I’m a type diabetic for over 25 yrs and your red,yellow and green has been the most helpful information I’ve received in quite some time, thank you

[@kholcomb1967]

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the educational, personal experience videos you share. I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 1968 when I was 15 months old. Today I have had T1 for over 57 years, and I am healthier than I have ever been. I have been on the internet since the internet began... And I have never appreciated the T1 advice being given to the public until I found your videos. So thank you again for what you do.

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thank you so much for your kind words. If I can ask, what is it that makes you appreciate the content I provide?

[@kholcomb1967]

@@TypeOneTalks I appreciate the way you can take medical terminology and nutritional information and translate it in to layman's terms for those who are just learning. I've been doing this since there was nothing more than a diet-by-sliding scale. And for years now I have been counting carbs - but I never understood the glycemic index until I watched your videos. That says a lot for your ability to make context easy for EVERYONE to understand. ❤ When you show your own personal experience BG grafts = Fabulous. Simply, you make everything from Insulin Pumps, CGMs or Vegetables easy to understand.

The way the video explains food choices while managing diabetes is both insightful and practical. I love the simple 'green, yellow, and red bowl' categorization-it’s so easy to understand and apply.

[@palmcoast35]

He's not telling you what you can't eat. He is showing you examples of what spikes his sugar as a diabetic stage 1. He understands everyone is different and what doesn't spike your sugar spikes someone else's. Moderation doesn't work for everyone, therefore the content he is providing gives us a better understanding of trigger foods that might spike our sugar. These examples are extremely helpful to all looking to control their sugar spikes or looking to prevent diabetes due to a family history. I and many others appreciate his content.

Sure, you're not a doctor BUT you provide genuine information that actually makes a difference. Doctors can help the sick but they need people to develop health issues so that they can stay in business. You, on the other hand, want people to become well without charging anyone. Doctors will hate you for telling people how to become well because you are literally decreasing the number of their patients.

Dietitian here. Bananas are a tricky food, because when they are greenish they are low on the glycemic index and rich in resistant starch and prebiotic fiber, which help slow down the absorption of the sugar. But the more ripe they become, the higher the glycemic index. Also if you balance fruit or any carbohydrate with protein and/or fat helps with blood sugar regulation.

[@fredrichmulwa6792]

indeed

[@johnquartieri5141]

Can also eat them whole

[@Bluebell117]

And take cider apple vinegar 30 mins before you eat - it lowers blood sugar spikes

[@andrealynnwinchester9156]

Pro tip- slice and freeze bananas when just slightly green-Lower on the GI and freezing them creates more resistant starch

[@jamesgarner2103]

diabetics should not be eating bananas. not just because they are high in sugar, but because diabetics already have high potassium levels, and the additional amount could harm their heart and kidneys.

[@sheila7814]

Thank you for going into such detail. I thrive on details. Your videos are the best!

[@TypeOneTalks]

Thank you so much!

[@fradesjo]

I want to add in something. I think food's corellation with blood sugar is quite subjective to each individual. I and my friend have type 2 diabetes. Our condition is quite similar. Normal blood sugar is around 100 - 130. Fasting blood glucose is 110-120. We once tried eating the same food with same condition. With empty stomach in the morning, we both ate 2 bananas at the same time. In 1 hour, mine spike 50 points while his is only 20 points. On the next day, we try sweet potato. Empty stomach. Mine spiked only 25 points, while his soared 70 points. Each body is different. That's why CGM is highly recommended so we can find out how our body reacts to certain food without relying solely on general medical advice. Without CGM, I woud never dare eat sweet potato. After knowing it "only" spikes me a little, I have begin to add it moderately into my diet

[@l.1273]

Agreed. My friend and I both have type two and like you and your friend we tested the effects of different foods on ourselves with very different results. The glycemic index for me is a waste of time. The only way to know how a food affects me is to eat it and test. But…when and how that’s done also matters. For example putting fat in my stomach first slows everything down and there is less of a spike. With that known I can eat an ice cream bar if the fat and carbs are about the same as they almost balance out. Normally I can handle 12g of carbs at a time but if I eat a lot of fat at the same time I can eat more carbs. But I can’t eat the carbs first, that’s a no-no, as I’d have a stiff spike then. So it’s not just the food but when and what’s it’s mixed with and what order. Early on I used a lot of test strips to figure all this out and so don’t need to test as often now. About once a year or so I’ll do some double checking to make sure things are still the same. The glucose monitor is an invaluable tool.

50+ years of T1D experience here, and I confirm your video by my own conclusions. Regarding spinach: eating calcium-rich foods like cheese along with high-oxalate foods such as spinach can help reduce the risk of kidney stones. Calcium binds with oxalate in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream and then excreted through the kidneys where it can form stones. I love spinach, but a good diet should always be varied.

[@BillGreenAZ]

There's an evolutionary reason bright fruits generally have a high sugar content. First of all, fruits evolved to taste good because when they are dispersed they don't have to compete for resources with other seeds. So the sweeter fruits were eaten by animals which dispersed the seeds. The sweeter the fruit, the more they were eaten and the more they were dispersed. Then, when a fruit is brighter it gets noticed by animals more and gets eaten more and dispersed more. So the brighter fruits became sweeter.

I discovered this bread a few months ago and want to share it, I am not sure if it is available everywhere though. It's Sara Lee Delightful White Made With Whole Grain, serving size 2 slices, carbs per serving 18g, fiber 6g, sugar 2g and total fat 1g.

I love Sara Lee whole wheat bread; I use it on chicken salad sandwiches; Yummy!
