Thank you for this information and analogy. As a person 66 yrs old, hx of weighing 240 lbs and a miserable existence, keto and fasting became a way of life. I turned my life around restoring good mental and physical health. There is one big thing I had to learn, carbs are like heroin, it only takes a little in the diet to wake up cravings. I’ve had to return to strict elimination of grains, sugar and vegetable starches. Daily podcasts like this one is therapy for me!

To be a truely normal healthy human and avoid all the chronic physical and mental diseases, you must be a fat burner producing ketones from birth. Then again it is never too late.

The following may not apply 100% to your discussion but here it is. I've never had Diabetes but after 3 stents in 2014, and after a heart attack in 2017 I knew I was doing something wrong and the only conclusion was the SAD was killing me . Went low carb Jan 1, 2018 and that dropped my trigs plus my A1C tested so low my Dr said he had never seen anyone that low, it's went up a little the following years on each 6 month test but it's still 4.8. That and trigs were my two worries.

For over 20 years I was a diabetic. I was over 200lbs heavier, and on 300+ units of insulin every day and had A1C's in the 14's. 4 years of keto, about a 10 months of pure carnivore, and now carnivore with a few veggies. My last A1C came back at 5.1 with no diabetic medication. Everything else that has healed and doesn't hurt any more is amazing as well.

[@EmilNicolaiePerhinschi]

one argument for "low carb" that I have not heard anywhere is: before agriculture the availability of carbohidrates was seasonal. Grains were cultivated because they stored very well over long time. Wheat can be stored for up to 12 years, depending on how dry the storage space is, and how protected from insects and rodents; as late as 100 years ago holding as many as 3 harvests in reserve was a common practice in the steppe area, that is Hungary, Romania, Southern Ukraine and Southern Russia). Before agriculture carbs would have been available for a few months every year only, and for not having settlements long storage term storage was not an option.

[@coweatsman]

Thus the historic importance of that humble carnivore, the household cat, Could we have stored so many carbohydrates in the form of grains without him?

Thank you for this! Have been keto/carnivore for 10 months. Diabetic. My A1C went up to 6.1 from 5.7. But my fasting insulin was 5.5. I think my body/liver just wants to maintain a certain glucose level in my blood of 110 -120. This discourages me and i have often wondered if I shouldn't just quit checking my blood. So i was happy to hear that there may just be a new normal for carnivore dieters, especially diabetic people. I am willing to let this work out over years and not months. After all it took me a couple of decades to get here.

Dr. Westman, again, very well done. You are always the voice of reason and calm.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease from excessive carbs destroying the endocrine system and mitochondria over time. It has nothing to do with weight, although weight is a good indicator the person is consuming excess carbs and likely has a fatty liver. I'm 5-11, around 155 lbs, and was prediabetic from eating "healthy" whole foods. Didn't drink sodas, avoided desserts and grains, had little sugar. But did drink and eat lots of fruits and starches which did it.

I had atrial fibrillation about two years ago. Luckily I managed to cure it even though it was non-proximal with intermittent fasting and a low carb, very low sugar diet. I now always do 17 to 19 hours a day fasting. It has improved everything, and I wish I discovered this many years back. I now have the energy of when I was in my 20's and although I am quite a slim build, I've managed to put on a moderate amount of muscle, which I think is due to growth hormone release when you are fasting for a longer fast. For me it dropped my inflammation like a stone, and took roughly 9 months to really see serious improvements. Before I discovered this and had no idea about how carbs can spike your insulin (that includes sugar of course and fruit) I tried eating quality grains, quality fruits, but I just felt terrible I noticed when monitoring my glucose how much of a spike I was getting.

I don't know what will doctor say but when you are on low carb something has to replace the sugar as fuel for cell. And that replacement is cholesterol from fat cells or fat from food. At first is cholesterol released to blood stream and than liver can make from it ketones.

Hello doctor! I hope this question can get an answer. I recently started carnivore. I noticed quickly I like the taste of cooked meat from being prepared on the bbq. Versus the stove top. Are there disadvantages or advantages to this. Of late, I bbq all my meat. I was assuming I might lose fat. However, I do melt some grass fed butter in sauce pan and put it onto the meat. Hoping this helps add healthy fats. I'm mostly concerned about cancer promotion from info I thought I heard awhile back. Hope you can bring clarity. Thank you!

Please stop advosing against data collection on the ggrounds that ot might cause anxiety. That is very individual and personality dependant. For some that data is engaging and motivating, and your belief has been used to deny access to useful technology by putting it behind a prescription 'paywall'.

I agree! I love data! I find using a glucose meter to be reassuring, empowering and motivating. I check my own A1C periodically, too. A dumbed down over-the-counter CGM version is supposed to be available this summer or fall. I’m excited!

Does PETA know that you're boiling live frogs?

Great doctor, story teller, not so much😂😂😂

Makes no sense. And colonization is a hot topic in light of the horrific atrocities happening in Israel since WWII.

Is The American Diabetes Society a tax deductible organization?

He's not an endocrinologist, and it shows. Diabetes is a complex, multifactorial health condition. There is no one-size-fits-all solution including just, "eating fewer carbs", without getting into their quality, and what they are eaten with. If "eating fewer carbs", was a diabetes care revelation, my endocrinologist would have brought it up during the first visit. I know, I know, "the conventional medical community doesn't want you to know!", and, my favorite Berry one, "The ADA doesn't officially endorse my favorite diet: they must be incompetent!"

If your endo didn’t educate you about carbs then he’s part of the problem .

The more simple process for those who don’t want to make it complex and actually want to reverse their type 2, the insulin resistance that caused it, and the resulting inflammation that leads to all chronic disease IS eat fewer carbs less often. Eat fewer than 20 total grams of carbs and add in fasting, both daily eating windows and extended fasting, and even people who have had type 2 for years can often reverse it in weeks or months. If you want to make it more complicated or complex, then go ahead. It doesn’t have to be.
