Ep:27 Understanding Diabetes: Type 2 into Remission 

This is the best Diabetes Remission video on the internet.

My blood glucose test at a fasted state was 112. This is after being carnivore for over a year. I also take Metoprolol Losartan and Amlodipine for HBP, which I started a little over 3 years ago taking. I recently stopped the Metoprolol and Amlodipine because I read it can affect blood glucose. Within a few days my fasted state has been as low as 87. Not that I recommend this but definitely need to checkout how medications influence it as well.

*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪

Blood 🩸 back to normal because of you thanks Doc!

Excellent!!! This is what we needed someone who is not afraid to tell this precious information to all of the diabetics out there suffering from the horrendous treatment most of them are currently on. 🙌

We are in total agreement with the exception of the metformin recommendation. After having taken this drug for more than thirty years, the end result was extensive neuropathy in my feet which was exasperated by my liver not being able to process vitamin B-12. Stopped the metformin and ALL other drugs three years ago, neuropathy was totally gone within six months! Love your videos.

I have that same cup. Go Blue!

Great great great information and motivation

Great video Dr Cywes! Looking forward to our interview tomorrow.

Thanks Dr. Cywes, I'll follow your diabetes remission for 90 days, hopeful t get rid of diabetes. Warmest regards Saleem Raza Pakistan

This was very clear. Thank you for sharing number goals. I am on Metformin ER 500mg twice a day. HB A1c is 5.7% , morning blood sugar have been ranged g 112- 145 mg/md. Will work to eat last carbs, largely now from green yogurt and cow milk.

I am so happy to find your channel Dr! Thank you very much!

Extremely helpful... Thank you!

Fabulous concise information. Thank you!

I am viewing Jersey Channel Islands UK.

Another good clear episode thank you. Off my Statins now

Great video. I m diabetes type 2 and on keto from last 4 months. But not getting fat adapted.

So happy to talk to you in Omaha and thank you for the phone number. Hoping my mom will call to talk to you!!

Glad I found you doc!

Interesting. I am 5.6%, so contemplating options.

Do leafy greens count as carbs? I think you, Dr. Cywes, said once that we can eat all the leafy greens we want.

Thanks so much!

I want a CGM but I am prediabetic so it is not covered. Also went off 20 mgs of stations and my numbers skyrocketed so I was afraid not to be on it... at least until a1c was normal and weight was healthy not overweight.

my blood work is great minus high blood sugar just messaged doctor as to why I am on all these meds especially statins as my cholestorol is lower then a person not on statins like its uber low kinda scary. never have high blood pressure either but on a pill cause of diabetes I guess. I am going keto and hopefully see if the doctor is on board if not I guess I have to find someone else.

I been moving off carbs last year! This year for my carbs under 15g per day with no sugar no carbs. I did have whipping cream in coffee and broccoli or cauliflower sometimes. I’m down to 8.2 just had labs done. Struggling to find a diabetic doctor. In past 2-3 years both Dr left and now I have NP. How to find a physician who will help me get into remission and follow you plan??

If I am on statins for hypercholesterolemia, is it safe to come off them to help increase my insulin sensitivity? I live and work in Beijing, but I do see a cardiologist once each year when I visit America. I have already been working with intermittent fasting, and gradually "keto-cizing" my diet (my morning sugar has been solidly at 116 for the past week). But I won't be able to see my regular cardiologist for another six or seven months. I do have access to hospital services in Beijing, including obtaining my medicines, but I don't have a GP of my own.

My last A1C was 5:7 but each morning my blood sugar is around 130!

Here we go. July 22 2024.

Take 1000 mg 2 x of Metformin even if becoming carnivore after 2 years strict keto if A1C 5.9.

Dr. Cywes what about Trulicity? Should I stop taking this and just stick with the Metformin?

Does valsartan/amlodipine affect muscle building healing?

Hi doc, Is the so called bullet proof coffee, coffee with cream and/or butter ok?

I've been on high fat diet moderate Protein and very low carb 20 net carbs for10 months. My blood sugar hasn't improved. My latest A1C was 7.3 and my Total cholesterol was 310. Any ideas why my blood sugar levels are not improving? Also haven't lost weight

18/6 okay for pregnant moms? I'm doing all the things on your list, except this.

I can't afford a cgm😪

Please help! I haven’t had any sugar and near zero carbs for 23 days now, fasting 16-20 hours, one meal a day. My bs is still 170-200; even a few hours after meal. Is it going to come down on its own? In more time? Would metformin help get it going? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

How can I get a CGM? I am very poor & my doctor would not o.k. it since I am only insulin-resistant?? If U drink decaf coffee with almond milk or coconut creamer ruin a fast??

I wonder what's the significance of the letter M on that beat up water jug?

Does anyone know if he talks about GTT (Glucose tolerance test) in any of his videos? I am wondering if those who are able to “reverse” diabetes would be able to pass a GTT or just not be considered diabetic because of a low A1C.

Should I give up all fruit??? I am not big on eating dead critters, but since the CV-19 I am getting food delivered to me & most of it is a high protein meal. Fish, chicken pork, beef, eggs turkey. Yes, they include some veggies & potatoes. I dump the potatoes, the pancakes but I do still eat the rice. Have you heard of Dr. John McDougall, who speaks of how great a starch diet is for people? Goes back into history about eating corn etc... Your thoughts regarding a starch diet?? I would love to eat potatoes, rice & bread all the time, but I know for me it is not a good idea. Can someone like me who is insulin resistant & taking metformin ever b able to eat carbs again without serious problems?? I would like to contact U, but not sure U would accept my insurance if U R charging people to chat. I would assume U R. Thanks for the insight also... I love learning & hearing different points of view regarding diabetes a terrible disease!! It steals everything from a person. I have lost 2 people I knew from diabetes. Not knowing & not doing the right things to take care of themselves.

Stations not stations

Statins

2:55 carbohydrates are what caused your T2. This may or may not be true. The simple answer here is that a positive energy (fat and carbs) balance has been achieved. Then the subcutaneous adipose tissue became 'over full.' That then caused the adipcytes to become dysfunctional which then caused insulin resistance and the downward spiral into complete metabolic dysfunction. It is very sad for me to see medical professionals that don't even understand how the condition starts...who think that carbs caused it. FYI if a person cannot tolerate carbohydrate, it doesn't mean that carbohydrate caused it.
