It’s hard to watch this and not be saddened by the current medical approach to treating diabetes. Jane’s courageous presentation was beautifully and sincerely given and it was inspirational to watch.

Jane, thank you for sharing your story… mine is very similar. I was type 2. I followed all my instructions given to me by my medical team, went to all my diabetic meetings, ate all the ‘right’ food they told me to eat….. years later, I was obese, sick and dying …..and facing blindness! My pancreas became ‘burnt out’ and I am now a type 1. You are right … why do all the white coats tell us to eat carbohydrates when they know that is the problem!! Low Carb / Keto diet saved my life…. Thank you to all the doctors and people like yourself who are supporting this diet and speaking out about it.

Thanks for telling us your story. I am Type 2 (for 30 years) who uses insulin. I know your fight with diabetes has been much harder than mine. God bless you. Self education is crucial for any diabetic. The tools are available. Controlling blood sugar is critical. We must give up a lot to do it, but you have shown that it can be done. I think Dr. Bernstein's book is a must for diabetics.

Have you had a c-peptide test done so you know where you stand regarding your remaining ability to make insulin?

Thankyou! In the start of my low carb journey as type 1 for 34 years and wow what a difference it has made already to my a1c! After 2 months! Thankyou!!!

Your story parallels mine. I’ve seen the same results. My A1C has come down from 6.8 to 5.3 in six months. Many other improvements like you. Every diabetic needs to hear this information .

👍👍👍👍👍 This video is full of what can be. Instead of what is.

Thank you for sharing your story Jane. I'm glad that you have been able to manage your condition better using diet and technology. I was very surprised and very happy that I was able to reverse my T2 diabetes in less than 3 months. And I am also very thankful for the free information that is readily available on the internet so we can make informed decisions about our health. I was diagnosed in October 2021 and started eating low carb. I kept a food diary and saw a dietician (who also works in a major hospital) and she told me that I wasn't eating enough carbs. I told her that I would do more research and decided to return. But I did send her my 3 month blood test results! My doctor also wanted to start me on metformin and a statin. I said that you don't change more than one thing at a time. If I had done that and diet had worked, the medical profession would have assumed that it was the drug/s that had done it. Recently I saw a different GP who wants me on a statin (my LDL has gone up but all other results are great - I'm not concerned) and I told her that it can worsen/cause diabetes. She said oh there is new research coming out finding that statins help with diabetes. My thought was, okay so what are we supposed to believe.

A recent paper: "Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality associated with individual and combined cardiometabolic risk factors", pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37670287/ , a study of 22,596 patients, found that higher than normal LDL cholesterol of itself is not a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The paper is heavy going, but see page 5: "We failed to detect a significant association between high LDL-C and the risk of CVD". Also in Fig. 1, page 6, shows people with high LDL-C having a similar CVD risk as the 'control' population that had none of the study risk factors, and those having diabetes and LDL-C (and no hypertension) had a slightly *lower* incidence of CVD than those without the studied risk factors. Sorry about the technical language, but this is important research for LCHF diets.

Thank you, it's fantastic to see your results. It's unbelievable that type one diabetics aren't given this information.

If I can't metabolize carbohydrate, why should it be the basis of my diet? Sometimes medicine is a logic-free zone. Glad it's working for you!

Very nice to bring the personal aspect to the convention. I appreciated how she showed the clear path of successful living as a type 1 while giving us the perspective of her much better life as compared to the tragidy of family member who did not have the advantage of the public knowledge Low Carb Down Under provides.

Hi Jane, thanks for sharing your experience. Getting to meet you and hear your story personally at LCDU about 4 years ago resulted in me passing on your info and strategies to another T1 diabetic which benefited from them immensely... no doubt you saved that individual from terrible complications! Thank you so much for sharing you story, truly inspirational! Very touched by your brothers struggle - I think the medical profession could learn a lot from his experience - once you get the basic sciences of metbolism and diet wrong, patients will no doubt suffer. Well informed, like-minded patients and clinicians can change this if we work together ❤️

I am so very very happy fir you!! Thank you for sharing🥰 I work as an administrator in a hospital, and am so so disheartened for the patients continuing to battle their chronic illnesses, while i cant but try and share my belief in this science to the specialists and doctors who are awate of it, but reply.... There hasn't been enough trials or proof yet for them to change their treatment protocols . They know but of course are governed from higher levels. So so so heartbreaking

This talk was both sad AND encouraging, thank you.

Moved to tears. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful story Jane. So glad you’re doing well on low carb. Astounds me too that the majority of drs etc still don’t know the benefits of low carb

I did this for 20 years 😢I feel your pain

Thank you Lady for your heartwarming report!

A tremendous presentation! So uplifting and yet so troublesome, too, for the obvious failures of the medical profession.

Really great talk, Jane! I recognised everything you're speaking about in myself when I went low carb for T1. Wish I could have been at the conference in person.

Thank God for these Wise Doctors that continue to against the mainstream medical industry. Appreciate there Teachings.

I love Low carb down under videos too. Especially yours ❤ Thank you for your story.

Good on you, thanks for sharing!

Dr. Bernstein, if the medical establishment has any honor or credibility, will be hailed in a few years as the most important diabetes researcher ever. He might actually still be alive to receive their apology, too. He seems to be going strong at 84.

I’m so sorry 😞 for your loss

Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your story. I'm type 2, and find it very helpful and motivating to hear success stories.

I love this testimonial

Thank you 🙂

thanks for sharing, I am so glad for Jane

Thank you for sharing this story. Jane, I am glad you are getting such good numbers.

Thanks for sharing. We really are setup to fail in terms of diet and in other areas of life unless we can get to stage of beginning to question authority and crucially, taking action. Congratulations for doing just that! Also, may your brother Greg rest in peace.

Jane, I was so sorry to hear about your brother, and very glad that you have mastered this terrible condition. Whenever anyone wonders why the medical profession gives what appears to be misleading advice, I always think - follow the money. After all, there would be no money in it for them if we were healthy.

I like the science. But love the personal stories. Like to see more.

My heart goes out to you, and yours, for everything you've been through, but I'm very thankful you've shared your story. I'm in a somewhat similar boat as I went through the Whipple Procedure six years ago (half my pancreas, lower stomach, and gall bladder removed) and I'm a "surgically induced diabetic"; injecting insulin, etc. I was also told to get upwards of 60% of my calories from carbs and to be on a low fat diet. Just take more insulin, if you need to. It's natural (this from the doctor that literally wrote the book on diabetes at a highly respected U.S. university). That didn't work out so well and trying to keep my glucose in check was a maddening game of "way too high, way too low". It was only after being exposed to the low carb approach that I've managed to keep myself fairly well in check (current A1C is 5.2). It really is more of a guessing game, learning to feel the right amounts of things, because of so many variables, that makes diabetes management so difficult. It is made much worse because the experts/authorities are still promoting a high carb, highly processed food diet, with lots of seed oils. Voices like yours will help to make a huge difference!

A powerful story, thanks for sharing it.

thank you Jane; for this important info and your experience offers so much to learn from. I've recently learned there's more late onset now in adulthood and more T2 in childhood - over all I've seen very little options for treatment which includes food management with low carb diets. best wishes & special thx for the emotional/ mental descriptions; essential to address

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I can absolutely confirm myself what you experienced before and after switching to Dr. Bernstein's method!

This is inspirational

Great story! Thanks for sharing. Low carb has helped my T1D significantly! It's unfortunate that the medical community is not fully on board with low carb for T1D management. Like you I had to go about it on my own.

This is so powerful of a story! I love it.

How awful! I can’t even imagine! Wishing you the very best! I love low carb too - it’s truly life changing!

Good for you Jane

So pleased this helped you so much👍😊.

thank you for sharing your story!

Well done Jane!

Keep up the good work! You'll probably just keep getting better.

Congratulations, Jane. A victory for personal intelligence over unintelligent medical advice. I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. It takes real courage to talk about it in public.

Thank you Jane, very much appreciated hearing real life experience from a real person. I've also made so many changes since finding this channel and all of its 'conspiracy theories' ! Well done

Thank you ❤

Hi, I have listened to your stories from Europe. Thank you for informing us. I would have some questions to you If it is possible. Greta

The same thing happened to my brother. 51 years old and died on his favorite holiday July 4th.

6:51 'Why do doctors tell diabetics to eat what they want of the carbohydrates that make them sick?'

very inspiring

Wonderful story, Jane. Have you considered taking it even further with a zero carb approach?

Well done Jane! Shame on most doctors!

wow the story of your brother 😢 hand sharpened needles 💔

I have recently learnt that cooked and cooled carbs, such as rice and potatoes, lose half their carb content, even when reheated.

I don't understand why this isn't standard training for all doctors. It can only be down to the money being raked in by the drug companies. Why can't the doctors see this?

Thank you. So we’ll presented. I see no change in advice in my hospital. There is more choice in insulins, to be up to date with, nil change in dietary management in professional updates that I have noticed. Registration of health professionals now includes warning against communicating misinformation. The described legal issues that ensued for surgeon,Dr Gary Fettke, in Tasmania, for advising Diabetics about real food for improved quality of life and surgical outcomes shows why one keeps quiet. My personal experience is there has been a growing loud SILENCE - due to ‘Enforced Consensus’ - about multiple Health concerns, well, well before 2020. It has grown more silent. Hope:- despite this many other improvements still happen. Good things still happen. LCDU has been psychologically a joy to see / hear. To open up discussion / investigations into health issues - for potentially better management strategies for consumers. Not dumbed down, either. THANK YOU Jane for doing this presentation! All the best to you and your family.

RIP Greg, Glad this isn't your fete Jane.

People need to understand, healthy humans do not create profit for the Healthcare Industrial Complex!

what is normal units of lantus - type 2 total insulin dependent - need advice - on keto - weight down 25kgs, HBA1C 7.6, and insulin down from 140 units daily to 8 units but blood glucose in the 6-8 mmol/l (106 - 145 mg/dl) daily range. I would like to get them a little lower - 3 options /1. raise lantus to 10 or 12 units / 2. take 1-2 units humalog in the morning / 3. start retaking forixga - which is better , also how many units of lantus is normal, as I have seen some comments that type 1 take as low as 6 units a day and top up with humalog ?

U can display what you are speaking it's free for others to understand.

Thanks for sharing! Keep in mind HbA1C can be higher due to red blood cells living longer.

Or lower

Is the reason low carb is not ''prescribed'' for diabetes because some wont/can't stick to the regime or is it perhaps because of ,at best laziness by GPs , or that the medical profession is controlled and dictated to by big pharma. ? Less medication given less profit.

May I respectfully present another perspective: Low carb sounds like a good idea for T1D as the pancreas has stopped producing insulin. A low carb diet will reduce the amount of injectable insulin required, reduce dosage error, and thus improve diabetes control and health. (The high fat diet may increase cardio vascular and cancer rates though). But T2D is due to insulin resistance occasioned by fat blocking the entrance pathway into muscle cells. So a low fat high carb diet is the solution here, and does not come with the risk of a high fat diet.

😂😂😂

Best diet for type 1 and 2 is high carb low fat diet. No animal products
