🔴 Can The Carnivore Diet Be A Good Treatment For Diabetes?

[@hocheefatt2974]

Because of you Dr Chaffee my health has made a complete turnaround for the better. I do steak and eggs only....strictly NO CARBS. Avacado and Special Cheeses once in awhile just to add spice to my life Thanks to you my blood work is beyond expectations... With High LDL Low triglycerides High HDL Cheers!... From Malaysia

I had type ll diabetes for 9 years, and was treated with Rx Metformin bd, and after starting carnivore diet just over 11 X months ago, I no longer have diabetes and no longer require any Rx medication. My diet also cured my 42 years of hypertension, and no longer require Rx antihypertensive medications. Carnivore works for me. I'm a retired NZ RN, and was never taught that this diet could impact either of those serious long term diseases.

Hey that’s fantastic news 🥳 Thanks for taking the time and informing us all 🙏 I’ve just begun, actually from a Keto diet with tons of veggies daily . . . so I am still getting use to the change, but so far so good. I love the simplicity of it and the benefits so far have really convinced me that I’m on the right track. Anyone reading this should know, there will be some issues to deal with (digestive mainly, possible oxalate dumping) so do a little research on how to deal with these. Mainly adjusting your fat to protein ratio and possibly slowing down the oxalate dump with drinking tea or other plants with minimal oxalates, so you’re not changing your system from 100 - 0. This should slow it down gradually, so your body can eliminate them without any drastic issues (aka kidney stones, steys, oxalate crystals building up in joints). I personally never think about the foods/ drinks I eliminate, I’m just so grateful and excited about how delicious the food is that I do consume. Steak, any sort of beef & lamb, butter, tallow, eggs (mainly the yokes) due to my personal health issues, fish, chicken, pork, deer, elk, dairy (but not so often), salt and a little cayenne-pepper (my only addiction 😋) have to have! I’ve even started eating more sardines lately and I’m feeling the omega-3 helping my dry eyes. Just really liberating how adjusting your food intake, one to one, can heal your body. Oh yeah, intermittent fasting just automatically happens because this diet is sooo satiating! 1-2 meals a day gives me all the fuel I need. Sleep, work, exercise have all improved. Give it a go folks! You won’t regret it.

[@coffeemachtspass]

That’s great to hear. I’m giving a class presentation this month to an Anatomy and Physiology class on CKD. One of my classmates lost her mother to CKD. She insists that it was blood pressure-related, and I don’t want to be overbearing about it, but I suspect her mom had undiagnosed diabetes and hyperinsulinemia that elevated the b/p.

Carnivore plus intermittent fasting saw me lose stubborn middle aged weight (carrying 7kg too much) surprisingly quickly.

Shared this terrific story. I really hope more people start doing this -- for their health and a better way of living. Started doing this in January 2024 and now ten months in, feeling overall great. Zero regrets. 🤗

[@yvonnenaslund1136]

Starten Carnivore in August. I have type2 diabetes, and I got more and more medication, couldnt take metformin anymore, got jardiance and lived in the bathroom, got repaglinid instead and and spent just a little less time there. got ozempic instead of victosa i and felt worse and worse. I was about to get insulin, but as an obese person I thought that would cause my very early death of overwight. Now I have lost 15 kilos, slowly now. Last 3 months I don't take any medication for type 2 diabetes, still I have longterm bloodsugar on 42 (in Sweden Dont know how to translate your scales.) I used to have 56-60. Im very happy about this of course! It is just one thing I find a bit strange. Every time I eat som carbs, I know I shouldn't and it rarely happens, I loose more weight. It may be that I couldn't recist a small piece of Dark chocolate or a piece of Apple. Since I dont take any diabetes medicin I can't get away much with cheeting and mostly I don't have the need. What happens in my body when I cheet? Why do I loose a kilo, instead of 100 of grams?😮

[@mikerudd4943]

The trick...is finding what "high fat" means. Especially for YOU...I have stage 4 and It has taken me a long time to figure out what is the right amount

[@katrinjl0103]

What's your actual ratio right now?

[@mikerudd4943]

@katrinjl0103 i couldn't yell you exactly, as steak isn't measured. But the ground beef is 73/27. And I eat fatty beef ribs a lot. I mostly keep track of my bowels. Too loose means PERHAPS too much fat. And vice versa. My butter intake and heavy cream have radically gone up. It seems my body has learned to accept more fat.

[@katrinjl0103]

@mikerudd4943 thanks for your response. Have a blessed day!

Hi Nancy, Has carnivore ever disrupted your circadian rythym?

[@nancygorham5908]

@kennethdavis7729 I'm not sure I'd recognize a change.

[@JimJam-x6t]

I done my blood sugar level test this morning (with blood not a sensor) and came out 6.7. I've not consumed sugar or carbs in 4 months. I did this to prove to my dad who's a diabetic that he has nothing to worry about it when it comes to animal fats and carnivore.

[@nataliegist2014]

It did mine.

Children and their parents will respect your (paediatrician) opinion. You should give them sound advice, don’t let them off the hook. They hear so much garbage via media, you can make a huge difference. 🌸💕🇦🇺

I think some of the Doctors who advocate for carnivore should be given the chance to work with Trump in his health Administration!.

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

That would be amazing now!!

Still in the 5s club currently. Was Dx prediabetic 3 years ago. Controlled with no meds, ketovore diet mainly. Currently 5 feet, 158 lbs cuz I continue doing keto “treats” 🙁. Something I obvi need to work on…thx for info👏🏼

[@dmw18045]

Works for my husband... He's off all his meds.

[@IntrepidDivergence]

Obviously yes it can treat diabetes, thats a no brainer. I would prefer to see more videos addressing obscure diseases and non-metabolic conditions which may be relevant to less people, but still have significant value in providing examples of how this diet can treat diseases that are deemed "incurable".

[@jobrown8146]

This is very concerning: "Diabetes is one of those *life-long conditions* that places great burden on patients," Dr Ted Wu, Director, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Diabetes Centre. I found the above when looking up about the drug that has now been approved for PBS subsidy here in Australia - Sidapvia (Dapagliflozin & Sitagliptin).

I am on day 161 of the carnivore lifestyle and still have to take insulin periodically. I was Dx 'd T2, 21 years ago, and went on insulin about 19 years ago as I had allergic reactions to every other Rx prescribed to me. I've used a sliding scale to administer insulin. The highest A1C ever was 7.2 and and usually, it's 6.1. I was on ozempic (1 unit/week) for 2 years, 5 months, and quit it gradually over 14 weeks and have not used it since day 98. I can go up to 5 days without insulin and then will get a spike to 6.8, which I modify with insulin. I want to get off of it, but I guess time will tell.

[@southern-samurai]

6.8mmol/l? You need insulin for that? It's well within an acceptable range for blood sugar.

[@brucemckay6615]

@@southern-samurai”acceptable range” according to the medical community… when I was first diagnosed 41 years ago as T1D I was told the upper limit was 8.0… now its 10.0…. Because reasons??? I set my upper limit at 6.0…. To flatten the curve and keep the average low…. I have HbA1C of 4.8%/29. Much better place to live than having HbA1C over 6.0%…

[@jimw6659]

@@southern-samuraiHi. I’m pretty sure they’re talking about American / rest of the world measurements as a percentage figure, not mmol. 6.5% would be diabetic on that scale.

[@censured-again]

@brucemckay6615 You are basing your comment on WHO dictum. Please do some serious research on diabetes. ADA accepts money (donations) from Coca-Cola and other highly processed food manufacturers, as does its Canadian counterpart. On the other hand, maybe you enjoy consuming swill. That, however, is your choice.

I just downloaded the Australian Diabetes Society’s handbook for diabetes treatment with low carb. For a class presentation on CKD, I am working low-carb diets in as the centerpiece. Many of the students in the class are overweight at a young age and I’d like to give them the idea that there is another way than the one they’ve been taught to deal with poor health. Thanks, Dr. C.

[@DangerZone-w6y]

Your insulin resistance didnt just happen overnight, so be patient. A lot of damage has been done over the year of consuming all the sugars high carbs, highly processed foods - we've put a lot of toxic garbage food in to our system. By the time most of us reach 40.. it's now far more difficult for our amazing body to fight the damage..and so the triggers are kicking in.. and our health starts to take a toll. Yes you most likely can reverse a lot of the damage - everyone will respond differently and at different rates... some faster than other.. BUT HAVE TO DROP KICK THE GARBAGE FOOD THE CURB! While it's awesome that Trump will have RFK, jr running the health show and cleaning up some of the garbage agencies that are willing participants in the health destroying industry...DONT WAIT FOR HIM TO DO WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING..WHICH IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH.. DROP KICK THE GARBAGE FOOD THE CURB!

[@lovv2laff]

Question for anyone with insulin resistance. How long did it take you to reverse it? I've been 6 months on and first 3 months it improved (except my A1C went up) then my 6 month test, my A1C went up again to 6.1. And my triglycerides went up as well and my HDL went up, but only a couple points to 49. (Still not good) wondering if my IR is going to be more of a year process. And will my health get worse before it gets better?

[@billyjackwashburn6970]

I want to stay full Carnivore. Can't handle it due to hard stool. I have to keep straying away and coming back to keep it from killing me. I honestly believe full Carnivore would kill me if I didn't add honey or fruits occasionally.

[@karenbuchert3377]

Dr Chaffee says add more animal fat to soften stool material. Try that.

[@SOUTHAFRICANDAD]

Do you know any Canadian doctors in major cities around Canada who are good with low carb/carnivore?

[@pamelawalker8052]

I am noticing a lot of vegan podcasts popping up on U tube. They really push the spinach, yuck, Ill stick to Carnivore/Ketovore. Sometimes I like seasonal berries or my summer low carb vegetables as a side I grow my own. Its usually only in summer. I eat more animal fat in winter, I have found that higher amounts of protein and fat keep me warmer in winter

When you look it up to see if ketogenic diet has been upgraded to “best practice” in Australia, it says that it is not, are you able to show where it says that it was? Not a hater, just someone dealing with people who don’t believe that this diet works and always need proof

[@DangerZone-w6y]

If your PCP wont order the blood work..then go find another pcp.. Maybe look for a Naturopath...they are more often very in tune with a ketogenic/carnivore diet/lifestyle and understand these issues. Their academic training/education require them to do a far greater look at nutriton than the MD.. just a fact.
