Love you all! I appreciate your support!
Stellar video Tom! Thank you for making it. 😃👍
Thanks for this great advice.
Very helpful information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you for this video! It is a very good one to hear! My Father passed away when his sugar dropped too low!
Great video!
Very helpful!
Many thanks for yet another very informative video. As a result I now have my nighttime BG under much better control. My worry at the moment is that having reduced meal portions and carbohydrate intake I have been losing weight for nine months. I am a 68 yr old male T1 (since age 56) injecting Levemir 20 morning/30 before bed and Rapid through the day. I was 156lbs but am now 143lbs which at 5’ 7” is still a healthy weight but I do not want to go much lower. I play two hours doubles tennis 2/3 times a week and do a hike at least once a week. I use Freestyle Libre 2 which says HBA1c is 5.8 & time in target av is 91%. Any thoughts?
Very nice Mr.Tom Very helpful my sugar control
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend!
Thanks for the Video Tom!! I was Literally Struggling With High Blood Sugars At Night! It Really Helps!🥰😍
You are very welcome James!

Good information! not sure if you've did a video on the dangers of inaccurate CGMs and insulin stacking, but about a week ago I damn near checked up out of here, I have a CGM that monitors every 5 min so I tend to stay in range however I went off my diet and indulged in extreme sweets after about 2 hours I noticed I was still well over 300 I started taking 5 units of fast acting and dosing every 30 min to bring my numbers down, after about 2 and 1/2 hours the monitor is just staying HIGH, I then loaded up another 5 units and before my wife could say "baby use the old meter and prick your finger" I had already shot 💉 it in,,, of course I double checkd and bam the finger prick put me at 67,, I really should of gone to the hospital but thank God the lowest I got was only 48 and I was back normal by the morning, that was close just figured I should share it before someone else does what I did and wondering 🤔, why am I in this hospital or worse.
Thanks for the tips! I’m type 2 diabetic and I’m on a weight loss journey. Have stopped sweets and drinking more water ( even though I don’t like the taste of plain water). I have to stop 🛑 sodas and do some exercise. New subbie!
I was diagnosed on april 4th , 22. I stopped eating everything bad ..it took untill now but in the last 2 weeks my numbers are 130 in the morning and 115 or 106 between lunch and dinner. I also walk 45 min at after dinner. Ever night. With the weight loss. I also let nothing stress me out. I drink water and un sweetened tea also my reg coffee w/ french vanilla creamer. Im not on metformin or insulin. I check my blood suger when im supposed to. My primary dr is very happy & we continue to do what we have to , to be healthy. Good luck out there everyone.
My husband is Also type2!
There is a perfect solution to this for all the people who it is available for. The Tandem XTslim pump together with the Dexcom sensor. Do whatever you can to let your doctor prescribe you Dexcom sensors and the next time you are allowed a new Pump go for the Tandem with IQ Control. I am steady as a rock at night, around 6.0 all night. My pump is taking care of that supported by the Dexcom. This is the pro solution in my opinion.
Tom let me tell you that you are always great. A fast question, one doctor told me that we need a certain amount of insulin per kg of weight of our body. Technically it is logic, because insulin has to cover all the cells of all over our body, isn't? When I tried this way, eat less and inject less, I got several problems ending in the hospital.. Of course eat healthy and avoid some foods is the base, even i don't do it and at the last check I was 6,6 and I never been like that, I can be better I now.. But I am happy about it. I don't avoid northing. I admire you that you can eat so long time before to go to bed, me no, and it is not healthy my way, I know it. Personally I solved this problem since I started using the insulin that cover a long time, now I am using TRESIBA, before was another kind and similar and since I am using a sensor and this Tresiba, it is amazing, even if sometimes I may go down but not during the night but at breakfast time. If I go up I take a shot and I solve in this way. Fortunately insulin has not side effect, so I can inject extra if I need (corrections) thanks for your great video Tom, is always a pleasure to see your work.
I approve this video.
Yesterday night my blood sugar was 184 and the fasting sugar is 176 in the morning(9 hrs)... So what I can do to reduce this to normal in the morning.... Thank you....
I'm not a diabetic, I've eaten a low carb (EXTREMELY LOW processed carb) high quality whole food diet for 5 years. I'm highly active including fasted cardio and weight training 5-6 mornings/week. My weight/BMI/ hip to waist ratio etc....are ideal yet I wake up to urinate 2-4 times a night (I am 58 though) and I pretty much always wake up 4-5 hours after going to sleep (I fall to sleep within 5 minutes) and have difficulty returning to sleep. I'm pretty sure it's "non reactive" (non diabetic)" nocturnal hypoglycemia. I just don't know what's causing it. I guess that wearing a cgm might help me diagnose it but I'm not sure.
I typically fast for nearly 23 hours each day, consuming a dinner that's rich in fiber and protein, with a modest amount of carbohydrates, between 6-7 pm. This meal doesn't cause a significant increase in my blood sugar levels; they peak at 135mg/dl post-meal and drop back to around 100mg/dl within three hours. In addition to my daily routine, I make it a point to walk approximately 4-5 km before bed and another 5 km during the day, totaling about 10 km of walking every day. Before bedtime, my blood sugar levels are usually between 95-105mg/dl. However, during the night, I notice fluctuations, with my blood sugar levels oscillating between 115 to 150 mg/dl. Upon waking, the levels are about 120-125mg/dl, which then decrease to below 100 mg/dl by noon, thanks to my fasting state. Despite this active lifestyle and dietary management, my general practitioner diagnosed me with insulin resistance, indicating a HomaIR score of 4.7. I'm puzzled by these patterns and would like to understand why this is happening.
how do you with lower back muscle hurting.
Hi. If Ivan achieve stable bs by eating a ligh dinner. I was curois sous sloping diner have the same desired affect? Thankyou and love your videos
Couple of things I found from experience. If you use a tandem pump, sleep mode is a real game changer. It almost always keeps my sugar level around 120 average all night long. The other is when you eat high fat foods like pizza, digestion takes much longer so generally I have to give more insulin than usual AND give more insulin a couple of hours later. Exercising about 2 hours after you eat is also a big help. Yore asking for trouble if you eat this stuff for dinner.
Pls do video about how you use the pump my daughter tow years old she start using omnipod pump
You and I are on the same page. Using the Tandem pump with Control IQ has resulted in a major, major improvement in my overall and especially night time control. I can't say enough positive about the results.
Thank you so so much for sharing! Totally agree on control IQ. I use it as well. I was considering including it as point 5 in the video but decided not to as I talked about it in a couple videos before and I did not want to repeat myself + many pople do not have access to this technology. But maybe I should have included it as I go thourgh the commnets:) Thank you again!
@@munasharif3300 I have a couple videos on this topic. Please check them out!
@@dwightl5863 100% agreed!
How much protein helps blunt the blood glucose per meal?
My A1C is a fantastic 4.9 mmol, but I am anaemic and also take medication that interferes with result! Anyone had issues with blood pressure taken over sensor? I’ve avoided this but just thought I’d ask. Thanks for the great content you put out.
Thank you for sharing and asking this questios! I do not have experience with this but I am sure someone else will have. Take care my friend!
I know anemia effects Hba1c, making readings inaccurate. But I don't think it impacts your CGM data. Some CGM apps use the data from your sensor to calculate a hba1c (average). This may be more accurate for you.
Obviously focus on addressing the anemia causes. There are many forms of anemia, some are related to low iron intake or increased demand/loss.
My possible true A1C is currently +/- 7.7 mmol and it’s a specific type of anaemia apparently. My CGM readings are accurate as they can be and that’s why I’ve been given them to use because no chance blood readings are right, endocrinologist is working with haematologist to sort out what’s going on
@@TheShedOccupant Do you mean A1c or Blood Glucose Level? A1c is a measure of your average BG level over a 2-3 month period, where as a Blood Glucose Level is a measure of your current glucose levels. A1c is typically measured in % or mmol/mol.
Instead of saturated fats should we eat more monosaturated fats?
Hi, i like ur all videos.I just get diabetes 2 before 3 months and i want to ask u ,why my sugar at 6am is 6,5 and after 2 hrs even i dont eat anything go up at 7,4 mmol/l? Thanks🙂
Thank you for asking. Please check my video called "How to avoid high morning blood sugars". I address this point there in the second half of the video I believe. Thank you again!
@@TypeOneTalks Thank u !
A healthy night time drink to help...
Warm unsweetened almond milk, cinnamon, moringa, valerian root powder and raw cacao plus stevia drops to taste.
You can also add adaptogens such as ashwaghanda, magnesium or medicinal mushrooms if you struggle wirh sleep.or stress
Thank you for your tips my friend! Much appreciated!
@@TypeOneTalks would you consider more CGM Challenges where you test snacks or drinks marketed as keto or low carb? There are soooo many interesting products now available but I do wonder what their true impact is on blood sugar
@@TypeOneTalks did you see the product by Real Ketones which was featured in a TV interview mentioning that it kept blood sugar levels more stable and reduced post-meal blood sugar spikes when consumbed with the meal
@@littlevoice_11 Yes. I am actually considering this. I am now planning this concept and how to best serve community with this. The little issue I see with specific products is that they are usually very reaginal and my audience is international. (What is on the market in the US is not available to 60% of my viewers and the other way round. But it is definitely a good idea which I want to make happen this year. Thank you!
@@TypeOneTalks I'm in the UK and many USA Keto items aren't available but Keto Supplements UK is a company bringing more brands to the EU market for those interested in treating disease and improving health.
Other brands are world wide. I'd be interested in: Keto Pro, Perfect Keto, Real Ketones and Keto Boostball products.
You could post a poll in the community tab of your channel for us to vote.
But you could also do some more generic items such as collagen powder, pea protein isolate, maybe some specific vegetables, nuts and seeds.
Why avoid saturated fats?

My blood sugars go up before bed and in the morning are high
In UK , as you know we use mm/l. Therefore lost understanding when talking about your measurements.
Sorry about that, usually I try to include the conversion on the screen. The convertion ration is 18:1 when you want to get mg/dl to mmol/l. Hope this helps!
My blood sugar was 65 before sleeping so i ate a peach that it will not get so low at night and in morning it was 301 😭
My blood glucose starts rising around 1 to 2 AM from 80 mg/dl or so to maybe 140 to 160. Gastroparesis is part of the problem. Eating my usual single meal a day by 2 PM usually helps.
I try to stay under 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. But probably I eat too much protein. 50 years as a type 1 and you’d think I could do better.
How much insulin you take and your A1C levels??
My average for this week is 23 units/day. My latest HbA1c was 6%. Hope this helps!
@@TypeOneTalks On same lines 👍
And can we lift weight with libre?? Especially when it is on ur triceps..
@@TypeOneTalks wow how do you only take 23 unit per day?
@@TypeOneTalks your a1c is crazy good omg
Hi I get hungry by the time to sleep with this meal pattern. Can u guide me more?
Thank you for your comment. I will consider it in the future videos!
Did you see that high vitamin c can impact blood sugar readings making them inaccurate?
Yes. I’m aware that FreeStyle Libre struggles with high vitamin C intake. Thank you for pointing that out! I’m using Dexcom right now and did not have issues. But to be honest I am not certain how much my daily vitamin C intake is. Would need to calculate. Take care my friend!
?😅
Hi Tom. True . With plant based foods ( fruits, vegetables,sprouts,seeds,dry fruits, coconut...) and by stopping processed ,staturised food diabetes can be reversible no Matter it is type 1 or type 2 . Like our body's other cells,organs beta cells also can be regrow. And with physical activities you can be insulin free as well with these simple diet and smart eating this is called D.I.P diet ( Descipline in Intelligent People) find out more about D.I.P diet in RUclips to become insulin free.
You are definitely right about fat. I had a couple of pieces of bacon as a snack before bed last night and woke up at 204, even after my Dexcom went off in the middle of the night and I bolused again. Bacon bedtime snacks are out for me. 😢
Thank you for sharing. Same for me!:)
Protein will spike BG levels, albeit not as quickly or severely as carbohydrates. For example, my BG increases approximately 2hr 45m after eating bacon, so I don't eat it (or any other high-protein foods) within the 3 - 4 hours leading to bed time.
Thanks you Dr Igudia on RUclips for all you do in my life and my family. I went for a test today after taking the medication i ordered from Dr Igudia and I tested Type 2 Diabetes’s negative. Thanks doctor I will keep letting the world know about your good work sir.
80-120?? If you're over 99 aren't you pre-diabetic?
I don’t know what I would have done without your help. Thank you so much for curing my type 2 Diabetes with your herbs Dr Igudia.
Dexcom sucks. Can't log notes or food type....don't they do basic consumer research?
I pair it with Carb Manager app to get the functionality I want.
Fat doesent move blood sugar at all.
Keep it down, quiet eating CARBS!
Thank you for wacthing and sharing Fabrizio!
