Your words are golden. I used to be pre-diabetic, decided to “get real” and cut down on carbs and practice I/F. Now my A1C is 4.9. I’m off of statins and b.p. meds, and lots 120 lbs. You lecture was spot on! Hope the world was listening.

I have been following you and I am so thankful that I have found you! I have struggled with diabetes since 2008. At first they put me on metformin and about killed me. I also have Chrones disease. I had constant diarrhea on metformin! They told me to keep taking it and my body would adjust to it. I went for 148 to 104 lbs. in 3 months. They also said as long as you keep your a1c below 7.0 that I would be fine.😢. I stopped taking their medication and just did a diet off and on since. I have started a keto/carnavore diet since finding your videos and also I have made an appointment with you and can not wait to get started. Oh, and I do not want to lose weight. I am 5' 11" 118lbs. Thanks again for telling us the truth about our health.

The analogy with the legally acceptable blood alcohol levels is brilliant and brings into focus the misguided handling of diabetes by 99% of medical practitioners. It's a shame that most doctors think they are doing their jobs by reading blood labs wherein abnormal values are highlighted for them (and anyone with an IQ greater than a cauliflower) in that famous yikes column. Then their pharmaceutical reps then instruct them as to medication protocols. Kudos to Dr.Cywes for actually being what a Dr. is supposed to be, but rarely is.

I have discovered that, for me, the Carnivore diet worked for less than 6 months. My blood sugar wouldn't go below about 100 first thing in the morning - I was also doing OMAD. I had good success with Atkins, S. Beach and Keto for 17 years. The Carnivore regimen has helped me lose an additional 40 pounds, but then I stalled so I am back on a modified Keto program and doing better. I love your posts, Thank You.

OMAD may be giving you a too-large bolus of food at one time. You might do better on 2MAD. Too big of a “hit” in an already unhealthy body may be too much to take. An occasional OMAD day for IF purposes might be OK once or twice a week, but be too stressful on a daily basis. This is my hypothesis-best to ask Dr Cywes if he thinks it’s valid.

Just a subtle nuance to this, yes raised blood sugar damages blood vessels but high insulin on its own does too, evidenced by increased strokes and heart attacks in metabolic syndrome way before the blood sugar goes up. High insulin raises blood pressure by inhibiting nitrous oxide which dilates blood vessels and by directly causing sodium retention in the kidney. It also has a growth hormone effect on blood vessels and causes smooth muscle hypertrophy and it is pro inflammatory on its own without raised blood sugar. How much of vascular damage is caused by raised blood sugar and how much by raised insulin is not really known, but raised insulin alone can do plenty damage! Yes get the HbA1c down to 5.2 but also the fasting insulin and C Peptide down--they are both achieved in the same way, so one could argue that if HbA1c is 5.2 then insulin will be down too.

I have read and listened to any diabetes related media I could get hold of it. From deferent even opposite view from meditation to medication camp. And I can say I found your views , voice of reason. I am sure you’re pursuing some financial agenda as well and it’s your absolute right to do so . I’m 56 years old and I am dealing with diabetes for over 26 years. My father passed in worst way you can imagine because of that and I don’t want my kids see me like my father in my final days- you know. Anyway I finally had some breakthrough in November 2021 by listening to RIP Dr. Sara Hellburg. I stopped eating any carbs right away and I never looked back. Lots of things happened since then. I lost almost 50 lbs of my 240 lbs weight. No insulin injections no jardiance no BP med or Statin. No need CPAP. Still taking metformin. Walking 5 miles a day. Hiking like a goat or biking 50 miles if it is not raining. I’m in Seattle by the way. I could convince my insurance give me Dexcom g6 which I love it. My average Glucose for 90 days is 114 and lastLab A1C was 5.7 thanks for informing us.

Dr. C. Beginning HGA1C 6.5 I have been ketovore since June 2, 2021 (HGA1C 5.6), and basicly carnivore since Jan 1, 2023 less than 10 carbs a day, 80/20 most days. I do use a clilantro pesto for chelation because my biomet hip replacements are leaking. I do intermittant fasting most days with 1 or 2 meals a day. I am rather sedate due to atrial fib. I am 70 yo, 267 lb, 5'10". I had Hep C ( just finished Mavyret) with complication of cirrhosis of the liver and an enlarged spleen. My blood sugars are 140 to 170 when I wake up and I check them again in the evening and they average between 103 and 121. I have been obese since childhood and was very active most of my life. I am wanting to get at least some of this weight off because I met a brilliant young doctor who will do my hip refurbishment if I can get my BMI below 35. I have tried to contact you but I am in Idaho near Stanley.

Nor do I drink sugar drinks. The various aspects of nutrition and movement are all important. Thanks Doc.

Excess protein - gluconeogenesis.. glucose storage in the muscles - Exercise is critical for me, with a meat & eggs carnivore lifestyle.

I am panicking and need help! This video resonated with my problem. I am (almost) 66yo female, eating low carb, then Keto for the past 3+ years. Diagnosed T2 when 54yo. Used Metformin for 10+ years. Reversed the T2 with diet and fasting 3 years ago. Everything was great for 2 1/2 years - now the Hba1c is creeping up..5.0 to 5.4 to 5.7. AM BGLs up to 120s (from 85-95)!!! BMI in high-normal range after losing 20+ lbs - relatively stable. Fasting insulin < 5. Diet is stable, no carb creep, if anything I eat fewer carbs more fats. Don't know what to do and am very confused with conflicting info that I hear/read. Stimulate insulin production - seems counter-intuitive after 3 years trying to do the opposite? Is there a safe way to do it? I am in Greece, and would love to have a consult. I did try a FB message once, but did not get a reply. Obviously no insurance and I would appreciate knowing cost. Thank you for any assistance.

If you cut out the carbohydrates we are told you have to eat fat as your energy source, but then you are stuck between a rock and a hard place because although cutting out the carbs puts your blood sugar in a good place it's been traded for a total cholesterol of 405. The only conclusion I can draw is, to be healthy you have to chose between Statin and Insulin :-(

Hi Dr Cywes. Your thoughts on the lipoprotein insulin resistance score used to determine insulin resistance. I came across this and was able to find the calculation algorithm? Any idea what a score of 55 means for a 72 year old male with ascvd? Perhaps you can address this test in a video, if you haven’t already.

I have an interesting question... I use the Keto Mojo... I tested a few times today to see how quick the numbers move... sooo... I woke up with a reading of .7mmol ketones... they went up until noon at which point they were at 1.5 mmol.... at 2 pm when I tested again... 1.1mmol.... I've had nothing other than water and salt plus a black coffee earlier in the day... what might have happened to cause that to go down?

I kept having higher than expected AIC tests. Finally got glucose testing device and generally stick my finger every other day. I found “hidden” carbs and items that wo7ld spike glucose, including caffeine. I am a long-time dedicate coffee drinker now doing decaf, and using an electrolyte/potassium product from Dr Eric Berg for general hydration. Also found certain things that suppress glucose/insulin, such as apple cider vinegar 1st thing in AM for dawn effect, and before all meals. As a result, my glucose levels have dropped, and A1C has to come down - having 6 month bloodwork in a couple of weeks. Also, when I kept getting higher than expected A1C, I found KZbin info that helped identify the “hidden” sources using searches such as “Cywes A1C” ans other doctors, including Eric Berg, Paul Mason, Ken Berry, Sten Ekberg. All said essentially the same thing, with lots of comments of excellent results using their info. Seeing that (same thing, many positive results) led me to try what they were saying, and I am very happy with results I have gotten. Good luck and God Bless!

Hi, I have an issue that two GPs refuse to address and will NOT refer me to an Endocrinologist. Not only will they NOT refer me but all of the Endocrinologists in my area refuse to see or talk to me without a referral. This SUCKS. Since 2021 my fasting glucose numbers have been between 86 including through the 90s and as high as 117. When my GPs do the fasting glucose test and the numbers are higher than the recommended 77 to 99 and I point this out to both of them their comments are hey you're NOT diabetic, don't worry about the fasting glucose numbers. My A1C is 4.8 which I understand is great but my fasting glucose numbers are what concerns me. They my GPs are ONLY concerned with A1C and have no regard for the fasting glucose numbers at all PERIOD. I have reduced my carbs significantly and also my sugar intake drastically, but I am struggling to get my fasting glucose down in the 80s. I test every day and in fact I changed GPs because I was NOT satisfied with his opinions and now my new GP says don't even bother to test. I am 5' 8 and I weight 150 lbs., very poor muscle tone and the sad part is I CANNOT get any GP I go to, to take any of this seriously. DO NOT EVEN MENTION KZbin DRS to ANY doctor you go to, I already made this mistake, and they get HIGHLY OFFENDED if you mention you heard anything from KZbin Drs, they tell me maybe your KZbin DR should be your GP and not me. The worst mistake a patient can make is that you are taking advise from anybody on KZbin. I did not mention I am 68 years old. So, I do not know how many GPs I will have to go through to find one that takes my concern seriously. I agree with you 100% BUT no doctor I have gone to in my area agrees with YOU. John in Ohio

Hey Doc! Thanks for putting these together. Very helpful. My wife is skeptical of the carnivore diet because of the “common knowledge” that it leads to cancer and heart disease and all that. Do you have resources that help shed light on the facts about eating carnivore? And, the counter argument to “you need to eat vegetables”? And I mean research.
