I got that paralysed the same as you described it but it was from ketoacidosis.....

[@the_rafa0398]

Thanks for all that detailed info, the video may be long but very interesting, so I stayed till the end. I may need to watch it again and again until I assimilate all the info, but the way you explain things makes it not boring. But yes in general it is little hard to stay focused for too long, so perhaps shorter videos and from time to time create 1 or 2 longer ones

[@gaylewayne108]

I learned so much! Thank you. The alcohol segment answered my long standing questions and reinforced my desire to stop obsessing over what I eat. Eating used to be fun, satisfying and social, but my H1c numbers were climbing and suddenly my health took priority over the quality of my life. The cgm became more important than friends and family. Over the past couple of months I have been trying to find the balance that will give me my old life back. You are helping me do that with your videos and personal stories. I wish you a stellar New Year!

[@abou8963]

You are a Miracle Man to me. Thank you. I would be your Patreon if I did that. You are important to me, and I am grateful to you. You are the most important coach I have ever heard.

[@shrubs2k2]

Thank-you for all your videos. I was diagnosed Type II in Jan of this year. After reading and watching so much, I turn to you channel for the best information as it's "real world" and allows me to eat correctly and not get frustrated.

[@michelep.7249]

I like the book The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet by Donald Hensrud. This book teaches to have unrefined carbs and how to measure calories of protein, carbs, and fats in foods. This book also teaches to have a nonstarcy vegetable and a serving of fruit with every meal. My favorite fruit is a cup of cantaloupe. Cantaloupe helps fill me up while not being high in calories.

[@francismartinez2677]

Just wanted to thank you for all the experience you share, helped me a whole lot after becoming type 1, now my A1C is 6.5 from 10.7 and all that is bc I been following your videos.

[@JefferySizemore]

I love your show. Please, can I get more. I confess 2 things. I have no money. However, I take notes and even taking notes😂. Have you ever Considered a live show? I wonder if that would be cool? Maybe you and a friend could go grocery shopping or perhaps cook together and just show the differences in eating habits. Anyway I just want to leave you With my gratitude and let you know that i'm waiting and watching for your next show😊

[@MaralinaDG]

Thank you for sharing! I do love this longer deep dive. As a T1D for 50 years (still MDI - no CGM), had to figure out the hard way that everyone is unique and may have a different experience. For me, any bread is a big NO with terrible BG impacts (I suspect wheat gluten?) and the impact is 24 to 48 hours. Not much into the drinks but will indulge in Prosecco (no impact at all) or hard seltzers sometimes adding SF syrups - not very often though. Most fast food for me is a big no, however, I went vegan and low carb and tried Impossible meat. Surprisingly, almost no impact! I make it into a spicy meatloaf with cauliflower rice (or broccoli or ???). No potato anything for me and it's been probably 30 years. Yup avocado for the win! I will add, I've noticed a change in how my body reacts to certain foods or ingredients. Like pistachios previously had an impact and today, not so much (about 3 years ago - same kind, brand, etc). Again, thank you for sharing! If this was available when I was diagnosed, things would probably be very different in my experience! (oh - so happy your partner knew what to do! Mine has come to my rescue several times - I keep honey sticks next to the bed and for severe lows, oral syringes filled with a little corn syrup.)

[@shuttlepilot]

Tom, another great video! I love Ezekiel breads, and was pleased to see how they shake out in this vid. I do like this longer/deep dive format. Thank you as always, for your attention to detail, and the high quality of your presentations and video productions.

[@josephdeiorio]

Tom, thank you for your video. I'm a Type 2 and while some of your discussions in your videos won't apply to me, most will, and the ones that do not, I learn from, especially since I know type 1 people. Keep up the good work and keep those videos coming! ❤

[@robertbevins5961]

Important to note that flaxseed must be ground for you to get the full benefits. The seed coat is too tough for our bodies to break down, so whole flax seed will go intact, straight through untouched, and since the fiber can't dissolve, it won't help the glycemic index. Check the ingredients for ground or milled flaxseed instead of just flaxseed. If it's just flaxseed, it's a waste. Bakers in the US love putting whole flax in their bread because it looks good, especially on the top of the loaf, and can charge more for lower quality bread.

[@FatCatAnna]

Totally agree with you on this! As a home baker of bread, and a long time T1D since the 1960's. I like bread that tastes good and doesn't flip flop my BG's like a roller coaster ride!

[@shelleyhodgkinson1341]

Tom, thanks for always being honest about what you do and realistic about life. Keep up the good work!

[@nursenurse3577]

I love your videos.very helpful.

I am pre diabetic and started watching you recently. Because of your recommendation to use a CGM, I just ordered the 6 sensor package from Lingo. I've only worn it three days so far but I'm learning a lot from the data. I like your short form videos the best probably, but I watched this whole one and was glad to learn how I can evaluate breads, alcohol, and fast food. Unfortunately my favorite drinks are margaritas and capirinhas, but I don't drink often. I am really enjoying your content and thank you for putting so much hard work into your videos.

[@KegstandOG]

Thank you so much for helping and old fart with new type 2D to understand what is going on with me easier. You constant ratings of different foods helps me as well. Thank you for all you do. I have not drank really since being diagnosed and while I don't need it I like to tie one on every once in awhile. Jager is my mistress though.

You CAN make sugar-free bread in a bread-machine using whole wheat flour, I make a 2lb loaf all the time, it turns out looking just like regular bread, but has zero added sugar. the only ingredients are the whole wheat flour (high in fiber), water, yeast and wheat gluten, a pinch of salt plus some oil (use a O3 good oil). I experimented by removing sugar from the bread machine recipe for bread and it worked out just fine. If you don't mind a bit of a test to satisfy this works for more than just me: eat some white bread pick like wonderbread or something, eat like a slice plain, test your blood sugar and see how hight it goes and for how long, record that over time, then eat a candy with same amount of sugar. I'd almost say eat plain sugar but I'd never suggest that to a diabetic (even though I am one), I've done this test myself. then see how high and how long the spike lasts with pure sugar of the same amount. compare the results. What should "scare" diabetics into eating at least whole wheat bread is that white bread will spike your sugar higher for a longer period than eating the same amount of plain white sugar. it's kinda scary. For bread I make my own or I eat dempsters "smooth multigrain" this is really healthy and yummy stuff. BTW: greek yoghurt up here where I am should be avoided it has many times more sugar than regular yoghurt does. I eat a yoghurt that has 4g of sugar, brand name, but the greek yoghurt here even the stuff labelled low sugar has 20 grams or more of sugar. it's terrible. Want to help cut down on the blood sugar/glucose spikes? eat more fibre with your meals, kinda simple. or eat more meat and fat there's no sugar there.

[@thetraveldrops]

You missed Buckwheat Bread. Its a popular bread worldwide and healthy option too.

Michelob ultra lite beer has 2 carbs and dry wine is very low in carbs

[@berndhutschenreuther8342]

I.bake my bread. So i think it has very few sugar. I have much control. I make the dough in a slow process. I also make sourdough since 5 or 6 years, it works good. But i do not have measurements.

When I order pizza, I don't get cheese and get a thin crust. Helps. More of a bruschetta, but if I get meat on it like sausage or chicken then I do not even notice it is missing cheese. Some tasteful toppings also make it taste more like pizza such as black olives, roasted red peppers, or banana peppers.

[@ray1683]

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much especially the important information about alcohol. I have experienced some lows when I drink whiskey, even if I eat something before drinking. My lows however are between 60 and 70, so not so serious.

[@DutchCarnivore]

I totally agree with your carb to fiber ratio when it comes to controlling blood glucose. However, if you have (autoimmune) gut issues loading up on fiber is not an option, unfortunately.

[@CraigCholar]

There seems to be a loophole in labeling laws in the U.S. because goods that are baked in the store have a label listing the ingredients, but often missing is any nutrition label that has the amount of carbs, fiber, and sugar. Next time you're in Costco or a supermarket with a bakery, you'll see what I mean.

[@diabetesatuniversity]

I wonder if you have tried Irish Soda Bread, it has a unique taste. Per 100 grams, it has 43.8 grams of carbs, 3.4 grams of sugars, and 3.5 grams of fibre. So its carb to fiber ratio is not very good. Bread is great, but the loose breads you get from the bakery usually do not come with a label. This is really difficult when travelling and visiting a central European country where they have all these beautiful breads, but carb counting is guesswork.

[@paulpellico3797]

ok...making bread IF you add inulin fiber to any bread recipe, can you change the ratio? adding inulin to cornbread, or any bread mix should change this ratio and effect the carb loading, right? i guess the real trick is what to manipulate in the recipe to allow for this added fiber with wetness and such

[@starpartyguy5605]

I haven’t been to a fast food place in 2 years. I realized that the cost was comparable to being served a meal at the diner. I can get jambalaya with the rice on the side, a crab cake, or a salad with grilled chicken or shrimp.

[@angelafletcher6526]

I am absolutely useless at maths, would you please explain how to work out the ratios

[@ianjames8794]

Divide the carbs by the fibre

[@Googleit66]

Take total carbs and divide by fibre so 40 grams of carbs devided by 5 grams of fibre is 8 is ratio. Ideally like he said keep it 5 or lower so in this example fibre would have to be 8grams to be good

Thanks for sharing these videos, really awesome and lots of research has gone in to it. So appreciate it. I have a question on consulting oats. I hear mixed version of consuming oats for pre diabetes. What’s your take on this? And how much of oats should one have/day. Thanks 🙏

[@rochelles.8387]

I just order burgers without buns. I don't like the doughy no nutritional content white buns anyway. I asked at a family cafe that makes the best corned beef hash if they could substitute a vegetable for the potatoes and they made mine with green bell pepper instead and it was delicious so don't be afraid to ask for a low carb substitute in restaurants.I will also bring my own Keto bread with me and transfer the fillings onto my bread. Of course I only do this if I go out with really close friends. Type 1 for 55 years.

[@MrMoosct]

I have a question related to glucose spikes. The difference between glucose spikes as a result of eating a meal and the glucose spikes as a result of physical activities. What would be the difference on an HbA1C test? The Glucose monitor will record a spike in blood glucose regardless.

[@jeremysungphun8820]

Could you please tell me after how many minutes or hours after eating meal blood glucose becomes highest.

I am sick and tierd being told to change my diet for most of my life I had a heart healthy diet. Then it changed.

[@eddieliao1500]

Sourdough is a process how you make a bread. But still you need to pay attention on the ingredients. For example, is the flour whole wheat, black rye, or mixture with white flour. If the sourdough bread is made of white flour, I'd recommend not to eat it. Whole wheat or black rye sourdough bread is still best option for diabetes.

[@karynstouffer3562]

Fast food; If you live near a Whataburger, you can order just about any of their sandwiches without the bun. Chipotle is fantastic with customization. Choose your battles, and do what you need to do for your body.

[@OmMohamed-fr2ob]

Please show me how to count the fiber to carb ratio?

[@starpartyguy5605]

All those breads have around 40 g of carbs. I use a small slice oat nut bread that has only 14 g of carbs. It has 1 g of fiber and 1g of sugar. 80 calories per slice.

[@Alexjandro1991]

Something I really hate is the alcohol. I dont drink much at all but NO BRAND of alcohol comes with the sugar/fat/protein content on it, so I cannot dose my insulin. Thankfully I dont drink much, but I will take in mind about whisky in case I feel like drinking I have a 5.7% right now but it is mostly by not eating many carbs at all. All the food is turning into unhealthy, sugary and fast carbs, so not many chances of eating carbs (unless I meal prep something myself)

I love your channel, Tom. I have become a Type II diabetic due to the kidney transplant drugs I need to take. I find your videos extremely educational, easy to understand and very thoughtful. QUESTIONS: in a few of your videos when talking about breads, you show yourself eating a dark, seedy and chewy bread that you eat. Is this a bread you make yourself or is it store-bought? Can it be bought in the US?
