Good video Tyler. As you know, Broccoli, cucumber, salad do have carbs. You are discovering the power of low-carb, and that's great. However, you do need some insulin for proper body function. Even good carbs and protein are going to elevate blood sugar. Please, please get continue to eat low-carb, and use some insulin to keep that blood sugar under 150 after meals!!! 200 is bad!

KenDBerryMD our 16 year old son is type 1 diabetic and is in his honeymoon stage.. he is doing very low carb diet and little to no insulin for the past two weeks. The highest his blood sugar has gotten is like 180 after eating 30 carbs which isn’t normal for us. Usually he does omad and only eats around 10-20 carbs a day. His blood sugar is staying in line perfect to where it needs to be all day even in the mornings. Is this a safe process for him to continue?

When your body is used to having carb-heavy meals and you suddenly take away all the carbs, your body thinks your food sources are insufficient and kicks stored glucose into your system to keep your blood levels up. You need to adjust your endocrine system. You also had lots of protein with not enough fats to level it out. Protein converts to carbs several hours after eating and spikes you. (I've had T1D for 12 years and have used variations of low carb diets.)

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 34 years with an onset at age 19. Since I went clean Keto, my blood sugars have been near non-diabetic levels and my insulin requirements are down substantially. I also entered into the Keto way of eating after a 3 day fast, which I think is key to get rid of all the stored sugar in your liver and muscles so you can begin burning fat as a fuel source. As I look at your plate of bacon and eggs (one of my personal favorites), you're eating too much protein. Protein does convert to carb, but a a very slow rate so it takes longer to realize the spike. Eat one meal a day and eat more HEALTHY fats, which have almost no BS impact. Good luck!!!!

Hi honey! As a type one we need to take insulin to keep our blood sugar under 150 unless it’s going to drop naturally from activity. So it’s important to plan for correction carbs & insulin adjustments around your own schedule. A type one diabetic cannot remove insulin completely through diet change like a type 2 diabetic can. Great job on the low carb! Eggs are 1 carb each and those calculations are great to learn about. You will not need much insulin with lower carb or no carb, but you will find what works best for you through practice and experience. Watch out for opinion and the old style of diabetic advice. The high carbs are not mandatory so meat and eggs are great for health. Doctors and dieticians are catching up but it’s taking a bit of time for everyone to catch on to things like gluconeogenesis and hope the body runs more efficiently on fat and nutritional ketones. The type one community as well as society in general can get a little fear based with the past forty years of teachings on fat, cholesterol, vegetables and so on. Just use your cgm and how you feel to calculate what is going in there and hopefully a low carb doctor can join you in the ongoing education of life. ❤ You’re already ahead of most! I’ll include an interview that helps with understanding this a bit better as I’m not equipped to teach. But leaning about it sure is interesting. Stay curious honey!

That dawn phenomenon is no joke. I am extremely tight on my keto diet. I almost lean a bit closer to carnivore but still try to get those micronutrients (cauliflower/broccoli). I can attest to much of this as I even fast 18 hours per day (only eat between 3pm and 9pm). So... I go to bed between 80-95 most nights. Wake up - 170-190. I usually drop in a fast acting upon waking (5-8 units) and it comes back down after a bit. My keto meals still require 3-5 units. When I don't, my BG will go up to 150-180 after a couple hours. The real takeaway here is that us T1Ds can drastically reduce our insulin needs and maintain healthy levels. AND healthy bodyfat percentages (more insulin = more fat gain). This week I plan on starting a split on the lantus (basal) and see if that works. I have only hesitated because I know it means that I will have to go through an adjustment period. Either way... Thanks for posting this. I hope it helps a lot of other T1Ds out there to at least see that there are options available that may help maintain better control with less insulin needed.

@nataliasanchez58753 жыл бұрын
Hi! In my opinion the method it helped me to keep blood sugar good in the morning is skipping the breakfast: stop having breakfast in the morning! and eat later. That is called "interval fasting" and is working really good for me as a diabetic type 1 like you. In the morning your liver is puting some glucose in the blood to make you wake up and to "start" the day. That is because hormones such as glucagon, cortisol or adrenaline go high in the morning and produce this reaction in your body (blood sugar going up!). If you have breakfast, even without carbohydrates or low carb, that is not going to help recover from high blood sugar. So when you wake up and your blood sugar is too high, correct it with some Bolus insulin and skip breakfast! Then when your body doesn't have this stress anymore from high blood sugar, you can have some low carb meal at noon or (better) later (at 1 pm, 2pm...).Maybe you think "I can't stand it without breakfast". I thought it as well... BUT! YOU'LL GET USED TO IT VERY SOOON! Eating keto (no carbs or very low, healthy fats and a bit of protein) and doing interval fasting at the same time are the key to not get hungry! you won't ! because the fat is going to keep you fulled / satiated. The carbohydrates are the BIG problem for diabetics type 1, your blood sugar goes up so fast like in a roll coaster and then goes down fast! hipoglucemia (low blood sugar) happens really often, then you eat because you want to solve the hipoglucemia and then blood sugar goes up really fast! and it is like a circle without any end... you will stop this problem by doing keto diet (low carb or no carb) + interval fasting. Just try for some time and make a video! ;) Ah! Please try to keep your sugar under 200 ... that's too high, just correct it with some bolus... but don't let it go down by "itself"... just inject some bolus. I know doctors say that after eating having blood sugar value of 200 or higher is "normal", but it is NOT!! that's destroying your organs, body nerves, ... and of course! don't forget to inyect Basal insulin, you need it although you are not eating anything! but you'll probably going to need less if you start doing keto + interval fasting. Good luck!

I hope you start giving your insulin. I've been a type 1 diabetic for 50 yrs and have done a lot of experimenting with different diets. I agree eating a low carb diet is good but you're not eating a 0 carb diet. I'm on the carnivore diet myself and believe it's best despite of what my doctors and nutritionists say. An endocrinologist taught me a long time ago that 60% of the ounces in protein that you eat equals the amount of carbs you would be eating. Example: a 30oz steak time 60% equals 18 carbs. Depending on your body, (EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT), you would give the appropriate amount of insulin for 18 carbs. 3 large boiled eggs is 18 grams of protein which would be 10.8 grams of carbs. I'm in my 60's and it takes more insulin because I'm pretty sedentary. You would probably burn much more calories than I. Do some experimenting but don't go running around with high blood sugars and not giving any insulin, PLEASE! I commend you though for thinking outside the box. Good luck!!

Hi@@TylerSpeers! I learned the 60% rule in the 90s from an Endocrinologist. Everybody is different though, you might need a different rule. If your BG is running in the los 100s you're doing great! That's where mine are. I'm shooting to get my A!C into the mid 5 range but they're hanging around the low 6 range right now. I recently started using a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). if you're not familiar with them you might check them out. You can watch your blood sugars all day long. I set the alarm on it if my BG runs below 80 or above 180. This helps a lot especially when you're sleeping. You can use these also to adjust how much insulin certain foods need by watching the CGM like a hawk.

Now with a no carb diet and the 780G by Medtronic, my blood sugar is 100% on track most days. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it. I take 2 units for carb free meals, because I would still have high blood sugar otherwise (unless I'm being super active). I have had type 1 diabetes since I was 9, and now I'm 40 years old. :-) The new algorithm that Medtronic has just come up with is the only thing that has ever worked for me.

Interesting experiment. Do you think you have some "honeymoon" beta cell function after 4 years, since you stayed relatively stable? Glad you mentioned that people need to at least take their long-acting basal. And that's definitely true if you are doing lower carb long term. Protein raises my glucose like around 3 hours later, and veggies are usually raising within about 45 minutes. I just try to avoid all of the other carbs. And if I'm up over 115, I take some more basal and also do exercises till it drops down. Basal takes about 4 hours to kick in, but exercise -- specifically muscle-contracting exercises can lower glucose regardless of insulin; and muscle contractions combined with adequate insulin is like a multiplying factor. Science.

once protein is denatured in the liver, the other non-nitrogen part of protein is metabolised in the same way as carb. no insulin means that blood sugars will eventually rise. for fat adaption in an athlete, one has to reduce carb and wean down insulin needs, including long acting insulin. I fast one day in the week an I still take long acting insulin though I reduce my long acting dose for the night. I'm currently weaning my long acting as I reduce my carb intake as part of weight management. for me, the key is to go slow, never stop taking L.A but slowly reduce the dose as weight comes down and I eat less.

Lots of things make your sugar go up like stress, exercise and not to mention your liver makes glucose throughout the day. Cant avoid insulin altogether plus long lasting insulin. I recommend the dexcom cgm for better control and kudos in the low carb. I've been type 1 for 21 years. Also never had a seizure nor went keto even when I havent been a good diabetic. The cgm brought my a1c down several points though.

I'd say follow everything you said here but still monitor and take insulin to anyone else reading this. Your video brings me much positivity,I'm glad there's channel's like this out there.

A Brisk 1 and 1/2 Mile Walk will lower a blood sugar 75 to a hundred points and would have been ideal after that breakfast. I sometimes have had twice the amount of bacon as well as a couple cups of Starbucks and three eggs and then walked a mile and a half to 2 mi and get home to check my blood sugar and find that it has dropped 75 to a hundred points. This is just food for thought no pun intended😉 -type 1 since 1990.

That much amount of blood sugar in your blood will start to damage the body tissues. Only taking lomg acting insulin won't help you. Long acting insulin like lantus doesn't drop your blood sugar like regular insulin. Lantus simply works by stopping your liver or fat storage to release glucose in your blood.

Unless I am very stressed or eat more carbs I never get near 200. Type 1 here...

I recommend looking at Dr. Richard Bernstein's method. Bottom line - protein should be covered by Regular insulin, which is slower than Rapid insulin (given that the meal has a bit of s/low carb - veggies). And if the Basal is split into 2 doses, you can also tackle the dawn phenomena. Dr. Bernstein truly hits the nail on the head.
@liammcdonagh18244 жыл бұрын
I am a great fan of Bernstein's work but as with anything in type 1 it has to be personalized and we have lost sight of this in type 1 & this is worrying. Whatever brings a type 1 into excellent control should be what they do not following any diet or approach without question. I use his approach as a framework and he also in his own way advocates this which is why i respect him. There are those who will do what he suggests even if it doesn't work but don't sway from his 'diet'. Type 1 is like a new discovery everyday-eat a specific food and test what happens and then make your decision to eat it or not based on what happens. I have some very wacky ones such as I can drink milk but cant eat natural yogurt -in theory this shouldn't be the case but I have always said type 1 and theory aren't the best of buddies lol. Hope you continue to do well using this approach and stay well in the future. best wishes

Great video... Emphasis on that your blood needs to have insulin... Your brain and some other organs cannot use the glucose without insulin... Another thing is if these organs specially your brain get to the point where they are hungry for glucose your body will automatically raise the glucose in response and also produce ketone bodies which are the primary cause of DKA ... So a tight control with basal bolus regiment is a better way of managing than a single bolus specially in insulin depandant dm.. Really happy to see you sharing your experience.

Remember to up your fats, and keep your proteins at a low moderate. To much proteins will cause your liver to convert the protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis, hence you won't get fat adapted (which is the entire goal of a keto diet). Only when your liver is starved with glucose, your body will start burning fat cells (ketones) as fuel. As far as your meals go, it's pretty much the same message again. You need more fat! Your breakfast is the best one, although you could up your fats even more by adding some butter to your eggs. Remember that the fat renders from bacon as you cook it, which makes it basically all proteins. You could also try removing some of the egg whites as it contains no fats at all. Lunch is basically carbs and proteins, as again the fat renders from the bacon. (not saying there is a lot of carbs, but compared to the amount of fat in that meal it's too much) Dinner is the same story. Not trying to be unnecessarily critical, but a high fat content is paramount to this diet working for you. Wish you the best!!

A client of mine, her husband said to look at Living proof on Netflix. This provides a context as to why asea would have dis information as to its efficacy. The Living proof documentary shows how someone with muscular wastage reversed her condition with diet alone, the research that was undertaken and how the medical professionals tried to discredit their information that reversed their muscular medical problem. I know it’s not diabetes but ........ it’s all about cell signalling which keeps us all healthy. That’s if it’s for real which is what I’m going to check out.
