Hi Tom! I am very happy I found your videos! Incredible achievement what you did! My question is how do you manage to be around HbA1c of 6 without too many hypos? After years and quite some changes in my habits and with lots of efforts I have also good values now but I have too many hypos...I know is very complex and many factors need to be considered but...in your case what you reco? Super thanks I will be following from now💪👍

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "what is a healthy blood sugar level for a woman?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Anebriel Foundational Ascendancy - (search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to reverse type 2 diabetes minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

This man speaks wise words, my a1c went from 8.5 to 5.4 in 3 months and lost 40lbs doing just half of what this video recommends. Diabetes is Futher Mucker, but whoever reads this, Your not alone in this. You can do this. All it takes is self motivation,dedication,moderation. And you'll get through this. I wish all improving health on all who read this on their travels through life.

That's Amazing! Good for you 👍

Good for you, young man. At age 64, I have been on this journey for a few months now and feel 200% healthier already. But, I want to encourage all young people out there to begin this lifestyle while you are young and can protect your body and mind from the stress caused by poor diet decisions. (I would love to see the junk food thrown out of our markets; it is a tragedy what it is doing to the general health of the present generations.) I love to see you educating yourselves as well as others creating a support group to maintain your health.

Good information especially with setting realistic goals. I have been a type 1 for 40 years. I have had many ups and downs dealing with it as I want to live as "Normal" a life as anyone else and have found that I can as long as I remember what my Doctor told me when this journey began. MODERATION is the key! Eat wisely, exercise daily and check your blood levels often. For years I kept my a1c between 7-8 and ever since I got a CGM I have been a steady a1c 6. Not bad for a guy in his mid 60's. I look at diabetes as a CHALLENGE instead of a disability. With the help of my Wife, who is my greatest support, We try to stay ahead of it everyday!

I was super strick with my diet for 38 years. When I got my insulin pump life was so much easier and more fun. When I hear people say low carb I just roll my eyes. I eat mostly carbs, good and bad. You just have to know how to use your insulin pump. My HgbA1C just went from 6.1 to 5.9 using Libre2. I guess if you can't control you blood sugars using your pump then low carb will work.

I started on the freestyle libre last week. I have always had dawn phenomenon issues, but my biggest issue now is it takes like 5-6 hours for my humalog to bring my blood sugar back down to a normal level in the morning. I am not on a pump so I can't schedule a bolus/higher basal rate for the late night/early morning. Thinking about splitting my long lasting insulin shot (toujeo) between morning and night as I usually take it in the morning, or switching to taking it at night. I am always in the 8's for my a1c and really want to get it at least in the 7's next doctor visit. Didn't realize how much up and down my blood sugar goes through until getting libre.

This guy is funny and alot of good information is delivered , thanks

Good morning brother. Excellent information. Thank you so much brother.

Very good video and thank you for sharing your tips. God bless you always 🙏

I'm 35 and 3 years ago I was diagnosed me as type 1, my A1c is 6.3 my tips are 1) gym as daily routine, I'm not a gym guy but it has changed my diabetic career, without the gym I would still piss my self thanks you for being honest here :) as well talking about the gym I mean go there and do your best don't lie your self, if you really don't like it, just don't stay at gym too long get sweat and go home :) 2) I'm completely agreed with all that you said about the food however following point 1 you don't have to be even so strict about the food, Mc Donald, KFC sometimes is ok but I would take more insulin before the meal (make sure you control your sugar levels in the right way Free style, MM ) 3) technology like Free Style, MM, watch displaying your sugar level and everything what keep your sugar under control and help you to understand and manage your lifestyle in the right way 4) if you like to have a drink sometimes, don't drink without the pillow I mean have a meal before, avoid beer, cyder any sweet alcohols, I would go for nice dry wine or whisky or vodka mixed with lemon and water remember to keep eye on your sugar 5) be positive and keep smile on your face because you can be even better than most of your friends just doing right things :) I know all this stuff it's easy to say not that easy to implement in real life but believe me following this tips one day you can forget about your problems :))

Thanks for talking about this. Whether you are Type 1 or 2, or you are not just a helpless victim of your diabetes and you can always try a lot of different strategies to lower your A1c. Everyone can work on something and make incremental changes that will make you less dependent on insulin or stay off it if you're lucky. I wish more doctors would make suggestions on the lifestyle aspect. And dump that ADA diet guaranteed to leave you sick, but that's a whole other story... First and foremost, you will improve your insulin resistance with enough sleep and better quality sleep. This is even true for non-diabetics struggling to lose weight. You can lower your blood sugar a lot (and your blood pressure!) just by walking 15-30 minutes after every meal. And this is something I struggle a lot with, but exercise and/or diet enough to get your body fat in the ideal range. I've lost over 1/3 of my body weight before (from 185 to 124 lb), simply by walking alone, no other exercise. I am still struggling to enjoy any other exercise enough to do it regularly but I'm trying to get into more muscle-building exercise as that would help me to keep the weight off better (my weight has drifted back up some and I'm trying to lose again). And of course by diet. I have tried a lot of different diets, but what seems to work for me in the long term is moderate low carb (like aiming for around 70g/day), eating 2 meals per day, no snacks, with intermittent fasting. I try to mostly eat foods that would fit into Paleo but I do sometimes eat other less healthy things. I generally eat within a 8 hour window, and then I have Non-24 circadian rhythm disorder so my day is 27-36 hours long generally, giving me a lot of hours with no food. I am a Type 2 diabetic whose sugar is almost never low, only high. No insulin. I've been diabetic for over 20 years. I have gotten my A1c to 6 before but it's been drifting up along with my weight. If I can keep my weight near or within the ideal range, and stick to the healthy diet and walking then my A1c will stay around 7 or below, but I have found it challenging not to backslide on carbs. I have a great love for noodles in particular. Really low carb (30g/day or less) triggers my depression, unfortunately. But I will sometimes try to do a keto week here and there. Or a week with more extreme fasting.

I haven't been tested for my a1c levels lately (I'm a type 2) but I know now that stress, especially emotional stress, pushes me out of reversal. That's when I need to take medication again and pay attention to what I eat and do. I usually eat low carb and go for walks, but when I am too busy to cook and go to parties, where I don't have low carb options, it gets worse. Not eating enough is as bad as eating the wrong foods.There are ways to eat carbs, so that they don't spike you and I'm learning about that now.

I believe in the “balls out” approach. Write down everything you’re eating that spikes your blood sugar, then totally eliminate them from your diet. I had already eliminated most bread from my diet, except for on occasion when dining out. I’ve now eliminated it entirely, after my A1c went over 6.5. I eliminated tortilla chips, white rice, sweet potatoes (I had already given up white potatoes- sweet potatoes aren’t much better). I gave up drinks that contained sugar (I gave up sugary sodas many years ago), all items with “added sugar,” desserts which I ate very infrequently and even those little sugary breath mints they hand out when you leave restaurants. I already exercised almost daily, but I am now trying to lift more and build more muscle, plus lose 50 more pounds . It’s working. I’m down about 10 pounds from when I was first diagnosed.

Thank you so much for information

Perfect, I'm from 15 to 7... very good video!

I think CGM is the key. Without it, tight control is a pipe dream even with intense effort. But once you know your glucose minute by minute, even the most ambitious goals are attainable depending only on the amount of effort you’re willing to expend.

I love your videos. Great advice. I am also a type 1 diabetic and I struggle with keeping my BG' S Steady and in the normal range. I also have food allergies which I think contributes to my high BG Numbers. I am now keeping a food journal writing down everything I eat at mealtimes and healthy snacks, and recording how my body responds by checking BG levels before and after meals. That gives me a better picture of whats going on. I am also going to be asking my endo doctor to run blood work on my levels for enzymes, amino acids, vitamin and mineral levels as well. I discovered that plays a huge roll in how healthy your body is or is not in order to have and keep normal blood sugars.

Pre diabetic to type 2 happened over the course of years. Taking glimepiride and have changed diet drastically and walk a lot more.

I have got a very good tip for reducing HBA1C quickly: Do not sit after eating. Always move a bit and when you feel the food is properly downed, only then get back to work or bed/TV. You will feel much better within a few days. Also lower consuming foods with high GI (glycemic index). i.e. foods with fast acting simple sugars. Like sugar itself, the refined stuff, soft drinks, juices, bakery items, fried items, frozen foods, fast food etc. They are now a poison for your body. Please take this statement seriously, because the sugar sticks to blood for up to 90 days (3 months), until the cells destroy themselves and form new ones. So only after a constant 3-4 month avoidance, you will get noticeable improvement in your HBA1c test result. Otherwise say goodbye to improving it. I mean it takes strict diet control to lower HBA1C, it just keeps pushing UP if you will not take immediate steps, it's like a landslide that keeps falling and cannot be stopped once it takes off - MEANS - your body has given up and it has very little room to have the junk (your kidneys or liver or pancreas or all of them has something seriously damaged to them inside and they are just gonna FAIL SOON if steps are not immediately taken). So - only 1 soft drink per week is the limit.

Hello everyone. I’m new diabetic. Just released from hospital 2 days ago lol. My A1C was 11%. My question for anyone who sees this does having an 11% mean it will be difficult to drop it to %6 or 120ish. Even with my insulin and I seem to have a bit of a hard time and I downloaded the diabetic app. My fear is having my blood sugar over 200 for 3-5 months won’t that do crazy damage to my body while I wait for my next a1c test?

My personal tips: Wait before meal - inject some time (may be different by every person) before eating. Have a good night - try to get good levels during the night Reduce meals - no meals = no fluctuations and easier to control (keep eating at least 2 times a day) use pump - much more opportunities, especially the basal change and squared bolus use cgm - and set alarm to catch highs soon enough (and learn from your trend) use diy loop - to get even more good levels without big waivers.

Pros: -(Talking about DIY-Loop) There's a huge community that will help you -DIY Loop Apps are very stable - I didn't heard about people getting into serious problems -The big advantage about looping is, that it manages your diabetes in situation you can't or don't want to like sleeping, watching movies, during work etc.. As far as I heard, loop is managing those stuff amazing (depends on the quality of your Settings and factors). -Less lows and more time in range because of the auto basal management -It can handle 1 and maybe even 2 carb units without going out of range without manually insulin injection -> good for low carb people -With nightscout (wich is part of the DIY Loop scene), you'll have a great analysis tool Cons: -Loop isn't a perfect Pancreas - It's mainly thought for the Basal management. You still have to adjust manually when you do sports, eat a bigger meal or stuff like that. -You need a CGM system (or FGM - CGM solution like MiaoMiao..) -Commercial Loops aren't that good as DIY solutions, because of legal restrictions (they're more defensive) -You need to build and set up all by yourself (There are good docs and a lot of people that are willing to help you online) -> This isn't a big problem, it's not that hard -You have to know and test all your factors pretty good (ISF, BR, CR, DIA) -You will need to take your phone with you - if not, your pancreas isn't there. Same with the battery. -For proper work, you should type in every bigger activity and treatment.

Thank you for such detailed info. I wish you all the best with looping when you start! I myself haven’t found the courage to go all in on this but I’ve been hearing very positive feedback. I hope this is the future of the commercial systems too and it is just a matter of time. Take care and keep in touch!

@@TypeOneTalks I'm now on AndroidAPS (loop) for about 1 month - and I'm totally excited about it. It really helps keeping your blood sugar stable - especial during periods of slow changes (during the night, while driving or watching a movie). My A1C definetiely dropped with androidaps and I can sleep within range (4-8mmols) without getting disturbed once a night wich is the biggest pro, I experienced. A second nice to have is, I can get into my bed with high values and AndroidAPS will bring them down.

Is this possible to have excellent hba1c if you continously having high morning values? I have type 2 and have been struggling to manage morning values.

Hi Ammara. It is possible but it is not ideal. You should probably talk to your doctor about ways how you can eliminate (or reduce) the extent of morning highs. Hope this helps! Happy holidays!

@Ammara, Tom is right. I have have normal A1C and would also add it is normal to have a “higher” blood sugar upon waking since that’s our body’s response to the cocktail it uses to wake us up and getting us going. Look up “dawn effect”. However how high is acceptable would be between you and your doctor. For me, 30 minutes after waking my blood glucose had been around 110 mg/dL. Over time is has since dropped to 85-90. I stopped having dinner late reduced my number of carbs at dinner according to how I felt.

thank you

I'm concerned. I've been keto/carnivore for 6 months. All my blood lab markers are good (BP110/70) but my A1c is 6.0. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍

I did carnivore for about 4-5 months. (well about 80% carnivore). My cholesterol, Triglycerides and sugar went up. Not sure why or how but i'm done with that diet. Everyones body is different.

Very good approach

My A1c used to be 5.6-6.0% ~1 year after my diagnosis. However I realised that I ate alot of "toxic" carbs lately that would explain why my A1c went to 6.3(and probably higher now) great video I'll try to reduce the toxic carbs thanks!

Hello Sir, I am prediabetic, and my HbA1c is 6.2. It has been around this range from last 15to 20 years. I am about 10 kgs overweight, due to which my HbA1c is not lessening. I also have hypothyroidism due to which it is very difficult for me to lose weight, even with dieting and exercising regularly. What tips can you suggest for me to help lower my HbA1c to about 5.6? Thank you for your kind reply.

He has already given tips. Eat only twice a day. Cut down carbs and eat more vegetables and protein Exercise

Trying to remove man made carbs, potatoes and rice from diet. Went from a 7.6 to 6.5. freestyle libre didn't work good for me, was 50-200 points off

Thanks

Please share your secret,🙏 🙏 🙏 .

Substitute Metformin for berberine, reduce my carbs, intermediate fasting, ACV, cinnamon, curcumin, raw garlic. When I do have a high carb meal, I prepare 1/2 cup of water add 1/3 spoon of baking soda and squeeze 1/2 of lime (mix with 1/2 cup of water) and drink it. This will reduce the inflammation in my system. I did this and in a short time I got to reduce my A1C from 6.7 to 6.2👍

Thank you The tip I think that will help me most at this time in my life stop drinking the sugar drinks that is my first goal
