, regardless of diet.
Nice
I have done keto and low carb and my A1c did go down alot however I started having other issues like kidney failure and my heart was being attacked... I switched to a all fruit diet and I am now diabetes free... right now I'm doing a kidney flush an i will follow that with a kidney restore... I believe that that all these diets work but it all depend on you and what exactly is your problem... meaning what caused your diabetes 🤔
I found your channel and I keep coming back to it when I find myself straying from my diet. I finally got my Doctor to prescribe me a glucose monitor. I have used it and now I know how to pinpoint which foods will make my blood sugar rise! I am now 63 years old and I am taking this seriously! And what you say is true and it works for me when I started using the glucose meter. Sometimes when I am attending a social event, I would taste one bite of cake or sweetened dessert and I immediately test my blood glucose after reaching home and for sure my sugar reading rises , so I really know now that even a small bite or sip of anything sweet or starchy makes me blood sugar fluctuate! Thank you so much for your videos that you posted when you tested your sugar after each meal. I can review those videos but after 3 months of testing the same food on myself, I proved that your videos were correct. Thank you! I eat fresh green salads, eggs, meats, fish or sardines, a few fruit and berries in moderation and seeds and nuts and some cheese during the week. I keep it simple for now until I reach my ideal weight. I do not experience hunger pangs although I only eat twice a day now.
I have been listen to your you tube videos for a long time now. Please how can I get your book : how to lower your blood sugar
