01:21 🍞 Avoid "naked" carbs, like toast with jam or fruit juice, as they cause significant blood sugar spikes. 02:29 🥑 Cover carbs with fat, protein, or fiber (e.g., Greek yogurt on cake) to slow down glucose absorption and reduce spikes. 04:06 🍳 Opt for a savory breakfast (e.g., omelet instead of pancakes) to avoid blood sugar spikes; fruits should be consumed whole. 06:10 🚫 Avoid coffee on an empty stomach to prevent blood sugar spikes, as caffeine can impact adrenaline production. 06:53 🍽 Sequence food consumption: Veggies first, proteins/fats second, and starches/sugars last to potentially reduce spikes by 20-30%. 09:08 🍴 Eating slower and taking breaks between courses can reduce blood sugar spikes, especially in carb-heavy meals. 11:27 🍰 Consume sweet foods as dessert after a balanced meal with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to moderate blood sugar spikes. 13:30 🥄 Drink vinegar before meals (or include in salad dressing) to potentially reduce glucose spikes by about 10-15%. 14:54 🍔 Stop obsessing over calorie counting; focus on food quality and impact on blood sugar levels instead. 16:05 🚶 Move after eating to help muscles absorb glucose; for insulin-dependent diabetics, consider pre-bolusing (injecting insulin before meals) based on CGM trends.

[@rockstarsnare]

I recently discovered your KZbin channel and I really appreciate the free content. I’ve found it very helpful as a type 2 diabetic. I really wanted to book a 45 min consultation with you Tom but the $199 USD fee was a financial issue for me. I know you’re not offering medical advice and your time and is valuable of course but this fee is even more than what a medical specialist would charge for an initial consultation. I just wished it was more affordable.

[@TorBoy9]

Thank you for confirming Jessie's hacks. You provide a lot of credibility. The tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water is like a pre-bolus for those that are not T1 diabetes. Good information.

Hach #7 has been a game changer for me. I would drink 2 cups then drive to work then eat breakfast. My stress level was already high before starting work, everyone iritated me, and I would have a wicked crash in the afternoon. I now drink coffeE after eating breakfast. No more afternoon crashes, much less stress, and my BP has gone down.

[@miztropraineraine9923]

I found Jesse’s hacks including the injecting insulin about 10 minutes prior to meal the best thing that has worked for me. I have also gone a little further by including cruciferous vegetables (eg broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) with every meal.. if I’m making stews, casseroles or curries I cut the veggies in big chunks and place them in the pot for the last 10mins cooking time so that it steams and easily pick out when serving. Eating extra vegetables has really been a game changer for my diabetes and jesse’s hack helped even more..

[@_Mikekkk]

You need only 1 hack = zero carbs in your diet. Go for keto or carnivore diet and forget about your diabeties forever. I almost do not eat any fruits/vegetables, I eat meat, fish, eggs, butter and my blood sugar is the same before and after meals nice and stable. My body weight is perfect.

[@jeffchastain2977]

Injecting insulin 10 or even 15 minutes before eating is not a hack. It's something that has been recommended to Type 2s for years. But one caveat: If you are eating out, make sure you don't inject your meal bolus before the server takes your order AND you ask your server how the kitchen is doing as related to time. If he or she says your order is going to take a while(explain to them why you are asking), then wait until you actually get your food to inject. I had a difficult time once when a favorite restaurant that normally served dinner about 20 minutes after ordering, didn't serve my dinner for almost 40 minutes after I took my dinner shot. I was going low, fast.

There are no rules that apply to everyone. Everyone is an individual. This is also what he said in the video.

[@ArqaDeaTribe]

These sorts of ACME general guidelines are just concepts for people who don't actually have Diabetes at all, are very new to being diagnosed with it, or are Type 2....which to be honest isn't even close to the same illness. Type 1 is deadly serious, and is based on having a non functional pancreas. IE: a vital organ that doesn't work. Made up for by taking synthetic insulin, which has quite it's own number of issues. But it's that or death, and fast....so you take it. That said, it's incredibly complex to manage as time marches on. The things you mention, most Type 1 people have always done. Because if they didn't, they'd probably be dead or missing limbs years back by now. That said, I usually find the people with so much advice to give are usually the people least qualified to say anything about it at all. Minus guys like Tom on this channel, who is truly Type 1, and talks about all the realities of it. He gives really good advice and things to try. As others have said, nobody is exactly the same. So some things work for some of us and not others. I love Tom's channel. Thanks for doing it Tom! I've been asked for years to do something similar or teach newbies at a hospital how to cope, manage, deal with the emotional and mental challenges of it all, etc. Because I've worked very hard and figured a lot of things out over decades. But alas, I'm not quite as courageous in that department as Tom to be in the limelight with it.

Tom, thank you so much for all your information. My first husband was diabetic, so I am familiar with it, and at the age of 45, I developed severe reactive hypoglycemia. So need to follow the same diet, watch my blood sugars, etc. Medicare won’t pay for a CGM for me, but your vid’s convinced me that it would be money well spent to pay for one on my own instead of continuing to live in fear of another seizure from low blood sugar. I found Jesse a few months ago, also, and I don’t follow all her hacks, but through trial and error have figured which ones work the best for me. Between that, and the information you have, I have been able to slowly get back out into the real world again. Thank you so much for all your hard work !

Jessie's 10 hacks made great sense to me, but it's reassuring to me that a very knowledgeable and articulate person with Type one diabetes (you) also sees the 10 hacks as legit and valuable. I also very much appreciated your review of all of the CGM's. In the near future I'll a CGM for a month too and really see how what I eat and how I eat it translates into my blood glucose levels.

[@selambengp]

An excellent exercise recommendation to do after a meal is squeezing your glutes. You can do this exercise while sitting or lying down. Squeeze your glutes 20-30 times, then hold for a few seconds. You can also engage your hamstrings while doing this exercise. Repeat this process for ten sets. The glutes are the largest muscles in your body, which means they have the potential to absorb and utilize the carbs (glucose) in your bloodstream.

This is so crazy that I found this video. I was researching BGR from Duncan Hines Keto cake mix. Being a KZbin creator sometimes I just don’t have time to mix up my own so I’ve started using it lately in mug cakes. My BG didn’t seem to budge, even eating a couple crumb cake cupcake’s after my latest recipe. That brings me to my modifier, heavy whipping cream which added FAT!! Now have to make the recipe both way and see what show up on my cgm😊 Thanks for the excellent info

I knew about these techniques from other KZbinrs so nothing is new. The only thing that is is that the info is being presented by a diabetic. That is new and a billion times more relatable. You made a good point that I totally overlooked. She and the others don't have this disease. My A1c is at 5.4 (T2 and on no meds) and I still get spikes up to 180. They come back down but they shouldn't go that high. I think the hacks work for a while and the body gets used to it. The results I saw before don't seem to be happening now.

The best thing is to go for a walk after eating every meal. Also include a small salad or slaw w/apple cider vinegar with every meal. and beef seems to also keep the blood sugar spikes down as well.

[@DavidGoshadze]

A good tip to calculate pre-bolus timing, that works very well for me, is to divide my current BG by 10 and wait that many minutes before I start eating. For example, if I'm at 130, I inject the amount of insulin that I need for that extra 30, and also for the the meal I'm about to eat. And then I wait for 13 minutes. The reason I love this tip is that it's so easy to follow. Anyone can do divisions by 10 hehe.

[@tcrosslinho5565]

How does that work if you use Mmols

[@ArqaDeaTribe]

For mmol, you'd multiply your number X 18 to convert, then divide by 10.

[@Hardy_Productions]

@@tcrosslinho5565 I think the most similar method for mmol is to multiply the first number by 2 and thats your number of minutes to wait. So if you're at 7 mmol (130ish) you'd wait 14 minutes...

[@loridemir4689]

How do you correct for the extra 30?

[@Nasserist1969]

I don't inject my entire insulin before the meal. I inject 1/3rd before the meal and the other 2/3rd of the dose approximately 1 hour of the meal, this works for me because I LATE spikes.

The problem with taking your insuline 10-20 minutes before you eat is that you are not guaranteed to eat what’s on your plate, so it’s a big risk for hypoglycaemia

[@sebastiansandvik825]

Not to mention that it can be difficult to know the carbs in advance, like at a restaurant. You also need to be really careful not to double down - it has happened to me quite a few times, when I've pre-bolus'd, and then our toddler has thrown a pre-dinner tantrum, and I've then gone on to take insulin again when sitting down out of habit. Then I have to go raid the cupboard with the sweets...

[@wdqy9143]

@@sebastiansandvik825i have grown tired of that so i started taking a reasonable amount of insulin before every meal which can be 5 then after I receive my meal add more insulin into it and eat slower.. in short split my insulin into two just in case. As for the sitting down and and taking your insulin again do a small type of reminder for yourself when im out id put my insulin pen on the table and right after i take my insulin i put it in my pocket now it has became a habit to never take my insulin twice.

I always eat some greens with my lunch niece I typically have Cous Cous with mackerel or any oily fish, with spinach and red onion and other bits.

And eat one small bite of cheese BIRE. And snack on BIRE once more before first meal at 1-2pm lunch time.

Thanks for the video. I always drink coffee with unsweetened almond milk in the morning. I have my savory breakfast around 12. Almost always within range until 4-5 am. "clothingc coffee with milk saves my morning. Give it a try

Very useful information! Keep up the great videos!

Thanks, will do!

One more Bonus point from my side for reducing the fasting blood glucose level - have a teaspoon of Apple Cider vinegar added in a glass of water and have it before you go to bed the previous night. You will certainly see the fasting blood sugar level getting reduced the next morning!!! Keep doing this regularly to see a marked improvement in your fasting sugar levels.

Drink it with a straw to protect your teeth.

Does it make you lose weight?

[@txokoil]

Pre-bolusing is the best. I tipically pre-bolus between 20 to 30 minutes before the meal, but this obviously depends on the macros of the meal and my prior glucose level. If done right I can completely avoid the spike. However big meals are dangerous: when the meal is bigger than usual I have to reduce the time because my digestion slows significantly and it is easy to end with a hypo followed by a delayed spike.

[@Dbestskills]

Prebolus is the most powerful thing to stop blood glucose spikes. It's just the length of time used that makes the biggest difference for me. Some of these "hacks" alone can work but relying on them all just gives you a balanced meal. Having a balanced meal is healthier than a meal with just carbs. Lastly some of these hacks can be dangerous if used too much and/or used alone. The affect for example of using vinegar can cause metabolic alkylosis because it can become a buffer solution and that is just a simple part of the complex physiology that the body has and uses with these hacks. I'm not saying they are wrong or that they are bad, I'm only saying that the real hack is just balancing your meal, with the right amount of carbs, protein and fats. Also the timing and amount make a difference. Being a type one diabetic for more than most of my life, I found that learning and adjusting the prebolus is the most powerful tool for preventing hyperglycemia spikes and eating a balanced meal with the correct prebolus and even using longer insulin absorbing times or carb absorbing times can prevent hypoglymic spikes and is the reason for the body homeostasis and metabolic reactions. These hacks are ways to create "better" homeostasis, but really it's all about the balance and there is no hack or recipe that can replace that. Just my opinion through experience and some knowledge.

and skip carbs there chief. KETO.

I have type 2 and take metformin and glipizide. Some of these hacks I have been doing for years. What has also helped me is eating a low carb, no added sugar vegan diet and regularly working out. That being said I wanted to throw a warning that I experienced. For 6 months I was put on a hormonal birth control for peri-menopause. Then last Oct. I found out that the HBC had elevated my A1-C so I stopped taking it immediately at the suggestion of my PCP.

[@calibby85]

Curious, why vegan?

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

@@calibby85 I tried it as an experiment and let's just say my body had such a wonderful positive reaction. Also there's just something about eating something that was once living that's kind of gross.

[@debrapolenz2928]

While researching it was mentioned about taking steroid medication, and birth control was included in this. Which I had no idea birth-control would contain steroid. This is interesting and deserves more research.

[@debrapolenz2928]

As for eating, something that was living, everything you eat lives including vegetables. Also, in the food chain everything beats everything smaller pretty much like that.

I've found that honey roasted peanuts don't spike my glucose so a handful of them at dessert works for me. I've lost 35 lb since March (after a quad bypass in the interim) after 4 months. I also did a restrictive calorie diet keeping it to around 1200 calories along with intermittent fasting. I'm a type 2 and I'm hoping to get my system back under control, so I can occasionally eat some of the foods I like. I need to lose another 20 or 25 lb before I'm satisfied.

[@MOAB-UT]

Skip the lectin full peanuts.

@@MOAB-UT Ah, yes, remove the one thing that I enjoy. Thanks, I'll get right on that.

I was diagnosed with 'LADA' type 1 a couple of years ago. I got very ill, but have been doing well getting used to insulin. I'm 40. I want to learn more about living well with type 1. I hear folks talk about how a low carb diet is helpful, but I'm confused and would like to run something by everyone here. Before the hospital told me to start on insulin, I was exhausted all the time, losing weight rapidly, and feeling like crap, because the carbs in my diet / the glucose in my blood weren't being converted into energy for my cells. At least, that's how I understand it. So, how would a low carb diet be different? Granted, if I ate very little carbs I wouldnever be hyperglycemic, but wouldn't I also be lacking in the energy we get from carbs? So it seems like it is better to eat a moderate amount of carbs and use insulin to try to imitate a working pancreas. Am I thinking about that in the right way? I would love to get some perspectives from other diabetics as I feel quite alone with this condition
