In Nov 2018, my A1C was measured as 14. I was put on insulin shots and medication. After this, I made huge changes to my diet, reducing my intake of high net carbohydrate foods dramatically. Two and a half months later A1C went down to 5.4. I was so surprised. Off the insulin shots and down 60 pounds after 4.5 months.
What are the high net carbohydrates? The high net carbohydrates are foods that I should avoid eating? And if I avoid eating these high net carbohydrates and eat more fruits and vegetables and drink nothing but water every day including fasting will this reduce my A1C level ?
I am 71 yrs of age. In 3 months I reduced my A1c reading from 6.9 to 6 without any medication. I had already stopped drinking regular soda with sugar a few years ago and almost ate no bread even before that. But I still needed to get off all the sugary processed food, including flour, pasta and rice, and any high-carb fruits. I started exercising at the gym 3 days a week, lost 10 Ibs. and tried some intermittent fasting. I don't know what helped me the most to lower my blood sugar, but I will continue with this formula. Sadly my mother died of diabetes complications. But who says diabetes can't be beaten. Thank you for this video.
I had an A1C of 15.7 and a glucose count of 467. This was on 15 May 2019. I went keto omad and after a week my glucose was at 123. In 3 more days I was at 100. I then went carnivore and my glucose has been running between 75 and 95. I have started longer fasts and just finished a 3 day fast. I refused metformin and insulin. I also started walking and I train with kettlebells and body weight movements. I'm 62. My glucose seems to have leveled out now during a fast which tells me my body has reset and my liver is producing glucose more like it should. During an earlier 2 day fast it got down to 67 although I felt absolutely fine and had a killer kettlebell workout that day. I only check glucose twice a week now. My next A1C check is on 12 August. Big pharma can go to hell.
@@domesticviolencemastery3609 my A1C on 12 August had fallen from 15.7 to 5.6. That's less than 3 months. No one needs to be a slave to allopathic medicine of big pharma.
I was diagnosed with A1C of 6.7 a year ago, and it took me months to understand what was happening to me, one dr saying it is okay, the other putting me on Metformin. The next blood test after working hard on my part to cut the sugar out of my diet was only lowered to 6.5 and at first I was very disheartened. I had to appreciate the good things that were happening to me, swelling and infection down, walking without fear, disposition greatly improved, and sleeping much better. So, thank you for telling me to have a little more patience and also to tell me I don't need to check it every morning when I rise.
Thank you Joan Elkins. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thank you ,Dr Ekberg, for your clear explnation and sensible advice. It is so important to be realistic about health treatments and to follow a consistent method with hope and patience.
Wow, awesome video! This is exactly what I need. My A1c was 8.7, and I've been doing a low-carb diet for 3.5 months, and my new A1C is 6.3. It is exactly like what you described!!! Thank you!!!
I have been following your advice for the last 9 weeks yesterday as in 2/7/23 had my diabetic check and my A1c drop from 6.6 to 6.3. Thank you for all your advice.s he on RU-vid
wow, i had no idea, great info, as thx to you and one other dr on line here, that i respect, i made my dr test my hubby and I for a1c and we are both pre diabetic. so, i have worked hard to cut back (not out) but low on carbs, and mine is going down. he is not yet on board, but im trying to tell him this is our chance to avoid diabetes.
My first Hb1Ac on Sept 3rd was 91mmol/L = 10.5%. My second was on 4th November and came back at 69mmol/mol = 8.5%. Nurse wanted to increase my metformin dose - but since I had not taken any of it this seemed silly to me! I feel I am well on track to achieve an Hib1Ac around about the 53mmol/mol level - 7% - quite soon. Thanks for your video which has been a big help. I follow KETO and OMAD for about a month now. Prior to that I reduced carbohydrates and used IF, but not sufficiently to have much impact on the Hb1Ac. Ergo I think I will not need the metformin. I have no symptoms from the high Blood Sugar and have noticed some improvements in my skin. I'd had back acne for most of my life - from teens until a few weeks ago [ 57 now] but is has almost gone away now. Losing loads of belly fat too especially under my ribs which is also a sign things are working. Exasperated by the medics who push their drugs and do not listen to my experience at all.
When I was diagnosed as a diabetic my average glucose was 350. My doctor told me to start with metformin. I tried it for 2 days and then discarded it. I lowered my BG from 350 to average of 100 in 2 weeks by starting LC diet and IF without any exercise. So, it really doesn't take a huge effort or cost to control your BG as long as you are disciplined
You explain this so well. I don’t fast enough though but now getting into it after 6 months. I was doing Omad until we got shut down at work... hoping to get back to working soon.
My wife's A1C In January 2019 = 6.6 In March 2919 = 5.9 January's reading was after following a vegan diet for 30 days March's reading was after following a carnivore diet for 30 days.
My husband just lowered his A1C from 7.4 to 5.6 in less than 3 months. He ate a low carb diet (no sugar, very little carbs, no artificial sweeteners) and took 2500 mg of cinnamon (with chromium & biotin) and Berberine. He also dropped 20 pounds. He is very thankful for this informative video!!
My A1-C was at 7.5 on Feb.15, 2022 and on Jun 1st it was 4.9. I followed all your advice and lost 20 lbs. Cut out all sugar and bread and most anything that had carbs. I'm back to normal A1-C but I'm still going to stick with the new diet based on the Keto plan. My doctor was very impressed and wanted to know how I did it. Thank you !!
What did you eat and how often did you eat. I am helping my wife change her diet and promised to help her from 11.1 A1c to 5.6 in three months. She went from 362 fasting glucose to 141 in two weeks, but it jumped back to 171 today. We kept the same low carbs and work out, but don't know why it jumped up today. Did you experience lows and highs in your glucose on your way to 4.7? Really hope you respond and congratulations. That must have been awesome to see!
@@easyp26 , some of the sprouts ( like fenugreek) help control diabetes . I also worked my way to walking 10.5-12 miles a day. My glucose stayed fairly steady .
Thank you for your EXCELLENT content. I have learned so much from you. At 51 years old, I weighed in at 372 and suffered from chronic pain, migraines and no energy. Life was miserable and I felt hopeless things would ever change. I started the Whole30 on Oct 15, 2019 and ate low carb for that first month. The change was miraculous. On Nov 15th (After the 30 days),I transitioned to keto. My starting A1C was 5.8 and fasting blood sugar 117. On Jan 29, 2020 (3.5 months from my changed eating), my A1C dropped to 4.8 and my fasting glucose to 98. In that same timeframe, I lost 64 lbs. Changing the way I eat has given me my life back. ❤️
100 days ago I went to my Primary Care group with a BG of 452 and an A1C of 14. At the time I did not know what was wrong with me. I knew that I had a family tendency to become diabetic. My two siblings both have diabetes. I was urinating hourly around the clock. I was unable to ride my bicycle very far without leg and other body cramps. In two months I had lost 14 lbs without trying to lose weight. My PA immediately put me on Metformin and daily insulin injections. I cut all added sugars in my food completely and ate only white toast as my only white carb. After a few weeks I cut out the white bread completely. My diet includes eggs, beans, greens, avocados, some healthy meat, butter, cheese, an occasional sweet potato, and lots of nuts, . My only fruits were berries, such as blueberries. Two weeks ago I stopped taking insulin completely. My A1C test a few days ago was 6.8. As described in the video I expect it to drop considerably by the time of my next appointment with my PA in two months. Along with the vastly improved A1C I realized other health benefits. My vision had been deteriorating a lot over the past two years. It was a huge thing to have my clear vision return completely within a few weeks of going on this eating regimen along with exercise. I am back to cycling over 100 miles each week with no muscle cramping and I have plenty of energy without taking supplements such as gels during a bike ride. This approach to eating works!
I’ve had diabetes type 1 for 12 years now, I’m 26 yo. I weighed 56 just a month ago and my a1c was 8.2.. I started a diet with no sugar and started hitting the gym and taking creatine monohydrate. 20 days later I gained weight I’m 59 kg now and my a1c is at 6.7. Today marks 30 days since I started the diet and I tested my a1c in a lab.. Ill inform you later about the results, pray for me.
My A1c was 9.8 then 6 weeks of Keto it was 8.6, 4 months Keto it was 6.7. I will find out in a week what it is at 7 months. I can’t wait! Thank you for this video! It’s very informative.
I just got my blood tested. my A1c is around 9.5.. I'm kinda disappointed. I was pissed until I stumbled upon this video. Thank you. This video gave me hope. It's not the end of the world for me.
I'm eating ultra-low carb diet (KETO) at 30 g of carbs a day. No fasting. I've gone from an A1C reading of 7 to 5.5 in three months. My doctor called me personally and could not stop praising the drop. He was in shock. Personally, it was not that difficult. I still ate well & was full. I don't like starving myself. I will continue this way of eating for the rest of my life, since it also has helped with my auto-immune body pain. My cholesterol levels are normal. For everyone out there, please note that if you start eating like you were in the past, the diabetes & weight will come back w/ a vengeance. Stay healthy & safe.
I'm following your advice. I'm 5'8" male that weighed 234 and diagnosed pre-diabetic and taking max dose of Meloxicam and Lovastatin daily...getting worse day by day. I started IF/Keto and progressed to OMAD/Keto within 2 weeks, and working-up to 30 minutes of mild aerobic stationary bicycle per day. In 30 days I lost 22lbs, my blood glucose is down to "normal levels". My BP and resting pulse are now at "optimal" levels. My pain pain and swelling (inflammation/arthritis) has receded to manageable levels and are getting better day by day. I stopped taking the medications at 30 days and feel better each day. I feel 10 years younger already (I'm 59)! Thank you for educating me on insulin resistance and how to stop and reverse the damage. I am all in on this lifestyle change. I go back to my doctor for a check-up and blood work in 4 months. I can't wait to see his face when the results come back! Edison Pearce 02/13/2023.
I started low carb and IF on Aug 3rd and had an A1C of 7. Just last week received a reading of 5.6. I am thrilled withers results in 4 months time. I hope I can get it a little lower. Oh also I am tapering off steroids for my Lupus.
Amen. When you have results like that it makes you wonder where the low fat proponents get their information. That fat would cause insulin resistance. Congratulations. Keep it up.
I'm doing the Med diet and Intermittent fasting have lost 15 pounds in almost 2 months my A1c was 5.7 I'm not done yet still have a long way to go this is the diet that I have to maintain for the rest of my life pray for me that the Lord will give me discipline strength and will power to get back to normal.
I was diagnosed diabetic about 15 weeks ago . with a blood glucose level of 22. The HbA1C (IFCC) was 14.9 3 months ago one week ago the HB A1C was 8.3 in the last 7 months my weight has reduced from 91 kg to 79 a size 42 pants to a size 36. these results are at the age of 60+ Without taking metformin due to extreme side effects. Am having a lot of benefits. not craving a lot of water. not waking up 4 to 5 times to urinate. waking up fresh and lively after 6.5 to 7 hours. have not felt like that in 40 years. It is wonderful to get your holistic approach. Thank you. May the blessings be. My goal is to bring my insulin level down to 3 and totally reverse my insulin resistance.
Well thank you for this information, was getting a bit worried my life change wasn't working been so good since February, have lost 20lbs but A1 still 7.5 coming down. You have given such good info especially the one about gallbladder loss thanks will keep watching and learning. My diabetic nurse is herself diabetic and we'll over weight , no confidence in her then
Thank you anne Paul. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks topman I've listened n learnt ai1c at 4.3 down 63lb consistent weight of 67kg 5 10 tall much appreciated feel like a young man again im 52yrs old
Hi Dr. Ekberg, I started with an A1C of 9.2 after a severe pancreatitis in May 2020. And with a low carb diet, and exercise I lost 40 lbs, and now my A1C is 5.2% My triglycerides went down from 20000 to 50 I'm so happy!!! Thank you Dr, I saw almost all your movies. You're doing a wonderful job!!!
Back in 2013 when I was first diagnosed it was 9.0. I was on metformin 500mg twice a day. 3months after it was down to 5.6. shed 30% of my weight, exercised and watched my diet. While I was still on medication my results were between 5.5-5.8 but when it came down to 5.2 reduced med to 500/day. Several months later I stopped taking metformin. My results were the same. Almost the same as when I was on med. I eliminated teff(gluten free whole grain with lower glysemic index). but I still used to eat 3times a day and also snacked. Then I heard about intermittent fasting and keto diet. So that did the magic trick for me. ever since then, my A1C hovered around upper 4.0's and lower 5.0's. A year ago my A1C was 5.0. since around 2017 I eat twice a day and on a low carb diet. It wasn't an easy ride but am there.
I have been checking my blood every day only because I just found out about my A1c and I stopped eating all the crap I usually eat and I am curious as to how low I can get my blood sugar. When it was 380 my wife just about dialed 911. When I found out my A1c was 10 I got real scared. I stopped all the candy, brownies, doughnuts, sugar in the coffee and now I try to eat low carb and low sugar. I got it from 282 to 273 to 158 and I just checked it at 130. I know it goes up and down depending, but from when I started to now I'll take 130 over 380. It's going to be a struggle for me, but at least I know I can make it happen.
The man I care for dropped his a1c in 2 weeks. From 13.9 to 9.2 by cutting back to 30 carbs per meal and being disabled goes outside about an hour a day. A couple days A week and fuses in TBE little flower bed he is in a wheel chair from monsanto diabetes
You explains things so well. You are the top doctor and best RU-vid doctor! Love how you present things like keto, blood sugar, A1c and everything so well.
I’m so happy I found you, Dr Ekberg! I finally understand what is going on with my body and treat the cause not the symptoms. I wish your videos had subtitles in Portuguese so I could share it with all my family and friends in Brazil!
Thank you Merlyn Damianose. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. Most doctors have no nutrition training and a very poor understanding of physiology and innate intelligence. They are unfortunately trained that drugs is the answer.
Diagnosed April 11th at 12.6 A1C. Did NOT do Keto diet. But did change. Had ZERO sugar, ZERO fast food, ZERO steaks and ZERO fried foods. I kept eating carbs and changed to sourdourgh bread (almost daily eating sourdough). Changed to fish 3-4 times a week, lots of salads and veggies as well for dinner, once a week I make a chicken an vegetable stir fry with SUGAR FREE stir fry sauce, FAGE yogurt with blueberries and strawberries squished in every other day for breakfast. I even still enjoy an Islands hamburger every week for lunch (wheat bun of course). I take a raw tblspn of extra virgin olive every morning after breakfast a tblspn of apple cider vinegar with water EVERY day b4 dinner and a cup of hibiscus tea with 1/2 tspn of cinnamon EVERY day around 9 pm...August 1st, my A1C was down to 5.6. When I went to the hospital on April 11th, I weighed 209 lbs, today I am down to 185
I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes 8.8 which really scared me. I have lost within 4 weeks 6 lbs eating very little carbs. Since my diagnosis I have really watched my carbs intake. I just wanted you to know that this video was very informative for me and will prepare me for my next A1 c test coming up in October 2021. Thank you!!
August 18, 2022 my a1c was 8.7. I've been watching your videos for a while and decided that I wasn't going to take more meds. I'm 57, was 295 and disabled. I started keto in October and have been strict minus a few days and try my best to do OMAD. Measured my blood sugar today and it was 97. AMAZING! Thank you!
On May 13, 2021 my A1c was at 12.3 & now on June 22, 2021 I brought it down to 5.7. But I’m not finish yet I’m looking to go lower ( faith & motivation )
I’ve just started a low carb diet to reverse my diabetes diagnosis. I am not taking any diabetes meds at the moment, and have lost ~ 10 lbs. I’m 68 yo with an A1C of 7.5. What time of day do you recommend testing the glucose level?
Why can't a Dr simply tell you this when you visit after a test? Straight forward, to the point. They say here is the number, here is the prescription for meds. No treatment plan, no explanation, just weird. I had to find your video, subscribe and just feel like I'm getting better explanations for this that your Dr should tell you up front. No, I'm not taking meds, just following strict keto, fasting and IF and need to be patient.
This is very informative. I was at 11.5 a month ago, dropped 9lbs and my A1c went down to 10.3. Knowing now how long it will take, I feel confident that I can slow my pace and make realistic goals and still achieve the same results. (And this hasn't been me doing full keto. Just cutting back.)
Since it takes 3-4 months to lower on keto, what happens if in that time, we eat a real sugar dessert? Does it take another couple months to go lower again because of the one dessert?
Not a doc or nutritionist, but if your goal is to lower A1c, I think it’s a safe bet that will slow your progress. But if you totally buy into the low carb lifestyle and do that for a few months, you are not going to want that dessert, and if you taste it, I bet you won’t find it as enjoyable as it used to. I don’t think you have to make yourself miserable and feel deprived though. Portion control is a big part of all this too.
i fond out i was diabetic in october of 2023 and my A1c was 10.8 or a 94 in the UK's way of testing, and as of 2 days ago my A1c levels are now 5.9 or 41 and in the UK anything under 6.5 or 48 is seen as healthy and non diabetic. now the next step for me is to try and keep my A1c low as i slowly come off of the meds over the next year or so, wish me luck Everyone :). For people that have just fond out You are diabetic, i know it may feel like the end of the world but its not if i can get my A1c down this much only in 4 months then You can too. Be safe and be well Everyone
@@hifthishana3161 i can eat carbs, But i have to be careful with what kinds of carb heavy foods i do eat oddly im seem to be ok with pasta but bread still puts my blood sugars into low orbit. at the end of the day Your going to have to find what works best for Your body because what works for me may not work for You. best of luck to you :)
Depends how much and how long you exercise. If you exercise daily, less than a month. With HIIT even less. Sweating is also very important. Hard exercise seems to burn up the sugar or glycosolated red cells at a faster rate. Marathon runners or triathletes almost never have diabetes. That should tell us something. In my personal experience taking up hard cycling daily will vastly speed up the process. I ride 10-15mi/day and whenever my numbers get out of whack I found that hitting the cycling harder each day lowers the numbers within a week or two. Not to 4.8 but close enough. Consider doing an all-day cycling trip or a short 2-3 bike packing trip. Pedal and sweat all day and you will see improvement. Cycling burns 600 calories/hour and after half a day, you are burning any and all reserves the body can find.
@@wildstyle203 I lift moderate to heavy but more so weights for cardio... Light weights while walking and moderate to heavy at the gym... But brother i always say just take it one day at a time... The main key is fasting...
My A1C last July 18, 2019 is 8.9 and started low carb and intermittent fasting August 17 my results 8.1 September 28 is 7.3 and my last is November 11 is 6.6 maybe by February 2020 it’ will be normal
My Alc was like 6.1 or 6.2.. Idk something along the lines of that. I was in Israel for awhile eating unhealthy. I had health insurance in Israel, but I barely knew the language so I never got checked out. I return to the states find out I have like Diabetes or maybe I was pre.. I'm 30 years old , and I'm like oh hell no... I go home throw everything out of my fridge, and legit go to the store and buy all greens. 4 months I dropped like 30lbs... more probably. now my Alc is like 5.1 Problem solved 🤣. year later, I put back on the weight. eliminated all soft drinks. Eat a lot of nuts, greens, kale, spinach... My blood pressure a year ago 180/90, High cholesterol , Alc 6.2.. Today blood pressure 120/90, Cholesterol still high I think 🤔, Alc still at 5.2
Dear doc, started Carnivore 13 weeks ago, A1c went from 5.6 to 5.7. After watching your explanation that it takes 7-months I feel hopeful that it's just going to take time. My triglycerides went down and hdl went up. The ldl went up but I need to test to see if that is small or large.
I've been cutting carbs and sugars not pastry etc, but still struggling with bread which I eat the keto and the whole wheat only, I know still it will convert into sugar. Please ideas for the morning breakfast 🙏🍒
I got my a1c checked a few weeks ago and it was 5.1 which is good. But I just started keto and fasting to try and lose body fat and help my blood presssure. Is it possible that my a1c could drop too low?!?
Thank you Doctor Ekberg. I had already know about the red blood cells. I've been on keto 5 months. But since you have explained it with the chart, so well,... I now know that it will take a full year for my A1C to be where I need it. That really helps me to focus and reach my goal.
It’s amazing how doctors don’t explain this. 120 days can make a difference on A1c. I was told by my doctor I had slightly elevated A1c and I freaked out on till I found this guy explaining it. Thank you for explain it.
Feb. 16- 22- A1C my Blood labs result from 11.5 (283) 40 days later (March 26-22 A1c was 4.7 ( 88) , about 200 point drops in 40days, I'm 60 years old 173 lb. 2 eggs for a breakfast cup of green tea, vitamins,, lunch burger or fish, chicken without the bread. dinner a piece of meat chicken, steak, pork tenderloin, beans, or a big salad. green tea 4 bottles of water each day. snacks, hummus, peanut butter with a banana on a toasted sandwich. apple or oranges.
Thank you so much for all your lectures/teaching - you help me enormously! This lecture has been especially helpful in setting realistic expectations. I cut sugar, bad fats and processed food almost completely about a year ago but didn’t lose much weight, and checking bg levels w/finger sticks caused those finger tips to go numb so I stopped checking. Still my A1C went from 800’s to 700’s and my doc told me about and prescribed the Free Style Libre 14 day monitor. Now I can measure bg as often as I like and adjust my food intake accordingly. I still wasn’t losing wt like I’d hoped so began water fasting 1/2 of each week and eating 1 meal/day the other half and started losing about 2 pounds a week and lost a total of 75 pounds. Although I am not a beast - don’t have to eat b/c grelin’s been activated and I can do really hard things I began finding it really hard (seemingly impossible) to water fast and in about 3 wks gained back 15 pounds, only eating the same healthful foods, one meal a day most 6/7 days a week. My bg has also been much harder to keep between 70 and 100 on this regimen. Apparently, for me, water fasting is also necessary and just needs to be part of how I do life as a 73 year old with Type II Diabetes. Thank you again for your teaching and inspiration!
so what does insulin resistance do in regards to red blood cells........once your sugar levels are low does that mean you are non diabetic? Does insulin resistance still exist even though you bring down the A1c to safe levels? For example......if my A1c drops to high 4's or low 5's and I consume something with carbs will it spike like when I was a diabetic a1c 6.9?.....does it take a while for the insulin resistance to go away as well? I do realize when I return to healthy levels my situation can reverse if I dont stay on my keto friendly diet....
Thank You James B. Yes it can take a while and you may never be totally "cured". The body has a set point and a "memory". It still remembers how it used to respond.
Dr. Ekberg thank you for this simple explanation...I go to the endocrinolgist soon and will avoid the temptation to check my A1c ahead of time...she and I can both be surprised ! Started Keto since my January visit and my blood sugar and weight changes are better than expected!
On March 11th this year my A1C was 6.5 my primary was readying metformin and the endocrinologists. I cut all extra sugars and processed carbs and on May 10th my A1C was 5.7, my Dr was shocked...
ty Dr! my test meter just says hi. how can I adjust that? how long will it take if I throw out the eclairs, cinnamon toast, potato chips and those kind of things? Will diet coke need to go too?! ouch. Also, how about morning hazelnut coffee? I want to change - MY BODY IS TIRED NOW...
Glad you are ready. Do it gradually but consistently. Get rid of artificial stuff (diet coke). Get rid of sugar, carbs and processed foods. You've watched enough videos that you are starting to get the idea. Just keep it up. I can't tell you how long it will take, but the right time to start doing the right thing is still now. 😃
My A1C was 13 on 4/01/22. I went on a low carb diet by the end of May. I also found out I was in Ketosis while I was doing my low carb diet. My HA1C today is 6.3 07/09/22
Bobby Byrd , keep working on your diet, but medication may be needed. It was for me. With medications ( metformin and Ozempic) my time AIC is now 5.4% and holding. Taking blood sugar at home is also helpful and now reasonable cost.
Thank you, Dr Ekberg! Your presentation really assured me of why daily testing for A1C is not required! One question, are there special/certain foods that could help reduce my A1C? Thank you!
June, track your carbs daily and lower your intake gradually. Start watching ALL of Dr. E’s videos and you’ll learn what to do. What I did was to go through my pantry and I gave away 65 pounds of food to a food bank. I also threw away a lot of opened items from the freezer and refrigerator. Just watch his videos and stop buying processed foods. Read the labels to track carbs. Good luck
Yes. Many. Eat fat, protein, (chicken, fish, shrimps, sardines, eggs) some vegetables, drink water, green tea, apple cider vinegar, black coffee, walk after eating, cut down your carbs, sugar, enough sleep, less stress, don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, do grounding. Walk barefoot on the ground outside. Be happy. ❤❤❤
I have a very good doctor Recent first time a1c was 8.9. My doctor advised me to cut carbs and increase green leafy vegetables. I naturally have a high fat intake. My a1c will be retested at the end of 6 months. Only another 5 months to go. I have already dropped 4kg and my glucose levels are also dropping. This is the best diet as I never feel hungry
Dr. Sten his cholesterol values are also high LDL is 180 .... Tell me what i should do becoz i don want my father rely on sugar medicine in entire life... Being a pharmacist I know the side effects of medicines
Thank you hifza Abbas. Cholesterol, blood pressure and insulin all go together. Remember that there is no quick fix for problems that took years or decades to develop, but it's worth spending some time on how to get healthy safely and to sustain the results. Here is a list of videos on that and related topics.Here is a list of videos on _ ru-vid.comsearch?query=insulin+resistance+diabetes
