I’ve had Diabetes type 1 since I was 14, I’m 47 now and I haven’t had any issues. But I will say this, these doctors don’t care about you and only care about what medicine they can put you on. As a diabetic you have to take care of yourself and constantly monitor your sugar level, watch what you eat and exercise for the rest of your life! I hate it but it is what it is

This is very true. I've been type 1 since age 10 and 40 now. Exercise everyday and I have to eat very healthy always and manage stress. I've known type 1 diabetics that didn't do this and sadly they have all died or lost kidney function. Don't trust the doctors, prevention is living healthy, there is no pill that will replace this. You will regret trusting a pill pushing doctor with their "preventive" diabetes drugs from big pharma.

Great advice for people with T1D and T2D!

Sorry to hear that. I’m glad you’re doing research and watching videos to learn ways to treat the disease. Remember diet and exercise is very important!

Having had type 1 for over 30 years, I have never been advised by any medical professional that actual nutrition is important, I think this is because there is always an effort to make the patient feel as if they can have as normal a life as possible? And thus to be encouraging. Its a lot to expect of someone to give up eating the way they normally would. That said, I have been adapting my own diet similarly, but find I am frustrated by a lot of variables, as were mentioned in the talk. For example, I have found I have some bad injection sites, I have sick days, I have a ton of stress related to work and family. Also I suffer from a lot of depression and general fatigue from this cognitive burden of worrying 24/7 about my blood sugars and/or am I developing complications. Its a scary rollercoaster for me, but I am glad to hear this talk, thank you.

Its an interesting talk for sure and should serve as inspiration for all type one diabetics to eat better and take the least amount of insulin possible, but I agree with you on the variables aspect of managing glucose being endless. He mentions factors in calculating for a bolus injection, I wish I could get his insight on managing these things specifically, especially exercise(as dude is jacked) which is very tough to maintain stable sugars during/after. Least amount of insulin = safest, least stressful life as possible.

I am type 1 diabetic . At age 20 , I was diagnosed. My blood glucose level was on a rollercoaster even with insulin therapy. Now it is in steady level due to some lifestyle change. I eat only 2 times as main meal time and foods are of generally medium glycemic index at that time. And other times I will consume food high in potassium so that I don't crave sugar and carbohydrate rich food. Also I add egg to my diet so that I don't overeat. I do a post meal walk if I am at my home. I exercise at morning and evening. I always maintain 3 hrs gap between meal and bedtime and always sleep for 7.5 hrs. So nowdays no spike sudden! Ofcourse I need insulin but 6 units less than prescribed (per day) and I don't feel low on mood nowadays.

I’ve given up 80% of most foods I used to eat but I feel MUCH better, and more in control.

I end up there just via math. We have to calculate carb to insulin for meals. There is always going to be a percentage of error either from guessing the carb count in the meal or just minor imprecision in carb to insulin ratio. So low carbs equals small numbers and the same percentage of error is a smaller error over all. So yeah, we CAN eat carbs but for me, smaller amounts of carbs are easier to manage.

I've been type 1 diabetic since the age of 01, and now I'm 20 years old. It's not easy being a diabetic because I need insulin to take, and to keep it from getting higher than they are. The insulin prices are much higher than they ever had been before.

Love this video your story is 100% Relatable 💯

so glad we live in a time where pumps, glucose monitors, and google exists. I was also diagnosed at 16, however that was just over 3 years ago. i went through a very depressive period where i was doing drugs and also not giving myself insulin because i thought it was a death sentence. there needs to be more positivity in the education of type one diabetes, instead of making it seem like your whole word is going to change- which it does, however the transition does not have to be as hard as doctors and educators make it.

I’ve been doing keto and intermittent fasting and even Omad, my insulin needs have gone down tremendously, both basal and bolus besides this obvious benefit there are so many other health and cosmetic benefits to doing these. I urge you to look into both if your a T1D, we and our families need us around healthy

This is one of the most important medical videos out there imo. On a side note, anybody who has a soda craving may like an all natural sugar free alternative called bobelo. It's a self carbonating powder you put in your own bottle. We love it. It has electrolytes such as potassium which can also help reduce cravings.

Great work. This whole time I've been doing keto I didn't even realize there was a community of T1D's that use the keto or low carb diet. Finally something i can use to back up my arguements with my endo lol.

As a type 2, a ketogenic diet and fasting have saved my life and reversed this condition for me. Doctors don’t recommend this for type 1 or 2 partly because they continue to practice an outdated mantra to treat diabetes and partly because they are worried about potential law suits from a low carb diet that can result in low blood sugars or in type 1, ketoacidosis This is a direct result of lack of education and research on the doctors part for not understanding the role of nutrition and the therapeutic benefits of a ketogenic diet.

Before there was any injectable insulin, people with diabetes were just simply left to die or given harsh diets that were near zero carb bit also well under 1,000 calories a day with many dying of DKA anyway or starvation because of so little food. Now, it should be better understood than 100 years ago when Banting and Best were giving the first insulin injections to people with type 1 diabetes. You need to eat enough food but also keep blood sugar in check. Not always so easy. Many type 1 and type 2 have had good results steadying their blood sugar and requiring less insulin or other medications by reducing carbohydrate intake.

Most people that are non diabetic think that the low carb diet is crazy and not normal. Actually the diet I follow is low carb and doesn't include the carbs. It is quite fulfilling and satisfying. I don't miss the high carb choices. As I am human, I do have a craving once in a while for a higher carb item. I satisfy myself with a small slice of 85 to 90% bite of dark chocolate from a candy bar. Not much sugar but lots of flavor and it is satisfying.

When I was diagnosed in 2014, I stuck to a low carb diet for a year and a half.

Granted I was told I was experiencing a “honey moon phase” but didn’t quite tell my endo I was eating virtually no carbs. After this year and a half I started gassing out. I became fed up with restricting myself, and was never truly satisfied after a meal. While I do believe low carb works, I don’t think it’s sustainable in the long run.

T1 Diabetics should realize that food is simply an energy source. Nothing more. The tradeoffs between eating everything you'd like to eat and eating only what you should are simply not worth it - at least to me. I am healthier and more fit at the age of 49 than any non-diabetic I've met. This diet is sustainable. Do I sometimes wish I could have a burger or pizza? Sure, but the tradeoffs are not worth it to me.

Yes its very confusing as we are always being told different things, especially with diet in general. The low carb diet will give you good blood sugar control that’s for sure but the fats (saturated) and meat can increase insulin resistance, cholesterol and other stuff putting you at risk of the problems t1 diabetics are already more susceptible to as mentioned.

@ma_nu

3 жыл бұрын

you are more susceptible to CVD (and many other diseases) as t1 diabetics due to the high blood sugars. If you can control your sugar and have values like a healthy person (as many on keto are able) with a hba1c 4-5%, you don't have a higher risk anymore. And a higher hba1c is THE most dominant risk factor - you can have 10 times higher risk for CVD. So it's more than worth to have a little bit more cholesterol and insulin resistance if you can have normal blood sugars on the keto diet and therefore cancel that risk factor!

In my opinion the biggest part of eating low carb is reducing your short term risk, as you are well aware, insulin is dangerous and its effectiveness is volatile depending on many factors... Less insulin means less chance for dangerous low. People seem to downplay the risk of insulin, you can always take a little bit more in 2-3 hours if your dose was not correct, you can't take away insulin you have injected. If your eating meals with low/no carbohydrates, your BG will move less, so its inherently easier overall, with less risk.

@@coupeL0VE Yes, I totally agree. You remove the roller coaster effect of insulin, that some have on a moderate to high carb diet while on insulin.

I turned to a similar strategy after I got my first CGM. My reasoning was a bit different, though. For me, it was more a matter of simplifying things as much as possible. I keep my carb intake low, but another thing I do that isn't mentioned in this video is to also use intermittent fasting. If I only eat within an 8-hour window of the day and my basal insulin levels are where they need to be, I don't need nearly as many correctional bolus dosages. Fewer corrections and fewer bolus insulin dosages mean more stability and fewer educated guess, which always carry a chance of being off the mark. I don't aim for HBA1C levels as low as the speaker in the video, but I've been between 5 and 5.5 for over 3yrs, while also keeping my BG levels within the target range over 85% of the time. I don't aim to have my HBA1C lower, because the lower my BG averages, the more frequently I'd be approaching hypoglycemic levels.

The one flaw that I find in pretty much all these nutrition discussions is that they lump carbs all into one unit. Yes, there are simple carbs in bread pasta, flours, but there are also sources of complex carbohydrates meaning things that people don't even really know about like unprocessed to grains like millet and kasha, barley, and starchy vegetables which have fiber in them to slow the reaction of the carbs down in your body. Until people address that I honestly don't think that. I just think it's a major flaw. When talking about carbs there are two camps. The simple carbs and processed foods which are horrible for everybody, and which cause instant reactions in the body and the much slower. Truly unprocessed complex carbohydrates.

I have trouble with eggs, dairy, and gluten intolerance. And I'm type 1. Low carb is smart though.

Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet is the cure.

So how do you bolus for meals like this? My son is 11 and probably not going to follow a strict lo carb/keto, but at times we have meal like salmon and Brussel sprouts and since there’s no carbs I have no idea how to bolus since we carb count, usually he will add in yogurt or granola bar. But I know if he ate the salmon/brussel sprouts alone with no insulin BS would rise. So my question is there a calculation like insulin:protein ratio??

@kiara574

5 жыл бұрын

Handsome Pants Eating protein on its own can cause the body to use it in a similar way to carbohydrates, thus increasing the blood glucose level. So in some cases you actually do have to end up bolusing for the protein. The best way to work out how much insulin to give is by experimenting. Start with a small dose and increase it until the blood glucose reading stays stable. You can monitor this with a CGM on a pump or just test the BG about an hour after eating. The reading should be similar to what it was before the meal if the right amount of insulin was given. (This is taking into account the correct amount of basal insulin was given) Other notes: I am currently 14 and have had T1 for about 3 and a half years. I have found that the best way to stabilize my BG is to eat a lean protein with a Low GI carb. For example the salmon with sweet potato. If I do end up spiking I just sugar surf and give myself a little more insulin. This ultimately lowers my HBA1C. I have also found that calories play a big role in stabilizing blood glucose although I am not sure why. A lower calorie diet helps keep my blood glucose stable and increases my insulin sensitivity.

Then make a meal that I knew was 100% carb free. Measure/weigh it up. Eat it. Track bg with frequent tests post meal and see what it did. Then I could compare the rise with sensitivity factor as for a correction and look at that against "carb" to insulin ratio to get a ratio I should divide by for different types of protein.

Search up euglycemic ketoacidosis you can still go into ketoacidosis even with normal blood sugars. Diabetic ketoacidosis isn't caused by blood sugars alone it's caused by lack of insulin. It's good to take a little bit of carbs and insulin to get it down. That's why I don't wanna do keto, I'm still a low-carber but if I'm gonna eat carbs I might as well get it from fruits and veggies than from breads.

I just ditched the biscuits, pasta, pizza etc but I still think it is really important for hormones, growth, cognitive development and more to have some healthy carbs in the diet, even for a type one diabetic. However, I agree that carbs will never be eaten as easily for us than non diabetics, and we will, on average, consume less, even if we are not spcifically on a low carb diet.

"type one" what? cannot hear what he says. what is the on line group?

I really believe that some of the problem is that older people I'm talking above 60 and up, many times have type one or type 1.5 diabetes, but most of the medical people treat type one and type two exactly the same and really don't put much effort into figuring out which one There are many good test to determine this yet they are seldom done in older people. I think one good way to figure out if your type one or type two, is to just go 24 hours or maybe a little less without eating anything. Stay well hydrated with just water but if your blood sugar remains high you need further testing to find out if you really are a type one or type 1.5 diabetic.

You need insulin regardless, because lack of insulin (not just high BG) can cause diabetic ketoacidosis. All diabetics need at least SOME carbs so we can take insulin without going hypoglycemic.
