I've watched hundreds of diabetic videos from "so called experts" but you Sir are the best. You back up your info with actual self tested data. Thank you Thank you......
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the educational, personal experience videos you share. I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 1968 when I was 15 months old. Today I have had T1 for over 57 years, and I am healthier than I have ever been. I have been on the internet since the internet began... And I have never appreciated the T1 advice being given to the public until I found your videos. So thank you again for what you do.
@@TypeOneTalks I appreciate the way you can take medical terminology and nutritional information and translate it in to layman's terms for those who are just learning. I've been doing this since there was nothing more than a diet-by-sliding scale. And for years now I have been counting carbs - but I never understood the glycemic index until I watched your videos. That says a lot for your ability to make context easy for EVERYONE to understand. ❤ When you show your own personal experience BG grafts = Fabulous. Simply, you make everything from Insulin Pumps, CGMs or Vegetables easy to understand.
I want to add in something. I think food's corellation with blood sugar is quite subjective to each individual. I and my friend have type 2 diabetes. Our condition is quite similar. Normal blood sugar is around 100 - 130. Fasting blood glucose is 110-120. We once tried eating the same food with same condition. With empty stomach in the morning, we both ate 2 bananas at the same time. In 1 hour, mine spike 50 points while his is only 20 points. On the next day, we try sweet potato. Empty stomach. Mine spiked only 25 points, while his soared 70 points. Each body is different. That's why CGM is highly recommended so we can find out how our body reacts to certain food without relying solely on general medical advice. Without CGM, I woud never dare eat sweet potato. After knowing it "only" spikes me a little, I have begin to add it moderately into my diet
Becareful of grapefruit even though he put it in the green bowl. Many prescription medications warn not to take it with grapefruit juice. It ties up the liver enzymes causing the meds dosage to become unpredictable.
I make popsicles with grapefruit… and I make 6 popsicles with one diluted grapefruit… so I only get a small portion of grapefruit.. thank you.. this helps me so much to know what fruit and vegetables to eat..
I am sick and tired of does and don’t, I’m diabetic, I eat everything with moderation and a cup of cinnamon tea every afternoon and I’m good to go; from Guyana 🇬🇾
Yeah but it isn't it nice that when you hearth starts beating in your ears, your body starts aching and feels weak like it's fighting the flu, sounds start to reverb and echo and you are starting to feel kinda drunk, you can go to a convenience store and buy a slice of watermelon to chomp on a bench and a peach/apple while you walk home instead of eating 2 mars bars out of hypoglycemic (OMG my body is collapsing) desperation.
He's not telling you what you can't eat. He is showing you examples of what spikes his sugar as a diabetic stage 1. He understands everyone is different and what doesn't spike your sugar spikes someone else's. Moderation doesn't work for everyone, therefore the content he is providing gives us a better understanding of trigger foods that might spike our sugar. These examples are extremely helpful to all looking to control their sugar spikes or looking to prevent diabetes due to a family history. I and many others appreciate his content.
Sure, you're not a doctor BUT you provide genuine information that actually makes a difference. Doctors can help the sick but they need people to develop health issues so that they can stay in business. You, on the other hand, want people to become well without charging anyone. Doctors will hate you for telling people how to become well because you are literally decreasing the number of their patients.
Exactly they never tell the patients instead they are happy when you are suffering infront of them especially those in the first world they never tell you they keep quite.
Dietitian here. Bananas are a tricky food, because when they are greenish they are low on the glycemic index and rich in resistant starch and prebiotic fiber, which help slow down the absorption of the sugar. But the more ripe they become, the higher the glycemic index. Also if you balance fruit or any carbohydrate with protein and/or fat helps with blood sugar regulation.
diabetics should not be eating bananas. not just because they are high in sugar, but because diabetics already have high potassium levels, and the additional amount could harm their heart and kidneys.
i just want to say Thank you!!!! i am recently diagnosed as type one was misdiagnosed as type 2. The new info you have provided in many of your videos have helped me in so many ways!!
You made everything so much easier to understand about what to eat and why. I copied your bowl to help me. I appreciate you doing all the work. I’m sure this will help me tremendously as I was always eating stuff in the red bowls. Thank you very much
Thank you Doctor, I was never a diabetic, I am from Trinidad and Tobago, I am 78 years, now I am loosing my muscles, I would appreciate the video with aerobic exercise for the elderly. Thank you. Blessings.
You might want to look at “Bob & Brad”a health and exercise therapist channel with us older folk in mind. I don’t think that aerobic exercise is what you need now, training with light weights or bands will help to recover your muscle. Im 68 so know how you feel!
Yesterday i made a stew whit minced lambmeat, 1 zucchini, 1 red bell pepper, 1 small red onion, 2 spoons of pesto arrabica, 1 dl turkish yoghurt and topped whit gradet cheese. Its a lot of fat, protein, a small amount of carbes and i use it for lunch for 3-4 days
I was diagnosed with Type 2 just 4 weeks ago, Your videos are really helping me with what i should be eating and what to stay away from. Thank you, you are making a huge difference to people!
Have you heard of the Newcastle twin cycle hypothesis by Professors Roy Taylor in the UK? He got T2DM patients to lose a good amount of weight to remove fat off the liver. Even observed beta cells returning back to life. You simply have to make sure you never gain the weight back.
That's a great idea! I've been on a low-carb diet and have a tendency to stay away from any carbs. However, I'm afraid I am craving them more so I feel if I eat just a few more I'll satisfy that craving. Eating fruits with another food like peanut butter will help slow down the sugar intake spike and hopefully will satisfy my craving for carbs. Thanks!
Good Video I have been controlling my type 2 with date for 10 years BUT it is getting out of control and with your video I have identified what I have been doing and what I will change. Thank you. I like your personal testing process. Blessings Keep up the good work.
It was a long video but I loved it how you present all vegies and fruits. Now I understand much better list of good and bad food my doctor gave. Thank you for sharing
Hi,I find your program very interesting.I am a diabetic for 36 years. I took tablets for 1 month.I use the vegetable caraille or bitter gourd or bitter lemon. You can take it raw or boil it or stir fry with other vegetables.
Hi Tom 🤩 I have watched a few of your videos and I'm so impressed!!! The level of detail here is unmatched plus you have such a great personality. Thank you so much for all that you do here on YouTUBE. I'm not even diabetic or pre-diabetic but I think it's good to be informed and make the nest decisions once can for their future health and well-being .
Hello typeonetalks, thank you very much for this video. This video is very helpful with a lot of useful information. I have some questions for you. Please is beetroot good for diabetes? What is the GI of beetroot? Would you put beetroot in the green, yellow or red bucket? Thanks.
Unbelievable, eat this for cholesterol, dont eat this for Diabetic, eat that for overall health but don't eat if you have diabetes. Its all so damn confusing.
For every ailment, we are being told not to eat certain things. There are also problems with cholesterol and high blood pressure. We are told not to eat something for one of these problems and to eat the same thing for the other. This is very confusing for the person with all three problems. There are only discussions for one type of cuisine which is the North American cuisine. I eat so many foods that are not listed here. What should people really eat? There are too many conflicting instructions to follow.
What about lemons + limes? I assume they're green bucket worthy. Right? Tell us about beets , summer squash, parsnips, turnips, olives, artichokes, mushrooms + green cantalopes please.
Thank you for making this diabetic mess a little easier to navigate! You have been the easiest diabetic video to understand, that I have watched yet. Plus I'm a huge fan of graphs! 😊
Wow, your videos are full of amazing detailed information. After my recent blood test I've been told I'm have pre-diabetes. This is all new to me, and confused about Carbs. I'm a runner and also keep myself toned (muscles). If you reduce carbs isn't that bad for muscles. How do you maintain a low carb diet which is good for muscle growth. Thanks.
50+ years of T1D experience here, and I confirm your video by my own conclusions. Regarding spinach: eating calcium-rich foods like cheese along with high-oxalate foods such as spinach can help reduce the risk of kidney stones. Calcium binds with oxalate in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream and then excreted through the kidneys where it can form stones. I love spinach, but a good diet should always be varied.
This was very informative Tom! Thank you. According to my blood tests my diet and lifestyle efforts at managing my blood glucose means that I am no longer prediabetic according to the Dr but there is no doubt I am still insulin resistant and I really have to watch what I eat or I get big spikes. I have learned many tricks thanks to your videos but sometimes I am still surprised- like by cooked tomatoes. For me also canned black beans and kidney beans but not chickpeas. So thanks again for your informative vlog.
This video is incredibly informative for anyone managing diabetes! It’s eye-opening to see that not all vegetables and fruits are as “healthy” as we might think. Learning about the difference in glycemic indexes and how to make smarter choices really helps. I was especially surprised by the tips on how to enjoy starchy veggies without causing a blood sugar spike. The comparison of sweet fruits was also a great addition, especially for those of us who crave a bit of sweetness. Thanks for sharing these practical insights and helping us make better food decisions! 🍎🥦
I was diagnosed T2 two years ago. Prior to that, I was a very keen foodie and chef. I'm 60 and genuinely weighing up whether I should go back to cooking and eating delicious food, or live a potentially slightly longer life by eating the grim assemblage that is a diabetic diet
Great video! But when showing graphs, it would be so cool if you could include mml as well, since for many people those high numbers don't say anything. Thanks!
Hi, Tom - I love your colored bowl videos - always so informative and easy to remember. Another great one. Thanks so much! I, too, missed the ciao. It's like serving cake without the icing - it feels like something's missing. Please don't let that happen again. Your public needs the ciaos LOL. 🥰
You are very pleasant to listen to. Often people have annoying interruptions, too much personal info, are too snarky, or go on and on with irrelevancies. You get to the point, stick to the message, and have a soft voice that doesn't hurt to listen to for a long time. You are also logical and not as subjective as other people.
Im very fond of cucumbers and tzatziki is a favourite dish, I add garlic to mine though as I learned the recipe in Greece long ago. Many thanks for this in depth analysis I am subscribed.
I've been grating cauliflower (when on sale) and freezing flat, to take the place of half the portion of white rice. - if the cauli is steamed or water-sauteed down, it loses a lot of the 'cabbagey' taste _____ also been using a walnut-mushroom vegan "meat alternative" recipe (reduce the salt/soy in all recipes) then separately: I'll sautee down small/finely chopped eggplant in equal portion to the walnut-mushroom quantity; it's satisfying.filling and doesn't ratchet up numbers I've served that over/ mixed in with buckwheat, also lower carb.
Very informative and well rounded video…thank you! I was so excited that you included fruits too. Fruits are my favorite foods, but I have to be careful because I am pre diabetic and insulin is not an option. A small kiwi will spike me 75 points, so I usually stick to berries, avocado, apples and small amounts of pineapple. I am very excited to try plums, apricots, and peaches to see if I can handle them. I will sprinkle flaxseed or other fiber to help reduce the spike. I really appreciate you going into depth with the veggies and how different ways to cook them help lower the spike and that raw veggies are better too. This is honestly one of the BEST diabetes friendly videos I have seen!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm a type1 and have gastroparesis this effects my food digestion greatly. Im now on a low keto diet as i dont digest carb food very well at all and spike extremely high or i may not register some foods like pasta?? Its a challenge but im slowly figuring it all out😊😊
There's an evolutionary reason bright fruits generally have a high sugar content. First of all, fruits evolved to taste good because when they are dispersed they don't have to compete for resources with other seeds. So the sweeter fruits were eaten by animals which dispersed the seeds. The sweeter the fruit, the more they were eaten and the more they were dispersed. Then, when a fruit is brighter it gets noticed by animals more and gets eaten more and dispersed more. So the brighter fruits became sweeter.
Ya iam diagnosed type 1.5 type. Can any one has this problem because I am suffering alone even taking the treatment of insulin but no change of good management of my sugure. I think sugure is different from one another .
I read that taking apple cider before taking sugar product it reduces the spike wiith up to 30 % can you test that i'm curious how much difference that makes
I discovered this bread a few months ago and want to share it, I am not sure if it is available everywhere though. It's Sara Lee Delightful White Made With Whole Grain, serving size 2 slices, carbs per serving 18g, fiber 6g, sugar 2g and total fat 1g.
I am 78 and type 2 diabetic. We need to check blood sugar regularly because everyone is different. Low carbs work best for me. I do have the dawn effect and i have to deal with this. My legs are paralyzed so i don't get much exercise. I believe that my Agent Orange exposure may have something to do with my diabetes????
Tom, an excellent video - as usual! Appreciate all of your good work and care. However, unless I missed it, I can't believe you said nothing about wonderful brussel sprouts!
I really enjoyed this video. I love your accent . This video was very educational. I have a question and I would be so greatful if you answer. You talk about GI. What is it and how do you find out how much a food item has. Also, how do you find out your "sweet spot"?
I so look forward to your videos, and appreciate all of the care and work that you put into them. I fall in the prediabetic range, and have been successfully lowering my way out of that -- your channel is my very favorite for no-nonsense, great tips, with no hype. You're the best! My favorite bsf veggie? For all around, raw or cooked: Cabbage. To snack on: cucumbers. Fave fruit: Avocado! yum!
what about spaghetti squash and beets I'm new at having diabetes so I find all this information very helpful I wish I had the money to join but right now I just don't
Another amazing video, quite objective and scientific. How does eating multiple foods affect the combined GI? Obviously if you eat foodA (10carbs) and foodB (5 carbs) you have eating 15 carbs. But does GI stack up like this too? I assume rather than adding them up it's just the highest? So foodA (10GI) and foodB (5GI) you've had max 10GI with foodA?
Thank you for all the work you put into this. I think we should take what we need and maybe move on if it's not helpful to the individual. I needed this reminder.
In a prior video you talked about how by going mostly plant-based you were able to increase your insulin sensitivity. Are you still following a mostly plant-based diet?
Sir, thanks so much for the good and insightful explanation. However, you didn't mention the use of lime and lemon we add on some of our daily food. How do they help diabetic sufferers.
If these foods are cooked or raw, makes a difference, myself I'd prefer cooked, ditto, milk if I'm having it, I want it warm. Does that change the food value of all foods. I've learned a lot today, thankyou
I think we are all individuals and uniquely built. That's why we all need to do our own work instead of overgeneralizing principles that work for someone else.
Nice of you to do all that research and I have learned a lot from it but ... all the roots, besides maybe the sweetcorn, should not be in the vegetable category. They are starch tubers, you eat them in place of wheat, rice, maize, barley, quinoa, tef, amaranth, casava and yams. Not in addition to. Do you have a starch source in your meals ? And could we get like some recipes maybe ?

indeed
Can also eat them whole
And take cider apple vinegar 30 mins before you eat - it lowers blood sugar spikes
Pro tip- slice and freeze bananas when just slightly green-Lower on the GI and freezing them creates more resistant starch
diabetics should not be eating bananas. not just because they are high in sugar, but because diabetics already have high potassium levels, and the additional amount could harm their heart and kidneys.
I am very impressed by your presentation, especially the red, yellow and red summary.

Wow wow wow what fabulous information!So glad I found your channel!Fantastic job!!!
All your explanation about vegetables and fruits are good I will like to be following it thanks.
Thank you Tom for the experiment real helps out on the right direction to avoid blood glucose spikes....I'm now a big fan
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.
I'm a T2 diabetic almost 88 y/o and I eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables and I have no problem!
Exactly
And he never said you can't eat vegetables or fruits maybe you are 88 and you're senile and can't hear or something
How much insulin do you take?
@@MichaelTheophilus906 30 to 50 units a day!
You are very pleasant to listen to. Often people have annoying interruptions, too much personal info, are too snarky, or go on and on with irrelevancies. You get to the point, stick to the message, and have a soft voice that doesn't hurt to listen to for a long time. You are also logical and not as subjective as other people.
This disorder is making me gradually becoming knowledgeable when it comes to diabetes. I think there should be course on this disorder for everyone.
Im very fond of cucumbers and tzatziki is a favourite dish, I add garlic to mine though as I learned the recipe in Greece long ago. Many thanks for this in depth analysis I am subscribed.
Thanks for all your hard work with this research....it's been extremely enlightening
I've been grating cauliflower (when on sale) and freezing flat, to take the place of half the portion of white rice.
- if the cauli is steamed or water-sauteed down, it loses a lot of the 'cabbagey' taste
_____
also been using a walnut-mushroom vegan "meat alternative" recipe (reduce the salt/soy in all recipes)
then separately: I'll sautee down small/finely chopped eggplant in equal portion to the walnut-mushroom quantity; it's satisfying.filling and doesn't ratchet up numbers
I've served that over/ mixed in with buckwheat, also lower carb.
Very informative and well rounded video…thank you! I was so excited that you included fruits too. Fruits are my favorite foods, but I have to be careful because I am pre diabetic and insulin is not an option. A small kiwi will spike me 75 points, so I usually stick to berries, avocado, apples and small amounts of pineapple. I am very excited to try plums, apricots, and peaches to see if I can handle them. I will sprinkle flaxseed or other fiber to help reduce the spike. I really appreciate you going into depth with the veggies and how different ways to cook them help lower the spike and that raw veggies are better too. This is honestly one of the BEST diabetes friendly videos I have seen!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the list. Any idea about Papaya since it is good for digestion.
Just listened to a dr, o think that said so many other factor co tribute to spikes, from being sick, a wound, stressed, etc etc, was very good.
Glad you mentioned the grapefruit drug interaction issue!
Thank you for the two vedios about food how to live with diabetes. Very educational ❤ god blessings tobyou for sharing.
Wonderful information, so educative thanks, now I understand what to eat what not to.
Excellent presentation but what about a comparable one on food and bread ? Thanks alot
Thank you for all the details you included is very. Beneficial ❤
We don't have Carisma potato in the US. It sounds close to Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes but definitely a different variety.
I'm a type1 and have gastroparesis this effects my food digestion greatly. Im now on a low keto diet as i dont digest carb food very well at all and spike extremely high or i may not register some foods like pasta?? Its a challenge but im slowly figuring it all out😊😊
There's an evolutionary reason bright fruits generally have a high sugar content. First of all, fruits evolved to taste good because when they are dispersed they don't have to compete for resources with other seeds. So the sweeter fruits were eaten by animals which dispersed the seeds. The sweeter the fruit, the more they were eaten and the more they were dispersed.
Then, when a fruit is brighter it gets noticed by animals more and gets eaten more and dispersed more. So the brighter fruits became sweeter.
Agriculture people have made a lot of fruits sweeter by hybrid.
The japanese pumpkin, you should try, is very good for diabetes.
I am loving your talk ,but the vegetables that are good for me as a type one is so expansive in my country ,of Jamaica.
❤❤❤ WOW.WHAT A BLESSINGS 🙌 OF INFORMATION. THX
I've been a type 1 Diabetic for 52 years and if I take the advice of everyone on RUclips I actually can't eat anything at all . 😮
Except grass lol
So. True
Ya iam diagnosed type 1.5 type. Can any one has this problem because I am suffering alone even taking the treatment of insulin but no change of good management of my sugure. I think sugure is different from one another .
10:53 can I meet you please on this email address to give me your experience
😂
All ok I feel better you said don't eliminate them just eat them in moderation. I feel better now, 👏👏👏.
If you go by your meter you will know if the effect of the food is good for you.
I read that taking apple cider before taking sugar product it reduces the spike wiith up to 30 % can you test that i'm curious how much difference that makes
This is very important to me. A good lesson to learn.
Greetings,
As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲
Where is papaya?
Keep producing more videos
You are very good Tom ! Very helpful
Enjoy learning from your video 👍
I discovered this bread a few months ago and want to share it, I am not sure if it is available everywhere though. It's Sara Lee Delightful White Made With Whole Grain, serving size 2 slices, carbs per serving 18g, fiber 6g, sugar 2g and total fat 1g.
I love Sara Lee whole wheat bread; I use it on chicken salad sandwiches; Yummy!
I am 78 and type 2 diabetic. We need to check blood sugar regularly because everyone is different. Low carbs work best for me. I do have the dawn effect and i have to deal with this. My legs are paralyzed so i don't get much exercise. I believe that my Agent Orange exposure may have something to do with my diabetes????
Tom, an excellent video - as usual! Appreciate all of your good work and care. However, unless I missed it, I can't believe you said nothing about wonderful brussel sprouts!
I know. I only included 20 most popular from each category and I believe brussel sprouts were not in top 20z
Thanks for the effory
I really enjoyed this video. I love your accent . This video was very educational. I have a question and I would be so greatful if you answer. You talk about GI. What is it and how do you find out how much a food item has.
Also, how do you find out your "sweet spot"?
Thank you very much for this video and the amazing information… really thinking
I so look forward to your videos, and appreciate all of the care and work that you put into them. I fall in the prediabetic range, and have been successfully lowering my way out of that -- your channel is my very favorite for no-nonsense, great tips, with no hype. You're the best!
My favorite bsf veggie? For all around, raw or cooked: Cabbage. To snack on: cucumbers. Fave fruit: Avocado! yum!
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
what about spaghetti squash and beets I'm new at having diabetes so I find all this information very helpful I wish I had the money to join but right now I just don't
I’ve never met one diabetic who just couldn’t put down the veggies. I’ve met many that can’t put down the fast food.
Another amazing video, quite objective and scientific. How does eating multiple foods affect the combined GI? Obviously if you eat foodA (10carbs) and foodB (5 carbs) you have eating 15 carbs. But does GI stack up like this too? I assume rather than adding them up it's just the highest? So foodA (10GI) and foodB (5GI) you've had max 10GI with foodA?
Truly Great Video
Thank you for all the work you put into this. I think we should take what we need and maybe move on if it's not helpful to the individual. I needed this reminder.
Arugala ! Brussel Sprouts, Dandelion leaves.
Seaweed maybe?
What a great video is it possible for you to do one for fruits?
If you watch the second half of this video fruit is also covered:)
Glad I prefer the taste of fresh fruit over dried fruit
Very useful video, thanks
Thank you very helpful
In a prior video you talked about how by going mostly plant-based you were able to increase your insulin sensitivity. Are you still following a mostly plant-based diet?
Sir, thanks so much for the good and insightful explanation. However, you didn't mention the use of lime and lemon we add on some of our daily food. How do they help diabetic sufferers.
If these foods are cooked or raw, makes a difference, myself I'd prefer cooked, ditto, milk if I'm having it, I want it warm. Does that change the food value of all foods. I've learned a lot today, thankyou
What's you opinion on star fruit?
I don't trust the ADA. I've been doing mostly a carnivore diet and my sugars are excellent. i try to do a max daily carb of 20 or 30. great video!
I think we are all individuals and uniquely built. That's why we all need to do our own work instead of overgeneralizing principles that work for someone else.
All our bodies function in a similiar way. I can verify all of Toms findings, regarding blood sugar impact.
I agree. We’re all different. What works for me might not work for everyone but the general principles apply in my opinion.
@@TypeOneTalks I agree my wife is also diabetic and she eats bread and white potatoes and her blood sugar goes up but mine would spike real high.
What about red potatoes are they good for type 1or2 blood sugar? Thanks for your input on this question.
Nice of you to do all that research and I have learned a lot from it but ... all the roots, besides maybe the sweetcorn, should not be in the vegetable category. They are starch tubers, you eat them in place of wheat, rice, maize, barley, quinoa, tef, amaranth, casava and yams. Not in addition to. Do you have a starch source in your meals ? And could we get like some recipes maybe ?
Great information, thank you!
You’re welcome my friend!
I just wanted to ask about papaye, if it is good for the diabetic patients
