One "trick" that I use is that if I eat something carb-heavy (for me, I really enjoy pancakes and muffins haha), I only eat those in the morning so I have the whole day to burn them off. I actually only eat pancakes on the weekend, and after I have a nice "cheat" breakfast, I make sure I walk 3-4 miles after....usually within an hour of my last bite. I was able to get off diabetic meds a few months ago yet have my occasional treats. I'm a 45 year old male and I actually am fairly active; I walk minium 2 miles a day.

[@MrJudo2go]

Thank you for so many wonderful videos. I'm 68yrs old and I resistance train quite intensely 3 time a week. I've been dealing with type 2 diabetes for 20yrs. The longer I have it, the more difficult it is to control and the more difficult it is to stick to an extremely strict diet. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride with A-1c 6.1 then 6.8. I take Glargine, Victoza, Metformin, Empagliflozin, and Acarbose. I'm not a small man at 6'3" tall and dieted from 285lbs to 231lbs. Sometimes, even though I've dealt with it for as long as I have, and know people who have suffered and died from it, I just get tired of it. I'm trying to keep as much muscle as I can to absorb the glucose, but as I age I also fatigue and it takes my nerves system longer to recover. Doesn't seem like there's an easy way to go through this.

[@WideCuriosity]

As you say there are many factors involved when trying to work out a sensible range of daily carbohydrate intake (or per meal if the number of daily meals are defined). So the examples given will not match all viewers. What would have been nice would be some kind of equation where one could plug in relevant values and come up with good ballpark figures. At present I've simply taken from the video the low values for someone who is in a much more serious position than myself. I'm hoping just to get back to normality without it being vtal to become more active, nor take prescription medication, and hopefully not going overboard trying to cut everything desirable out.

As 28yr old and 3 months ago as new diabetic patient i am also very sport active every week(football) and i sadly i am type 1. My question is, as i am on insulin, before eating pizza sometimes(like 1, 2 times a month) before eating it how much would u recommend to take insulin? So far i using dexcom 7, and my results are between 89-99%-last 30 days 94-99% in green as very good result(as my diabetic nurse told me i am still in honeymoon🤔-and also was only 2 times that i was 89% never before bellow that) atm tresiba i am on 4 units and rapid 2units. So my q is, how many units u would recoment to eat small /medium/ size of pizza? So that wouldn't be very high spike in my blood sugar? Thanks doc and your videos are great !!☝️ Cheers from Ireland🇮🇪

[@albaraabarsheed230]

Read and listen to this topics : 1.(indivisual) carb and insulin ratio . So you can know how many one unit of insulin is going to be equavalent to how many grams of carbohydrate you consume and after that start to calculate the carbs in whatever meal and do the math 2. Correction dose . So if its up the normal you can easily bring it back to normal range After all its journey for the whole life and you have to live and educate yourself with all that complications.

After losing 100 lbs my dr says that based on my numbers she can no longer say i have diabetes, however i now have “severe rebound (reactive) hypoglycaemia.” Is there anything i can take for that. Just to put it into perspective…rice, i can take it or leave it but if i even have 1/2 cup of it my blood glucose spikes and crashes. It crashes usually anywhere between 3.4 and the lowest was 1.7. Is there something i can take so that i can eat some carbs (ie half of English muffing with egg and cheese). I don’t eat a a lot. I fast everyday between 12-20 hours and make sure my first meal is high protein but as soon as i have carbs i suffer for the next 3 hours.

[@alexomar2010]

It happens because you are diabetic already, it is just that your high blood sugar is under control, but you are either missing on beta cells or your body cells do not accept insuling , dont starve, you better switch to a healthier lifestyle, change your diet to a low cab high fat and protein that should help.

0:19 19 seconds in, I was already crying. I've been feeling so desperate with Information Overload with no really good advice. I've been attempting low carb on my own, using keto as inspiration. Today I found out that my glucose was 115 (admittedly, I had eaten about an hour before, unaware I was getting my blood drawn) and my potassium is high - not quite to hyperlalemia (sp?), but enough to know that I'm probably diabetic. My urologist (unrelated to diabetes) recommended I follow up with my regular physician about these labs, since they aren't part of the kidney function she was looking for. (Metabolic label was cheaper than specific kidney tests!) Aware now that my terrible eating last year put me in a serious situation now, I went looking for help.

@@teresa985 Not if your peak is very high. Peak is measure at least at one hour after eating. Frequent peaks higher than 140 for non diabetics are considered a problem in the works already. For a better picture you need to check your BG before and two times after eating. Reactive hypoglycemia can develop if b drops too low too quick. This is when the CGMs are shinning; they minimize the finger poking and gives you a close to real time information with fair accuracy.

I was recently diagnosed when I was hospitalized for another issue (long story...). The Dr came into my hospital room and simply said "blah-blah, numbers, kidney values, white blood cell counts...blah-blah...oh, by the way, you're diabetic now. A nutrition Dr will be in shortly to explain things to you". and he left....I as like...um...wha? huh? Oh...OK. The Nutritionist gave me a binder with a ton of papers in it with meal plans, dos and don'ts and a lot of words that still were a shock to my still ringing ears. But because my diabetes wasn't extreme...I think my A1C was 9.7...She said that for breakfast and dinner, I can consume 60 grams of carbs per meal. She said "4 units of carbs per meal" with one "unit" being 15 grams of carbs...so yeah...math...She gave me a meter, some strips and finger poking things and a book to keep track of my glucose. I looked at that 60 grams, or 4 units of carbs as the absolute maximum and worked to stay way under that... but 60 grams of carbs is going to be difficult. I have to say, my average carb intake *PER* meal was probably 150 to 200 grams because most of my meals were strictly meat and potatoes with bread and some kind of cake or cookies or pastry for desert. So, going to under 60 is going to be tough. This was 6 months ago. I'm averaging about 20-30 grams of carbs for dinner. Zero carbs for breakfast (usually only eggs or Magic Spoon cereal) and about 20 grams of carbs for lunch. In less than 3 months, my weight went from 220 to 190 and has stabilized at that. My A1c went down to 6.1 and that's with 1,000mg of Meformin twice a day and zero exercise. I go and get tested for my A1c again in about 2 weeks and I've been pretty good, although with the holiday season upon us, I am cheating more than I want to admit. I'm still severly reducing my carbs...dinner tonight was meatloaf and riced cauliflower. So, zero carbs...but being German, I did get a box of Lebkuchen for xmas from Germany from my mother (made in Neurenberg Germany)...I can't say no to those traditional German xmas ginger breads. So, we'll see....I don't expect my A1c to go down...but hopefully, it won't go up too much!

@@ritasicari7518 People who have diabetes and want to reverse it with keto usually stay at 10-20 carbs per day.

@@SugarMDs A day or per meal?!

[@jennalud4748]

20 grams per meal? What if you only eat 2 meals a day? Is 30 grams per meal okay, total of 60 grams a day??

[@pettytoni1955]

The idea is to prevent sugar spikes. 20+ carbs at one sitting may spike too high. Try more meals per day, evening out your carb distribution. The lower the carbs, the fewer spikes, and less damage.

I have found keto to be unsustainable for me. I am 64, type 2 diabetic for 17 years, mildly active and on only 1 medicine. Oh, and yes, I am quite "fluffy". Twenty carbs per meal is much more reasonable.

People asked me how I can stay on a keto level of carbs and I just replied, ‘No choice. It’s either that or severe joint pain.’ So I’m very low carb and it works beautifully. Dr. Anthony Chaffee himself is even a carnivore and states recent research does not link this diet to heart disease. As a Layman, I find the contradictions in advice very disturbing! There is a real divisive in the medical fraternity. Still, I enjoyed this balanced video.

20g Carbs per meal is keto? I would say zero carbs is better and eat lots of fat for energy.

[@dianelengyel568]

Thank you for saying sometimes its your bodies fault. I started out on metformin many years ago,my body couldnt tolerate it. Then they tried other meds. I got nauseous and couldnt eat,was sleeping all the time,etc. They immediately took me off all meds and started me on insulin. After many years i was told my bodys barely producing any insulin of its own Guess i feel better knowing its not my fault but my faulty body

Someone said that diabetes is really an eating disorder. You eat way more than what you need. It may not be 100% true but it's really about your food intake vs your physical activity.

[@gaywizard2000]

Because your body is not using glucose it makes you eat more!

[@paulinesoares3594]

Keto is 20 grams carb total a day. Not per meal. It’s 5% carb, 25% protein and 70% fat.

[@cathypang1984]

Are you referring to net carbs or carbs?
