David Dikeman - 'How I Manage My Type 1 Diabetes' 

I`m currently battling with one certified nutritionist that we don`t need lots of carb. He keeps throwing mantras about bad health effects and low energy if one will consume less that 100 grams per day, he recommends at least 200 !

@@masterofreality926 He's certified by the Ancel Keys cartel. I only take dietary advice from low carb health professionals.

@@masterofreality926 Get this misinformed person OUT of your life! He can't help it that he was TRAINED incorrectly and is obviously opposed to the TRUTH! I have a niece who majored in Dietetics and she has the very same attitude(bad training via the EVIL "food pyramid!") Big Pharma wants EVERYONE to be on insulin and other expensive meds!

@@henrytang2203 Exactly!

Wow. how long did it take for u to REVERSE neuropathy?

Thanks for sharing your anecdotal experience

Karuna, go learn English before being sarcastic to attack someone sharing his valuable experience. There's no such thing as "anecdotal experience." Science is clearly not for you.

As stated above "He is currently working with Dr. Bernstein as an intern and will be pursuing a career in the field of medicine".

I'm in college now. Meals amount to an omelet for breakfast and for lunch/dinner a protein food and a veg. My mom mails me some low carb treats which are fine.

Eat the cheese, the topping and leave the pizza base.

"Why the cheese off the pizza ?" Because the bread part is mostly carbs.

Meals...Im not too picky....steak and salad...lettuce wrap cheesburgers....seafood and veg. All of that is fine. Please share the video with your doctor....the match of Regular to low carb foods is a total game changer...the glycemic action of low carb meals and the intermediate action of Regular is a game changer.

​@daviddikeman7423 Can you mimic it with a long extended bolus of low amount of novolog?

you need to get the bernstein book. You should also watch dr bernstein youtube channel.

Low carb is not a cure for diabetes. If you are a person with type 1 diabetes, you always have to be on your toes and check blood sugars (very) regularly. On Bernstein's very low carb diet, you will typically be using much milder and much less insulin. Therefore any lows or any blood sugars approaching lows will be easily treated with a few grams of glucose. In contrast, if you are eating a high carb diet and have ten or even twenty units of rapid acting insulin onboard, you have the potential for very severe hypoglycemia. Avoiding severe hypoglycemia is a main reason for eating low carb and is a huge quality of life improvement. But I still have to take glucose with me and monitor very careful - that's just the nature of the condition.

I've seen a few articles blaming vaccines (not the current covid ones), which are of course not vaccines at all.

You can fix it by eating ripe fruits and herbs, check Dr. Robert Morse’s channel.

@@BocusVeLucy yeah fruits feel better but some people aren't ready to go that hard. Fruits 💝

Not so You save money actually. Less carbs means less meds needed and fewer groceries that aren't protein and you tend to get your money's worth with protein. Multiple servings, multiple meals, ground beef can be seared and made into tacos one night and Chili another. Multiple meals, one ingredient. Unlike Carby single serve meals. Sure, it may cost more up front but it stretches farther and this saves you money ultimately. Second There's plenty of work arounds. Taking your own food to social gatherings, throwing away the bun and just eating the burger, etc etc etc There's a never ending list of ways to get around the inconveniences, if you really want to and that's where the hang-up is with most people. They just want to be normal, but being "normal" is a decision and decisions come with outcomes- Rewards or consequences. The decision isn't hard at all. Investigate and test it. Give it a fair and honest trial and keep a watch on glucose. Then, you ask yourself Which system provided me with better glucose results? Did it benefit me meds and price wise? Is this what I want? And you move on from there. Don't be persuaded by adult over thinking. Simplify it Test it Evaluate it Make your decision and move. I think you'll be surprised but it's your decision, not mine. Not your doctor's. Not your nutritionists. This decision is fully yours to make up or down.

@@mdrobnson3912 such a great answer ! 👍

I am very hard of hearing and struggle to hear everything. You can turn on auto-cue on RU-vid. The translations are crazy sometimes, but it is better than nothing.

Higher fat, moderate protein, low carb is cheaper than high protein. The choice about lifestyle is a no brainer. You want to end up on dialysis or having amputations, then eat whatever you want for your "lifestyle".
