I'm just starting on this journey of lowering my blood sugar and am very confused about what to eat and what not to eat. I am a vegetarian and there aren't that many things that in the way of protein that a diabetic vegetarian can eat. I don't like eating eggs that often because I was always taught that eggs were bad. the bean family is a little too much to be eating all the time for me. my daughter does my cooking, she works full-time , I need to get my hemoglobin A1c down more it was 15 now it's eight point something. I've got a big back surgery coming that I need to get ready for and now I've got problems with my hip and my knee. life is terrible right now! there's so much pain I can hardly think. my doctor wants my hemoglobin A1c down below seven before I have surgery. can anybody give me ideas, recommendations, ? all I drink is water, and on occasion a glass of . milk. also have kidney failure stage 3 up and down around 30. I've heard keto and high-fat are the best to eat, but I need help with WHAT to eat.
@@wandafreitas6009 I would suggest you try cutting carbs as low as possible. In addition to Sugar, This includes ALL Wheat and Corn type flours , White Potatoes, Rice, Pasta and obviously Cakes and Cookies. And anything made with the above. Sweet Potatoes and Parsnips are not so high in carbs, you could have them occasionally. Otherwise make your meals from vegetables and low sugar berries. Other fruits and banana are high sugar. There are some meat alternatives available for vegetarians. I would suggest you make a shopping list and stick to that to begin with, and you will learn about more options as you go. Good Luck
For last six months I am not using white flour White rice white pasta and white Sugar I got best results I control my diabetic and reduce me weight and also control frequently urination 😊
awesome but I"m not a coffee drinker hot chocolate and green tea are the only hot stuff I like, the rest have to be ice cold drinks . kombucha I don't know but definelty not apple cider. can't drink that if it was the last dirnk on earth. I rather just swallow the capsule with water. I did a water fast and lost another two pounds. these days I'm eating very little once a day and I eat garlic with water every night with half a cup of fage Greek yogurt. :D. BTW. Fage in Greek. pronounced. FAh YEH IS THE SAME THING AS ITALIAN WORD MANGA. EAT !!!!!
First time I tasted Kombucha tea I didn't know if I would try it again. It's sort of an acquired taste. I quickly acquired the taste of Kombucha. Now every time I go to the grocery store a bottle of Kombucha leaves the store with me. I learned of the beneficial microbes, but, the capacity to reduce blood sugar and the A1-C test makes it even better.
That's great to hear that you enjoy peppermint tea! Peppermint tea can be a refreshing and healthy beverage choice. Peppermint is a natural herb that has been found to have some health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and improving mental focus. It is also caffeine-free, which makes it a good option for those who are sensitive to caffeine or who want to avoid it. Your method of making peppermint tea sounds like a good way to keep it handy and available throughout the day. Just be sure to keep the tea refrigerated to prevent bacteria growth. It's also important to note that while peppermint tea is generally considered safe, it may interact with certain medications, so it's always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before adding it to your diet.

I love Kombucha and all of these choices I have them and found what you said they do in conjunction with the foods I choose to eat really works and I’ve added Intermittent Fasting to my regim😂en and and has lost 121lbs as a result of doing that down to 204lbs as of Thursday December st1 22 my A1c was 5.9 last checked as of October 15 2022 it’s been a long hard fight but I’m not giving up I’ve come to far at my heaviest I weighed 355lbs and I knew then something MUST CHANGE I HAD TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
@@tammyvaughn4332 thanks 🙏🏽 it’s been a challenge and not without stumbling but I knew I had to stay focused and I didn’t believe I could do it with my poor eating habits, my overeating, and drinking I’ve cut them out it’s been 27yrs of deliverance from drinking and smoking and now I’m thankfully passed that
PTL! What an amazing awesome encouraging journey. Thank you for sharing your story. To God the Father of Abraham Isaac Jacob Jesus Yeshua Messiah the Christ and the Universe for sure; Be the Glory! We overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony! Woo-hoo hallelujah! Proud of you 👏🏿 🙃😎💯
That's awesome! I am in such a struggle with this, especially the weight loss/diet change. I too am almost at my heaviest and looking for ways to improve. As a Principal I also find it difficult for workout time... Any suggestions or motivations?
What would be most helpful for this and other similar videos is to include carbohydrate information in grams per volume. That's how many of us diabetics decide what to eat and drink. I know those higher carb foods are going to push my blood sugar higher, often too high, and I like to control blood sugar with diet instead of chemicals and medicines.
David: Well, then surely you read the food labels and can do basic math to calculate carbs. Total carbs per serving are listed on food labels. Online information searchers are 4th grade skills. You can online search 'how many carbs in a medium sized pomegranate,' for example. Surely, you have already been given the list if bad vegetables to avoid: rice, wheat flour products, corn, and peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes.
@@BoatsArtsPolitics Wow. How amazingly rude, God love you. And from someone who flaunts their academic title. So condescending and superior. You think no one who knows how to watch a YT video doesn't know how to do that? The best YT videos are a complete package. This one was not, and I suggested how it might be better and more complete. Rather than accepting a suggestion intended to be helpful, you scold. Such a shame, bless your heart.
@@daviddavid9837 Seems kind of arrogant David, you ask for someone to do something you could easily do yourself, and even more arrogant to call some one rude, when you get called on it. It's like when some one does you a favor and sweeps your floor, it's like instead of saying thank-you, your suggestion is like saying, "could you wash the walls to".
@@ppumpkin3282 No. It's not like that at all. Only inside your kind of arrogant head. I think the video would be better with carbohydrate information included, and I made the suggestion. Other viewers agreed. And now that I'm told how easy and effortless it is to find, it makes me think how easy and effortless it would be to add to the video. Now, go try to bully someone else. It's like you have nothing better to do than patrol YT and look to bully and create arguments.
Thanks very much for the edification! It’s very informative and I am more comfortable with your input of how to use the very essential drinks to control diabetes.
Kombucha, I've never heard of. Being a newly diagnosed Diabetes patient, I have much to learn. Need all the help and your page covers a lot that I need. Thank you..have Subscribed
I am a 3rd generation type 2 diabetic. Am 85, never been hospitalized, have had the benefits of a great diabetes education program…and a dad who was meticulously careful in healthy habits. If your clinic offers classes, by all means ATTEND, and take notes. It is not rocket science and yes, you can eat well. Visit a good library and a good bookstore and get an up to date, enjoyable book on how to eat. Above all, do not get into bad MENTAL habits. If your eating partner is not cooperative, make it clear that you are going to develop fun, tasty, SAFE habits. Good luck. You will need a few months to work this out…but if you are at all adventurous in the kitchen..,it will be fun. And READ labels. The food processing industry is not your friend.
You're welcome! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the drinks and finding them helpful in managing your blood sugar levels. It's wonderful to incorporate natural and healthy options into your routine. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional regarding your specific health needs and any potential interactions with existing medications. Keep enjoying those drinks and take care of your health!
Thank you for the video. I have heard many similar videos "read" by computer. I appreciate your expressive narrator. The intonation really helps understandability. Also, the review at the end is a great idea.
VERY helpful video's, thank you!!! Please, HOW can I get each of these books you have shown, I searched but I was not able to find the link mentioned... again, thank you!!! ❤
Lots of good ideas. It’s incredibly important to make sure the apple cider vinegar has the “mother” in it. If the ACV is transparent, it’s not the right one. It should look cloudy, with particles floating in it, or settled on the bottom. The mother contains all the essential minerals and nutrients. Also PLEASE read the ingredients on the almond milk, I’m very curious why she would recommend almond milk over whole cows milk, almond milk usually contains questionable ingredients too. But not all, just read the carton. And if you’re like me and cannot stand the taste of Stevia, try Monk Fruit, it’s sold with other sugar substitutes like Splenda (which spiked blood sugar) Monk fruit tastes sweet without a bitter after taste.
@@christineewing3492 I would like to know the same for pure Monkfruit! There is a Dr Berg who said to use Xytoil which is made from sugar alcohol and taste like sugar without the bitter and cold aftertaste and does not raise your BS.
I'd like to know as well. I drink unsweetened tea all the time. Both cold n hot. To me it just like drinking plain water just with cor to it. N also drink decaffeinated accept if out in a restaurant. Also l'd like to know if shelter water is okay to. Drink that as well.
As far as I know, honey is the same like sugar equaly for the amount of refind sugar in same amount (for example 1 tea spoon each), for every one not only for diabetec
Hi! I Just Wanted To Say Thank You For Your Information & I Will Try Some Of Theses Teas!! And Even Better To Know That Organic Is Best!! Thanks! Marcia Dove
Cinnamon is not for everyone.. I spoke to someone about Aryveda medicine and she said cinnamon is not something i should be taking, that tamarind is better for me instead...
They suggest drinking cider vinegar through a bamboo straw. Does bamboo deliver a medically superior result to a plastic straw, or just a more virtuous one?

As for using dates as a sugar substitute, it's important to note that dates are high in natural sugars and can raise blood sugar levels. While dates offer some nutritional benefits compared to refined sugars, they should still be consumed in moderation by individuals with diabetes. It's always best to work with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice on sugar substitutes and help you develop a balanced meal plan that meets your specific needs. Remember, individual responses to supplements and dietary changes can vary, so it's important to monitor your blood sugar levels, consult with healthcare professionals, and make informed decisions based on your unique circumstances.

Hello! If you have renal failure, it's important to be mindful of what you eat and drink, as your kidneys may not be able to filter waste and fluids from your blood as effectively as they should. Beetroot is generally considered a healthy vegetable, as it is high in nutrients and antioxidants. However, it is also high in potassium, which can be a concern for individuals with renal failure. If you have renal failure, it's important to work with a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian, to develop a meal plan that is appropriate for your condition. They can help you determine whether beetroot is a safe and appropriate choice for you, and in what quantities.
Hi! Adding sugar to drinks can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. For diabetics, it is recommended to use artificial sweeteners such as stevia, aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose as they do not raise blood sugar levels. However, it is always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to discuss any potential side effects or interactions with any medications you may be taking.
There is some evidence to suggest that drinking beetroot juice may have benefits for thyroid health. However, there is also some conflicting information regarding the effects of beetroot juice on thyroid function. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any concerns about a specific health condition. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your unique needs and medical history. Thanks for your question and I hope this helps!
While there have been some studies investigating the potential benefits of beetroot juice for thyroid health, the findings are not yet conclusive. Some studies have suggested that beetroot juice may have a positive impact on thyroid function, while others have not found any significant effects. Here are a few examples of studies that have looked at the relationship between beetroot juice and thyroid health: In a 2015 study published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, researchers found that consuming beetroot juice improved thyroid function in rats with hypothyroidism. However, more research is needed to determine if these findings apply to humans as well. Another study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2011 investigated the effects of beetroot juice on thyroid function in healthy volunteers. The researchers found that consuming beetroot juice for 7 days did not have any significant impact on thyroid hormone levels or thyroid function. Overall, while there is some evidence to suggest that beetroot juice may have benefits for thyroid health, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between the two. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making any significant changes to your diet, especially if you have any concerns about a specific health condition.

Pomegranate juice you can get in pure pure syrup I have pure pomegranate syrup which I don't always use but it's extremely wonderful when you put it on certain foods... But be aware like most things on the list that's mentioned in this little video it is very astringent and somewhat sour will not have any sugar in it since it won't have any sugar in it... Sorry if there's any repeats I am using voice to text and I can't right now fix anything so I hope it all makes.
Thank you for sharing your experience with pomegranate syrup. Pomegranate juice and syrup can indeed be a flavorful and tangy addition to various dishes and drinks. Pomegranates are known for their rich antioxidant content, which can have potential health benefits. It's important to note that when using pomegranate syrup, especially the pure, unsweetened variety, it can be quite tart and astringent, as you mentioned. This tartness can add a unique and refreshing flavor to your culinary creations, but it's also a good idea to use it in moderation, as it may be too intense for some tastes. Pomegranate syrup or juice, without added sugars, can be a healthier alternative to sugary syrups or sweeteners when you want to add a burst of flavor to your dishes or beverages. It can be used in salad dressings, marinades, cocktails, or drizzled over desserts for a tangy twist. As with any dietary component, it's important to consider your overall dietary plan and any specific dietary restrictions or health conditions you may have. Consulting with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider can help you make informed decisions about incorporating pomegranate syrup or other ingredients into your diet.
Commercially available sugar-free lemonade may or may not be a healthy option. While it is sugar-free, it might contain artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes to provide sweetness without the added calories. Some people use these types of lemonade as an alternative to regular sugary drinks to help manage their blood sugar levels or reduce calorie intake. If you prefer lemonade, especially the sugar-free variety, be sure to read the label and check for any artificial sweeteners or other additives that might not be suitable for your individual health needs or preferences. Moderation is also key; while it may be sugar-free, consuming large amounts of any artificially sweetened drink may have other health implications, and it's always best to drink water as your primary source of hydration. If you enjoy lemonade, consider making your own by squeezing fresh lemons into water and sweetening it with natural sweeteners like stevia or a small amount of honey, if needed. This way, you can control the ingredients and ensure a healthier option for yourself. As always, it's essential to make dietary choices that align with your health goals and individual needs. If you have any specific health conditions or concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
You're right that while red wine contains polyphenols that may have potential health benefits, it's also important to be mindful of the potential negative effects of consuming alcohol. If you choose to consume red wine, it's recommended to do so in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. Alternatively, consuming whole grapes or other fruits that contain similar polyphenols may be a healthier option for some individuals. As always, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine a personalized dietary plan that works best for you.
Sad part is I cannot stand any of the 11 choices on this list (though thanks for taking the time to explain all about these!). I will stick to plain old cold water, I guess. hehe I love it anyway.
Thanks for watching the video and for your comment! Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to beverages, and it's perfectly fine to stick with what you enjoy. Cold water is always a refreshing and healthy choice, so drink up!
@@DiabeticsTalk Thank you for the video! I meant to say that in my last comment. I really appreciate it. I just wish I could handle drinking any of these. I just am such a picky eater and drinker. hehe I am happy with water (I do have some zero sugar or sparkling water type things once in a blue moon for some taste, but I restrain because I don't like to have things with a lot of additives or replacements). I got used to just drinking water mainly a few years back and I have always had a lot of it. Trying my best to maintain the healthy foods as well. The less processed, the less carbs, the lower the sodium the better for the kidneys, liver, and ticker.
