[@greyseal53]

Ben - my doctor had diagnosed me as "pre-diabetic" many years ago and I generally managed both my glucose levels and my A1C with diet. I gave up any added sugar (mostly soda and snacks), most starches (bread, pasta, potatoes, beer, etc.), and became aggressive with carb counting (~100g daily), and I dropped 25 pounds in 2-3 months. I thought I was doing pretty well for the intervening years and then COVID struck along with some family tragedies followed by retirement. I allowed my diet to go unchecked for the better part of last year and was drinking more than I should. For my annual physical in fall 2020, my levels were normal but my 2021 physical was just last month and I had gained back the 25 pounds, my A1C was 10.0, and my glucose was 397! My doctor prescribed metformin and added dapagliflozin (Farxiga) after a follow up visit. I immediately began monitoring my glucose levels daily and resumed my aggressive carb counting, shooting for between 50-100g of carbs daily. Long story short, in just over a month's time my glucose levels are down to around 100 and I've dropped 12 pounds. A comment above used the term CARNeto diet - my regimen now is lean meat and a variety of vegetables (avoiding the starchy ones), water, and zero-sugar sodas if I want something different. I'm hoping that my next A1C in March will also show improvement and that I haven't done too much damage to my body during the time I was not paying the sort of attention to my diet that I should have. Dr. Berry is right on about managing your diabetic health through what you eat.

[@Meskarune]

I hate to say it but current medical research does not support the idea that type 2 can be cured.

While I respect vegetarian & vegans, its the ultra militant ones who claim that plant based is end all, cure all to every human illness. Then the lemmings who are still omnivores who believe them and think that's what they have to do to get healthy. Professor Eran Segal gave a TED Talks where said that there is no perfect diet and that everybody is different, which I definitely believe. My younger brother went vegan cold turkey with no problem. Meanwhile I tried vegetarianism for like 3 weeks and felt nauseous, dizzy, and weak. Even after trying to ease into it. My brother can eat carbs and not really put on weight. I spend 2 weeks eating carbs and I start to puff up. All my brothers and sisters like spicy foods. Me, can't handle it.

I was diagnosed with type 2 about 2 years ago. My sugar was 374 and a1c was 12. I have completely reversed this condition with diet alone. Everything that was said here in this video is 100% true.

[@dozermand6ify]

What changes did you make?

[@victorcilli8683]

@dozermand6ify the first thing I did was cut out all the drinks that were loaded with sugar, soda and juice mostly. That in itself made a huge difference. I also started drinking a lot more water. Next, I started paying more attention to what I was eating. I cut out all of the deserts and cut down on the carbs, and overall calories in general. There are actually a lot of food alternatives that are just as satisfying but are a lot better for you. You just need to do a little homework and find the ones that appeal to you the most. This is totally reversible, the doctors that tell you otherwise are full of it.

I am one of those skinny diabetics. I went to the doctor for a totally unrelated problem 11 years ago and "accidentally" found out that I was diabetic. I would have went on for many, many years never knowing it. This knuckle headed doctor basically told me that it was degenerative and to protect my feet from injury. He said absolutely nothing about my diet. I fired him and did not go to the doctor again until 2017. The first thing my new doctor told me, who is a naturopath, was to get on a ketogenic diet. I finally listened to her and you and after 4 years I improved my A1C from 11.7 to 6.0 last month.

Back in August 2017 I was hospitalized for 6 months with a severe heel ulcer (and a few smaller ones) that required 2 surgical debridements due to Peripheral Neuropathy in my legs and feet from T2 Diabetes. When I was discharged in February 2018 I weighed 368 lbs. My Hba1c was 18! I went on a Keto diet, and began Intermittent Fasting. By July 2018 my Hba1c was down to 4.8, and has remained between 4.8 - 5.6 ever since. I am off the 3 types of insulin I was on; as well as all oral diabetes meds except Metformin. I have lost 140 lbs, walk up & down stairs unaided, and at age 62 have done a minimum of 50 Push-Ups every day since November 5th 2020 after not being able to do a single Push-Up for over 40 years. (Have been doing a minimum of 100 for the past 4 months ) I now follow a Carneto diet. (It's what most people WRONGLY call Ketovore since the Carnivore portion makes up the biggest part of the meal, so it deserves priority, while the veggies, etc - the "keto" portion adds some variety. Thus, CARNeto.) So T2 Diabetes can be reversed, as I have done so.

I actually had to increase the amount of insulin I was taking, and gained 1 lb. I went on a strict under 20 carbs diet in the first week of April, and I ended up taking my last shot of insulin on April 27th, and stopped the Metformin in mid May. I went full carnivore the first week of June, and on July 7th my A1C came back a 5.6. I also lost 40 lbs during all that. I feel better than I've felt in at least 20 years, maybe even forever. I'm off ALL my prescribed meds. BP meds, Protonix, Atorvastatin, all of it. My psoriasis has cleared up, my joints no longer hurt, my depression and anxiety are gone.

Thank you for speaking the truth, Dr. Berry. I have been a pharmacist for almost 40 years and I would truly wish that I could be put out of business. I wish I could stop dispensing buckets of drugs to type 2 diabetics who believe all these lies. I have been preaching the low carb diet for decades for my type 2 diabetes patients and literally no one will listen. I see my patients in the grocery store and I can't help but take a peek into their carts- carts piled high with chips, cakes, doughnuts, bread, pretzels, sugary yogurt. Yesterday, I filled up a huge brown paper grocery bag full of drugs for a patient with type 2 diabetes. 6 of these meds were for diabetes and 3 or 4 more were for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The patient had maxed out their insurance and so the bill was about $600 Cdn. This for a patient obviously overweight and not yet 60 years old! I wish this were a rare occurrence but this scene is played out every day in my job. We need your video to be played on a continuous loop in doctor's offices, grocery stores and pharmacies. The lives of our type 2 patients depend on them hearing the truth and taking it to (their not very healthy) hearts. No more lies!

[@charlenewilliams219]

This is happening in Canada. My dad has DM- so far only type 2. He eats and drinks alcohol like he does not have DM. Apparently his glucose meter says okay or something to that effect when he is above 6. Dr. tells him he is okay with his prediabetic and diabetic readings. Thus my dad does NOT heed my concerns. I bought a BG/ketone meter and found out that my husband was continually prediabetic with his fasting am readings. He does like his carbs and does not exercise. I had to give up as it was too frustrating for me. I think my husbands health was or is not as bad as his brothers, as he did IF for years without knowing it. He would go without breakfast and lunch Monday to Fridays. Just coffee with 1/2 t. sugar. Two of his brothers died in their 50's with cardiac problems. His remaining brother has had 5- by pass surgery. I have finally let go. My job is to be the best I can be, Pray for them, and live out by example.

Encouragingly, they said " your cholesterol; readings are good so you can probably be OK with the low carb high fat approach". Despite this not being the NHS doctrine! Some 6 months later, (I have lost a total of 100 lbs in the last 3 years), I got round to telling my GP that I had not been taking my diabetes meds for 6 months (imagine what reaction I expected!) - his response? Are you monitoring your blood sugars and blood pressure? "Yes I said and they're both within good limits".

My mom died a painful death in Detroit she ended up going blind in one eye and her kidneys shut down but she never made it to dialysis because she had a heart attack. They told her she can continue to eat what she wanted and that fruit was a free food so she would stuff as much fruit down her gullet as she could and sometimes eat a week's worth of groceries in a couple of days. Because of the bad advice she was actually starving to death by just eating a bunch of fruit and getting fatter and fatter every day. Her bodyweight got out of hand and made her sedentary which cause more problems and she was immobile. Having done research on Diabetes myself because I was told it ran in my family I figured that out a long time ago I have not now nor if I ever been a diabetic and I refuse to take insulin and have changed my diet because of her painful death.

I had a friend who did that. I visited him in a nursing home and later in the hospital where he died a day later. If he had changed his diet he would have lived a longer happier life.

[@charlenewilliams219]

I had a friend die of diabetic complications during covid. He had both lower part of his legs amputated. He loved social interaction. Dying with very little visiting allowed if any.

[@joycewright5386]

I was a camp nurse last year and I was appalled that one little 10 year old camper with type 1 diabetes was told to eat whatever he wanted and just cover himself with more insulin. He had a specific formula from his doctor to follow. The first day at camp his sugar was over 500! This is the growing theory now of how to treat juvenile diabetes. I often wonder what the long term damage will be.

[@KismetWLS]

I'm in the middle of losing a friend to T2. Buys the lies real hard. I stopped arguing, they moved away, but not until after I got a call asking me for a ride from the hospital after a heart attack and quad stent. I bought two big bags of the least-harmful groceries I knew they would eat, to allow more time to rest and heal, but if we talk about recipes, I still hear more about "whole grain" whatever, and similar nonsense, than what people should eat.

I am a NODAT(New Onset Diabetes After Transplant) diabetic, the last few months I have dramatically altered my diet cooking all my meals not eating more than 50 or 60 carbs and managed to drop my A1c from >14% to 7.5%

[@csmeinert]

I have been pre type 2 diabetic for many years. I Took your advice and began A 16/8 intermittent fasting together with a low carb diet. In a few months my HbA1c has dropped back from close to 50 mmol/mol to 37 mmol/mol. I'm now in the normal range. Here's the latest and the last three year's tests. 21 Nov 2024 - 37 mmol/mol 30 April 2024 - 48 mmol/mol 21 April 2023 - 49 mmol/mol 15 July 2022 - 48 mmol/mol

[@dougiemac8417]

Awesome information Dr. Berry. I just turned 61 years old. I’ve been doing a lot of wrong things for a long time. Your videos are opening my eyes to how I can correct some things I’ve been told and and implemented for most all of my life. At 61 it’s not to late to better. Thank you so much. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@barbedwire_lace2160]

When I went strict carnivore and stopped all sugar even the occasional carrot and onion in my pot roast my appetite changed. I'm comfortable eating once a day midafternoon. Thanks Dr. Berry.

[@lydialady5275]

My nephew, at 14 years, has T2 diabetes, while his mother let's him eat anything, and everything, especially school breakfast and lunch, so as to reduce her expenditure... It's terrible, because she has screamed from all the roofs that her gestational diabetes has nothing to do with her progress into the deep end, and that not everyone can be like me and loose weight and avoid "pre" diabetes exploding into neuropathy and kidney failure. Because, of course I didn't go to medical school, so either I'm lying or I'm just hateful and don't want anyone to eat cake. The worst, though, is that at one point because I was doing all the cooking, my sister had lost weight, and was beginning to see her blood glucose levels plummet. Apparently, she's the type that requires a personal cook and a private shopper to keep her on track. Thank you for this. It's hard for some to hear, bit it must be said.

[@motherhubbard6468]

Was a laboratory scientist all my adult life. Believed the lie. It was only after i had gastric bypass surgery at 65 and went on their diet of protein first, then vegetables and carbs only if your still hungry did i realize the lie. My diabetes, gout, psoriasis, high blood pressure and knee pain totally went away. If i’d known about fasting and carnivore diet first i would have done it.

[@kimberlycooper4170]

Mother Hubbard , thank you for the comment. Now, I'm going to look into the eating plan that doctors give to people after gastric bypass surgery. Additional to note is that I've heard that people, who lose weight after gastric bypass surgery, can gain all the weight back and be obese if they eat the wrong things

[@stephiews98]

I have been a diabetic for 22 years. Tried every diet, vegan, raw, and juicing, numbers run 300- 400 on a daily basis. A1C 10 to 12 range. No one has ever told me I have hyperinsulin problems ! They just keep prescribing insulin.. Also have KP and the skin tags. Thank you Dr. Berry for explaining all of these problems. I have been carnivore for 2 weeks, sugars are getting better. 188 and 164 getting better, but still not great. KP is getting less noticeable. You are saving my life!!

[@sstrue5]

Dr Berry. I’m one of the thin diabetic people. My # 384 at hospital. A1C was13.8. Three months later with massive diet changes my A1C is 7.4. My question to you is what should my carb be per meal? I eat 3x per day. I had a heart attack 4 stents put in. Dr at hospital told me “ only reason your alive is because of your walking”. Thank you

[@karenbuchert3377]

Hi. On a keto diet, eat 20 grams of total carbs or less per day. Count all carbs. You can do it. Shoot for 6 grams per meal if eating 3 meals.

[@ayanabeltaine]

When I reversed my type II diabetes, after being excited about hearing the news.. I looked at the nurse and said "I thought you said this was an irreversible disease?".. she shrugged and said "well maybe you were just prediabetic, it can't be reversed".

[@marlenegold280]

Cognitive Dissonance, right?

[@TedBrogan]

Doctor told me the same. First time I ever cried in a Dr's office. She wasn't lying to me, she just didn't know any better. Shame my mom was there with me, because she hasn't learned about these lies like I have and we argue all the time.

[@robertburnett5561]

"miss diagnosis"...the usual crap out of doctors m

[@MrsGarks]

Yeah, the disease is reversible but the diet is not. My health issues mean I can never go back or slack off. Luckily, it's only miserable when you want to eat instead of a disease that makes every moment miserable.

[@bigGnmt]

Does "reversed" mean you are on no diabetes meds "At All "? For ever?

[@theohaugen241]

I was very skinny and was pre-diabetic for years and I Suffered because of being stubborn and sick.

[@henrybird26]

Thank you so much Dr. Barry for the work that you do it's so important for people who have been lied to by their doctors and their dietitians. When I was diagnosed with diabetes type II 34 years ago my dietitian told me to eat 1/3 of my diet in carbohydrates. I thought she was crazy. My A1c has stayed at 5.8 or 5.7 for many years. But I have seemed to have stalled out in making progress. i'm currently trying to start a carnivore diet in hopes that I can lower my A1c further.

[@chickadeetle]

When I was first diagnosed, I too was sent to a "diabetic nutritionist". She was the "expert" so I listened, my blood sugar went higher. So I examined my mother and my grandmother's histories. Both were type II. My mother believed all the lies and the ADA. She died at age 64 have every complication including amputations. My grandmother died in her sleep at age 84 and had no complications. The difference? She ate only meat and vegetables and only very very occasionally would have a bite of something on a holiday or something. She didn't go for the "diet ", "diabetic", "sugarfree" yada yada. She kept it simple. Who am I following? I have to admit, I was doing things my mom's way thinking I could do better until I smartened up. Unfortunately, my mom never stopped believing the lies and she spent the last 20 years of her life sick, overweight and miserable. My grandmother lived her life socially active, she travelled and was involved in community activities. She made living her life and not food. One thing about going low low carb-----------you don't crave the high carb anymore and not constantly starving. Makes it so much easier to keep your mind from going places it shouldn't.

[@leematherly3417]

I have been to several doctors now and none of them know anything about how to help me get rid of Type II with food. They just get mad and start yelling at me when I tell them I want to heal myself with food. I even had one tell me to find someone else upset I wouldn’t take meds. I am on the carnivore diet now and my glucose tests now are on the high end of normal fasting. I have a long way to go, but thanks to Dr Ken I am on my way!

[@terrygrieb6628]

Wow, I really needed that. I work hard daily, but my diet is loaded with carbs. A1C @ 8. I'm not one to share my personnel info, but I need to hold myself accountable.

[@carolinagurl22]

I’ve told a lot of friends about you and Neisha Dr. Berry. Eight couples (friends) are now doing Keto and watching your videos.

[@dramarcelanovoa]

I'm so glad to have your channel on my KZbin subscription, every time good news. Great success with my patients!

[@nancyk7874]

Awesome!

[@laurasweeney2546]

Thanks for exposing these lies. Yes, many physicians say people deserve to eat what they want!

[@Vibrationalinstitute]

Thank you for telling the truth. I'm a retired nurse and was taught all these in training. I only in past 5 years learned about hyperinsulinimia as I could not lose the weight needed to have my hip and knee replaced. Luckily I found a doctor who recognized what was going on with this started helping me make the necessary changes emphasis on diet and Am delighted with my new lifestyle and new joints.

[@WestArk7109]

Everything you just said is absolutely true and I wish more people understood the terrible damage people are doing to their bodies by not controlling their diet.

[@jsboening]

Thx for spreading some hope instead of more doom and gloom. Thanks for the lifeline.

[@louadkins7703]

I’ve gotten my A1c down to 5.1 from 5.8, by eating a red meat heavy, low carb diet. Great video!

[@dianamonzon3326]

Thank you Dr. Berry, you explained more to me than my own physician. You give me hope that I can get rid of this by changing and maintaining my diet.

[@Archi-baby]

This man is good I'm a diabetic 16 years nobody has ever told me the truth thank you for this video

[@AndreaHausberg-yt5qx]

I'm super skinny after loosing weight years ago with really good A1c but still have diagnosable heavy hyperinsulinimia. I just learned that it's still the reason for me still suffering. Nobody told me before, even after the hyperinsulinimia diagnosis. After some YT videos I now know. So I'll try controling it with Keto diet. So important you guys tell this publicly.

[@jerrygauld9066]

I was shocked to find out I was prediabetic. And was only about 10 pounds over weight that was the day I quite eating all junk foods. And found Doctor Berry a host of others who had the same general message.
