as an Asian, we eat rice morning noon and night. But I lost the cravings of rice and carbs when i followed low carb diet. the cravings and hunger were gone! truly! I lost weight and my blood sugar readings are normal now. I ate beef, eggs, green vegetables, nuts and sardines on a daily basis. I keep it simple. sometimes i eat berries 1/2 cup a day. a bit of cheese. my arthritis on my fingers went away too and of course my belly flattened and I do not even exercise.

totally agree with you about eating rice morning, noon and night:) I am from Sri Lanka originally from India! Mine is a similar experience to yours though I am not too much into veggies, after I began living in the US. It was different back home when we had fresh veggies grown in rich arable soil. The typical US supermarket produce has zero appeal!

So refreshing to see a practician genuinely concerned about his patients health as opposed to being content with prescribing them meds. Outstanding doctor and marvelous human being. Thank you Dr. Unwin

When a blood test revealed that I had a fasting glucose that was now in the low end of pre-diabetic range, I asked my GP about it and mentioned studies showing that it placed me at more than three times greater risk of heart disease. His response was, "Yeah, you're not wrong, but nobody's perfect." The majority of physicians out there are both clueless and simply don't care about your health. That's why people have to take ownership of their own health outcomes. Doctors like Dr. Unwin are extremely rare based on my experience.

Keep it up Dr. David. You're doing a great job.

Not a doctor here - type 2 diabetic in the US. The treatment Dr. Unwin suggests is the opposite of what doctors in the United States suggest. I find it so interesting. At diagnosis, the first thing the American doctor suggests, after prescribing Metformin, is for the patient to see a dietitian or nutritionist. The nutritionist tells the patient to eat lots of whole grains, plenty of fruit and to limit red meat and fats. When the patient worsens, doctor prescribes one of the new, expensive drugs (which I think was the goal all along). I was told that I only needed to test blood sugar in the morning and that if I did test after a meal, a reading of 200 (which I think is 11 mmol) was okay. Thankfully I did not listen and have been low carb and off the awful Metformin for more than a year. Silly doctor has no desire to know how I did it. Bless you Dr. Unwin!

God Bless You Dr Unwin. Thank you for posting this on KZread I am very grateful. I am not a health care professional but so enjoyed this presentation at conference. You have given me hope. Thank you. Today, I am a 66 yr old woman, diagnosed with T2 diabetes in Jan 2016. I have been on Metformin since then (7 years). I am a recent T2 diabetic in remission (4 months now). I live in the United States and, by the measures you have used in your presentation, I am guessing UK uses a different scale of measure. My doctores follow American Diabetes Association guidelinees. Having read the book "Bittersewwt by Chris Feudtner" (2003). My Grandfather and I are the only two in the family history with this disease, and this history would have been the life he lived. How far we have come, I have access to research medicines and wonderful tools he never had. I have also read thru the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, MA. They seem to have a tighter regimen than ADA. In my professional life, I was an accountant and an adjunct professor of accountancy. Very detail oriented. I keep detail dietary records and closely monitored what foods did what to my blood glucose levels. With the help of Metformin, I moved my A1C from 13.X to between 5.9 & 6.3 mg/dL I went for my annual visit with my practitioner and found my GFR went from normal to 28% (Stage 4 CKD). My doctor took me off Metformin. Three months later my A1C, without meds, was 6.0 mg/dL. I've met twice now with my Nephrologist. She's monitoring but has made no mention of dietary change. That really suprised me. My family practitioner told me it is very rare that someone come off Metformin (so that was good), and that kidneys don't usually get better (that was not so good). When removed from meds, I became fearful of eating too many carbs. So I cut back, without any guidelines, and was pleasantly surprised at the results. I feel better without Metformin but am very fearful of kidney failure. So, I found hope in your talk about improved kidney function. I would be happy simply to move to a better kidney function, but pray for healing. I purchased your book, and will talk with my Nephrologist at my next meeting. Thank you again for sharing your work on KZread. God Bless You.

Thanyou for your tape you are right I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 20 years ago I use insulin but there's change is just keep going up.

This doctor’s ethics are quite impressive. And he explains it all so well.

Stellar presentation! Ive added more vigorous exercise and free weights. I see (Libre 3) my glucose even more stable as a result. Im putting on muscle mass which was my goal so that I can process glucose more efficiently. This is aside from low carb, hyper hydration, walking/biking (fairly competitive). The other night after an aggressive workout, I found myself urinating 4-5x that night (fairly clear and not cloudy). I presume that was the byproduct of my hydration and exercise. I did also notice that my glucose was very very stable throughout the night. The next night I was only up once (usually 1-2, occasionally 3x). Besides adding muscle, I feel that my added exercise is purging my muscles of stored glucose and residual vestiges of processed oils (which I no longer consume). Onward, upward.

I'm from Guyana and I found your channel from Dr Tony Hampton. Your information and explanation is so complete. I've been low carb for about three years, I've never used medication. I eat to my meter .....I test especially one hour after a meal to determine if that good is acceptable. I was introduced to low carb by, "Best Diabetes" I'm now listening to all of you videos

Hi Dr. Thank You for very helpful lecture! ❤

Excellent information. I am 82 yrs age I don't have any chronic diseasesvor any type of illness.I Vegetarian diet eg. Fruit vegetables and nuts and pulses like lentil rich in protein. My mother shee like me are vegetarian by our religion and my mum fied at age of 86 yrs and she never suffered any illness or diseases of any king. Only at 85 age she had type 1 diabetes.

I'm a drug free diabetic with an HBA1C 45. and I've done it by my self. Never seen a doctor re diabetes, Only seen a nurse. Free style libra for type 2, your joking. The doctors at the practice refuse to give type 2 even standard testing equipment. I bought my own testing equipment. . I started with an A1C. 60 refused drugs, brought it down to 48 in 3 months. No help from the surgery. I went back to my training and put myself on the Low Carb diet of the 60s. I had no training with type 2 as they didn't exist under 60 in the 1960s. So based my diet on type 1. With a few naughties I'm starting to cut them down as I'm stuck at A1C 45

Goal is referred to as "your why" by Dr. K. Berry.

7 carbs in a cup of green beans. That's my total carb allowance per meal. So, I do measure my carbs. Which is mostly intuitive after a few months.

I think the key may be that hunger, and the urge to binge, is not triggered by low blood sugar, it is triggered by the rate of fall of blood sugar (even if it is still moderate to high as a level). That's why the blood sugar spikes from carbs are so problematic.

Brilliant doctor.

For me dietary cholesterol did affect my serum cholesterol. I was eating 4 eggs from my hens most days. My total cholesterol was close to 300. I cut down to one egg a day, and my cholesterol dropped to 219. (I’m in the US, I know we use different units on many of these things.)

A powerful tool to lower BP, is extended FASTING. Just take care to replenish electrolytes. Really a too low BP should be more of a concern; as Dr. James DiNicolantonio ('The Salt Fix') for example explains: We need to take in enough healthy salt in order to hold on to water; as to maintain blood volume along with high enough BP. With low blood volume the blood vessels need to constrict, and/or the heart rate needs to increase; as to maintain adequate blood flow.

That makes total sense

What measurement is he using for diabetic glucose rate?

Absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The one thing I'd like to say tho is that alcohol should absolutely be avoided - it should be something that you have a small amount of once in a blue moon. Also that sometimes keto doesn't work quite the same for women especially on certain days of their cycle where they may need just a tiny bit of glucose and on those cple of days a little bit of fruit at the end of your evening meal which should be full of healthy veges, can give them just enough glucose to help them through but without creating an insulin spike but if they have too much it's easy to falk off the wagon.

I would recommend that everyone who needs to lose weight gets on the Carbs & Cals books…and in particular the 800 calorie a day rapid weight loss diet… IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DO… I’ve done it, 5st 5lbs lost between 29th January 24 (weigh day by the diabetic nurse when I weighed in at 21st 5lbs)… today I’m maintaining my weight loss and keeping to 16st… after having got down to that weight on 27th May 24… Believe me it will change your life… off metformin, and getting plenty of walking exercise each day with my dog… don’t just think about it….DO IT…

The tide is turning. Doctors of tomorrow will be very different, like this doctor. My doctors never told me to change my diet. They just gave me more drugs, and then drugs to help with the side effects. I have now taken matters into my own hands. Low carb has amazing results. I now feel years younger. 🙂 Make sure you try it.

I had a text from my practise nurse to say I have prediabetes, I stopped all sugar and as much carbohydrate as possible and lost a stone in a month, since then I joined a nhs programme where more fluids, more exercise and more wholefoods were recommended. Fair enough but the lentils, beans etc raise my blood sugar to over 200 so going back to sardines, cheese, eggs, salad, leafy vegetàbles and meat.

For what it's worth: IMO obesity is NOT causing any diseased state. It merely is a downstream symptom - for some; similar to increased Cholesterol production and higher BP. The Intelligently Designed body adapts towards ensuring survival. Alarming to consider that 60% of those of normal weight, are not metabolically healthy, and are - according to some reports - developing T2D even to a greater extent than obese individuals.

I'm a long time T2 who has always tested my blood sugar a lot and figured out what you say is correct about 15 years ago. I spent years arguing with Doctors and nurses about it (my blood meter doesn't lie). I think there is a shotcoming in what you said about alcohol. If I drink alcohol it will immediately lower my blood sugar. I find this handy for stopping a glucose spike if I eat somthing high glycemic (alcohol for blood sugar control is admittedly a very dangerous practice, depending upon your meds). However, while it lowers my blood sugar immediately, it spikes it in the morning much higher than a normal morning spike. I have my assumptions as to why and I deal with it ok. Perhaps you could comment about the reasons involved at some point.

Yes lowering carbs reduces the issue of raised blood sugar levels, but this is like not filling up your tank reduces fuel consumption.

I did really well…lost loads of weight…then, got hit by bad lower back and hip pain…so bad I could no longer exercise…and put all the weight back on… I’ve been x-rayed, scanned, and prodded, done physio, and nothing has helped… BUT…I started to cut my statins…by 50%…and guess what…it’s helped….I’m taking Atorvastatin, and one of the ‘effects’ in some people is back pain…. I’m now thinking that I have to diet again to reduce my weight - as I must do - and try and get my statins changed, or stop taking them altogether, and see if the back pain goes away… if so great… I’ll keep trying, that’s all you can do…but at 66 years I sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it…!! I’m Type 2 diabetes…

Take control of your own health, and just get off the statins immediately; no one is forcing you to take them? To improve over-all health: Incorporate regular daily&extended periods of FASTING. Besides for limiting processed, refined foods with harmful additives (EAT REAL FOOD); make sure to ingest enough healing animal foods (including in Collagen form), and important: with added fat. Also look into optimising your Vit D level ('The Optimum Dose' - MD Judson Somerville), which is helpful towards inducing Deep Restorative Sleep, and with it weight loss and detoxing, healing&repair. Besides for Sunshine, Rest, Deep Breathing and Grounding; prioritise Movement - within limits of your pain: 'Motion is the Lotion; with Blood the Life Force'....

Yes, chronic stress, resulting in sympathetic dominance; with the body not differentiating between physical-, chemical-, and emotional stressors... Leading to increased Cortisol (which also induces fat storage); alongside suppressed Thyroid metabolism... Thereby inhibiting digestion (resulting in various nutrient deficiencies), as well as reduced detoxification, healing&repair. When it comes to our diet: Besides for Excess, there for example are stressors like harmful defence chemicals/anti-nutrients in plant foods, as well as toxic antibiotics like Glyphosate, and other herbicides/pesticides in our food and water.

so could the same treatment also help or cure Crohn's , ?

Low carb or no carb? Explain

_"No carb"_ is essentially carnivore, which is mainly meat, eggs and dairy. That's extremely healthy. _"Low carb"_ adds in some low carb vegetables.

No carb is best. There is nothing in plant matter that is "essential", that can't be found in meats, fish, and eggs... all animal based! Find Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, and a couple of others that explain thisvery well, on KZread, and their books.

There's a downside to this dr Unwin. I practiced this dietary restriction for one year and was in diabetes type 2 remission. I fekt so great, didn't feel hungry muc during the day. My hbA1C was at 5.3 for 6 months and wasn't on medications. I was on top of the world and wanted everyone to know it. Then 11month into this l was taken into hospital unconscious. The doctor's informed it eas kidney failure. They wanted to put ne on dialysis. I was stunned. I refused to go on dialysis. My drs put me on alternative treatment plan. Luckily l recovered and got out of hospital after a week. What shocked me the most is how l looked very old and thin. My dr said l was doing extreme fasting is why l look the way l did.

Prescription medicines induce chemical stress on the body; typically leading to needing to take more medications to treat harmful effects, which often result from induced nutritional deficiencies. They are designed to treat symptoms, not to rectify the root-causes of a diseased state.

Metformin. Isn’t this helpful in other areas of health.

Actually, sugar is glucose and fructose. Wheat bread and rice don't have fructose. Many people get leaner with high carb and low-fat.

Dr Unwin is making the same mistake many low carb experts make. He does not understand the different metabolic pathways of fructose and glucose. Glucose is no where nearly as deadly for you as fructose is. Both glucose and fructose are sugars, but they have different metabolic pathways and effect your health differently.

@ClassicJukeboxBand he's not treating metabolically healthy people and this is a presentation to/for clinicians. Given that upwards of 80% of Americans have at least one marker of metabolic syndrome (including athletes and folks of 'normal' weight), it's foolish to assume that any patient who comes into your surgery is metabolically healthy

He should tell that bloke that mask isn’t doing anything but making him look foolish.
