BLOOD SUGAR: THE BASICS | Nutrition 101 Ep. 3

[@kristiharris5636]

As a Type 1 diabetic for 18 years, I SO much appreciate the little explanation you gave about the difference in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. I've truly loved watching your videos!

[@Melanotia07]

When she asked “does that make sense”, i nodded so hard. Ty for the info. ❤️

[@sabrinacaudillo2590]

Being a type 1 diabetic, I was very nervous and skeptical that you weren't going to specify or properly tell the difference between type 1 & type 2 diabetes because they are COMPLETELY different in causes and management. Thank you so much for properly educating everyone on the difference between type 1 and type 2. Mostly everybody gets it wrong. It's nice to finally have someone explain it right. Thanks again 💙

[@ktrain1165]

I don't often comment, but as a type 1 diabetic I appreciate you mentioning T1D. Not a lot of people take the time to explain the difference to people and it is sometimes frustrating to explain my situation to the same people over and over again. Type 1 has been getting a lot more coverage in the past few years or so, so thank you so much for being a part of that. I also learned more about myself from this video, and I've had T1D for a little over 20 years now! Thank you Becca, I love this series so much. It is really helping me a lot!

[@allyssarobinson7983]

This is a great video! I’m currently struggling with being pre diabetic and high cholesterol ! It’s very stressful because I feel like I never know what to eat! But I love watching you health videos!!

[@katherine5308]

I had gestational diabetes and now at higher risk of getting type 2. That’s because I was at my thinnest when I was pregnant. Now I’m trying to be preventive as well as eat mindfully. I don’t want diabetes! You explained it so well and made it easy to understand. I did really well by controlling my GD through diet, meaning just eating in moderation and like you said, had my carbs with protein and fats. Then I went CRAZY after giving birth, 7 months later and I’ve gained 15 lbs and having trouble stepping away from large amounts of candy, fries, pizza. But I’m determined to keep myself under control and not get type 2.

My husband keeps cracking up and all of the random digestion knowledge I keep throwing down at the dinner table! Thank you for all of these great videos!

[@XDAlishaG]

I don't normally comment on videos, but I just had to say this. You have no idea how much I appreciate these videos! I have been binge-watching this series of yours. You are so knowledgeable, and you make these topics so easy to understand. This is everything I dreaded learning in school because they would make these topics long and boring. Your videos are extremely helpful and informative, and you've inspired me to become a nutritionist. Please don't stop making these. Thank you!!

[@gabrielalupu4797]

I could not thank you enough for making this series. I actually graduated med school and honestly if my teachers would have explained like you did med school would have been more easy and fun to learn. Thank you!

[@suz0222]

Stumbled upon your channel several months ago, and I love walking away from each video feeling as if I've truly learned something! I'd love to see a video talking about the science behind coffee - pros and cons to drinking it regularly.

[@TheBlueeyedangel713]

FINALLY someone who explains all of this information in a way that I can understand. Huge thank you! I just found your channel and I'm loving what I've seen so far!

[@jigglypuff4ever]

This is the first time someone has been able to explain this clearly and concisely to me!

[@angelgallardo]

Awsome! Great video. Very well explained. I'm lucky I don't have any problems with sugar, I used to put a lot of it in my coffe and my tea and Cool Aid when I was much younger. It's a good thing I got myself to do research and find out what sugar can do to your body. I hardly ever drink a soda or have sugar with my coffe or tea nowdays. Once again great job on your videos!

[@sheilaturner23]

Thank you so much for making these awesome educational videos!

[@mollykate9656]

Such great content. I learned so much, thanks Becca!

[@cassieann532]

Recently subscribed while trying to get info on developing a healthier lifestyle & I really enjoy your videos. Please keep posting! You truly inspired me to make healthier choices! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are helping so many people.

[@k.d.j9020]

Love these nutrition 101's! Such great content and clearly explained!

[@RoutinenReich]

This is the first time I've ever understood the thing about blood sugar and what insulin does, and also what it really means to eat a balanced meal (in terms of what happens then). Thank you so much for this explanation! I love your videos :)

[@maddiflexy1]

This video is seriously the most helpful thing I’ve watched/read about blood sugar. Thank you!

[@fabiana21031]

Thank you Becca for this video! I just got diagnosed with hypoglycemia because my liver isn‘t working right. I am struggling with the food I can eat to avoid having low blood sugar. This video helped me to understand how our organism is working. Thank you and greetings from Germany

[@megdvs21]

Your channel has helped me so much this yr in my efforts to control the amount and types of sugars\carbs I eat and the combinations of other nutrients I eat in combination with my sugars and carbs, my digestion and energy levels have improved drastically since I’ve started better controlling the sugars in my diet through not only minimizing processed sugars but also increasing my fiber and protein and fat I’ve actually had the energy to start excersinibg again, like you I do not and did not cut out any foods but I am much more scrutinizing of what types of sugars I eat how much of them I eat ( awareness if HIDDEN SUGARS ) I still eat desserts when I want them but don’t want them nearly as often or as much other the ( portion size ) I am so enjoying your channel and find it so helpful in terms of balanced meal and snack ideas and helping me realize I can eat more than I was and have the foods I really enjoy in the right portions and combinations with other foods

[@maryak]

Thank you so much for doing this. I found out this year that I have insulin resistance and I am just so overwhelmed with all the different articles online and all the things I'm "supposed" to do to fix it! The only problem is that each thing I read counteracts the last thing I read!! So confusing :(. But I'm glad you're doing this to help prevent others from getting to this stage.

[@rosemariebongiorno9025]

This was absolutely incredible information and I have quite a few people to share this with. Thank you so much for your knowledge and expertise!

[@emilyknight9179]

Thanks Becca! I am currently working on cutting most sugar from my diet. Sweet tea and chocolate are my drugs 😯 I have felt so crappy coming off of it but I know that I will feel better after a few weeks

[@Theestherborg]

Hi Becca! I'm studying to be a nurse at the moment, and we're studying the pancreas right now and this was sooooo useful! Thank you so so much

[@Melanotia07]

Omg i never understood nutrition before no matter how hard i tried. You are a perfect teacher, seriously thank you so much.

[@Paradoxicalenigma620]

Very informative! I love the way you explain things so it's understood by the masses but still very scientific and technical. Great job!

[@rikketakera]

You are a great teacher. Also just super inspiring ☀️

[@bryannaweigel9581]

This was sooo great! And you didn’t make anything complicated either. Thank you! For sure going to be more conscious of not just eating straight carbs

[@shannon8394]

Super informative! Best explanation of blood sugar I've come across!

So informative! Keep the videos coming! xx

[@melissasawyer1323]

[@smj3099]

Fantastic explanation of blood sugar and insulin. Makes more sense now. Thank you!

[@ivi122]

Can you please make a video on foods that are bad if your sugar might be high and also top foods to eat that lower glucose?

[@brietoujours1343]

This is so helpful and was useful to a friend who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Can you do a video like this for high blood pressure ?

[@halleberry645]

[@ivi122]

[@JulieDiana1992]

[@samoooon]

Love this series! Do you have any recommendations for online certifications in health/nutrition? There are so many out there and it's tough to tell which ones will actually give you the education you're looking for.

[@emilycatherine2530]

I love this series so much!!! I was starting to think I was the only one who loved fibre and digestion! Also, I love your lamp in the back, do you have a link where we could purchase one?!

[@gabihuggins5042]

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

Love that you have the basics for those who want a little background on nutrition 💙 Spread that nutrition love, girl! Hope one day we can collaborate on a nutrition video 😁

[@shellfonez]

such a great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge! what are your thoughts on intermittent fasting if you are still eating the same amount of calories in that period? i'm so confused about the research that shows that it's better for you to fast so you aren't spiking blood sugars/insulin all throughout the day versus the fact that it's good for you to keep a steady pace of eating every few hours? genuinely confused, thank you!!

[@tigerheartxlover]

Very Informative and easy to understand

[@tigerheartxlover]

Can please give some info on how to reverse insulin resistance or Reduce weight rapidly

[@kaitlynobrien7863]

Hi Becca! Can you do a video on the Low Fodmap diet? My doctor suggested it to me and I'm so confused about what it is!

[@cmwishon]

So fresh fruit is good? Even if it is high in Carbs...since is it high in fiber as well it balances? So many things I have seen steers me away from fruit? This is difficult, but I will try and get a handle! Thank you for your informative videos! I love them!

[@lisamedeiros7581]

Thank you, very imformative series health viedo s

[@AnaCristina-yf4nx]

Thank you so much this was so interesting!

[@kierstianaseay6690]

Very well put for both those who do and don't understand the basics! Thanks Becca!So what is your throught on juicing based from the content of this video? I know a lot of people stand behind it and push it as "good nutrition", but I've always had my opinion that it's not that great for you. However, I haven't had much free time to research it further for actual facts and evidence. From this video, I would assume, that by taking away the fiber, this would definitely spike blooded sugar? (Not to mention the "ruffage" is beneficial!) And especially if you're replacing multiple meals throughout the day with only juices? Just curious on your input. I'm a college student on the RD track at my university (:

[@katrinalynn5093]

hey! just based off of my past knowledge, smoothies are in a way better than juices.. not saying anything is wrong with juicing as i buy some from time to time, but smoothies have everything in it, the entire fruit/vegetable, rather than only its sugar. My mom has type 1 diabetes, and this is what she told me when I was younger and I have found research that defends that point as well! But again, nothing is bad for you, everything in moderation

[@kierstianaseay6690]

I had a professor in my first year of college for Health Education that really advocated "juicing"... for like a month... like doing a cleanse with juices. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was still very new in my Nutrition/Dietetics studies at the time and I barely grasped the basics, but I just thought that there was something about it that didn't seem right. Like you said, every thing is okay in moderation! Which I am a true believer in. But after watching this, it makes even more sense as to why it is a bad idea to "cleanse" with juices. Fad Diets really "irk" me, (for lack of better words), and I've always found this one really interesting. Don't get me wrong, smoothies can be bad for you too, depending on what you put in them! But generally, they're obviously slightly better if you're health conscious. Just crazy to me that someone who clearly doesn't know anything about how that concept would affect your body, yet is advocating it so much and unfortunately influencing others. Anywho, thanks for the reply!

[@maceyrickard6836]

I am type 2 sugar is confuseing when I have hypos I have choclate with no effect then I tried out of desperation tomatoe sorce sandwitch almost instant rise. Pasta allways give me bad test results should I try to eliminate starchy carbs and elevate my fiberous carbs to compensate

[@sylviag3576]

Has anyone mentioned how much you look like Katie Pavlich, aka Katie Kaboom? Fox news reporter, smart and beautiful, you could be sisters. My husband has type 2 diabetes and needs a reminder of how to control it, I think he will enjoy watching your videos.

[@ashleysilber7867]

Great content, thanks for sharing! I wish I could motivate some family members with unmanaged type 2 diabetes to change their diets!

[@user-do2ds4bt4l]

This is great! Thank you

[@littlegiant101]

thank you for ur videos, they've really help me tryin to stay healthy

I wish you were my professor when I was still studying nutrition

[@ecstaticbutter9164]

I love this series 😄😄

[@itzellopez9476]

I love how informative you are in these videos. #happilynerdingout😁

[@HighTideSoaps]

Woah, learned a lot! Could you make a video on a healthy diet for weight loss, but a lifestyle change instead of a yo-yo style diet that can’t be maintained long term? With a meal plan? That would be very helpful as I try to lose weight and keep it off. 💕

[@BeccaBristow]

I have video i 5 tips for weight loss - that's very focused on making changes for the long term :) Also, I don't make meal plans because well, you can't be on a meal plan forever! Finding what works for your body specifically is the key to long-term success & satisfaction :)

[@VentureTherapyColorado]

So helpful!!!

[@JulieDiana1992]

God maybe this is why I've been so tired all the time! I notice I always go for carbs and sometimes overdo it. I'm not a big fan of meat so I need to come up with more protein options

[@spottedbybarbie]

I think its hard to balance your blood sugar levels on a vegan or plant based diet. thats why i started incorporating fish

[@Twilanator]

such a good video

[@lascrucesnm411]

We need PFF: protien, fat, and fiber. 😁😄😃😀
