Does ed come with diabetes

[@Rusty6507]

Tubi, the Fox free streaming app, has a lot of documentaries. I recently viewed “The Diabetes Solution” regarding T1D, which served to confirm my negative impression of the advice given to diabetics when they are diagnosed. I am type 2, who suddenly had an A1c of 12.5…and I immediately enrolled in an ADA counseling within 2 weeks of my dx. I was appalled..the recommendations appeared going down a seriously bad path, dietarily. My dr started me off with metformin and glimepiride…telling me to return in a few months to review another A1c. At the 3 mo return visit, he started by saying he was going to increase my meds. I asked him to review my recent bloodwork first. It was now 6.2. He was amazed and asked what I had done different. The South Beach was my answer. It is now10 years later, same dosage of meds. Still remaing between that 6.2 and. 6.7 range. The SB diet was restrictive, so I switched no pasta (zoodles etc being substitutes) and other baked goods, bread etc, were Keto…baking most of my bread. I found the aforementioned video to be a valid assessment of the current state of the PTB’s conflict of interest

DlSCOVER THE NEW DM2 TREATMENT is the name of the video

[@mhxprs]

Three month ago I was diagnosed with diabetes 208 mg/dl and A1c 8.8. This is the first time I was officially an Type2 patient. Then I watched lots of KZbin videos like this one, and stop eating ice cream, coke, French fry, cake, sweet cereal. Instead, I eat egg and cheese more. I can feel thy my body feels much better than before: not much stomach acids, less fart, much clear mind. Although I take Metformin during next three month. I still keep my regular diet with rice, meet, and vegetables. If I am hungry during meals, I eat peanut and sunflower seeds. After theee month, I went to took the test again, and my sugar level is 108 mg/ml, and A1C is 5.4. So eat leas sugar do help.

[@abedch1]

Stop warring glucose and carbs totally and eat once or max twice a day for six months, you will not need metformin or any other medicine, when stop eating glucose and carbs you will not feel hungry. Keep controlling the potassium, magnesium and sodium , you’ll be cured within 6 months

Hi Tom! I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after an annual checkup. I had a fasting glucose of 254 and an A1C of 11.3! After some more tests they found I had tested positive for antibodies (289.2 U/ml) and other markers. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your hard work in making this information so available and entertaining! My family and I were so overwhelmed when we found out, because I was relatively healthy and diabetes doesn’t run in my family at all! Since watching your videos, I have been able to keep my average sugar around the 111 mark. We love your videos, and would 100% purchase any merchandise if you had any! We often joke about how I’m a blood sugar champion in the morning! I was wondering if you have ever made a video about the “honeymoon phase” of T1D? My endo thinks I’m going through it now and it’s been difficult to find videos that are as thoughtful and informative as yours! Thank you so much again for all of your hard work!

[@REvelyn0716]

In terms of tips that I’ve incorporated from your videos… I love adding a capful of apple cider vinegar to some apple cinnamon tea at night! I also like to have a cup or two of zero sugar Chobani Greek yogurt at night! I think the extra carbs from the yogurt and the tea help me keep things relatively level throughout the night… and the yogurt helps my sweet tooth! I also try to intermittent fast for at least 12 hours a day, although I average about 14. :)

[@terrilaughlin1121]

Congratulations, it sounds like you’re doing a lot better. Tom has been a Godsend for us too. Tom has such a great advice. My daughter was diagnosed T1D in September 2023. She is in the ‘ honeymoon period’ too. What a weird term😂 We would love to hear more about the honeymoon period too. She and I always have eaten healthy because she also has celiac disease. Celiac is another autoimmune disorder, egg and other food allergies. I cook nearly everything we eat, and we never go to restaurants. She has gotten sick before from restaurants claiming to follow gluten-free protocols.

[@1234567890noone]

From my understanding, which is limited mind you, the honeymoon phase for type 1s happens after they start treating their condition. Since it's not like type 2, in which the major issue is insulin resistance and not insulin absence (which can still happen if the pancreas is in a very bad state), type 1s usually get their condition almost immediately due to the sudden pause of insulin production, which of course leads to high blood sugar levels. This is due to the autoimmune attack that happens which is not related to dietary issues, therefore, a lot of newly diagnosed type 1s are STILL very insulin sensitive. Hence why their insulin therapy is extremely effective at the beginning of their treatment. That's also why doctors might start with small doses of insulin, since there mostly is no issue with insulin resistance in the cells. Lastly on that, they might still make small amounts of insulin despite the antibody attack on the pancreas. So all summed up, most newly diagnosed type 1s are still insulin sensitive, therefore, getting some insulin in their system again is enough to stabilize their blood sugars. Now on why it's called a "phase" is simply because, with the use of external insulin which, even small doses might be high enough for the cells to start, gradually, becoming insulin resistant. I don't know exactly what the differences are in regulating pancreatic and external insulin, but, if no other steps are taken (changes in diet, exercise etc) the slight increase of insulin resistance will require more insulin to stabilize blood sugars. And unfortunately, higher levels of insulin lead to higher insulin resistance. It's a vicious cycle. However with the above mentioned lifestyle changes and a bit of help from drugs like Glucophage (Metformin), that help raise insulin resistance, this "honeymoon phase" could potentially last for years, maybe even indefinitely. Of course it would require a tremendous amount of effort and consistency from the person's end. That's why I think it's called that. On an end note, I would strongly suggest all of you to check out the book "Diabetes Solution" by Dr.Bernstein, an endocrinologist who has lived all through his almost 90s now, with Type 1 since the age of 12. @@terrilaughlin1121

I would like to add one more hack for type 2 :) it helped my dad when he found out that he had diabetes he had 16 mmol/l when he found out and within 6 months his blood sugar level went down to 7. My case was a bit more extreme, just after the new year I found out I have diabetes too, I had 23.4 (421) and now my morning sugar levels are between 5.5 and 6.0 (99 - 108) without taking any medications. So the recipe was taken from one of the Chinese clinics that deal with diabetes. Take 100 grams of ginger, squeeze 2 lemons, and add 3 big tablespoons of cinnamon and 2 liters of water, blend it all together, and let it rest in the fridge overnight in a fridge. Drink 2 deciliters 15 to 30 minutes before a meal. After 6 months if your blood sugar goes down reduce it to 1 deciliter before a meal for the next 6 months otherwise continue with 2 deciliters for another six months. And after 1 year you should stop drinking it.

Last aug[23] I was diagnosed with A1C 6.4 and glucose 124 since then have been doing everything right cutting out sugar eating a lot of good fat, eating protein and fat and yet my blood sugar readings stubborn in the morning at 110-112. I had thought 1-2 beers wouldnt affect that but I was wrong. After stopping the beer the last 2 mornings BS readings of 97 and 93. I have also lost 35 lbs and go for brisk walks , my age 78 . Intend to see my Dr and get tested again early april. The look on his face might be rather "Priceless". Even had a few peanuts after dinner and I wondered how much that would affect readings but it had no affect , but you do have to use some caution as nuts add up both calories and carbs.

[@anitastokar98]

Not saying that an insulin pump is the only way to control dawn phenomena, but for me getting a pump helped me tremendously in two ways compared to MDI. I always went too low when on MDI when exercising, and I always had dawn phenomena and went too high when on MDI. Using a pump, I can decrease my basal insulin to help me not go too low when exercising and I increase my basal starting about 3:00am to help me wake up with blood sugars usually about 97-110. If you aren't on a pump and can get one with insurance, I think you will find that to be a good bet. Good luck.
