Don't listen to this and think maybe one can drink.Alcohol stops liver from properly functioning ,not only stopping glucose.Remember your body needs to be producing energy when working out ,running etc.
@@Wats3d what do you mean?alcohol does not create energy.Go check what happens to your brain when you drink,all that you experience is illusion that happens in your brain
This video is way too short for such complicated metabolic processes and to get a benefit from it. One example here: Someone could understand, that drinking regularly alcohol is a good thing to keep the glucose level in the blood low. First is that alcohol is killing the liver and makes it fat, second is, that if your glucose is low by the alcohol, you will get cravings for sweet stuff and eat. My experiance: If you are absolutely not hungry and you drink 1/2 liter of beer, after a short time you have appetite like a hungry tiger and go for the fridge ....
@@sircharles7323never mind about the spelling yr content was very clear. It is ludicrous to believe that alcohol drinking is a positive thing. It is actually madness
i would also like to add that if you think drinking alcohol at any level is 'good" for you, then your parents failed you. its very much poison that your liver has to detoxify from your blood. alcohol is literally never "good for you" the question is merely how much did you consume, and how bad was that for you.
@@conmann89 Yes, that is true. Problem is also, that alcohol is often a social habit. So if you don´t drink, you are excluded. But I don´t care anymore.
@@wearethetwoforever Sorry, did you hear all the program? Fatty liver is easily obtained by children from sugar, soft-drinks and cookies. But I do see your point.
This is great. I listened carefully and what I heard was… drink shit-tons of alcoholic beverages, eat loads of Italian food, don’t run or anything like that. I can’t wait until the next episode on drugs, cigarettes, and sex!!
Alcohol causes fatty liver and that worsens insulin resistance and the sugar not released by the liver during alcohol consumption stays in the liver, and makes diabetes worse in the long run.
No one should take advice from her or this video, it's ridiculousness. I've nearly died twice, from the affects of alcohol in conjunction with my insulin resistance. It might lower glucose short term (which is dangerous if you taken a calculated dose of insulin). But the liver damage caused long term will only cause more health complications.
This is about the fifth video I’ve watched from this woman, and as a scientist, I am appalled by her ignorance and simultaneous audacity to believe she knows enough about what she’s talking about to instruct others. The truly tragic part is the vast majority of people will think she’s a genius because she presents herself as knowledgeable, and they are that scientifically clueless. Sad times.
It's a short to lead you on her longer video tho . Not gonna watch it so I'm not saying she's right or wrong. It's just a bait for the longer video. Chill people, or watch the video.
If you drink, it might seem that your glucose is improving BUT the liver will be storing more and more fat which is something you need to get rid of not add to.
No carbs and no alcohol for me for years, I don’t see the need for them. I am too old to eat carbs that need fat or protein to flavor them. I go straight to the source and cut out the middleman 😅
There is no easier explanation. Metabolism is logic but at the same time you habe to know the basics to unverstandn the logic. If you lack of the basic inderstandig, everything will be complicated
Because you've been lied to. Spikes are normal. What's not normal is your body being unable to clear glucose out of the blood. What causes insulin resistance? A diet high in fat, namely saturated fat. It's better to stick to whole food carbs, but make no mistake, the worst part of a donut is the fat in the dough and the grease it was fried in.
Under no circumstances should you "encourage" the consumption of alcohol, regardless of the reason, because that's what some people understand from your message‼️
Yep. The Norwegian Directorate of Health two years ago flat out said that no amount of alcohol is good for you. Based on recent studies regarding nutrients (because alcohol is a nutrient that has calories and gives the body energy), they came to the conclusion that alcohol has no known health benefits, and it's poisonous to every organ of the body.
So there are three things 1. Alcohol balanced glucose level 2. Adding fat to your meal like Cheese burst that will avoid spike in your blood stream. 3. Doing a High Intensity workout may spike your glucose level but that's a good one viz not harmful at all
@LaceyLane17 hard alcohol lower blood glucose. If I have a glass of red wine, my blood sugar dives low, not stays flat. It's actually a dangerous thing for diabetics to do.
this is misleading and even though alcohol keeps glucose levels steady it is not a licence to go an d binge on alcohol. Alcohol does damage. This short vid does not do justice to all the other advice you've been giving
Type 1 diabetic here. Alcohol causes my blood glucose to drop, not initially, usually a few hours later. This has become especially dramatic recently, to the point where I fell below 50 bgl, and needed medical help.
Be incredibly careful. Alcoholic ketoacidosis is very dangerous and very real. Read the paper on it. It’s usually the first one that pops up. It explains the mechanism behind it. Take heed 🫶🏻
I am not diabetic, and my normal blood glucose is 90mg/dl. I drink alcohol once in ten days or month always on empty stomach, and after experimenting with glucose monitor, saw that four bears made my blood glucose go down to 20mg/dl. What's weird is that I didn't even feel sick, just extremely slowed
@@ritapearl-im3wvah yes I trust the random RU-vid commentor with a superior BS tone more than someone who's.... Studied the subject and has facts and figures. How's QAnon going too 😮😅😂
@@6991enoemos If fat was the issue then evolution would have killed us off when we were hunter gatherers. Use your brain and stop following these people they are bad for your health.
Wow, alcohol keeps glucose levels balanced? Are they balanced at a high level or at a lower blood sugar level? I thought alcohol would cause massive glucose spikes! 😱
It hinders your liver temporarily from releasing sugar. The liver for a while needs to prioritize the processing of the alcohol(breaking it down). Temporary, actually.
The liver being occupied by processing the alcohol, so the brain and organs don't get (that) affected by it, then he cannot process the fats/sugars and stuff for a while, and therefore, that "fat" is stored on the belly area, or worse, on the organs..
In reality, exercise will decrease blood glucose, for it is the main fuel of the body to keep the body going during physical effort. It might present some glucose/insulin variations according to the body needs during exercise… but I don’t really see from a physiological standpoint how glucose would increase significantly (aside from very discrete blood changes as a result of exercising). Not even glucose reserves (from the liver) have the power to induce «a glucose spike» The sugar goddess sees glucose spikes where they just aren’t any. Sure, an exercising individual might get some sugar released into the blood stream as a consequence of “gluconeogenesis”, but a spike, Lord all mighty, that’s unbelievable!
Forget this way to short video, where she is not explaining this very complex topics. So you better forget everything or you will have to make your own research, which will take a few hours or even many days at least. Or you just use your common sense and quit alcohol and make some sports, that you are enjoying.
To all future guys wanting to correct me: Of course I know that drinking alcohol and eating fat can't be the way to be healthy. I'm ironically pointing out that her video looks like she is recommending that.
@@MichaelaRtheGerman Yes, this is obviously a misinformation. She should delete this video, there are some out there, who will think know alcohol is good. Fats, if done properly, are not unhealthy, as you need fatty acids essentially for your body. Carbohydrates by the way are not essentially for your body, as he can produce glucose out of fat and protein. So you won´t die if you don´t eat any carbohydrates, else if you don´t eat any proteins or fat, you will die after your body is running out of them.
Butter is good for you. Pasta is not. Especially as a diabetic. Not all fatty acids are good for you. But carbohydrates is what you should cut out. Pretty much the opposite of what we used to learn. Alcohol is not god for your blood sugar, the same trigger as carbs or dehydration. LCHF works, no matter what people think. There are also better alternatives to insulin on prescription today, helping a dysfunctional metabolic system. Then a healthy lifestyle of course. If your BMI is to high, it has to come down, what I said above will help you.
I have been experiencing this spike after exercise . You are the first person I ever heard, Discuss this. You should do a video on the spike after exercise .
Wow she has such an awesome way of explaining things. I love it when people can explain things and they resonate so well so we can all learn and dare I say it she is also super pretty as well 😊
If I listen to all these professionals I would crawl in a corner and never come out . Can't eat butter , can't eat meat , eat more veggies ( which are sprayed with chemicals and GMO . No thanks
Professionals must carry out their work and provide their findings. It's akin to assuming we understand the intricacies of our body's biology and disregarding the expertise of doctors, biologists, and related fields, which is comparable to expecting a carpenter to wire your entire house or hiring an electrician to handle your plumbing.
How about you try to reach for certified organic farms for your veggies (or make your own). Also meat isn't the problem is animal fat. If you eat a chicken breast that is honestly totally fat free you'll be fine. Butter is pure fat so it's garbage. Also exercise and sleep well.
As a diabetic, if I drink spirit alcohols gin, vodka, tequila my blood sugars stay low n cruise so that I can actually enjoy Christmas or a special occasion without loading up on insulin. I still eat fat & protein with the carbs to avoid spikes. Merry Christmas all day long with 7.0 mmol max. The rest of the year I don't drink alcohol. But, damned if I am going to miss out on Christmas pudding...my fav! 😋 However , sugary alcoholic beverages would blow my blood glucose readings SKY HIGH , so I can't drink those at all. ☹️
I've read somewhere that whole grain pasta actually, is no better than ordinary one and that both kinds benefit from staying in the fridge before consumption.
@@campersruincod6134 I have a glucose meter and alcohol at home. And yes, I did it several times. Bloodsugar still goes up, but not even close of what it would go up without alcohol. That beeing said, I dont recommend it on a regulary basis.
And that confirms why the French are in average healthy: some wine, good cheese/ butter/ oil with carbs, meat & good dose of veggies. Plus they actually walk/ bike. As non French, I admire how they eat their salad/ fresh veg (including the very young ones). They rarely snack in between meals....
I've spent the last few days in France, and I was shocked how obese and unhealthy they are. Croissants with nutella or jam with orange juice for breakfast, minimal vegetable intake and lots of "fruit" juice. I live for 5 years i Germany, and they do eat veggies and do the exercise. And guess what, they are slim and really rare obesity here.
I'm not sure I understand how drinking alcohol keeps our glucose levels stable? Alcohol is made when yeast ferments the sugars in grains, fruits and vegetables, right?
Especially with high intensity weights, I always see a spike. Low intensity elliptical for 25-40 minutes drives my sugar down significantly on my CGM. It typically rises after post meal exercise about 20 minutes later.
I only started drinking in my early 30s and it’s probably around 10 nights a year, being events, party, celebrations. I get shitfaced but never experienced a hangover, surprisingly I wake up extremely refreshed the day after
I just want to say thank you very much for explaining nutrition on the level that can be understood. I have been an insulin diabetic for 30 years and I’ve been working my tail off to lose weight. I’ve come down from a maximum of 330 pounds I’m down to 230 right now but I’ve been wondering why my glucose spikes in the morning because I’m fasting and then working out so I don’t eat after like 8 o’clock at night And then I get up like around six and go to the gym around seven fasting but when I get home, I check my glucose levels and they’re usually elevated. It’s frustrating because I didn’t understand. But thank you for clearing that up because I would beat myself up, wondering what I did wrong to make my blood sugar go up, thank you again
Thank God, I am a Muslim and never have to bother with such issues relating to alcoholic drinks.. Consume vinegar, lemon juice, olives and honey instead..eat once in a day.
LMAO. Jesus turned water into wine and even served wine to his disciples. Being "allowed" to drink is no excuse to get drunk. There's something called self-control and temperance. A healthy, guided grown adult doesn't need a hard rule for everything... 🙂 Also, sorry but I know many Muslims who do smoke and drink alcohol 😟. But I agree, that drinking alcohol can put a strain on our health. Thank God I grew up with wise Christian parents who don't drink alcohol 😂
In my experience we used to have a NIDDM client on regular plus rapid Insulin, but it was still badly controlled due to other med conditions. When her BSL rose up she took a small(!)dose of straight vodka and actually glucose level always dropped down
To make something very unhealthy (pasta) a little bit better with some good butter (which is very healthy, if you look for organic butter, from grass fed cows, if you want the best of the best).
@@johncronin5311 Yes. pasta is really a big deal on glucose intake. Very sad, as pasta is one of these foods, that taste like heaven and especially with butter and parmesan and tomato and garlic and ..... I have quit pasta and all other processed starches long time ago. As long as you don´t touch it, no problem. What always bothered me about pasta is, that it made me very tired after eating it and this is no miracle. And: It is hard to eat just a very small portion, so for me it is better to leave it at all.
Spot on Doc! A great wine commercial haha. Actually I'm finding only a small amount of alcohol is a good regulator for me, into the next day. I abstained when I was diagnosed with type 2 and my levels were all over the place for some time. Now I have a daily medium wine,, I feel great, I've lost weight and A1C is at pre diabetes levels again. Other factors too I know, but I'm a happier diabetic :-)

I don't think high intensity exercise is that great, to be honest. It raises cortisol, so for those that are struggling with chronic exposure to cortisol, I think light exercise is better, like a nice walk in nature.
Just going for a walk although beneficial isn't enough for many people for sat things like metabolic diseases . High intensity workouts are good for everyone it just needs personalising. You need to get to know your body , be aware of your limits and knowing when you're pushing too far. Focus on breathing deeply, properly through your diaphragm, don't do any jumping or push yourself further than you should. Keep HIIT to a short interval such as 10-16 minutes
@@Carrie-sgda Thanks for the reply, but I personally do not think that high intensity workouts are good for anyone. It is basically over exertion for no reason at all. This is my opinion though and I would say that if someone enjoys high intensity workouts, then carry on. I doubt many people actually do though.
@@jenny395791 I have high cortisol and yes I love HIIT workouts. Studies show they are very beneficial and I feel the benefits when I do them. You don't like them or ever want to do them that's fine but studies show they are great exercises and can be personalised to suit individuals
Completely 100% wrong here, it raises cortisol ACUTELY not chronically and cortisol level during exersice is directly connected to muscle growth. Don't confuse mechanisms and outcomes. I swear bro just leave it to the professionals, don't listen to these people. Believe it or not doctors actually want you to get better
Smirnoff Sells a Sugar free edelflower and lemon infused vodka. Mixed with club soda with a lemon wedge in it tastes way better than a regular vodka & soda. Works good with tonic too.
Very true. Except overdue anything is bad, even the most healthy food you consume. During covid pandemic I took a shot of whiskey or Brandy or red wine to treat my ailments or anytime I don't feel well. My BP is perfect in the morning after the drink the night before. It said use foods as medicine, no different with alcohol. Use it in a proper way bring a lot benefits.
It's funny to hear that because I did the 10 day Dexcom continuous blood sugar testing... mine dropped in the low 60s every time I drank alcohol, but my husband's would only change with eating. Now I know why I crave carbs every time I drink
"In general, the less alcohol consumed, the better and the recommended amount for health reasons is zero," points out as a general recommendation the specialist Miguel Marcos Martín, internist and coordinator of the Alcohol and Alcoholism Group of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SEMI in Spanish).
Okay. Please explain the butter-pasta thing. Why is that bad? Can oil replace butter? I also saw something about something (fat? Carbs? I don't remember what it was) will reduce when coconut oil is cooked with them. Could you explain why this is so? Please and thanks.
I’ve heard too many stories of type 1 diabetics having an alcoholic drink, getting drunk, passing out, blood sugar goes low, and never waking up again. So no thanks, I think I’ll stick with my peanut butter crackers to keep me going.
That is a true statement. I’ve seen many alcoholics in liver failure, they have low glucose levels because their liver doesn’t work. So I guess you can drink to excess and damage your liver, you will never get diabetes. Notice the fat with glucose thing is bad but not the alcohol.
I spend a lot of time in Thailand and was getting the shakes every day especially after eating abundance ripe carved fruits on platters..all was scary until i started adding a couple of glasses of red wine a day❤
