What Diabetes Does to the Body | Can You Reverse It?

As a Diabetes Educator and a Registered Dietitian for over 20 years, I give this video a AAA+. So beautifully explained. I can see using this video in my patient education sessions, for sure. Loved the humor with the insulin resistant cell telling insulin to "go to hell" ..LOL.

I’m a dietetics student and my goal is to become exactly what you are! An RD with a specialty in diabetes care.

[@sgta7143]

Please start teaching people that diabetes can be put into remission and encourage them to do so. When I think back on the diabetic training class I was sent to after my diagnosis 20 years ago I get infuriated because the mantra was you’re diabetic, don’t skip meals, get at least 40-45 carbs per meal, and this is how u inject your insulin. No mention that it could be put in remission, no info on the benefits of exercise, especially weight lifting to control T2… Nothing but you’re a part of the system’s dependable cash flow now… Make sure you see your doctor every 3 months. In fact, when my A1C started drastically coming down they sent me to see specialist for test because “that” doesn’t happen to insulin dependent T2 diabetics. That’s what turned me to Dr. Google and I started learning that a LOT of people successfully put their diabetes in remission through proper eating habits and exercise. Diabetes educators should hold their classes in a gym where they could actually teach people how to take control of it instead of how to “manage”… The acceptable 7% representing good control really just represents a slower deterioration so the medical community can make as much money off the disease as possible. I hope u do use this video and I hope others learn to put their diabetes back in a box. All the best to you!

[@kavithajohnson8031]

@@sgta7143 Sorry that your diabetes education experience was less than desirable. Not all educators are as trained or experienced just like not all doctors are great either. The same goes for any profession. I would recommend seeking out an ADA accredited Diabetes Self management education program near you, usually located in a hospital as an outpatient education program or look for a private practitioner such as myself. Everyone's diabetes control is different and management strategies are different which is what makes it challenging as a health care provider. Please believe me when I say that we educators surely don't try to make money out of our patients. If you truly see what we get paid by insurance, you will retract your statement. Most of us are in this profession to help as often we have family members who deal with this disease or know someone who does, or live the disease just like yourself. As long as I have been doing this, I should have a fancy house by the lake but I do not. That being said, diabetes management is an ongoing process due to the nature of the disease. It has to be managed and having your health care team such as your PCP, Endo, Diabetes Eduacator on your side, helps immensely.

@@kavithajohnson8031 I’m glad to hear you’re a different kind of diabetes educator. My class was with an outpatient hospital program and they fed me the same BS my doctor did. This was about 20 years ago. I will never forget him telling me I would have to be on insulin for the rest of my life and there was nothing I could do about it. Total BS! Unfortunately I believed all of them until a few years ago when at 56 I felt like a walking dead man who was not going to live to 60. It was after I dumped my doctor and the so called experts that I decided I was going to defeat the disease and overcome limitations put on me by surgeons. I’ve been off insulin for about 4 years now and my A1C has been between 4.7 and 5.3 for the past 3 years. I’m 100 pounds lighter at probably 11-12% body fat in as good a shape at 59 as I was in my 20s if not better (except for the typical old man pains LOL). I still may not make it to 60 but it will not be diabetes or high blood pressure that kills me. I have spoken with so many other diabetics that were fed the same BS and told that a 7% A1C was “well managed”. 7% is nothing but a slower death than say a 10%. I was over 15% when initially diagnosed. T2 Diabetes can be defeated and put into remission. That’s what everyone diagnosed should be told and no one should be told a goal of 7% is considered well managed. Doctors gave me excuses and I took advantage of them. It took the young Marine that still lives inside of me to remind me that there are solutions for every excuse and I started looking for them and moving toward my objective. I don’t need doctors or diabetes educators today. Unlike most of them I have actually put the methods into practice and put my diabetes back in the jar where I plan to keep it! Nothing I say should lead anyone to think it’s an easy task… It was damn hard getting where I am now and I work hard every day to maintain my condition but every diabetic needs to know they can take control of their health and live a good life without diabetes slowly destroying their future. I don’t mean to sound angry but I sure wish I knew in the beginning what I know now but like most who get the diagnosis it kinda shocks and scares you so you follow the doctors “maintenance” plan without a lot of thought. I hope you emphasize the importance of exercise along with healthy eating. It’s as important if not more so. Thank you for your sacrifice and efforts to help others. I really mean that. 😁 I only share my story on diabetic topics in hopes someone reads it and makes a commitment to themselves to change their life too. Diabetes is no joke and people should take it very seriously. Sorry for being so long winded. I think I need to write a book about my experience. Lol

This was so fun to watch, thank you! As a type 2, 12 years ago, I was mad as heck because I had a routine of exercising 2 hours a day. Then I was diagnosed as a type 2. Talk about disappointing! Went to a dietician, found out my issue was carbs. I was a 6.8 at the time, A1c. After 6 months on metformin and following what I thought was a healthy diet, by reducing carbs, creeped up to a 7.2 A1c. I just wasn't doing it right at the time, didn't realize fruit was contributing to the problem. 😂 Anyways- became a trucker, didn't have access to proper foods at a truck stop, so I stocked up on sardines, and lived off them for nearly a year ( years later) ran out of metformin while OTR, so just ate fish mainly. Finally got myself into a Dr, told them I hadn't been on Meds in a year, but my Dr. Saw no indicator I even had diabetes, just HBP! So- I didn't get my Metformin, I thought stupidly I was cured. Years later, had my A1c checked again, my Diabetes came back with a vengeance at 11.4. 😭 !!! Doc said I needed to inject, I begged him to put me back on Metformin, he did- I went and researched on KZbin like crazy, found the Keto diet! There was this chap named Dennis Pollack who explained he had been on the keto diet for 17 years with success. Can you believe I reduced my A1c back to normal levels within 3 months??? So yes! It is possible! But- it's a constant battle. My current A1c has registered as an 8. ( Not good) but I was off keto, and not exercising .. point being, this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, reduce your A1c quickly by reducing your carbs to under 30 a day- take your Metformin, and just a 5-10% loss of body weight can put you in a category near normal again, even despite genetics. Age is a HUGE factor. But- I've suspected I've been pre diabetic since my childhood years, which Doctors really need to address in children with a weight problem. I loved that example you gave about the cells telling the sugar to go-to hell. 😂 So freaking funny!!! It's so true. And, if anyone was wondering how much fish I was eating, it was 3 oz of fish, three times a day. It's horrible to do for a year though, it's been years, and I still see it as a form of food torture.. best wishes to all! Good references to type 2, Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. Jason Fung, and of course, Dennis Pollack all here on KZbin, or- you can listen to me on your favorite podcast at Diabetic Survival, where you can find out what this diabetic girl is up to next.

I am an insulin-dependent T2 diabetic. Over the years I've had to keep upping the dosage as my resistance increases. My doctor has always said I need to exercise and improve my (admittedly horrible) diet, but I would give up after a few weeks of intense effort without any tangible results. Now I understand the metabolic processes that affect my diabetes and how to change them in hopes of improvement. At 70 y/o my eyes are beginning to be affected, but the decreased resistance to disease is much more of an issue. Where years ago I might have gotten a cold and a cough today it almost always becomes bronchitis or pneumonia and lasts for weeks and weeks. I heal much more slowly from normal scratches, bumps and bruises as well. However, I have very bad sciatica and am often housebound for days at a time so get very little exercise. So, I guess this old couch potato will have to bestir herself to exercise (gently) regularly even if it has to be done in tiny bits at home.

I’m in my 20’s and am pre-diabetic. I am an example of an unfortunate soul who is actually slightly underweight and yet has this problem. Usually when people think about pre-diabetes and type 2, they think of overweight people who don’t exercise. Well, I went pre-diabetic in the middle of my childhood when I never went more than a few months without playing a sport (practices, tournaments, conditioning, etc). I started getting light headed and pass out and it still happens to this day if I’m not careful. Some people are just unfortunate even when their lifestyle is better than most people who just happen to be more lucky.

I can totally relate. I was diagnosed at 4 and dreamt endlessly of a medication that could wake my islets back to life. Though I never hit myself, I used to get so frustrated with finger pricking and injections that I would go days without doing either. I paid the price when I was 34 y/o. As a veteran type 1, I find it discouraging that new meds for type 2s are constantly being created, but a cure for type 1 seems practically ignored. Though there has been some success with pancreatic transplant, many insurances still find it "experimental" or not particularly successful. Maybe some day in the near future a breakthrough discovery, equivalent to Banting's discovery of insulin, will happen. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm a type 2 diabetic who was diagnosed around 13 yrs ago when I was 20 yrs old. Between diet and exercise, I think diet has the most impact when you begin lifestyle changes. It was very hard trying to eat whole grains and less processed foods in the beginning. There were times when I was binge drinking a lot of fructose ridden drinks and eating fruit in high portions. Although I lost a lot of fat in the belly and some in thighs, my weight has been stagnant over the last 5 to 6 yrs. For exercise, I mostly did cardio and HIIT type of exercises because it was homework I just had to get out of the day. By the time I was on insulin, I took 70 units of Basaglar, and 50 or 60 units of Apidra per meal depending on the time of the months. I was ridden with hypoglycemia at times during my periods, or when I had an extra strenuous exercising sessions which frustrated me because of the glucose tablets I would have to take in the middle of the night. Back in May, I got into resistance training and signed up with my local gym. My A1C was down to 6.6 from the between 8 and 9 I was getting. I'm down to 50 units of Basaglar, and 20 or 30 units of Apidra. My A1C was this low only once when I was doing HIITs 4 times a week and extrenly low carb diet. It just wasn't sustainable and I wasn't able to get back on the wheel since then. I've changed my routine since May and been going to the gym 3 times a week with weights and cardio for 1.5 hr and 1 one-hour cardio sessions per week at home. I've hadn't had any hypoglycemic incidents so far since I stuck to resistance training regularly, and no hyperglycemia either as long as I work out every other day. Day 2 with no exercise makes my overall glycemic control erratic. I also try to eat every 4 hours or so in between meals with equal portions. I also found that though my weight on the scale hasn't gone down, I have noticeably lost fast in the middle, back, and some inner thigh and upper arm flabs. It is much softer and I can see some definition/separation between the muscle and flabs. If you can afford it, I strongly encourage trying out cgm monitoring first to figure out where you can fine tune your glycemic control. It was an eye-opener for me because I was getting frustrated learning what my glucose levels were just before and after meals with testing on my glucometer, and fasting glucose because all my hypoglycemic incidents happened during the early mornings and I would wake up in the middle of the night from feeling the effects. For diet, portion control is the key. I've turned to eating 1 portion of food according to the food labels, and eating each meal to fit in with my macros of 3 carb: 3 protein: 4 fat. I've found out how less of a protein I was eating and high high of a percentage of my meal was based on carbs since I was eating intuitively. I was hitting the calorie deficits but not the macros, which stagnated my weight loss. I hope this helps for someone who has been frustrated with all their efforts over the years. Who's been doing all they can muster off the efforts but not getting the results years on end.

One of the things I've found with diabetics is nutritionists, doctors, etc is they often tell patients what they should do to (for example) reduce insulin resistance (diet and exercise) but too often they don't explain Why.

[@scottlopez9366]

Good job on your Diabetes presentation on an anatomy basis. I'm T2D and was strongly triggered into it immediately after talked into taking Statins to lower Cholesterol (2005) and my Dr never told me the drug raises blood sugars even when I was "over the top" at the next annual. Over the next 5 years on Statins and now several diabetic Rxs, I had to stop training and competing in Triathlons due to muscle and tendon very slow repair. Stopped Statins after about 5 years when Dr Oz on TV stated 20% Statin users get T2D. Fast forward 8 years fighting T2D, discovered KETO with Intermittent Fasting (Dr Berry, Dr Berg, Dr Cywes, Dr Fong, ”Oiling of America" etc...) And now back to Triathlons again (64years old). I lost 50% Adipose Tissue (annual DEXA scans) in 3 years. 15 pounds under Overweight (normal wt.) But still fighting T2D. Big thing I have learned is that there are NO essential Carbs and they don't deserve to be eaten. I am currently on the fence A1C of T2D and Pre but is a constant fight. Without KETO Low Carb I wouldn't Have made it this far. Thanks for your great presentation and I love the way you make them.

Great video on a complex topic. My type 2 diabetes is in remission as a result of the combined effect of many of the methods discussed. One additional method that has been extremely beneficial for me is Heat Therapy, via either a sauna (traditional, infrared blanket) or a soak in hot water (hot tub or hot bath at home). I implement this daily and it has worked wonders in regards to reducing inflammation, blood sugar and insulin levels. In addition, a hot water soak a couple of hours before bed has enhanced my sleep quality. Essentially, the heat therapy stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. I really enjoy this channel and the thorough yet digestible presentation method.

Yep, I have type two diabetes. For around a year I was on a very low carb diet and was able to quit taking my metformin. Now, for health reasons and the fact that proper kidney function is important, I've increased my daily carb intake. I've once again started taking the metformin, though in a reduced dose, and things are ok. I have to say I much prefer how I feel on the ultra low carb diet. From mental health to digestion, it's a superior lifestyle. The takeaway is that my pancreas isn't a team player, but yelling at it doesn't help.

I would like to acknowledge that within the last decade research has demonstrated a solid CAUSATIVE link between diabetes and Alzheimer's. We lost my 69 year old insulin dependant mother in law to Alzheimer's this year. She was diagnosed with diabetes in her 30s and it had not been controlled since young adulthood. Diabetes causes retinopathy, kidney disease, neuropathy, and damage to the vascular system due to the "sharp" glucose molecules. This contributes to poor circulation and risk for non-healing wounds. As a nurse I've worked with hundreds of diabetics and seen so many on dialysis for kidney failure, near blindness from retinopathy, excrutiating neuropathic pain, and leg amputations. Diabetes' associated medical complications cost the US more than any other disease by a wide margin. I encourage all people to consider the seriousness of this disease. This video has inspired me to get a handle on my own unhealthy decisions. Thanks for this great video!

Focus on nutrition. Reduce or eliminate refined sugars and highly processed foods and you are well on your way. Getting carbs to under 50-g daily (more if morbidly obese) your body will convert to using fats as your primary fuel. This allows easy transition to fasting.

[@harmonicaveronica]

The best exercise is the one you can stick to - it has to be something you can access AND something you at least kind of enjoy. Maybe you live in a place that isn't suitable for year-round outdoor exercise and don't have access to a treadmill or indoor track when it's dangerously hot/cold/etc for a few months. Then running probably isn't the best choice. But maybe you live right next to a school with an indoor track that's free to the public and you find running to be peaceful - then running probably is right for you!

I can vouch for the eating habits and the importance of exercise to put T2 diabetes into remission. I was diagnosed with an A1C in the mid teens and put on insulin immediately. I was told I would be on insulin the rest of my life and that there was nothing I could do about it. Well, after about 15 years I realized my life was not going to last much longer if I didn’t find a way to defy the doctors. I’ve been off insulin for about 4 years and have kept my A1C between 4.7-5.3 for the past 3 years. I’m also 100 pounds lighter and lift weights 5 days a week and swim 30-60 minutes on the other two days. I’ve got rid of the high blood pressure and other health issues that creep in on diabetics that contribute to our demise. I’ll be 59 in a few months and I’m probably as fit as I was in my 20s if not more so. I’ve even got my six pack back. Am I still a diabetic? My answer is yes! While I’m able to control it with strict eating habits and intense workouts, all I have to do is eat or drink too much of the wrong thing and my glucose will shoot up like a rocket. It usually comes down pretty fast but my body, even as fit as I am now, probably in the 10-12% body fat range judging from my visibly bulging bicep veins and ripped abs, the wrong foods or an infection or virus like when I got COVID a few months back and my glucose levels get outta whack. I am definitely in remission but have no doubt my A1C would start climbing if I let my guard down. I’d encourage anyone with T2 to immediately change their eating habits and start exercising. You don’t have to go full on Olympic athlete, just start moving. You CAN take control of T2 and you CAN get off insulin and meds. You just have to want to do it and then be consistent and don’t give up!

Based on my experience and research, STRESS/EMOTION MANAGEMENT (exercise included to some extent), is the most important tool to combat disease and poor health. I.e. breathwork, meditation, recharging in nature, having hobbies that instill self confidence, etc.

[@theanatomylab]

Stress is often a contributor to many diseases/disorders. They challenge is to quantify how much of a contributor to each disorder. Regardless, it is definitely still important to manage all of that stress properly.👍🏻

By far, the best explanation I've heard. I have been diabetic for 13 years and have, thru diet and meds, I am well-controlled with A1cs in the low 6's. No other deficits. Exercise is key for me to lose the rest of my excess weight.

[@cadcass6936]

While I of course found the video interesting and enjoyable, as a type 1diabetic I get disheartened when discussion around diabetic discussion is heavily focused on type 2, I accept type 1 was touched on in the beginning slightly but In a way I wish the two types simply had different names all together rather than type 1 and type 2.

[@sendnoodle5]

I've been type 1 for 30 years now, and it's always been like this. I was excited for this video and immediately went to the comments to see if it only focused on type 2.

[@theanatomylab]

I actually do agree with that, as Type 2 is much more of a metabolic dysfunction.

[@VampireXCookie]

​@@sendnoodle5 i was interested to see what damage my type 1 does to my body, like i have diabetic retinopathy (abnormal blood vessels in the eyes) i don't know if this you can even dissect an eye to see that. As a young adult who was diagnosed as a kid, i wish there was more content on type 1 that i could learn that wasn't too kid like or too formal and geared for like med students

[@sendnoodle5]

@@VampireXCookie most of my type 1 skillz are just life experience now. I spent a while not taking care of myself as a young adult. Now, my a1c is 7 (and falling). Lost 60 pounds, started eating better. Switched from Medtronic to Dexcom and Tandem devices. I also smoke weed. I find that lowers my insulin resistance. I did have diabetic retinopathy started, but I have actually reversed it. Good luck!

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around 6 months back and that moment of scare lead me towards a healthy lifestyle. I was obese and didn't really cared much about exercise or sports but then I started working out and lost a lot of body fat. I am still on the journey to get rid of medicines which my doctor recommended (tho I'm taking them right now) and I'll update here once I have normal or around normal levels of HbA1c results. Thanks for this video, really need proper education on these topics.

My father had type II and did not follow a diet…loved Chinese food, but lived til 92. His mother ate the basic Mediterranean diet and died in her 80,s. My uncle lived until his 80,s with type 2. I have type 2 and my dr wants my hgbA1c down. I have gone from 9.6 to 8.5 in six weeks, but cannot exercise due to severe arthritis. Totally frustrated since I replace two meals with a protein drink and drink a lot of water. Haven’t had potatoes, bread, pasta or rice in ages. I am now 79 and have no side effects of diabetes. My eldest daughter died from complications of type I and kidney failure, so I know what to watch for. Just wish I could walk.

[@ranns2805]

Question- of all these relatives with type2 diabetes were they are meds?

[@ranns2805]

When I was diagnosed with T2D I decided I was going to do a lot of research. I decided I would concentrate on exercising and loosing weight. Sure enough as I lost weight all my numbers decreased. I have never taken meds to control my T2D and consider myself a controlled diabetic. I am not cured as I do see my diabetes numbers go up as I gain weight, thus I do my best to control my weight which is controlled by not eating a ridiculous amount of sugar/carbs and exercise which all in combination appears to control my T2D.

I have T2, diagnosed at 25y old, finally, after years of struggling with it. The only symptom I couldn't figure out was my constant weight gain. I used to be super skinny, but due to my diatebes activating when I was 18y old and being untreated, I became obese. It was only when i told my therapist about my constant weight gain, no matter what I did, that she advised me to check it out and I got my diagnosis. Turns out T2 is common in my fathers side of the family, and I had no clue. Recently, after having my disgnosis for 2y, it went into remission. For me, eating whole foods plant based and doing moderate exercise is the key. It's not easy with my back issues, but it's worth it. I do hate the stigma around it and how people say it's my fault I got sick. I didn't choose this, my dad's bad genes were just too strong.

Just cutting sugar ( chocolate, cookies and juice ) made glucose go down to normal and made me lose lot of weight without any diet. You taught me what my MD never told me : appart from obesity , I had two major risk factors : stress and lupus. You taught me what my MD never told me : exercise makes cells absorb glucose by bio-chemistry change.

[@android584]

My weight goes up if I have a large eating window due to snacking in the morning and before I go to bed. If I resist the urge and delay eating unti the afternoon, and limit snacks after dinner I maintain my current weight. To lose it I'm at the point (age 42) where I have to resort to OMAD or 48 hour fasting.

[@RICDirector]

You do realize that changing how you eat is dieting, yes? ;) I just wish I werent so physically compromised that I COULD lose the extra 150 lbs I carry through exercise and diet. I do what I can do despite it all, and we'll just have to deal with the chronic pain exercise results in as best I can.

I doubt you’ll see this but I am a type 1 diabetic I got it when I was 7 on Valentine’s Day ironically 😂and I am 21 now. I loved this video, it’s great for people who don’t understand or haven’t really lived around diabetes. I think a great video covering diabetes again would be all or the most important side effects that diabetes has on the body, ie vasoconstriction, nerve damage, taking longer to heal, weakened immune system, and why every diabetic will say in some way or another how important their feet are, specifically making sure you keep your feet healthy, a lot of people i know have asked me why diabetics loose their feet all the time. I have also seen in a criminal minds episode before that diabetics can metabolize drugs faster than someone who isn’t diabetic and I was wondering if you could either confirm or deny ? But I love your videos and I was thrilled to see this video in my timeline!

That was the most informative descriptions diabetes I’ve ever heard. My doctor told me I was “pre”diabetic. He never really explained it to me. He just told me to keep track of my blood sugar levels. After losing 30 pounds, I no longer showed any signs of diabetes. (I’ve lost a total of 70 lbs.) My question: What exactly is “pre”diabetes??

[@youwhat.]

It's when your body is starting to build up insulin resistance but isn't quite at the level to be officially diabetes yet The levels for what is considered diabetes is based on huge clinical trials that take years/decades to perform so sometimes they are a bit arbitrary based on whatever categories those studies examined but still the best we have

Thanks for this. I am a type 2 diabetic, 58. Had limited succes with more exercise (late afternoon seems most efficient), more with switching from high fat low carb diet to 95% vegan (Dr Neal Barnard’s advice to get rid of adapose tissue and get fat out of cells so sugar can come in) and arguably most from going from 3 meals a day to 8-16 hour intermittent fasting (a la dr Jason Fung). I assume there are several reasons why cells may be reluctant to follow the insulin’s instructions to take up sugar besides adapose tissue and unfixable genetics. Where can I find more info on that, so I can figure out what else to try?

You can try walking 5-6 km after your meal, most effective 20 mins after to mitigate the blood glucose spike. I think there must be some kind of carbs restriction even if you are on vegan diet to be successful in blood glucose control.
