Dr. Bernstein saved my life. A type one diabetic with a HbA1c of 4.5 to 4.8 since I read his book. My heart and kidneys free of complications even reversed some from my bad years. The gift of life
I read Dr Bernstein's book many years ago, and it enabled me to manage my type 1 far better. He is the only person who really understands diabetes. I wrote to the magazine of Diabetes UK recommending the book. They didn't publish my letter, so I gave up my membership.
I’m not a medical professional, nor even a Type 1 diabetic, but I never miss an episode of Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetic University. I learn so much about physiology from him. The one and only.
He is truly a great man and a hero. I don't think someone like him will come along again for quite some time, so diabetics make note! Study and follow him; there is nowhere else to go.
I found your book & started following it 5/8/2018. After being a T1 LADA uncontrolled for 27 years. I have neuropathy, had retinopathy, and had a triple bypass & a fatal afib last year. But today I finally got my diabetes under control ((last A1c was 5.9). I am so great full to you and your book. Three years of no evidence of diabetes in my eyes, using 86% less insulin than 3 years ago, and lost 60 lbs. to boot. Thank you for your work!
That sounds great. I am also a Type 1 Lada, diagnosed in 2015. Until now I don't use any medication or insulin. My last A1c was about 5,9. But this is not really stable. At the moment everything is a bit confused again. My problem is especially my fasting blood sugar in the morning. Do you think, that Dr. Bernstein's advices in his book would be helpful for me? If you think so I will try it his way, though I already really tried a lot!!! Best regards from Germany 😊
Hi James, I was diagnosed with LADA 6 months ago. How long since you were diagnosed with LADA that you require meal time insulin ? I ordered the book from Amazon. Hope to have similar experience to get diabetes under control.
I have read Dr. B's book (Diabetes Solution), and have watch almost all of his 200 or so YT videos. When it comes to diabetes, he is the master and all others are students. Thank you sooo much Dr Bernstein for all you have done, and continue to do in helping diabetics learn how to manage diabetes and and avoid 'diabetes complications', using your solution.
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Bernstein. I'm not diabetic but I admin a Keto group and most of my members suffer from a condition called PMR, a result of glycation of connective tissues. I've spent so much time trying to explain the process to them, but you did it perfectly. I've just now shared this video with a PMR group that I also admin. You are saving people's lives, I thank you again.
I was a very bad T2DM 73yrs old ( Australia) my BGL 2019 was 18 (aust)...........now its about 5.5...you saved my life ............THANK YOU...........GOD BLESS YOU
Thank You Dr Bernstein for sharing your extensive knowledge with us mere mortals. I am not T2D only because I was able to nip it in the bud from listening to people like you, Paul Mason, Gary Fettke, William Davis, and many more brave individuals.
A treasure! So thankful that when I needed his wisdom, Dr. Bernstein was still teaching! Every diagnosed diabetic should be familiar with his wisdom and book. A legend! 🙏
I’m type 2 I was diagnosed in 2019 my primary never tools me I was prediabetic. I got my records I was prediabetic since 2011. My A1C was 12.2. I started watching everything I could on RUclips I started immediately implementing low carb my A1C has been 5.9 for quite awhile I’m working on lower. Also my cholesterol, tryglicerides, and stage 2 liver is now normal. I was eating the so called diabetic diet and never got my A1C below 6.9. The edible I had wanted to add more meds I refused he got mad. I now have a new Dr who I like but she’s got the mindset off the ADA I don’t tell her what I’m doing but she’s happy.
A half brother of mine is in his 80's and developed type 1 in his fifties. He does quite well and enjoys his life. He also believes in taking aspirin every day. Since he was a pharmacist maybe he's on to something, though I'd be afraid of bleeding problems. Also I bought a book about kidney problems and it says most people who need to go on dialysis are young people, as their disease progresses fast. If you're older it's more likely your doctor will recommend dialysis when he or she shouldn't be recommending it. And a suggestion: go to American Botanical Pharmacy. They have the best kidney stuff out there.
I had a diabetic friend who got a cortisone shot in her bad knee. For some reason, her doctor didn't think, "She is very diabetic, perhaps we shouldn't inject cortisone/steroids." Her blood sugar skyrocketed so bad, she ended up in the hospital for close to a week!
It happened to me to because of the mentioned frozen shoulder. My orthopedist said the locally injected cortisone would not really effect my bloodsugars.
Yes! That happened to me when I got a steroid shot in my shoulder! I didn’t end up in the hospital… but I couldn’t get my sugars down for weeks. My GP was furious that the orthopedic dr gave me that shot knowing I was diabetic! BTW the shot did nothing to alleviate my pain!
Type 1 of 40 years (not as long as Dr B) so ticking the itb, frozen shoulder and finger issues and stage 1 ckd plus loss of sight. Things are better with low carb and closed loop and I do prioritise protein over fat yet I can't get to normal bgs to slow down my internal caramelising.
The best tip is to switch insulin for exercise. Insulin is palliative care and puts you in a negative spiral, while exercise is curative and puts you in a positive spiral, making remission for type 1's possible.
@@sigalsmadar4547 In 2 more weeks I will have achieved remission, so yes, really! Who said exercise resurrects dead beta cells and what makes you think they are dead?
@@doubledutch3439 remission to type 1 diabetes? How so? Are you saying you have less beta cells or in the “honeymoon phase” and exercise is helping to prolong it? To the point where you don’t need insulin?
Interesting about the claw hand. About a year ago I was waking up every morning and I had to pry my right hand open. I had these nodules below my fingers. I had been doing a lot of painting so I figured it was just cramping up from that. I bought a arthritis glove. It was rather snug, covers only the bottom part of the fingers, it helped a lot. Soon afterwards I started eating more of a carnivore diet. Also change my diet from low carb to keto. No more claw hand and I only have nodules now below my ring fingers on both hands.
Dr Bernstein is a maverick and pioneer and his methodology is very helpful, though most people are going to modify what he suggestions to suit their own preferences. If you want to avoid or minimize long-term complications his may be a way to do just that. (I get to be Video Like #667 - haha.)
When I've had episodes of gastroparesis, I had low blood sugars that would not come back after eating sweets, like 2 or 3x the normal restorative "dose", then a few hours later my blood sugar was extremely high, much higher than "normal" highs. Yes, its is EXTEMELY unpredictable.
Interesting regarding shoulder issues. Since I became a LADA 6 years ago, I have had rotator cuff issues with both shoulders, resulting in surgeries. As a 50-year weight lifter, I now spend 10-15 minutes every per-workout, stretching and performing range of motion exercises.
I had frozen shoulder 3 different times. The time my husband massaged my shoulder every day with arnica cream, I got over it in a week. The other times took weeks.
I love how he understands and explains the why for so many things. But I wish he were more up to date on insulin pump usage and the rapid acting insulin (I'm half way thru...hoping for more up to date info in that area). I read his book, but by then I was already on pump and humalog. So much of the technical timing of food/insulin was not applicable to my situation. If your endo doesn't know who this man is, get another endo!
I have met several diabetics on the pump over the years and they all seemed crippled up and looked terrible. I don't think it's a great alternative, except if you're going to be very lax with your diabetes then it would be better than nothing.
There has to be a way to measure glucose in tissues not only in the blood. That would help deal and treat a great number of so called autoimmune diseases.
What does it mean if the Dawn Phenomenon stays until after I eat lunch? I go to bed at 80 and wake up at 100-105, stays 95-100 until I eat lunch. I fast until lunch. I measure extremely insulin resistant, but am not diabetic. 8.4 insulin and 5.4 a1c after 4 months of keto
I have similar results on keto and carnivore. To me it seems the fasting sugars are not the sugars that go into the cells. When I eat meat it triggers a rather rapid sugar decline. Even cruciferous vegetables do not trigger such a rapid drop.
BETA CELLS: Does that mean that if you have a little bit of beta cells left that new beta cells can grow? If this is the case then. HALLELUJAH. GOD IS GOOD.
Dr Bernstein, I’m reading your books The Diabetes Diet & Diabetes Solution. I ran into checking sugar levels using Clinistix/Diastix, being able to use these testing with your saliva. Looking these words up I only run into them having to do with urine testing. By then it’s too late, you’ve eaten & digested the food. What do you say now? Can these sticks be used in the way you prescribe or do I have to wait for an already digested urine test?
@@pamelagroves2142 you realize this isn't his channel right? He is just a guest. If you want to contact him directly, you should probably do it on his own platforms instead of demanding he answer your random comment on someone else's channel.
I've been keto for years and the only time ketones have shown up in my urine was in the first three weeks (which is not unusual). So I don't understand what you're talking about. If your patients have shown up looking so sick, then they must have only just started the diet. Protein and fat are very well balanced. We've been eating it for millions of years.
The Doctor's sick patient was suffering from Ketoacidosis, which is entirely different from dietary ketosis. See his comments on #8 at time stamp 12:29.
32:09 mind flip !! , after watching this it’s possible my husband may have peyronie disease , I looked into this further and it said it’s associated with high blood pressure and diabetes . he eats highly processed foods, lollies by the bag, soo much bread and cakes it makes me angry , he has severely high blood pressure … he trying to convince me his bendy friend issue is due to lack of use …funny but not funny . I’ve been telling him for years his eating habits are crazy and he called me crazy …..sheesh …
Any level. Its simple interaction and the damage depends on how many sugar molecules interact with our blood vessel tissue over time. Damage over time.....
Higher levels. It's compared to sugar coating a cell. The more sugar, the more thorough the coating until it eventually hardens the cell. A.G.E. = Advanced glycation end stage.
Dr Bernstein, What do you think of a whole food plant based diet? After 60 years of diabetes one kidney and three pancreas transplants I now have CAD x 3 vessels at 60% occlusion.
If the growth hormone was the signal sent to the liver to produce more glucose wouldn't we then notice a change in the production of glucose throught the age? Obviously children and teenagers would then then tend to produce more glucose than adults? I think it think it has to do with the brain ability to process glucose rather than the liver.
