I've done the same thing. I reversed my Type 2 Diabetes completely. I had an A1C of 8.5 and sometimes higher. I started with Keto and have moved on to Carnivore and feel better than I have in 30 years. My A1C is now way below normal. 5.3. Dr. Berry was my inspiration.

[@EvaMariposa]

Were you supervised by your doctor during the process? How did you manage cutting out your meds ? Did you follow a specific protocol? I'm trying to get my family off their meds & on keto but they are afraid of stopping their meds

[@LifeByKpop]

@@EvaMariposa I have regular check ups when needed, but it's hard to find a doctor that is Keto/Carnivore friendly. Because of the AMA, they have to tell people to eat the Standard American Diet and are not very cooperative. That said, I follow and listen to Dr. Berry and Dr. Rob Cywes mostly. If I need something I go to the doctor, else I follow their teachings and do things mostly on my own. I do my own A1C home tests as well and take my BG & Ketone reading regularly. I no longer take Metformin, I got off of that last year. I now take Berberine instead because although my A1C is excellent now, I still have some insulin resistance I'm working through. It'll get better in time. Dr. Berry has a video on how to find a Keto Friendly doctor in your area. I'll be seeing one soon. Dr. Berry and Dr. Cywes have both said that it's a good idea to stay on meds for a while after starting Keto/Carnivore until A1C and BG come down and then taper off. If it's type 2 Diabetes you're talking about, it will improve in a few months. Mine dropped drastically in only 4 months. So I'm not giving medical advice of course, but this is my experience so far.

[@EvaMariposa]

@@LifeByKpop thank you! I'll try to find a keto friendly Dr in my area. I think until they hear from a Dr that it's ok to change their diet, they won't listen to me .... Congrats on your success! :)

I was diagnosed with prediabetes a few weeks ago, I put myself on a strict diet and weight training exercises and going out on walks. Now I have lost a stone in weight.🏋️🚶

[@bigbluebrownbass]

Here's my story. Never had a doctor and I'm 58, I had to go to the hospital for a surgery. I weighed 253 lbs/5' 10 inches tall. They did blood work, come to find out, my A1c was 11.3. No wonder I felt like crap all the time. Any way, I went on an almost no carb diet, I started eating steak,fish,pork,chicken,eggs, and cottage cheese for my dinner for the most part every day and maybe a couple of cookies for dessert. Well, it's been 3 months as of next week, and I have lost 42 lbs. and my A1c is 4.9 now! I feel/and look so much better. Hopefully I can stop taking the Metformin soon my doctor said. P.S, I stopped drinking beer ever night after I got home from work too. I believe that is helping a whole lot as well. Good luck to everyone that has diabetes, you can control it if you really try..... Mark.

Can you give an example of a Keto meal. Or that of hes talkin about ( a low carb meal) need help

[@kalpoloswagg]

@Topazthecat Dr Berry and Dr Ekberg both have videos talking about this very thing. If you are still eating complex carbs like breads and pastas, they may be contributing to the way your body is using fat. I would not suggest you change anything without close monitoring by your doctor, but it may be beneficial to at least look into it. Several people doing keto and carnivore have reversed those conditions. Not saying it would work for you, but researching it only costs you some time but could save you thousands and years added to your life. Hoping the best for you.

@@jimpuff8409 Hi Jim: I'm sure as hell no expert but listing out exactly what you are eating and drinking will reveal the culprit. Try going to one meal a day and then try fasting for 1-3 days with plenty of water. Testing your blood sugar every 24 hours will give you a much better picture. Fruits and fruit juice are my most common suspects. Very few fruits are really sugar free and fruit juices are all just flavored sugar water.

I found out I was pre diabetic after being hospitalized from a motor cycle accident and didn't take it too seriously since the doctors said i shouldn't worry about it too much since it was probably caused by the shock on my system caused by the accident. I was then diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a blood sugar level of 16 in January 2020 and given a perception of a very hight dose of Janumet. Although I did cut carbs my blood sugar levels stayed high at around 7. At one point was completely emaciated since my weight came down from 180 to 130 pounds for 5'8". Thats when I understood It's not all about body weight. I fumbled across you videos around 6 months ago and officially started keen keto and real food September 2021. So only a little more than 4 months into it and my blood sugar is finally back to normal with and average below 5"3 and now I have been completely off the medication around 1 month now!.

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

Years ago, I was what I call Pre Pre diabetes, meaning my fasting glucose was creeping up every year, but it wasn't yet higher than normal. I asked my doctor about it, and he dismissed it because, at 95, my fasting sugar was "still normal." Along the trajectory, I would become pre-diabetic in about another year. I discovered intermittent fasting before it was a household word. That was 8 years ago, and I've never looked back. I recently checked my fasting insulin, and it's the very lowest end of normal. I understand the fasting insulin is more telling than fasting glucose. I don't eat alot of carbs, but with the fasting, even if I do have an occasional treat, it doesn't seem to affect me. Even after meals my blood sugar rarely Rises above 100 anymore. What a blessing to have learned all this

All with lifestyle changes, NO MEDS: LCHF and IF (12:12 baseline every day, and 16:8 as often as possible, like 3-4 days/week) Weight is still high, and that’s next.

[@haldalorian]

@Jesse It varies from day to day, except that I really don't exercise. Aside from occasional brisk walk for about 20-30 mins. I start with just a bulletproof coffee, or coffee protein shake (if it's hot out). Never add sugar, only erythritol+monk fruit. I try to push off my first regular meal until at least 1pm; no snack or anything before. Usually a big omelet with veggies, cheese and meat, low carb toast w/ butter. Or a pound of high fight ground beef cooked up with an egg and more veggies. Sometime btw 4-7pm, I'll eat salad greens just about every day, whether on their own or sometimes in a low-carb wrap. I will sometimes use store-bought dressing (avocado oil only, no sugars), or make my own zero carb dressing: Olive oil, ACV, lemon juice, oregano, garlic salt, black pepper. I might snack on salted macadamia nuts, and if my macros aren't complete yet, throw in a piece of 90-95% dark chocolate. On rare occasions I'll roll up a piece of ham in cheddar and eat that for a snack. But I do make sure i'm not exceeding my macros: 6% carb (30g) 23% protein 71% fat 1800 cal/day (to the best of my abilities) I believe in changing up the routine so my body doesn't get complacent with my IF schedule.

[@haldalorian]

I am so thankful I found this channel! I have read so many of your comments and you all are making me feel so hopeful and inspired. Thank you! I was diagnosed with prediabetes years ago, and it has remained the same sense. However, my A1c just went up and for the fun of it I decided to just look up how I could have this problem going on when I don’t eat sugar, per se. But I know I get it in all sorts of foods. they only carbs I eat are one fourth of a low carb bagel in the morning with an egg white, I don’t drink any juice or soda or have any candy, cakes, juices, nothing. I’ve never really cared for that stuff. I like saltier stuff, but had to change that up because of my blood pressure. I started intermittent fasting about eight months ago and was pretty much at the 18-6 hour eating plan. I was just two meals a day, but working at home has taken a toll and I seem to often be looking for a healthy snack here and there. Diabetes runs in my family. But after seeing this and everyone’s comments, I’m realizing I have to take better care of myself and change things up more. I’ve been on a bit of a carnivore diet, but it’s not a diet to me because I love chicken and steak. I’m curious what you all eat for breakfast… Your first meal. I can’t do dairy that much, so I’m very curious about perhaps steel cut oats and soy milk or something. Anyway, I’m hoping to turn this around within 3 to 4 months because I absolutely cannot be on any more medication. I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. So you can imagine what I have to take. This is a good wake up call. And this is the first video I’ve watched about it! Very appreciative of this doctor’s advice. Good luck to everyone, let’s beat this!

I actually helped diagnose a coworker, unintentionally, over a decade ago. We were working together and she was complaining about being so tired. She was craving and drinking soda and eating chocolate bars trying to get energy. I told her that perhaps she should go to the doctor and get checked out. I ran into her months later. She had lost a lot of weight and was sipping green tea. She thanked me for suggesting she get checked out. She was pre diabetic. I did not get a chance to talk in depth so I don’t know what she changed but receiving the diagnosis put her on a healthier path.

Hi Dr., I’m there same place as you. I was diagnosed as a pre diabetic a few years ago, however, I never thought about it much because I don’t eat sweets and I thought only people with sweet tooth get it. Well, little did I know that because I eat a lot of carbs, this was causing the pre condition and not only that, but I was also diagnosed with fatty liver. I have tried to do the keto diet, but again, it’s hard to stay away from carbs, everything has carbs. Now, I’m getting older and not feeling too well. I haven’t been back to the Dr to see what my sugar levels look like, but based on how I feel, I’m sure they’re not good. I will check your other videos to get an idea of WHAT to eat and HOW to start eating. I thought I share just in case it helps others.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 last July.. My hba1c was 10 and my glucose reading was 12mmol (214mg/dl) after two hours post meal. I started to do IF, eating 2 meals a day, lower my carbs intake, eat more protein and fat in my diet. After 3 months I had my blood test again, and my hba1c reading was 5.5 and glucose was 5 1mmol (91mg/dl). No drugs and medication. The doctor said I was no longer diabetic. Well. I just cut out 95% of my sugar intake, still take two cups of rice in every meal because rice is my staple diet (I'm a Malay people from Malaysia where rice is a must in our culture). From my experience, to reverse it does not mean you have to cut out 100% carbs from your diet, all you have to do is to limit your food intake, no more frequent meal as before. Two or three times of eating perday is okay. Eliminate white and refined sugar and eat a healthy and fresh food available. Don't let processed foods go into your body. This is actually the real cause that makes your body sick

thank you for answer. i currently am on the dr atkins diet . were you start with only 20 grams of carbs from vegtables in the first week. i have lost about 4lbs. i cut out white flour. sugar, and haen't had any bread nor rice no pasta this last week. but in the diet plan u gradually can add back rice , bread, nuts if you like. i have half an avocado every other day. sometimes a fruit juice probotioc shot but as you said most important is to LIMIT the carbs. and i am eating alot more protein. feeling better, doing better eveyone is different. i will not give up carbs completely either.

My A1C is 5.2. I am not diabetic but started to reduced my carbs intake significantly. My 1st meal is at 7.30 am and my last meal is between 2 and 3 pm. Cut out all snacks, ( I wasn't a big snacker in the first place), all sugars and stay away from processed foods which i was not big on either. Also walk for 50 to 60 mins every single day. Do fasting twice a week from 4.30 am to 6.30 pm. No food or drink between that period. Life could only get better. Still cutting down on carbs gradually. I have been dieting all my life and I am constructing a diet that is suitable for me and one that works.Also bought a glucometer to see which foods spike my blood sugar so that I can avoid as much as possible.BUT i will not totally stay away from carbs.

Dr Berry, I have subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now and have appreciated following your journey and transition from paleo to keto to carnivore. I started Keto (and am aspiring to carnivore) and have lost 23 pounds in the few weeks since I started. But, even though I am morbidly obese and am on medication for hypertension, the biggest reason I started was because of the pain from severe arthritis in my knees and ankles. Although I had just about given up on losing weight after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, I was eager to try this approach with the hope of pain relief. Over the weeks since I started, my pain has declined dramatically. I had been on oral NSAIDS daily for at least a decade. I then moved to topical Diclofenac, but started forgetting to use it, so finally stopped. I still have some pain, but have been fighting through it rather than treating it. My question - and possibly a topic for a video - is when to stop NSAIDS or other pain meds/anti-inflammatory era? Should you wait until the pain is relieved, or merely bearable? Thanks for considering this topic, and for what you do every day to help point people toward a better life.

I "think" Dennis that factors in with whatever other damage has been done. It will take more than a week for your body to recover from the metabolic disorder. But if you keep your blood sugar low and there are no spikes anymore? From what I have read about COVID... the virus thrives on the High Blood sugar levels, needs the excess sugars to multiply once it gets into the lungs, and that massive (growth?) allows them to incubate and grow into the worst version of themselves... Once that happens? Then the other comorbidities kick in like heart disease, circulatory disorders, immune disorders, etc... So IMO cutting out the sugars and carbs and KEEPING your blood sugar as low as possible? Reduces the "risk" bigly because it takes away the "Food" which the virus depends on to multiply... Which then gives your own immune system a big boost in fighting them off and "adapting" a method to defeat them...
