Small correction: At time point 7:10, I say that "In liver, muscle, and fat tissue, insulin binds to the insulin receptor on the surface of cells, and that causes a specific glucose transporting molecule called GLUT-4 to be transported to the cell membrane". This is not correct, because GLUT-4 doesn't play a major role in glucose transport in the liver (where it's other glucose transporters such as GLUT-2). In muscle and fat tissue it is GLUT-4, however, so that part is correct.

I am 71 yrs old, very active, slim 5'10". T2 for 15 yrs. Never knew about IR. Had T2 hubs so very little extra calories like gravy, biscuits etc. He followed ADA diet so had normal carbs with lunch & dinner. Was a pharmacist, checked his blood 8 times a day, and diabetic for 63 yrs. Had limited activities therefore, he had every complication. I can not do this to my family. My a1c always 7.3 & 7.5 and I must get into 6's. CGM last year & I love it. My numbers spike with many meals and trying to fast more. Always eat 1/2 restaurant meal. I am emptying my garage and doing way too much lifting, painting, cleaning, moving fridges and I just lifted 5 drawer tool chest. I just do not expect good numbers anymore. I joined hiking club and never walking on level ground. Loved it. I am desperate to save my organs. On 5 glucose meds & Toujeo insulin. Just sharing as there is something I am missing. I will never give up. Love water & coffee all day. Only eat berries, little carbs and love protein & salads & green veggies. Thx for this training 💪

I'm looking forward to your videos on dietary interventions! I've had type 2 diabetes for 21 years now, ever since I was 17. I had an A1c result of 13.3 recently, and was finally fed up and switched to very low carb + intermittent fasting (~19+5). In about a month I'm down to an estimated average glucose of ~90 (according to my calculations). I'm always in the 70-110 range. I still take metformin and occasionally a tiny dose of a sulfonylurea, but I'm slowly trying to phase those out and see how I do.

I studied biochemistry and food science in the early 70s and again in the late 80s but have now forgotten much of the detail, and of course, I am desperately out of date. The theory aspects of the programme I am following are dumbed down for the non-scientist so much that I find myself utterly confused. Thank you for this perfectly pitched series.

Thank you so much for this information.i have type 2 diabetes. Struggling to keep good numbers. Probably could lose 10kg max but not huge. Controlled well for first 2 years but not so much now. I believed that because I had so severely reduced carbs, once I did eat them, blood sugar would skyrocket. I was m8serable, missing the foods I love as I am a “feeder” and love to cook. No rice, potatoes, pasta, bread to name a few, I was miserable. Who satisfies their desire for a biscuit with their morning to a 1/4 a biscuit - not a happy way to live. Will watch your videos over and over to give me a quality of life. Thank you. Diet generally salad and egg, cold meat for lunch, meat and veg, excluding potatoes for dinner.
@nourishedbyscience
@nourishedbyscience 20 күн бұрын
Here is an important point to consider: if we generally eat a low-carb diet, that is fine and maybe even disireable if we have type 2 diabetes. However, a low-carb diet lowers what we call the first-phase insulin response, i.e., the amount of insulin the pancreas can secrete in the first few minutes after eating a meal that contains carbs. This first-phase insulin response consists of pre-formed insulin that is stored in the beta-cells and can be released into the blood within seconds of eating carbs. The reduction in the first-phase insulin response is an adaptive response to eating no carbs, because the body simply doesn't want to keep pre-made insulin stored in the beta-cells if it never is needed because we are not eating carbs (this is similar if we fast for an extended period of time). This is temporary, and if you were to start eating carbs regularly again, your first-phase insulin response would recover. However, what this means is that you want to keep your carb intake roughly steady from meal to meal. If you eat a low-carb diet, make every meal low-carb. If you eat a normal mixed diet, do that every meal. Aside from this, I feel that it is critically important to figure out WHY you are glucose intolerant. The first step is to figure out whether we are insulin resistant: Measuring Insulin Resistance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvXqaKaprR1mNksi=C681vsKNjXqWJSMq If we are insulin resistant, then the next step would be to think through the most common causes of insulin resistance to identify potential reasons for OUR insulin resistance: Causes of Insulin Resistance: The Personal Fat Threshold: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYGYaKKDbdF1l7csi=eK6OeDRpGNpPzOqW Insulin Resistance: Top Causes & Contributing Factors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/forXn5-IeNZradUsi=kfHudBNBlFN1NlzU To understand why insulin resistance is damaging to long-term health: Insulin Resistance Syndrome: A Neglected Risk Factor for Chronic Disease: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJiWn2Csnpenabssi=Cob6H4vwk6yCz12F Wearing a CGM can also be useful to identify early signs of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance: How to Interpret Your CGM Data: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoexdWxmq7Zjrqssi=vpLTb-bAIvenYWjB And once you have identified potential causes or contributing factors to your glucose intolerance and/or insulin resistance, you can address these specifically. It’s important to be clear that while excess visceral and ectopic fat is a common cause of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, it’s not the same for all people. Others are insulin resistant because of low muscle mass, chronic stress, chronic sleep deprivation, or micronutrient deficiencies. Hope this helps. Best, Mario P.S.: This is not medical or medical nutrition advice, as I don't know your specific situation, incl. your medication and medical history. I recommend you look though the videos, and if you have any questions, discuss them with your doctor or nutritionist.

Thanks for a well presented lecture on this issue, as a I am a new Type 2 Diabetic (6 months now). As is my nature to not just follow what my Doctor says alone - but to try to fully understand what the reasons are he is prescribing a particular treatment and why. Unfortunately Doctors only have 6 to 10 minutes per visit for a standard fee and it is insufficient to explain what he knows - So instead I just get told what to do. To counter this I have been exploring everything I can get on KZbin and I have learnt a lot these past few months.

They don't make effort to research to help patients when they feel they already have the ready made textbook prescriptions & they make the patient feel like a pest.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise to the many people that are prediabetic or Diabetic, and more important, bringing to attention the problem of metabolic desease not many people are aware of. I have viewed many of your videos, I turned 70 yrs old last May, I have an A1C3 of "5.7%" last April, I'm skinny, 5' 6" weigh 112 lbs, but Asian, by nature we're small, 80% vegetarian, and exercise and go to the gym 2-3 times a week since young, although I am lacking some exercise outside those days I am sedentary. I would appreciate very much if you can inform me the areas I need to improve so I can be Insulin sensitive, thank you so much!

I just watched this video for the second time. It is so well done and so informative that it should be required viewing for every diabetes educator and diabetes patient. I have a follow up question. The video highlights three major factors affecting the body’s ability to manage blood glucose: (1) insulin sensitivity,(2) insulin production (i.e., beta cell function) and (3) glucose effectiveness. Are there ways to test each of these three functions for a given individual? Using a personal example, I was diagnosed as having type two diabetes based on an A1c that was just over the type 2 threshold. I adjusted my diet/exercise, lost some weight and started wearing a Lingo CGM. I am now able to maintain my blood glucose within the range of 70 to 140 97% of the time, with an average daily glucose of 95 to 100. In other words, I am able to maintain blood glucose levels below the even the prediabetic threshold. However, I don’t know my insulin sensitivity, my ability to produce insulin, or my glucose effectiveness. At this point, I haven’t learned enough to know exactly how that information would help me. But I think that information might be valuable as I continue to learn more about diabetes. If this question is answered by one of your other videos, please let me know and I will watch them next. Thank you for all your outstanding work.

Hey Hugh, Great question. And congrats to what sounds like reversing your diabetes! First, now that you learned about glucose effectiveness, for practical purposes, move that onto the backburner. That is because while it's extremely important for blood sugar regulation, we have no clinical test to measure it, and we currently don't know how to improve it. In other words, even if you could measure it, it would not be actionable knowledge. However, glucose effectiveness is an important part of several insulin-independent mechanisms through which blood sugar can be cleared from the blood. Another one I wish I had mentioned in the video is that muscle tissue can take up glucose from the blood in a way that is independent of insulin, so exercise acutely lowers blood glucose levels when they are elevated, and going for a simple walk after a meal can be an effective way to lower elevated blood glucose levels. (Don't be confused that exercise when done fasting can also raise blood glucose levels; that's not a bad thing and should not discourage exercising, because exercise is extremely important for metabolic health). Second, there is an easy measure of insulin resistance called HOMA-IR that I recommend you could get. I talk about that here in this video: Measuring Insulin Resistance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYvXqaKaprR1mNksi=qaaNZ2y8cXNcojeD In general, glucose tolerance is the product of your insulin sensitivtiy and your insulin secretion (beta-cell function), and often, improving insulin sensitivity is the easiest way to improve glucose tolerance. It is important to understand the root cause of YOUR insulin resistance if you are insulin resistant. I talk about the 16 main causes here, in these videos: Causes of Insulin Resistance: The Personal Fat Threshold: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYGYaKKDbdF1l7csi=NTZ82Rue7mVP3-7p Insulin Resistance: Top Causes & Contributing Factors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/forXn5-IeNZradUsi=2GgrTvMRBfmumBl4 Often, you'll hear general statements online such as "do x to improve insulin sensitivtiy". These sometimes work, but I feel strongly that the better approach is to identify specific causes of why we personally are insulin resistance, and then address these. And third and lastly, poor beta-cell function is often genetic in nature, and seen in people who have a family history of type 2 diabetes. That doesn't mean that it cannot be influenced. Similar to HOMA-IR, there is a measure just based on fasting glucose and insulin called HOMA-B, so if you get HOMA-IR measured, you can use the fasting glucose and insulin data to also calculate HOMA-B. It's a rough estimate of beta-cell function, but it can give one first indication. CGM data in response to high-carb meals can also be useful to detect poor insulin secretion, particularly if there is a very rapid spiking pattern. More precise tests are very involved and usually never done in clincial care. I haven't made a video about beta-cell function yet, how to measure it and how to improve it, but I think I'll do that soon. One factor that we know reduced insulin secretion is fat in the pancreas, which is a form of ectopic fat. If we lose weight, we tend to lose some of that pancreatic fat, and the insulin secretory capacity of our pancreatic beta-cells improves. We also know that - temporarily - doing long fasts and also a low-carb or keto diet will reduce insulin secretion, particularly the first-phase insulin secretion. In other words, if you have a habit of intermittent fasting or longer fasts, or if you are generally on a low-carb diet, make sure to re-introduce carbs slowly after that. Hope this is helpful. Happy to talk about any of these things in one of our upcoming Patreon calls. Cheers Mario

Thanks so much.👍 Please continue the technicalities, it helps to understand more. Also include full names of acronyms used to demystify them & help to understand their functions & activities. Apart from the fact that I'm a Pharm. by training, the current trend as you know is patients' involvement in their own health management & many patients conduct researches on their health issues even without medical training. So it's good to get comprehensive information from honest forthright experts like you whose primary motive is health, wellness & correct understanding, treatment & management. When a presentation is accurate /factual, the length will not matter to a patient who needs the knowledge to understand their situation & help in their own health management. In conducting researches, many patients have fallen victims to wrong information from people who just want to be heard & make money from the little & inaccurate knowledge they have. This is your 3rd presentation I have seen recently. Very well appreciated ❤

Thank you very much for this. I’m a technical guy but just not in the field of medicine or body function. It’s been difficult to find diabetic info that doesn’t overly simply this for non-technical people or the material requires a PhD in biology to understand. This struck a great response. Just a feedback which had my eye twitch, you showed graphics of glucose over time to a GTT and pretty much showed it fully recovered in 2 hours but you then stated that even a a healthy response measured 2 hours later could be as high as 50% more. Otherwise great job. I’m 60 years old now and was diagnosed about 12 years ago, but there were so many signs in reflection that i was going from healthy to pre-diabetic to full diabetic that were missed by both me and my doctors and I’m dealing with neuropathy consequences that seems like i should have been able to have addressed earlier. My father, me, and my daughter all grew up with hypoglycemia and me and my dad both have transitioned to full diabetic. At least now I’ve been able to coach my now 33 year old daughter to watch and potentially mitigate her insulin sensitivity and hopefully mitigate well before irreversible consequences such as neuropathy and other organ damage occurs. Thanks again for the great content.

Hi Stefan, Thank you for your feedback. To clarify the twitch-inducing issue 🙂, the official guidelines by the American Diabetes Association and other national diabetes organizations say that a 2-hour glucose value in a 75g oral glucose tolerance test needs to be under 140 mg/dL to qualify as 'normal'. First, 75g of pure glucose in a liquid form is a hefty dose, and more of a challenge than almost any solid meal I can think about. Second, in healthy people with 100% normal glucose tolerance, glucose may peak around 140 mg/dL even in response to that 75 g OGTT and be back to baseline at the 2-h mark. So the graphs I drew for normal/healthy people were more in line with what a healthy person's glucose levels after a meal and even in an OGTT would actually look like. Sorry to hear about your neuropathy. I am hoping that my upcoming content about additional measures people with manifest diabetes can take will be helpful to you and your family. Cheers Mario

Thank you for explaining insulin sensitivity and the regulation of blood sugar levels in such a way that is easy to understand. One thing I have been wanting to know is did I do anything in my earlier years to cause my diabetes such as drinking too many sugary drinks. Hopefully you can answer that question in a future video or reply to my comment. Thank you again. Your videos are very informative. 34:34

Yes.. eating/drinking too much sugary foods in a long term make insulin resistance. It takes around 10-15 years to a diabetic condition from pre-diabetic condition. So if you got diabetic condition at 40 yr old, then perhaps you have pre diabetic condition at 25 - 30 yrs old. Change your diet and intermittent fasting will improve your diabetic condition. I hope that help.

Yes, as long as someone meets criteria for diabetes, the risk of cardiovascular disease and all diabetes complications (kidney disease, neuropathy, retinopathy etc.) is elevated. As I am sure you can imagine though, the degree to which the risk is elevated depends on how well blood sugar is 'controlled'. A HbA1c of 7.0% is a totally different situation than a HbA1c of 10%. One reason for this is that most treatments for type 2 diabetes do not address the root causes: the insulin resistance, ectopic fat deposition (i.e., fat stored in inner organs such as the liver, the pancreas, and also the muscle tissue), and low-grade chronic inflammation. Keeping blood sugar reasonably low is a good thing in and of itself, but to really bring the long term risk of other chronic diseases down, one would need to address these root causes as well. We'll talk about strategies that could be used to do that in many future videos. Great question. Hope this answer, fairly short for such a complex matter, makes some sense to you!? Best wishes, Mario

Dear Doctor Thanks a lot for a very informative and detailed video. This has been very helpful. I had a question. In trying to avoid sugar spikes (> 180 mg/dL) one of the strategies some have suggested is to go for frequent (5 or 6) smaller meals rather than fewer (3) regular meals. Wold this not cause the pancreas to produce insulin more often (though in smaller quantities) ? What is better in the long term management of diabetes and pancreatic health? Thanks !

I have not reviewed that literature in a while, and will do that for a dedicated video at some point. The last time I checked, whether you eat more smaller meals or few larger ones did not matter too much for most endpoints, if calorie intake and duration of fasting were matched. That's where it becomes tricky though, because constant snacking may well affect calorie intake and - if the snacking continues into the evening and night - may also affect the fasting window. In other words, before I can say anything authoritative about this, I need to spend some dedicated time again with the literature on that topic. Cheers Mario

Normal fasting blood glucose level = 80-100 mg/dl. Maintained by glucagon and gluconeogenis from protein. Normal postmeal blood glucose level = Normal ( OGTT) Oral glucose tolerance test Fasting level = less than 100 mg/dl After glucose ingestion level = less than 140 mg/dl ( at the 2 hour mark of OGTT) Prediabetes level in OGTT = less than 126 to less than 200 mg/dl Diabetes levels in OGTT : Fasting level : Equal or more than 126 mg/dl Post-ingestion level : equal or more than 200 mg/dl.
