What Causes Type 2 Diabetes (It's Not Sugar!) and How to Reverse It with Dr. Neal Barnard

1 IN 3 AMERICANS HAVE PREDIABETES. MOST DON'T KNOW THEY HAVE IT.
According to CDC estimates, more than 37 million Americans are living with diabetes. Roughly 90-95% have Type 2 diabetes, a serious chronic condition that can lead to heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and vision loss. An additional 96 million are headed down the same path with prediabetes, and 8 out of 10 of them don’t even know they have it.
The good news is Type 2 diabetes can be prevented and reversed with basic lifestyle changes. In this free webinar, best-selling author and physician Neal Barnard, MD, will cut through the confusion about diet and diabetes and present proven, drug-free strategies for preventing and reversing this dangerous disease.

From India. In 1994, my husband had a quad bypass surgery. I found Dr. Dean Ornish's Reversing Heart Disease. I followed the plant based, totally oil and fat-free diet, no processed foods either. Milk and yogurt were skimmed. I never ate eggs and no cheese either. I avoided all foods that had fat in ithem. I lost weight to begin with, but by 2017, I was my heaviest ever. That was 23 years later. I then went low-carb, avoiding fruit, vegetables that grew underground, added olive oil, some butter, whole milk, eggs, and cheese. But I continued being vegetarian. My weight dropped off fairly fast, down 10 kg in a few months, and my hba1c was down to 5.7 from 6.5. I am 77 now, female, very active, and exercise daily to keep fit. That's my story! So the fat free, vegetarian diet did not work for me.

Wow yes he looks shockingly good, which proves how great a fully plant based diet is for health and wellness.

I'm only about 10 yrs fully plant based and feel great benefits (age over 60) with NO pains aches, ilnness medications of any kind and blood results are great in annual tests. Lots of my friends (seom younger) are on meds and have health issues adn expect to have more as they age :( One of the great ways we could help encourage people towards a fully plant based diet, would be to show the anit-aging effects on people who have been that way for years.

It seems that people are different in what diet is optimal for them. I was mostly living a vegan lifestyle for decades. I was full of inflammation, my joints hurt as did my muscles, and I was suffering from anxiety. I started to have a bladder disorder (IC with lesions) and was suffering from extreme pain. Out of the last resort, I went on a complete elimination diet and started a Carnivorous Diet. It's been six months now and my inflammation is mostly gone, my muscles stopped hurting, and my IC is greatly improved. I'm not saying that all plant foods are bad, but that some people may be sensitive to some types of plant foods. I just had blood work done and a coronary calcification test. My blood work was practically perfect and I had zero calcium. I don't know what's right and what's not. I do know that I feel better now than I have in years and I've lost 80 lbs. My A1C is 5.1 and my pressure runs at about 108/72. I'm now skeptical of doctors in general in trusting what they think they know and what messages they are trying to push. This doctor is a hardcore vegan and that's fine if it works for him.

You are so awesome Dr. Bernard, and so humble. Love all the facts you and Cyrus presented here, backed by scientific studies. I have been WFPB for more than 5 years. I was insulin resistant before, steadily gaining weight, and had some conditions that were becoming chronic. Within a few month I had lost 40 lbs, lost Rosacea, arthritis got much better, lost my swollen ankles, lost IBS, lost depression and anxiety, and cholesterol improved. I have had a few deviations on the path, but mostly followed the plan. Then I reached a point where the weight wasn't moving anymore. I then started the intermittent fasting schedule of 16 hours fasting and 8 hours of a feeding window, this past year. I do this most days except after doing weight lifting. So, I have 2 meals, and a couple of low calorie snacks, like fruit. I cut out the occasional processed snack. It made a huge difference, and I lost another 30 lbs! Now my BMI is at 23 and I am pretty content with that. My blood work is great, except I am working on getting my LDL a bit lower. I have lots of energy, and hike, backpack, and garden. Love having clothes fit me well again, and have had to buy new ones! Not a bad problem to have. Love PCRM and Mastering Diabetes. A true life saver. I am 66.

Dr Bernstein's "Diabetes solution" should be required reading. He is a type 1 diabetic, still alive now in his 80s - and without the usual health problems that normally are associated with T1d. He knows from many decades of experience, both in his own life and 1000s of other diabetics he has helped. Hint: he's not saying the same thing as Dr Barnard here. At 46:50, best thing to do is try those breakfast recommendations and then measure how high things like "cinnamon raisin oatmeal" (first on the list) and "orange pineapple crush" (last on the list) send your blood glucose. Next day, try another breakfast with an egg or two, and tea or coffee with nothing in except perhaps a dash of cream. Now measure how high this breakfast sends your blood glucose. Simple. You can check it for yourself, no external influence from "experts", just you and your glucose meter.

Hello all, Eating more fat, increases insulin resistance in the long-term, although it does not elevate the blood sugar immediately . If you are someone that takes insulin, your insulin requirements will keep going up and your diabetes will get worse if they keep on eating fat. The mechanism of insulin resistance walks through accumulation of fat in the cells.

[@ekondigg6751]

@@charishmaboppana You are in dire need of reading Dr Bernstein's book "Diabetes Solution" Although it's for T1d it's still good for T2d

[@elephantintheroom5678]

Obviously you don't understand the process. Blood glucose rising for a very short time before being stored as glycogen is not a problem at all. It is how most healthy people live. The problem occurs when insulin resistance happens, and the insulin cannot carry glucose out of the blood and into the cells. The reason that happens is because the insulin receptors on the cells are clogged with fat.

[@benjaminsmith1145]

I love how these docs tell half truths to their listeners. What causes t2d is chronic inflammation period! When you consume refined sugars and flours it immediately spikes blood sugar. This is a very stressful process for the body. Insulin is released to mitigate and bring sugars under control. When you eat fruits and vegetables the fiber does the mitigating for you get it? When you eat fats and sugar together, it causes stress. The body has to deal with sugar first and then the fat droplets will build up in cells causing more inflammation. This is called the Randle cycle. If you eat predominantly one or the other the body isn't under constant stress which in turn causes inflammation. This is what's really going on instead of their stupid scare tactics saying fats cause heart disease.

[@sidneyeaston6927]

Spot on target, the fat free diet has never worked. If a cell is full it will not absorb fat or glucose unless it is a specialised cell we call those cells fat cells. See Dr David Unwin on you tube, or google his glycemic index to see what foods have the excess sugar in them counted in tea spoons.

After switching to low carbohydrate, healthy fats and moderate unprocessed meat and fish, I lost 25 kg and got rid of all health problems. Now at 72, I'm healthier and fitter than when I was 50. We need healthy fats for the absorbtion of fat soluble vitamins and our brain needs healthy fat too. The problem is that people use highly processed rancid vegetable oils instead of organic cold pressed olive oil or coconut oil and organic butter from grass fed grazing animals.

I was a vegetarian for 9 years and I developed a lot of serious digestion problems. I lost way too much weight and had to stop. My vegetarian friends abandoned me as my problems challenged their world view. Now I am having medical problems with the opposite food philosophy. Clearly the correct path is somewhere between some of these extreme diets. Know your body as a unique creature and find something other that food for rallying together a social life.

Nope. Not until processed foods were introduced and shipped up to them. But, I've heard people describe them as 'rare genetic outliers', or something similar. They are still homosapien sapiens. Like all of us. It''s not whether you eat meat, or vegetables or dairy (unless you have specific tolerance or allergy/condition), it's all the damn processed food and overeating/undermoving. That's really the most of it. And why are the processed foods so bad? Because they are full of modern-created chemicals, additives/preservatives, hydrogenated seed oils, and various forms of sugar and wheat gluten and MSGs. If you justs avoid those, eat whatever you want and you'll be much healthier. It is better to minimize or avoid grain items though (unless you are buying real ancient grains) because most of the stuff in america now is made with dwarf wheat and it's really not good for you (it's what most of our flour is made of, so almost all of our breads, pastas, pastries, cereals, etc are dwarf wheat).

​​@@Hikari7775don't be so sure about it. I did eat quite a junk food (but not the moderns junk food which is a total crap) for some 40 years - during school, later during medical scool and while working in emerency medicine. The reason for that was - I mostly had no time enough to have a good slow cooked meals and I lived in Soviet Union, where good healthy products were privilege to high ranking functionals... My food during service in army was disaster. And nevertheless I was very lean, full of energy and had no problems to work night shifts and carry stretchers with patient when needed. O.K. You can say, it's because I was young... I continued eating crap afterwards, because I continued studying medicine, while working night shifts and mostly was short in time to swallow even that crap I continued to eat. It was all wrong - worst food, very intense mind blowing studies and totally ruined circadian rhythms. Still - healthy and fit, except for a spinal injury from lifting stretchers with an owerveight person and carrying him down very steep stairs. Everything was still fine until I decided to try being vegetarian. It was because of my daughter, who went vegetarian and I decided to support her choice being vegetarian as well. I was avoiding meat of all sorts and fish was never my favorite, neither it was available in abundance in our shops. After year or so I started feeling some small ailments and got a feeling that something is not perfect with my body as was before. I returned to meat, but it didn't improve anything. I started to pay more attention to the quality of my food. At that time I had no more night shifts, the income was good, the food was in abundance (the Soviet time was long gone), but insted of improving, I started to gain weight and my cholesterol and blood sugar started to raise. I stopped any added sugar, any animal fat, didn't eat any butter. Instead I preferred fruits, berries, olive oil and, cottage cheese, skim milk and other "healthy" dairy products. Nothing good came out of eating "healthy". I got sludge in gall bladder and irritable bowel and went to our prominent gastroenterologists. They recommended me to take "good bacteria" and pancreatic enzymes. I took these and everything went worse. Probably, because the "good bacterias" gave me SIBO...Then I decided stop listening to prominent doctors and start listening my body + started searching internet on different opinion, not tought me during my studies of medicine. In the result of that I came to information on carnivore and keto. I started low carbohydrate diet, closer to carnivore than keto. No sugar, no bread, no milk or dairy at all. So far I lost those few kilograms which were around my waist and got back a normal bowel function. This might be anecdotal story, but my life on crap food was way better than when I did healthy diet and being vegetarian was total disaster to me. 😂

How could this Dr still say that cholesterol intake has any effect on circulating blood cholesterol😮. It doesn’t matter if you eat cholesterol or not humans make as much cholesterol as the body requires. Of course saturated fat may contribute to blood cholesterol- but cholesterol does not cause arteriosclerosis. Newer studies are showing that there are other metabolites causing arteriosclerosis and finger is pointing to sugar causing glycation of glycocalyx with resultant inflammation. In fact high blood cholesterol appears to be protective especially in the elderly. Vegetarians/vegan may work for some but ketovore works magic for my 85 year old diabetic mother!

If hungry he ate. Eggs & bacon in the AM, 3 ham sandwiches for lunch at work was the go to meal. He had all quality foods. He ate foods from his garden for 1/3 the year too & that was it for plants but it was high quantity for 4 months with beef. In the supermarkets the rest of the year he pouted on the quality. 😢 He also exercised all in just his yard & in the garden. He never had a weed. He walk to the post office, gas for mower & to his MD even in his 90's all within a mile going one-way. He also slept for 8 hours a day & on schedule.

I started wanting to know more on vitamins & minerals just looking at cal's is not enough as just in the early 2000's they said you can eat anything just stay at 2,000 cal's & that was wrong. If your doing 10k to 15k of steps per day or are inactive doing 1500k to 3k too. You need to fing a balance with a small deficit with you activity. I do just -250 daily cals. Your activities change how much cal intake you need. Take it slow exercise helps send oxygen to your cells & brain. I read only 15% benifit for nutrition which I agree with baded on my #'s I've tracked for 9 yrs now. It's much more complicated than all these diets say. After my dad & pup past & CV started. I gained wight. I now removed it & more. My new goal is going for my high school wait about April 2025 slowly & to keep it off. I started by reducing sugar & carb's to start & increase my fiber #'s when shopping on each item, improve by just a gram at a time & take it slow 🐌 ! Is a good way to start & make sure you still like the taste. I tried all creamers for coffee & they all failed FOR ME so back to milk. They mentioned cheese 🧀 in this video. You don't have to cut it all out but just use less like 1/2 on a sandwich including the bread cut in triangles & load up on the other healthy items & use only 20% on your pizza & add heathy topping like 4oz of mushrooms. You still taste the cheese & don't miss the excess cal's at all. I cut 17 days of cals a yr on just the pizza cheese this yr vs buying from my pizza place. Make your own 🍕 too so you know what's in it. If you don't want to make the crust buy a wheat based one with fiber thats refrigerated like Woodgrilled by the pizza gourmet.

I think we need better science, don't you agree?

[@monikakress3867]

short chain fatty acids are produced in the large intestine where they are the main energy source for the cells that line the large intestine; saturated fat comes in through the food you eat and is absorbed by your small intestine and deposited all over your body including your arteries. scfa is essential for good colon health; saturated fat is not. bottom line: scfa is not fat.

These studies kept track of how much white rice the people ate and how many of them developed type 2 diabetes.
