What You Want To Know About My Insulin Resistance Journey 

The more I've listened to Dr.Shawn Baker, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Fung,...I am FREE from the fear mongers. REAL Freedom!!

finally someone so focused I don't have any questions or doubt ❤❤❤❤ Today my fasting glucose is 91mg and I am so happy!!! I started measuring it because I've always been super thin but I gained a lot of weight due to stopping being active and processed sweets😅 + my non-bio dad has been diagnosed with t2 ( he is in his 70s). It's like a few weeks I check it and today it's the first time I am that low (usually 100-106mg at the 8th hour mark)

Great videos. From what I understand is that the CGM are about 15-20 mins behind what you would read in the blood glucose monitor. I think it has something to do with it measuring glucose in the tissue vs the blood. Again, thanks for the videos.

I just subscribed because my story is almost exactly like yours, except I have one child that’s now 21. I think I’ve been insulin resistant for years, but my eating habits have improved so much over the last 8-10 years that its been “under control” of sorts. I recently got the libre 3 and so far its been matching my GC meter, and it’s saving me a ton of money in the glucoses sticks. The first day the CGM was a little whack, but it settled down pretty quickly… I’m a whole food plant based vegan and refuse to eat “carnivore” or keto that requires animal sacrifice; like you said, it’s too restrictive (I did it 15 years ago for a short time), it’s bad for the planet and for the animals. My mother did it to try and reverse her type 2 (it runs in the family) and ended up with 2 heart attacks and a quintuple bypass, then a post-surgery stroke. My grandfather died from diabetic complications, my biological father did too (age 58!). Like you, I had a hard time getting pregnant, unreliable periods, cystic acne but no doctor ever took me seriously or cared, but I’m older. Maybe they understand it better now, idk. I’m post menopausal now, so the acne is finally gone 😂. I can tell you I went through menopause FAST… like, my period (which was never regular) left and just never returned. The next year the hot flashes started, but only lasted a few years. Now I only get one on occasion, usually at night as strangely enough, they correspond with my BG rising in the AM - between 3 and 5AM specifically. Anyway, the libre 3 shows an estimated A1c of 6, which is solid pre diabetic, I’m not overweight and I exercise. I’m horrified and so grateful I decided to get the CGM. I’ve been eating mostly low carb vegetables, tofu, some beans (edamame, green beans), etc. Very little fats and oils, and my numbers are great so far. I haven’t had “real” carbs like bread in days so your sourdough experiment was interesting (I live in Italy, the home of carbs! Help!) I almost get the feeling that I’ve been pre diabetic for so long, that I’m basically a diabetic, it’s just not as big of numbers as they report. I’m a mini-diabetic 😅 My cholesterol is great (all well within range), etc. I have no idea what’s going on, but the data is coming in, and then I’m taking it to my primary doctor. I don’t want to be put on metformin, because it will artificially manipulate my BG numbers, and I want to see what’s really going on so I can progress. I’ll be combing through your videos to see what you’ve been doing, and hopefully figure something out. So far you have some good insights I really feel some of us were just born with poop genetics, in some areas

good work you are doing, keep motivated. Love and Respect from Pakistan

My hba1c on 10th dec, 2022 was 5.4%. I eat no grains, sugar or fruits. I eat only veggies, greens, eggs, yogurt, nuts, almond/coconut milk. ...i use freestyle libre and achieved remission for the past 1 year 1 month..

Interesting journey… I wonder how your A1c numbers will be when you are done nursing your youngest. At least you will have some results around March. Keep us posted and good luck with the single parenting!

I understand what you're going through. My latest "experiment". On myself has been to attempt one more time Vegetarian/Vegan. (Mastering Diabetes/Reverse diabetes or pre diabetes) I understand that is not sustainable for your lifestyle like you mentioned. I just recently went from 5.7 down to 5.6 a1c. I'm am now following the 21 day vegan kickstart(Free app on Google play) and use a finger stick since the libre tends to be 15-20 points higher or even lower. I'm eating a lot of fruits veggies, oatmeal,tofu,Tempe, beans,sweet potato VERY low fat and low salt. Small amount of nuts and seeds. I'm SO surprised that my glucose never goes above 126! Even with grapes,apple,banana. I'm attempting to eat some Ezekiel sourdough bread next week with no oil using hummus or a little avocado toast not too much and veggies. I have been eating quinoa salads and glucose is stable! No butter, no oils, or very little when air frying sweet potatoes. I've mentioned previously trying the Starch Solution but I think starting with tons of potatoes,rice,pasta was not the way for me to go yet. I might have consumed too much natural fat sources like maybe too many nuts and seeds. Another weakness for me. Check out the free app it has great recipe ideas as well as videos for each day. I too have been on and off keto for several years and fear that might be the source of my insulin resistance? Well people out there believe it causes pre diabetes. BUT since going High Carb Low fat I'm finally sleeping better! Doing keto caused me to wake up between 2-4 or 3-5 am! Well keep up your videos. I look forward to your next one. No reply necessary I know how busy you are juggling everything.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. God bless you 🙏.

I admire you for telling us about your journey. I know how frustrating it can be when the numbers go all over the place. Type 1 & type 2 runs in my family and I already have Hypertension and I don’t want to add type 2 to that list as well. Like you I don’t fit the profile. I’m thin I exercise and do my best to eat right. Like I told you I had an eating disorder back in my early 20’s I thought KETO would prevent me from ever having type 2. I went KETO for 2 1/2 years and had to stop a few months ago because during those 2 years I felt TERRIBLE. Bringing carbs back and watching my numbers go all over the place was pretty scary for me but I knew I had to push through that fear or else this would turn into another eating disorder. Unfortunately I’m in therapy because I still have fear of eating certain hi carb food where before I went KETO I was fine eating ANYTHING!! Stupid KETO diet. I would never recommend that diet to anyone. Hopefully this therapist will help and I’ll be free of fear eating carbs. I think you’re doing great trying to find a balance that works for you! Keep doing what your doing. From someone who understands you, GIRL YOU GOT THIS!! 🎉

Have you tried intermittent fasting? I have been doing it on and off because my fasting blood sugars are higher. I don't get blood work done often enough to know if it's making a difference but read it's so effective

Very interesting video! 👍

Kelly Hogan (carnivore) cut back on protein and eat a lot more fat. Her A1c dropped below 5. It's the fat. Check out Dr. Elizabeth Bright on Kelly's youtube channel.

Very inspiring video dear. Have a question though, is it really true that agave nectar is a low glycemic sweetner?

You are awesome

No, I don't think you are eating too much or sugary stuff. It's a challenge to find the balance.

Ok, what is your fasting insulin then? I'm also IR with fasting insulin of around 9-10 despite the decent A1C of 5.3.

hi! can you please tell us how did you get pregnant while you are insulin resistant and have PCOS. i am having a hard time to conceive because of the same situation. i hope you'll notice this. thank you!

Regarding the trigger warning for the numbers you presented, I don't understand. Is the warning because some viewers might be too upset??

Hi did you get diabetes while you were pregnant with your second son? Thank you!

Chill Darling you are super ..

Your periods are regular now??

How did you get pregnant with insulin resistance?? Naturally or with medications? Our story is quite similar. Irregular periods since my first periods, lean and insulin resistance. Not ovulating regularly and i am on clomid which did not work in first cycle. 🥺
