10 Food Categories That Stabilize Glucose Spiking & Beat Diabetes

[@tipper2505]

Thank you, Dennis! In Jan. I was told I was pre-diabetic with an A1c of 6.6. I found your channel, and others like Dr Berg and took your advice, bought a glucose meter, and started to pay attention to my diet. The secret for me was to eat5 a large green salad for lunch every day, in addition to cutting out sugar and most carbs. This week my A1c was 5.4 and I lost 30 lbs. Wow. Also, I feel great, have no hip issues, have more energy and I eat better than I ever have!

I worked with a diabetic lady who did not watch her diet at all. She was overweight and took insulin daily. She told me she would rather die than not have a donut. I said……Teresa, there are things far worse than death. Blindness, kidney failure, strokes and heart disease and amputations. Now that I’m retired we have lost touch. I didn’t know about your channel then or I would have told her. You are wonderful. Thank you 🙏🏻 for everything you do.

Hi Dennis, three weeks ago, my sight was getting blurry and I decided to do something about it at long last and bought myself my own 'Mike the Meter' and it came through the post. I was apprehensive because I have had this problem for ten years and at an official medical to work abroad - it was as high as 10.5 but I did the finger prick and tested myself and I was 7.3 - OK, so not a progressive disease because it came down 3 points after losing 60 pounds and training and exercise but no real change in what I ate (though I started to do OMAD and intermittent fasting) so with the meter, I changed my diet, I now do IF within a six hour window with no starches and two meals a day between twelve and six after a hard workout. I am now as of this morning a 5.3 fasting and my blurry sight corrected itself within days. Your videos and channels are amazingly positive and it got me (as well as my dad insisting on me getting one when I told him about my blurry vision) to get my own 'Mike the Meter' and with all the information we freely have at hand about how to reverse this these days- I did not want to end up the stupidest blind amputee in the nursing home, I want to leave this planet on my feet and with my sight, I am amazed on how quick the turnaround was, it was like my body was pleading me to stop me drowning it in carbs and starches and it has responded magnificently to the new diet, thank you for your work.

Hi Dennis. I was diagnosed in Jan of this year as a diabetic with a A1C of 7.4. I did my research and cut off all carbs and in March reduced my A1C to 6.2. I was 180 lbs when I got diagnosed and lost 30 lbs in 2 months. I took another A1C 3 weeks after and my A1C dropped to 6.0. I found your videos which were informative and helped me with fasting and I implemented 2 meals a day and then to OMAD. As of last 2 weeks my A1C is 5.7. I still experience the dawn phenomenon. I just want to tell you I appreciate all the information you put out there to help others with this battle. I plan to reverse diabetes and I am almost there. I have lost a total of 35 lbs. 😊

Thank you, Dennis! I wanted to mention something that I recently added to my repertoire of “can have” things. It’s called egglife wraps, found refrigerated (near the shredded cheese in my supermarket). They are a mite pricey, but they don’t spike my glucose at all. I enjoy them for a quick sandwich or put my hamburger in one. Just to let this community know it’s out there. Coffee and cream spikes my sugar to over 150, so I am super insulin resistant and have to be super careful!

Thank you Mr.Dennis for some good positive information.

Thank You, Dennis, Six Months ago at 81 years of age, My blood work showed an A1C of 5.7. The doctor's nurse said I was prediabetic, and the doctor said you are doing fine. I knew better so I ordered your book of 60 Ways to beat diabetes. I viewed your channel as well as Dr Sten Ecburg's channel. Now six months later. my A!C is 4.6. My fasting blood sugar went from 108 to 80. My weight went from 252 pounds to 196, and I was taking two blood pressure medications. I had to drop one due to low blood pressure side effects. I carefully monitor my blood pressure daily and the readings are all normal. My friends ask me what my weight loss goal is, and I tell them I will continue my new eating and exercise habits. and God will set that goal.. I suspect my weight will stabilize between 170 and 180 pounds in the healthy BMI range for my height. Again, thank you, and God Bless, Rick

Dr Ben Bickman mentions that if your blood glucose level is much lower than what the A1c says it could be because your the A1c measures the amount of hemoglobin in red blood cells that are glycated. But if the person is becoming healthier their red blood cells may be living longer, leading to a higher number being glycated. In conclusion, the most relevant number is the direct measure of blood glucose levels and do it several times a day: after waking up, before every meal, 1 or 2 hrs after every meal and take the daily average. A1c is an indirect measurement of blood glucose and other factors affect it

I reckon we do not need much protein if we aren't doing resistance training, especially if we are still insulin resistant. Going forward, I want to switch to alternate day fasting. I feel it's time to shock my metabolism. You may require something similar, i.e., extend fast and do resistance training. If you cannot do the latter, then dial down your protein intake until you hit the sweet spot for you by testing.

@@naijaman6639 Thank you for the suggestions and reply. I have started doing a 5-1-1 schedule. 5 days IF, 1 day 24 hr fast and 1 day 36 hr. Being a female and hypothyroid I found I do better like this. :)

[@naijaman6639]

@@merryannebrown Wow, you already have a robust intermittent fasting strategy in place. I am not a fan of exercise but I am slowly getting to the point of acknowledging it is the missing piece for me. It may be the same for you. My blood glucose only drops below 5.0 or 90mg/dl when I fast for up to 48 hrs and above. Once I eat and I mean ketovore, it hovers around 6 or 108. Losing weight around the abdomen is crucial and with hypothyroidism, weight loss may be more challenging, especially without exercise. Yes, it's challenging, but it's better to be aware and continue to strive for good health. The alternative is disastrous.

Diabetes does seem impossible to manage when dumped on a patient all at once. I think that the diabetes ED we are given is crap. Who can go from eating what you crave to dropping carbs and sugars all at once? I found it easier to cut out sugars first. When you realize the importance of your A1C and see t coming down, then you can begin to cut down on carbs. It helps if you are a meat lover to begin with. My friend craves bread and veggies. She wants zero meat. She finds it nearly impossible to regulate her diabetes. I feel for her as she is finding out the results of long term diabetes.😅

One thing about eating peanuts and other nuts is that unless they are ground like they are in peanut butter, or chewed very well the pieces pass through mostly undigested.

[@explorer0213]

Dennis have you every taken diabetic medication? If so which?

[@beatdiabetes3]

never have

[@aulbertwest9648]

What can we do at church dinners?

[@darlenepaul2918]

Basically bring our own food. Actually kidding Not kidding. I eat meat and veggies without sugar or carbs somehow mixed in. Even the salads and coleslaw often have sugar. I sometimes even eat ahead of time.I also bring a p3 snack and colby jack cheese sticks. I bring stevia for my coffee and 1 square of 90% lindts chocolate for dessert. Sometimes I also bring a couple of hard boiled eggs.

Sweet Baby aRays sugar free sweet and smoky flavor......yummmmm

[@parveenhameed4843]

What about chick peas and chick peas flour ? And beans legumes

[@brendaandrandyking4126]

Cashews and pistachios highest carb nut ......pili nuts are great but expensive and might be hard to find.....2 brazil nuts a day to get your selinium!!! Pecans are my fav but not the nuts that are roasted in vegetable or canola oils thats omega 6 and those tyoe oils are whats made our cells sick and posibly helped in becoming insulin resistant

[@nancyk7874]

Dennis, speaking of flours, have you tried chicken, beef, or organ flour yet?

[@shapienails3067]

Dennis, I don't really know a lot about vitamins and nutrients in foods. Supposedly meat/fat has all of those vitamins/proteins we need .. by what I've heard them say. Just wanted to say this because I also follow Dr. Berry and other Carnivore Dr's here on YT. But to follow only a meat diet/Carnivore you should add salt for electrolytes. 🤷

[@dennisdahlberg4000]

When you start dancing around with keto friendly foods you are setting yourself up to fail…it’s like telling an alcoholic to give up the hard stuff..but it’s ok to drink light bear…recovering alcoholics know it’s never a good idea to get close to that line…same goes for recovering sugar addiction…don’t get close..you will slip up and fail..don’t do it.

I have😮chronic pancreatitis & have to keep fat intake low. Whew tough to eat but yes, your plan works except for fatty meats

[@tonyaw7177]

what is picani sauce?

[@beatdiabetes3]

Similar to salsa.

[@ThienNguyen-jn9lq]

Thanks Dennis !! What’s about bananas ???

[@beatdiabetes3]

One of the worst fruits for spiking blood sugar.

[@aulbertwest9648]

After eating strawberries and a couple of bananas my blood sugar went from 61 (low) to 176 in just a few hours.

[@gloriasaliba3395]

A single banana would do that a couple of bananas for sure - give bananas a big miss if you’re diabetic

[@KaHo2211]

Dennis said bananas are off-limits. Strawberries in moderation are ok.

[@aarthyschannel969]
