I just signed up with my email address for more info The company only asked where I heard about them in the quiz I had to take The only choice I had was U tube I hope you get the credit you deserve At 76 I found out I had stage 2 diabetes, 3 months later went back & did a urine test & found out I had Stage 3 Kidney Diease I was shocked, no symptoms except my feet were swelling up. I thought it was arthritis I've been researching & that's how I found you Your recipes are amazing just like you Within 6 months I have my diabetes under control Off all medications I've list 150 Lbs Everything I eat I take my blood gluose 3 times One half hour, then One hour, then Two hours If my blood spikes anymore than 130 don't cook it anymore All your wonderful recipes I use & it works Thank you for all you do ,you certainly made a huge difference in my life I will forever be grateful
As long as you used my link I'll get credit ☺️ Thanks so much! What an amazing testimony of what impact diet can have on health! SO happy that I could be a small part of it. 🥰😘
You can reverse diabetes & reverse kidney diease which that's what I'm working on now Life is sooooo wonderful & my movation is living as long as I can If I can do it, anyone can
Standing ovation 👏 I love how you’ve done so many research on different available test that don’t require a visit to your doctor to get a prescription. Personally I tell my doctor when I see him it’s a social visit because nothing he tells me to do works. I’ve gotten better insight on health through different keto experts (some being doctors themselves) I was diabetic for years and tried to reverse it alone with diet and was successful short term. Then decided to have sleeve surgery (weight loss surgery) that excited me to know I left hospital off all meds. However although the program included advice from a “nutritionist “ I still was able to eat all the wrong foods just in smaller quantities because my stomach was cut down to size of a small banana. I still monitored my sugar daily with glucometer at home and had routine bloodwork done to check A1c but the idea I can now get a cgm without being diagnosed as a diabetic to monitor how the foods, time of day etc affect my sugar excites me. I appreciate you and will be signing up to get my cgm ❤
Exactly, Nili!! EVERYONE should check their blood sugar regularly, that way people can monitor their blood sugar so they can make better food and life style choices. We should ALL be doing this! I totally agree with you!
Sorry one more thing my doctor and nutritionist never talked or explained which foods to avoid to reduce, eliminate inflammation, stomach issues until I came across Dr berg and opened up my eyes and introduced a whole new keto community. I am so grateful for you all. Everyone needs to be more proactive in achieving a better healthier lifestyle and use the tools and information shared to decide what works for them and doesn’t. Just like you hear “there’s an App for that “ in conventional medicine they say “ there’s a pill for that “ but unfortunately they all have side affects. I no longer want to take a pill for a disease and create another problem that has to be corrected with another pill. Thank you for letting me share my opinion.
I have not found FreeStyle Libre to be all that accurate for either me or my hubs. We got a scrip for him as he was pre-T2D and private pay for it with The GoodRX discount, around $77 for 2 (one month supply). I recommend checking periodically with finger sticks and recording those readings in the app so you can track the gap between sticks and the CGM. It runs low for us compared to the more accurate finger stick monitor but it is super helpful for things testing foods so we still use them. They’re a great biohacking tool for maximizing your food choices. Expect big BS spikes for physicality like exercise and for stressors like driving in traffic. The graph is an awesome picture of what’s going on in your body.
Dexcom G6 is great as well... The upcoming G7 will be a game changer...
When I wore one, the difference between the CGM and testing on a glucometer were huge at times, loosely in the ballpark, and other times spot on. The blood test will be more accurate than the CGM. I hope it all works well for you and you learn what you are wanting to. Carry on! :)
I've been wearing the Dexcom G6 through Levels Health for the past 2 month. Total game-changer! You're gonna love it! I'm excited to watch your experience.
Me to. I love getting my zone scores and seeing how exercise effects my blood sugar. I’ve learned so much
I am really interested in this CGM. I look forward to the next video you do on it.
That is awesome. I have one coming to try out
I just got a libre yesterday too, and already some interesting data that I wasn't expecting. I'm looking forward to seeing your experiments with it!
Thanks for sharing this. I've been so interested in doing this, but I wish it was more affordable.
Thanks for the demo. I can’t wait to hear results.
One weird thing I've observed is that a hot shower will produce a high reading that looks like a spike. Nothing to be concerned about, I just found it to be interesting. I have found too that some sensors can be way off or defective. I have three different Glucose monitors. I took all of them to the lab with me one morning to test at the same time as the lab drew a fasting glucose. I have a Keto Mojo, the Precision Xtra, and the FreeStyle Libre. The Xtra & Mojo were both measuring 20 points higher than the actual lab amount. However, the FreeStyle Libre blood strip (not the CGM) was spot on with the lab result. The CGM sensor measures the glucose in the interstitial fluid (not the blood), so there is about a 5 min delay in the measurement matching what a finger stick would say. The CGM sensor reading in my experiment matched the lab result after five minutes or so. I called the manufacturers of the Xtra and the Mojo and was told that a 20 point discrepancy between their device readings vs. the actual blood lab was considered within the FDA approved margin of error. This is disappointing. If your Mojo or Xtra consistently shows a fasting glucose reading of 110-120 you might be thinking you are borderline pre-diabetic when in reality your numbers are in the mid to high 90s. Looking forward to hearing your results :)
I've also noticed the hot shower readings. My morning readings are always higher than I would like but days I take a morning shower they are even higher.
I know a lot of people who have been getting CGM's. I am going to get my labs done in January or February (when I can actually get an appointment). My dad had adult onset diabetes. Mom was always worried I would get diabetes, although I didn't at that time. It will be interesting to see how my A1C and glucose numbers. I have never had either tested. I am a couple of weeks away from 62. Dad was 60 when he got the diagnosis.
You're the 2nd channel I watch regularly to put on this CGM today, so I guess it is trending.
I’ve been following The Glucose Goddess by Jessie Inchaupe ….very interesting too. I really wanted CGM. Thank you once again for an eye opening WELLNESS WEDNESDAY! Also flux is caused from cortisol, adrenal, hormonal, having your period…a lot of other unforeseen metabolic issues causes changes.
An after-dinner snack of hard cheese, fatty meats like pepperoni and liverwurst or full fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese always lowers my glucose by about 10 points. A snack with allulose, monk fruit, almond or coconut flour like mug cake or ice cream raises my glucose, I also put on 12 lbs. after losing 35 since I started the mug cakes and ice cream. Going Carnivore until spring and will see what happens. Heading your way come spring to the Evergreen Museum in McMinnville.
I used it for about two years. It definitely help me. One thing was it got me off caffeine. My BS is way more stable now.
Their App is excellent. But now I use the manufacturer’s app which is not nearly as good. It absolutely is good to see what your body is doing.
I just ordered one...I'm looking forward to trying this!
Wonderful! I hope you get some really good insights from it! ☺️
My CGM was a true eye opener for me!
It's a good tool if you know what you are using it to achieve or trying to help you identify what foods or stress, or lack of sleep, or medication might still be raising glucose levels. It is important to to remember you can have HIGH Insulin Resistance while having "good or low" blood sugars levels. My A1C has never been over 5 BUT after 2 1/2 yrs of strict keto I still have high IR....I have had high IR for 40 plus years and my A1c has always been 4.9 - 5. My body is very efficient at storing fat...which is why my blood glucose has remained low. BUT that doesn't mean that low glucose lone means you are healthy.
I agree that the information from the CGM is not the ONLY information you need in order to be healthy. Knowing your insulin level is really important too. I shared my fasting insulin labs on a previous Wellness Wednesday video. 👍🏼
@@IndigoNili Great! I will check it out. So many pieces to the puzzle . Thanks for your help!
Those kind of glucose monitors are the best. As a type 1 diabetic it would help me maintain my sugars. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover them anymore. Nor my insulin pump omg that was like having an artificial pancreas... Now I am back to the old fashion units and needles
I'm fighting to get an those too. It's much cheaper for insurance to pay for maintenance than consequences.
I've been interested in a CGM for a while now but have a LOT of questions. None of the questions are answered on that link tho. Guess I need to sign up for additional info, eh? Thanks for this vid AND for the discount!! UPDATE: Ok, I checked the website again and I don't see any "additional info" to sign up with only "tips and tricks and inspiration" to sign up with? Is that what you mean? 2ndUPDATE: Ok, have to go thru their health quiz and THEN you can "sign up" and THEN they'll show you their plans. PHEW!
I had put my first one under my arm-never again, worse spot ever. I noticed that the can be a 40 point difference between a finger stick and a CGM reading.
*there can be.
I signed up! This would be very interesting!
Were you able to get your insurance company to pay for the CGM or did you have to pay for it out of pocket?
What is on your phone? Do you need special sensor on your phone as well?
I wish I had insurance so I could afford a CGM. I know something is throwing things off for me I've gained weight and am holding on to fluid. Would like to get to the bottom of it.
The problem with using a cgm and promoting the use of cgm for off label use is there is a limited supply. Using a product off label makes it much more difficult for people who truely need to obtain it
This is a myth that has been going around but it has been shown to be untrue
@@IndigoNili I have experienced it first hand
Can you tell us how much it costs
I am sorry. I just can not afford this. The website makes me enter all this stuff and then asks for name and email so I stopped. I don't want to give my info until I know the price. I googled the price and it ranges from $160 to over $300/month. That is just too much for the average person. This needs to be prescription free like the glucose sticks. Then it will be affordable. Until then its a tool for the wealthy. Somebody please tell me I am wrong. I will ask my doctor if this can be prescribed.
I put in all my info also. I’m on a fixed income and can’t afford a monthly subscription. Maybe prices will come down since non diabetics are using it now. I sure hope so.
Most insurers will not pay even if you are diabetic unless you are on insulin. I have type 2 but not on insulins, so I have to pay out of pocket. The spot where Nili put hers, which the company recommends, is the most uncomfortable for me. The skin is loose there and jiggles. I out it on the top of the arm and it works great.
The Libre, I bought, was terrible. The monitor was never correct. Alarm constantly going off, always very wrong reading. The Monitor attached on the upper side of the arm, was very inconvenient . I hit it on doorways, or people bumping me. The monitors adhesive hold would come off my arm, needle bent... another $75 wasted.
Bummer! So far so good with this one! 👍🏼
Wow, cj. That does sound like a terrible experience! I have been using the Libre for about a month and a half (I'm on my third device.) I place the unit (as I understand the directions) on the back, fleshy part of my upper arm. Once secured, I can't feel it nor does it catch on clothing, doors, etc. Taking it off is the worst part because the adhesive is so sticky! But everyone's experiences are individual and perhaps you'd be happier with a monitor that attaches elsewhere. Good luck on your health journey!
I use levels app and Dexcom G6
The app is great, but they will trap you, and its almost impossible to cancel.
So with nutrisense you don’t need a script?
Do you have a concern that you could in a loop of worrying too much? I think I might.
I don't have that worry for myself but it's an area where you would need to know your own self to make the right decision. Sounds like you might already know your answer! 😉
How much does it cost?
They have a few different subscription options so it depends
Can you give us the different prices and a different options
💙🦋💙
I think I missed it, but are you a diabetic? I thought you were doing keto more for weight loss.
I addressed this right towards the beginning of the video
She said she's not.
Sorry
I recommend you don't use Nutrisense. I signed up initially for the 3 month plan. They invoice you, then they ship the CGMs - or not in my case. For the third month, they shipped my CGMs almost 2 weeks late (12 days to be exact). What did they offer me as compensation? Nothing. Here is the email they sent me:
"I understand that you're frustrated with the delay in receiving your CGMs for this month. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the shipment delay. The 4th of July holiday did impact the normal shipping schedule, resulting in a delay in delivery.
I have tracked your package, and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, June 11th. Here is the tracking information:. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience."
Additional emails confirmed they had no remedy for delivering 12 days late but they were sorry and would provide no refund even for the almost 1/2 month I did not have a CGM.
please do not ....the amount of EMF .....
