I became type 2 diabetic in 2021. I refused meds and said I would change my diet and that's what I did. I reversed it 4 months later. I lost a lot of weight quickly. I only eat food I make myself. At the beginning my body and brain were in a battle but I stuck rigid to it and eventually my body and brain clicked into sync. My body now looks amazing and I feel fantastic. The only treat I eat daily is a homemade flapjack and I make a batch of one week's worth. Weirdly my eyesight has improved, but here is the kicker. This is a lifelong dietary change, it's not something I can dip in and out of and it takes discipline. I don't crave sugar anymore, but I feel like a 25 year old in a body that now only looks like the body of a 25-30 year old in peak physical form and I'm 59. I keep a photo of myself on the fridge to remind myself how I used to look. It's a great motivator to keep on track. Exercise wise, I walk just 20 minutes a day at a fast enough pace to get my heart rate up. Now I do intermittent fasting and don't have breakfast until mid morning and don't eat after 8pm. All I can say is it's like I have shed the body of an old avatar and I am in a new fresh body full of energy. It's like I have been reborn.

@@richardjackson5380 Im just curious... what did she not get right or not understand about insulin resistance? I noticed she said insulin only comes into play during a glucose "spike" which I think is wrong... insulin is created no matter the level of glucose. Also, she said insulin wont "dispose" of extra glucose which is pretty weird thing to say. Nothing is being dispose of.
@Hertz2laugh9 ай бұрын
@@Jojo-o6o6w She claims that it is the amount of insulin in your body that causes insulin resistance (she compares it to how humans develop resistance to caffeine). This isn't true. Over exposure to insulin doesn't cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs in any cell whenever that cell reaches it's maximum "energy" processing limit. Insulin resistance is a safety system for cells that protects them against damage from being overexposed to glucose. As the lady correctly pointed out, whenever there are toxic levels of glucose in the blood, insulin is released. The insulin then attempts to deal with the toxic levels of glucose by moving the glucose out of the blood and into various muscle and organ cells for processing. Well, just like there is only so much glucose that the bloodstream can handle safely, individual cells also have a limit to how much glucose they can contain safely. So, if insulin is trying to get a specific cell to take in more glucose than it can safely handle, that specific cell will lock out its insulin receptors and begin "resisting insulin." So insulin is saying, "hey, I need to get rid of this excess glucose now." But once a particular cell is at its glucose capacity, it starts to say, "I refuse to take any more of the glucose." So it is not just that there is a lot of insulin randomly floating around in the blood. The real issue is that cells have reached maximum glucose capacity and have locked out insulin because insulin wants to have them take in more glucose. It's a matter of glucose capacity, not insulin exposure.

No such thing as "Insulin Resistance". Made up term. What does exist is: (1) Not enough insulin is produced, (2) Eat more than body uses and not enough physical activity, (3) Iatrogenic induced higher glucose from medication. I've never seen an insulin injection not lower glucose levels. These modern buzz words "Glucose Spike" or "Insulin Spike" feed the industry with profits, and she sells books. Eating raises glucose and insulin takes glucose where it's need for ATP cellular energy, nothing bad about that. And nobody should mess with the process unless their numbers are very high. Ideal glucose numbers have been lowered so basically almost anybody can be called diabetic. Fasting glucose 140-180 were "normal" and only above 250 was considered possibly diabetic because above 250 keto acidosis was a concern. Pediatrics more recently lowered children's levels and now more kids can be labeled and treated. Originally kids with bedtime levels of 200 were "normal". Higher morning glucose levels "Dawn Phenomenon" is nature's evolutionary way of giving people energy in the morning because humans didn't eat 3 meals and in between snacks daily. The industry changed parameters and demonizing of natural processes created the situation, which is actually more of a mental thing.

@@Peace-tx7fc Hello from Germany. I try to answer you in my non-perfect english 🙂 Your fasting blood sugar level stays in normal range also if you already startet to get insulin resistant. When you messure this blood sugar, you can see, that your body still can manage your blood sugar level, but you don't messure how much effort your body has to do to reach it. the body needs more and more insulin to get the same result of blood sugar level ,because it gets slightly more and more resistant of insulin. Any day your body is not able anymore to keep the level unter 100, although you are full of insulin. The hb A1c marker rises then. This show the average blood sugar over the last 3-4 month. If this marker is above 5,7 you devloped an insulin resistance already and if you don't change anything, it's getting worst. any time you have 6.2 and any day you are above 6.5, than it's Type 2 Diabetes. Hope you understand, why your doctor sais "Prediabetes" even if your blood sugar is ( *still* ) around 85, when your A1c already is like 6.2. Thats way too high already.

What does exist is: (1) Not enough insulin is produced, (2) Eat more than body uses and not enough physical activity, (3) Iatrogenic induced higher glucose from medication. I've never seen an insulin injection not lower glucose levels. These modern buzz words "Glucose Spike" or "Insulin Spike" feed the industry with profits, and she sells books. Eating raises glucose and insulin takes glucose where it's need for ATP cellular energy, nothing bad about that. And nobody should mess with the process unless their numbers are very high. Ideal glucose numbers have been lowered so basically almost anybody can be called diabetic. Fasting glucose 140-180 were "normal" and only above 250 was considered possibly diabetic because above 250 keto acidosis was a concern. Numbers close to hypoglycemia is not normal. Pediatrics more recently lowered children's levels and now more kids can be labeled and treated. Originally kids with bedtime levels of 200 were "normal". Higher morning glucose levels "Dawn Phenomenon" is nature's evolutionary way of giving people energy in the morning because humans didn't eat 3 meals and in between snacks daily. The industry changed parameters and demonizing of natural processes created the situation, which is actually more of a mental thing.

Im 33 years old, i was just told yesterday evening by my doctor that im insulin resistant, she said she was suprised, given that i am young, not overweight, and overall healthy. She said that it was genetic. Which honestly has made me feel kinda hopeless. Ive been trying to understand whats going on in my body and trying to understand what to do about it. Thank you for your video its given me hope and is helping me better understand what this information means! Im so grateful ❤

I’m in the same boat! I’m relatively conservative in my carb and sugar intake. I don’t like to overeat, and if anything, I’m considered borderline underweight. And yet, at age 41, I’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic!! After observing the rest of my lifestyle, I see that lack of adequate sleep, lack of exercise, and poor stress management are the likely culprits. (Turns out cortisol and lack of sleep can totally increase insulin resistance and wreak havoc on your hormone balance, which also can contribute to insulin resistance!) These 4 hacks in this video, along with better sleep and exercise, give me hope that I can make small changes to reverse this in time!

Yep, I started my journey with 600, went to urgency to lower it to 350. I started by using meds and trying to not eat any sugar, flour, tortillas and I kept my glucose in that range. Later on I watched videos promoting walks after each meal and it did help but I had to walk 30 to 60 minutes because I ate too much. After I reverted my diet to a more healthy one and started running in the mornings I stabilized my glucose to normal levels without meds. Even now I haven't exercised but it's quite rare to go off the charts whenever I eat something even with added sugar. And this was from may 1st to now, so it's doable to recover from being diabetic.

My Endocrine specialist in Europe told me to walk fast for 30 mins, after a meal...but to WAIT for 20 mins first, until the food began digesting., then walk fast! And she also said to do resistance "training". I asked her if mowing my huge 2,000 m square paddock, would qualify, as I have the drag the mower back and forth around trees etc. She thought for a while and said OK, but try and do other resistence exercises too, because being female and in my 80's, one must be aware of osteoporosis. Good strong exercise helps prevent the bones losing their strength.

Hi GG! a big fan here from the Philippines! just last Dec. 2023, I was diagnosed as a diabetic at the age of 22. With a whooping number of 195 Fasting Blood Sugar and 8.52 HBA1C. I haven't got my period too for almost 6 months! I ran into your videos with Marie Forleo and it changed my life! Just went back to the doctor last March 19 and my Fasting Blood Sugar plays at 100-120 and my HBA1C is 6.30. The results are still high but I am very happy that it already went low in just 3 months. I am a bit strict in my food intake tho, I only consume 100g of rice in lunch and I also give myself a treat of dark chocolate sometimes... I am also very active, I go to the gym, play badminton, run and even dance. I didn't expect that my life now would be this exciting and amazing! I also got my period back!

I started these hacks at the beginning of August, 2024... It is now middle of October. I used veggies for breakfast, then different kinds of beans and peas...small amounts, after the veggies. I stayed away from sugar as much as possible. I also used chia, and flax seeds. Here is the list of vegetables I used... Cabbage Parsley Brussel sprouts Colliflower Carrots Broccoli Zucchini Celery Cucumber Avocados Olive oil Cinnamon I blended the celery and cucumber in a juicer. Also used various herbs... I put different herbs in a pan with water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the stove, and let the herbs cool. You may drink the herbs as a tea, or put a little in your food. What happened?... * I now have more energy * My bloated stomach, and fat around my waist melted away...without exercise. I keep looking in the mirror in amazement * My skin tone looks better * I feel healthier * My lungs are healthier * I can climb a lot more stairs now without being breathless The veggies are very filling, but I felt the need for a little carbs or something. So I used a slice or two of toasted light rye bread, with nice creamy butter or small piece of cheese. That took care of the craving. Big thanks to you. Sending Love. 🍵🍰

Hey! Just wanted to kindly tell you that this is not the whole true. She even said "t2d is not 100% gentic". She rightfully said that but if i have to put it in more words, genetics still play a role in the etiology of t2d. If you have a twin with t2d, the canses of you getting td2 is 50% higher (higher than the rest of the popolation). Also, 25% higher if you have a sibling with t2d. Scientists found mutant genes like TCF7-L2, KCNQ1 in people that have t2d. People that don't have t2d but have these mutant genes, have a higher risc of developing t2d (what is called a genetic susceptibility) but ofc, is not always the case because there are many many other factors that you can control. The ideea is that everyone should try to better their lifestyle habits but those with genetic susceptibility should be more willing to do it. PS: sorry for all the numerbs and the fancy genes name, i just didn't want tot tell "science facts" without backing them up.

it is genetic, it's the Randle Cycle which is a protective process entirely under the control of your genes. mixing carbs and fat will activate the Randle Cycle, blockading glucose from entering the cells of your body (to protect them from glycative damage and to protect the mitochondria from burnout) when this happens chronically, the glucose will pool in the blood (aka diabetes). solution: cut either carbs or fats from the diet. fats are essential for many processes of the body, carbs are not (as the body can produce its own carbs via gluconeogenesis); ergo, cut carbs.

You've done a pretty good job of organizing the information that Dr Jason Fung started preaching several years ago. I think your video would have been better if you had talked about mitochondria and dysfunctional mitochondria. You mention in this video that over time insulin doesn't work so well. In fact, insulin works the way it always has over time. The problem is that the mitochondria become dysfunctional over time when the person eats too much sugar, starch, and processed foods. Healthy mitochondria can easily switch back and forth between energy types: carbs and fats. Dysfunctional mitochondria pretty much just run on carbs. They have trouble switching back to using fat as a source of energy. Why? Because too much insulin is produced and will not let the mitochondria use fat as an energy source. The secret to healing dysfunctional mitochondria is to go on a low carb diet, do lots of fasting and Zone 2 bike rides for about 6 months. The body goes into a state of mytophagy and the damages mitochondria are discarded and new vibrant mitochondria are grown. After 6 months some resistance training should be implements in order to make the new mitochondria become more robust. At this time it is OK to add carbs back to your diet. However, don't eat carbs in sufficient quantity to spike blood sugar. If you do, then the whole problem will come back. You will damage your mitochondria again.

I love your explanations! I bought a cgm, at my Drs urging, because my fasting glucose labs was 104. I am gluten free so I don’t eat any grains, I eat clean, restrict sugar and fast for 17/18 hours every day. The Dr instructed that I experiment and do my best to find foods that do not make my glucose jump past 100. I have discovered, in just 2 days, that just about everything I put in my mouth makes my glucose spike over 100 and it stays over 100 for the rest of my eating window. At night it levels out to about 94 and stays there all night, until I take a bite of food. The highest jump was to 118 when I had potato soup. (I knew that was risky.) How does one find foods to eat that won’t increase glucose.? This seems like an impossible task!

I haven't taken it for 3 weeks or so now Thank you so much for the great information that will certainly save lives.

I think it sometimes follows that we suffer like our parents in some ways because we tend to copy their ways, recipes, diets etc as it's familiar to us. It can take a while to see that it's not always the best way just because it's familiar.

I combine the Glucose Goddess's hacks with a low carb diet and put my T2D into remission and kept it there for close to a year now. When I am going to eat a higher carb meal, I use the apple cider vinegar hack, and I eat my proteins, low carb veggies, and fats first. I also try as much as possible to do a short walk after a meal to use up some of that energy. It really helps to know how your body works.

I add vinegar to every meal I eat that has carbs. I either make a salad dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Mrs Dash seasoning and eat it first. Or mix a tablespoon of vinegar and water 50/50 and down it like a shot whiskey, then follow it with more water. You don't want very acidic foods like vinegar to stay on your teeth for very long. It will weaken the enamel.

Starches are sugar are not the only source of glucose/energy for your body. Protein converts into glucose without causing an insulin spike, it's a different pathomachanism. Understanding this is paramount for diabetics. Diabetic people need more fat and protein.

@Someone-vn9ce4 күн бұрын
As a type 1 diabetic that has been on continuous glucose monitors for many years the absolute number 1 hack I have found to keep from having spikes (other than eating foods low on the glycemic scale) is the ORDER in which you eat the foods in your meal. You should always eat your high fiber foods first (since they slow down digestion) then your protein and good fats then your starchy and higher carb foods at the end of the meal. That makes a world of difference in glucose spikes. Adding fiber with anything you eat is also very important. The reason you subtract fiber from total carbs to get net carbs on which to base insulin use is because fiber slows down digestion and the impact the carbs have on your blood sugar spikes. So, fiber is also incredibly important.

The reason why I am on a Keto(ish) diet. There is this thing that I call "noise". A constant craving for food that never stops. I had no idea it existed because I was used to it. Then I had Gastric sleeve surgery. That meant basically no food for quite awhile and just liquids. And then I noticed the noise was gone. You notice the absence of things. It was bliss. I was shocked. It was like when you enter a sound booth and its quiet. it hits you. And then one day the noise came back. Knowing that it is there made me try to figure out what caused this and after some trial and error I pinpointed carbs. When I have a (One) bagel, I am craving food for 24 hours. Does not stop. Not spiking my BG is the only way to keep the "noise" away and makes not overeating fairly easy. I have added 16/8 intermittent fasting to this. But just to give me a rule to stop eating anything after a time. It did not help loosing weight, it's just a mental fridge door that I am closing at 8pm.
