He Crushed Diabetes: A1c from 14.5 to 5.3 in 3 Months! 

My A1c was 16.0!!!😱 3 years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. At night I was getting up every hour to pee, I couldn't stop drinking water, and my vision was blurring. I immediately dropped my carb intake to max 12g a day. 4 months later my A1c went from 16.0 to 3.8 and I lost 20 kg (44lbs). To this day my A1c is excellent. Low carb diet: I swear by it🙏🏾

12 days ago my wife was diagnosed type 2, immediately started keto with only cruciferous veggies and intermittent fasting. Her blood sugar dropped from 300 to 119...it works!

Great job!!! I did the same thing!!! My A1C was 10.3 and I brought it down to 5.4!!! I got off of 14 meds!!! That was in 2018 and I have never looked back!!! Prayer works my friends!!! God is listening and waiting to hear from you!!! God bless and protect you all!!!

2 years ago I weighed 430 lbs at 6'6" with an A1C 0f 14.2. I was wearing a 6xl t-shirt and I could barely walk up a flight of stairs. I started going to the gym and went on a low carb diet. I just celebrated my 59th birthday and I weigh 290 pounds and have an A1C of 4.2. It can be done with effort and determination. FYI I just wore my first 2xl shirt for the first time in over 30 years.

This program is 4 years old and doctors are still not informing their patients on any solution but drugs. Shameful.

Dennis, I think it would be valuable to check back with Rob now and see where he is with his diabetes issues three years later. This would make a good follow-up video.

IT'S THE SUGAR! I STRUGGLE WITH DIET BUT I NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE. I FEEL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER WHEN I DON'T EAT IT

l don't know if anyone will see this, but man this story is one of the most inspirational regarding type 2 diabetes l've seen, l'm type 2 and have been at war with diabetes and fully intend to take out the enemy, thank you brother. ❤

I'm on the same road! In October I was diagnosed type 2 with A1c of 17. My eye lenses were swollen - I got a glasses prescription. Neither the eye doctor or any doctor listened to me saying that I'm hoping that when my blood sugar is in control I'll have my vision back. It's back!!!! In November my A1c was 11. In December 7.9. I'm going to keep doing the right things - exercise, sleep, overnight fasting, watching my blood sugar results. I'm optimistic now.

Best comment ever “ if we weren’t meant to eat animals god wouldn’t have made them out of food”… I really like this nice sincere guy. I wish his so well

With the number of people suffering in the USA from Diabetes...... it should be mandatory for all students to complete Diabetes training before you can graduate high school !!!

I want to say thank you for your videos. Last December I had a similar wake up as this one. My A1C when my wife made me go to the ER was at a 15.2 glucose read of 1042. I am on multiple medications, but at my last visit, my A1C is down to a 5.8. I had to drastically change my diet, but I have always been very very active. The main things I enjoy with your videos is reading through the comment section. All the stories of recovery help me as I try to heal. God bless you for all the information you send out.

My A1c was 14 too...I have hope now...and I armed myself with The Whole Armor of God, and this good info, and I am ready to defeat that diabetes demon! I thank God, for programs like this, and I send blessings to you, Dr, and the guest!

I did same with diet and exercise. Cut out sugars, build muscle and burn off your energy each day by walking or being active. Thats all I did and cured myself and never took and meds at all!

Thank you guys so much for this, I’ve just been diagnosed as Type 1 after about a year and a half of a type 2 diagnosis. My A1c was 16 (which I’m finding it impossible to find accounts of it being that high for ANYONE) my blood sugar was 490 . They’ve put me on insulin injections and a very strict diet. Videos like this help me to know that this is NOT a death sentence and it’s just very encouraging .I’m not defeated and I caused it so I can fix it. Please keep me in your prayers. With the Good Lord, good Drs. And folks like you I know I can beat this. Thank you so much for the testimony. God Bless you abundantly

Diabetes, epilepsy, kidney stones and obesity. That's a lot of problems to have. Thank God for his healing!

I love hearing these stories of people fixing themselves by the Grace of the Lord So cool - good work guys

"I GRABBED MY GUN, AND I WENT TO WAR. THERE WAS AN INTRUDER, AND I HAD TO TAKE HIM OUT... FIGHT BACK." Those are going to be my fighting words. Thank you! Huge hugs. You've done so well for yourself!

Pray for my son that his diabetes be healed

I feel this. I'm the same age. Went from 7.3 to 5.6 h1c in 3 months with carnivore diet, exercise, sauna, and cold therapy. This man is an inspiration as well.

The more I watch your channel I see the changes I need. Robert you done such awesome on your A1c.. keep up the achievement. Wish the doctors I seen would of been this informative..

Thank you for this video. We need more teaching !! So many docs are quick to give pills but ppl aren't getting actual nutrition teaching.

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Great job! Glad Robert took personal responsibility instead of just relying on meds. 😁😁😁

My A1C was 13 and now it is 6.1. I am still working to keep it at 6.1 and I need to do it for a couple of months before I can have my meds changed. Pray for me and I love your vids.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2005. My wife put me on a strict “cardboard and water” diet. My first glucose check was 611… within 2 weeks of following my dietician’s diet and at that time taking 500mg of metformin morning and evening it dropped to an average morning fasting glucose of 113 so the diet works. In 2020, I retired after 41 years doing the same job and 13 days later, was in the hospital and found out I had congestive heart failure. I never took a sick day or missed a days work in those 41 years and was extremely confused. The doctors could not explain it and every test on everything else to be placed on the heart transplant list was normal if not above normal for a (then) 60 year old man. I lived in Wyoming most of my life, hiked at 10,000 plus feet to the tune of 100 plus miles a year, skied, fished, never smoked or drank and had no known history on my fathers side (my mother was a Hiroshima survivor so we have no knowledge of her family history)…. But… I listened to my doctors. Improved my eating and exercised as best as I could. On June 3rd 2021 I went into the hospital with a heart EF of 19% and they were going to place a ballon pump through my left leg into my heart to keep me alive until I could receive a transplant heart. The doctors wanted me to go to the Cath lab first and have fluid from around my heart removed that they noted on that days echo. They pulled 1972ml of fluid from around my heart (an unwanted record for the Houston Methodist Cath Lab) and everything started going back to normal. So they put me back in the cardio ward of the hospital and removed my PICC line, Milnirone pump and drip, all BP and Lasix meds and my EF was now 66%. Fast forward to today, I watch everything I eat… diet is everything IMHO… the cardio docs took me off Metformin (that stuff can be evil) and I now use a NPT protein based insulin (Humalin) morning and evening. I ride my bike 12 miles a day, kayak in the gulf and some of the local rivers and enjoy this second chance. My cardio doctor told me when I was released from the hospital… “we don’t know what made your heart go bad, nor do we even understand how a heart in the condition yours was in, had repaired itself, but we will chock it up once miracles of modern medicine” I looked at him and the 12 other doctors standing in my room and replied “I have had a lot of family and friends praying for me and I will take a miracle from God any day”. I believe that and I also believe if you do not maintain your diabetes… your other organs will cascade into failure and you will be rewarded with an early trip to the afterlife or whatever you believe. I watch your videos and thank you for all the information and inspiring people to stay healthy! God bless

This was the kick in the butt I needed today! ...and everyday to help motivate me. Great interview!

Been struggling on keeping my sugar down . This is the motivation to keep me fighting. Thank you for your videos.

Great story, very inspirational for me. Found out 3 weeks ago I'm 10.1 and on same same path thanks to you and your channel.

Rob! Words can’t express how much you have helped me and how similar my journey is to yours! My mother passed from diabetes at 63 and I have an A1C of 13 just now. I am on the hunt and ready to take this disease down.

I'm 67 now and I've been dealing with diabetes for over 20 years. I have had bypass heart surgery because of sugar spikes. I did not know that sugar spikes caused calcium spikes which caused blockages. I had the heart surgery and now I'm dealing with blocked arteries in my brain that surgery can not repair. I will eventually either have a stroke or a stroke and die from the blockages. I'm taking blood thinners now just so I don't get dizzy and fall down. If you are a diabetic, go to a person that can help you with the proper diet. I recently got my A1C down from 12 to 7 by eating homemade soup. I can't eat meat any more but sometimes I put fish or shrimp in my soup. I wish everyone luck in their journey.

Being diabetic I was prescribed medication, but I didn't take it ! I decided to change my.food intake and was able to.loose 30.lbs in 5 months and have a Non Diabetic diagnosis !! It is possible !!

My eyes has dramatically changed I can’t read the street signs either or see peoples faces in detail this is a wake up call

I like his idea of diabetes being an intruder. I'm going to declare war on my diabetes!

Tears..... I was told I have T2D 3 weeks ago and have been Binging on all your videos.... I am motivated thank you sir....

That’s wonderful!! Welcome to the low carb, lifestyle , lifetime club!! We are all in this together..prayers and encouragement welcomed 👍

Thank you for sharing my story Dennis. It was a pleasure talking to you! I pray many are inspired and while I know that a half hour conversation doesn’t include every detail of the journey, everyone who watches will have their own story and I hope they will see themselves in me and can fill in the blanks with their specifics and take diabetes head on like the violent intruder that it is. God bless :-)

I'm glad I ran across this channel. I am type 2 diabetic and Robert Porter inspired me to fight against the enemy of diabetes. Thank you, I feel I can change it. My A1C is currently 7.8. I am looking to change this within the next 3 months before I go back to my next doctor's visit.

Everything said in this video about quickly dropping blood sugar level is 100% true. My fasting blood sugar dropped 96 points and I lost 10 pounds in just 3 weeks. And, astonishingly, I’m never hungry. Thank you for this channel and the inspiration you provide.

The fork is a more powerful tool than a dumbbell...👍🏼

My vision did the same thing to where I couldn't even drive my a1c was 14.7 eating low carb since January 2019 an it's down to 5.4 an I've been took off insulin an lost 87 lbs eyes back to being able to see an I give God all the glory for it or I couldn't of done it healthy diet and exercise

Thank you again, Dennis for another inspirational video. Will listen to this one over and over just like the others! And congratulations to Rob for beating this monster!!

Amen! Congrats to you! I am in the process of reversing type 2 also. I have had three strokes and lost my vision to the point of no more driving. I am 63 and so far dropped mine to 5.6. Keep up the good work and thanks for your testimony1

It took me five months to go from glucose of 332 to average glucose of 77. I’m 84 and exercise is very painful so I only got exercise doing my daily routine. I lost 19 pounds too. I avoid carbs as much as possible. I am very elated and amazed at the results. My younger brother had all the horrors of diabetes happed to him so I had incentive to not let it happen to me.

I just watched this video. 3 weeks ago I went to my PT after my work physical. As usual, sugars are high. He prescribed meds for diabetes and High Blood Pressure. I'm already on BP meds. He diagnosed me a type 2. It hit me hard, I was first very angry with him (new Doc) the old Doc gave me a chance to fix it a couple years ago but I resisted, So I did a lot of soulsearching. 2 days later I started low carb low fat no sugar. Instantly I saw results. Watching this video I did not realize that I was getting dizzy for about a month and that was one of the key indicators I was out of whack on my sugars. Once I got off the carbs, I started checking my glucose daily and changed my food intake and started on the treadmill all of that went away. I am only 2 weeks in and everything is dropping BP, BS, weight. This is just a start for me but a start for the rest of my life. Should have listened to the docs years ago..... BTW, I did not pick up the meds, changing this with food and exercize. Great videos, they are helping me very much.

I’m forever grateful to you Dennis and the people that shared w/ us. Ty, for all the inspirations.

Excellent interview. And kudos to you for going into nursing - you’ll be an excellent motivator and educator for people who need to hear this message.

He ticked all the boxes. I went from 12.5 - 5.8 in 6 months. He is absolutely right on the grab your gun and go mercenery mode part. Declare war. Eat less, drop carbs, do high intensity and intermittent fasting. you'll get there in couple of months. Make sure you are in touch with your Dr to slowly phase out the pills :). Drs won't tell you this, coz they are not trained to tell you this. They are trained to push shots and pills...

I am diagnosed with 20.4 with exact same symptoms. And he inspires me to get back on my feet.

I was 52 when my primary care doctor said I have type 2 diabetes. I’m asian I ate alot of rice and I love bread and potatoes. when I get home I remove all those food and start eating all kind steam vegetables especially bitter gourd, steam fish and steam or grill chicken a year later I have my annual health check up and my doctor was shocked that my A1C was 5.1 from 7

Thanks for asking Rob about his eating habits bc in the quest to maintaining a healthy A1C, what we eat is always key to beat diabetes. Thanks

Hi Dennis, I just found you on RU-vid, and feel so blessed! Thank you so much for all these amazing videos you have put out. I am insulin resistant with PCOS and really trying to go low carb and exercise as metformin has really wrecked me with fatigue. I'm being monitored under my doctor, but these videos are extremely inspiring. I also appreciate that you are a man of faith, as I believe that God will give us the strength to proceed and be at the best health that we can be as it's our responsibility with what we eat. Thanks again!

What wonderful news!! Thanks for sharing this

A1C is 6.0 I'm stopping all breads, white rice, beans, sugar and last all pasta until I can bring that number to a normalcy 🙏

What he said about sugar, made me realize how we can be stuffed/full yet still 'make room' for dessert.

I liked this video and will watch it more. Struggling with diabetes myself and believe they keep you on medication to keep you diabetic. Thank you for your encouragement.

Thanks so much Rob, the grace of God will see you through. Good lob Rev, you're the best.

I’ve just found and subscribed to your channel. My husband (74) is type 2 and having multiple problems with his health,mainly heart. He was told the usual about eat pasta, jacket potatoes in fact lots of carbohydrates and we have just found out from yourselves this is the worse thing we could have done. I have been slowly killing my husband! I am now tying to redress this an as an answer to prayer I have found ‘beat diabetes ‘. My husband is now so cross and confused at all the conflicting advice that has been given us I am finding it difficult to encourage him. It is the amazing testimonies you share that, with the Lords help will make a difference. So thanks You compare grains with seeds. I thought grains ARE seeds? Every blessing to those who fight this battle and share their story In His hands, God bless. Joan, We live in UK.

5.3 A1c??? At 230lbs? Unbelievable achievement bro, really bro. Hats off to your unbelievable act of conquering this disease. I am still puzzled

What an amazingly inspiring. Interview-and what a bright, delightful young man! Both of you are bringing more than one important life-affirming message to your audience ! 😋🥳👍

LOVE THIS STORY ....I’am not diabetic .... but many of my friends are!!!! I’ll rush this video right now to them! Hope they be as encouraged as me to take steps away from this killing disease !! REGARDS FROM MEXICO !!! JAIME age 57

Im on my to a good a1c. I had a 10 a1c last month and when testing my blood sugar it was at 247 now one month later my morning readings are 113 to 116 no medication. I was allergic to the first medication I tried which made me very scared of medication. I found your you tube right away thank you. Im 47 years old and a female. You are helping save lifes.

That's unbelievable. It just shows that when one is determined to beat Diabetes at its early stage or at any stage, there's so much you can do and that makes a lot of difference. Thank you for sharing.

High School and college wrestlers are some of the most focused and determined people on our good earth. Amazing story and tremendous accomplishment.

For me "Fasting" is doing wonders for me! I eat once per day~I used to eat 5 to 6×'s but as I got older my body changed. I portion off my 🍖meat/protein, I fix a hearty 🥗salad with berries(strawberries~blackberries~blueberrie~raspberries) mushrooms, an 🍎apple, some 🌰onion & sometimes an 🍊orange. A little Olive Oil & a little Apple cider vinegar goes a long way as well.

Way to go Rob! I love your warrior spirit brother!

Another great story. Keep up the good work Robert.

Thanks much for your channel brother and sister.. My journey to recovery started Sunday..asking for prayer to stay the path! Blessing

Rob is an inspiration!! Keep up the good work!!!! A few years ago, my glucose was 266 and I told my doctor to give me a month, I will bring it down. And I DID!!! No meds needed! I hate the gym so I started walking around my house and in my driveway 3-4 days a week, stopped drinking alcohol (man was that hard!), did serving sizes, cut out most sugary foods/drinks. 5 years later and my morning glucose reading is around 103 which is still pre-diabetic, but at least I'm not on any pills. It's all about cutting out the sugar and carbs and moving a little!!

Wonderful ,thank you Dennis🎉after 5 years seeing this video

What a fantastic interview. How inspiring!!!

Man I needed to hear this! Thank you Dennis.

Thank you both for this. Exercise is a huge factor.

Very insightful! Especially when he mentioned about eating his meal with soda and then with water. That sugar from soda makes you want and eat more than you normally would and that it turns off or suppresses the switch to say you’re full. As a very heavy fast food meal consumer, I always wondered why and how a fast food restaurant afford to sell their large coke for only a $1. They can’t be making much of a profit it if any so why are they essentially giving it away; as this guy reveals, it’s probably because it makes you more hungry and drive your appetite to consume more from them. Now, this makes all sense.

I just found out I was diabetic a week ago. My a1c was also over 14 and my blood glucose level was at 440 when I was given the news. I am honestly very scared, but this video has definitely given me some hope. Thank you. You have 1 new subscriber.

May 23rd two years ago I almost died kept telling doctors something was wrong with me finally I told doctor to do blood work that night they called and said I need to get to emergency room right away cholesterol was 889 and sugar was just about 800 I kept telling doctors something was wrong I didn't eat all I wanted to drink fluids and couldn't get enough my eyes were so bad I couldn't stop sleeping I had no energy for anything I was in ICU for over a week they kept pumping with so much potassium they said if I didn't get the hospital like I did I wouldn't of woke up the next morning I was told I was diabetic for about 5 yrs and didn't know I was diabetic I thank God every day for letting me live I could do died so if you know something going on with your body demand your doctor to do blood work I have a doctor now who listens to me God really been with me because I have no kidney or other problems with my organs

14.8 here 3 months legally blind from glucose crystals in my eyes. Routine advice for three years Mid 5 to mid 6% A1c Max dose of metformin 5 years keto 5 to 5.6% A1c the entire time 5.6% A1c, currently Zero meds the entire time, plus I got rid of all my other medications and 60 lbs. 9 years diabetic Zero complications Zero diabetic wire dance or disease, 20/20 vision per my last check up in March. Carb restriction works and it just makes common sense. If your body can't regulate blood sugar, don't eat so many foods that become blood sugar or foods with a lot of carb content. God knew what he was doing when he created our bodies with MULTIPLE avenues for energy sources.

My last A1C was 11.0 and I'm 59 years old and experiences sight loss now. This gives me hope to possibly reverse this disease before it kills me. Thank you.

You are really inspiring me. I have cut down my carbohydrates a lot, and my weight is going down naturally. My fasting glucose reading (taken at 10 a.m. on Monday mornings) gradually went down from 126 to 103 in 4 weeks! I know I'm not out of the dark forest yet, but I'm working on it.

I'm so glad I came across this video. Very helpful. I need to get the ball rolling on better health for myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for sharing to both of you. This provides a lot of info for me who are starting (or restarting mostly) the journey of reversing my type 2 diabetes. Knowing that others face similar predicament gives assurance that I'm not alone and the things that I'm doing is somewhat correct and shall bear fruit in the future.

Another Great Testimonial Dennis! I was hit with a T2D diagnosis at a walk in clinic in Houston with an A1c of 12.5 in August 2017. I’m a big guy at 6’4” 395lbs. I went with the vegetarian lifestyle I’d seen on RU-vid and started daily exercise to try to reverse it. I have lost 40lbs but found that I still wanted meat and had been eating carbs all this time. Garlic bread is vegetarian right?! Lol. I found your videos online and decided to start eating less than 30 carbs a day on July 3, 2019 after seeing such great results like on this video. I’m doing intermittent fasting with no food from 8pm until to 2pm the next day. My fasting glucose is now around 120 and I plan on testing my A1c in Nov so it has time to adjust. My wife is a cute little thing but was diagnosed with fatty liver from eating with me! She’s now on this plan with me too. So who knows... I hope to be another one of your successful testimonials in the next few months. God Bless You for all of your work/ministry on RU-vid sir.

I got from 14.4 A1C to normal glucose in under 2 months. That was 3 years ago and am still in normal range. My vision, which got really bad really fast, came back much better than before. Rarely use glasses now, only for distance sometimes, when driving. Still on low carb.

Thank you so much for this video. It makes me cry, I’m 33 type 2 and my a1c when up to 14+ I have hope now.

Great vid!!! This gives me encouragement.. I’ve been pre/diabetic for awhile, and now taking steps with intermittent fasting, cutting the carbs and sugar… I’ve added bitter melon as a staple to my meals.. cut out all sugar drinks… And every time I feel like I want to splurge on something, I come to RU-vid to stay on tract… everyday I watch a vid on what diabetes is doing, intermittent fasting or keto to stay motivated..

Warrior story! Thank you both for sharing. Very relatable and encouraging.

Hello Dennis just wanted to say thank you for your videos and help. 3 months ago went to the doctors office my blood level where at 500 with my a1c at 11 with your help 3 months later went back to doctors now my a1c is at 5.2 off all meds. Thanks you god bless you

Thank you for sharing. I was just crying about this very thing. I'm going to fight this fight as well with the information I've obtain from you and others.

I was diagnosed with Diabetes January, 2007 and The Doctor Give me a prescription And I'm not going to drink those pills. I'm beginning to Wake up 3.am in The morning to Pray The Lord And The Lord really. Help me To stop eating The food no good for me and begining to eat more Healthy I lost 70 pounds and I have my blood sugar levels down . I THANKS TO THE LORD 🙏🙏 EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR HIS BLESS. MY LIFE COMPLETELY CHANGE AND NOW I'M DOING GOOD THANKS TO THE LORD 🙏🙏🙏 AMEN

Thanks so much for taking the time awesome!!!!

So inspiring! Thank you both for this great interview.

THIS IS FANTASIC. THANK YOU DENIS!

God bless both of these men in the video, you guys encouraged me to take the war to these bad disease!

I did the same in 10 weeks I went from 8.9 to 4.9 I am a truck driver and was told on my physical that I needed to see a doctor for diabetes and so I did. I experienced vision loss, It was a wake up call for me. I lost 41 pounds, gym 3x a weeks . I can relate to this gentleman symptoms.

Give all Glory to GOD 🙏...I was seeking a video like this since I'm pre-diabetic and want to reverse it. Thank You Dennis!

Big Thank You Dennis for these enlighthening videos, God bless

My congratulation to you Robert. I like the attitude. I had the same attitude when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer eight years ago. I am still hanging there but now I have a pre-diabetes situation to deal with also. Thanks for the encouagement. We will press on regardless

Thanks so much, this is very encouraging, though I'm not diabetic yet,as my doctor says, but she warned me seriously, because as she says, I'm close to full blown diabetic, since then, I chose my diet well,and research a lot, mostly on RU-vid. Thanks..

I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetic. Thanks for the video. Will help many for years to come.

I'm going through this man's journey - I stumbled into the same 'youtube' people on diabetes. 🙂 thanks for this post!

Mine was 14.7 A1c. I am a 55 year old male and had numbness in my toes and now have peripheral neuropathy. This was in 2012. I did half ass low carb and got it down to 7.7 with metformin. Two years ago I did keto and IF for 22 months now and now longer diabetic and no medications after 3 months of keto/IF.
