I don’t have diabetes but I have had cancer, and as I studied about it I understood that mitochondria was damaged, which in way made me think about diabetes also, and so as I studied with you guys from your Podcasts I changed a little bit my plant-based diet with huge rise in energy and feeling great …..thank you so much for your work!

[luckyhanger]

I read your book and can say you guys got me to get my insulin resistance under control. :) I no longer require any exogenous insulin....thanks for teaching me the way!

Hi! I’m almost 74 type 1 diabetic and love your MD plan ! I asked for the book for Christmas . Immediately read it and began the program Jan 2. I began 100% green light foods for a month breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also did the decision tree for January too and learned a lot. On my! Now I’m doing green light foods about 95% of the time. Many great changes like A1C dropping from 9.3 to 7.9. I’m taking Prednisone which is a bummer or perhaps it would be lower. Cholesterol, BP, lipid panel all great . Thanks to u! I watch u all the time on Utube! Aloha, Cindy from Honolulu

I have got your book 'Mastering Diabetes' today. Gonna read it to have a better understanding what you guys teaching to manage diabetes. So far what I know is I eat what works for me 'My own diet'. I eat lots of vegetables (low carbs) and have moderate protein and moderate fat to feel satiated so my BS remains under control. This is working so far. My goal is never go beyond 120. I am T2 15 years now. My belief, as learned from Dr Bernstein back in 2005 was low carb was only way to control diabetes . When I heard you guys also exist (Just a month back), I was surprised to see that you have different opposite diabetes management approach. I was avoiding anything that spikes my blood sugars...and fruit indeed spikes my one. Its always best to understand different perspective, facts. So I have your book with me now.

Great video. Thanks for being such an inspiration! I was always pretty skeptical of plant based eating because I believed the low carb paradigm that "carbs are bad". I've been plant based now for 7 months and feeling great. My HbA1c droppped from 7.2 to 6.4. My TIR improved from 65% to 75%. I still allow some olive oil just to keep weight, but overall I avoid processed food. For me movement is key and helps me get away with consuming some fat. Socially plant based eating is sometimes difficult, but feeling better and happier is worth the sacrifice.

Thanks Robby! Another excellent video and for this T1 diabetic, everything you say is spot on. Thank you for all that you and Cyrus do.

I love how some of the best-tasting natural foods that lower A1c, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc. also happen to help you lose weight! I started on my journey after noticing more anecdotally how keto would make my blood pressure spike high like 140/95 but often higher, then when I’d stop animal products (except fish and eggs once per week) it’d go down—like really drastically, for instance 113/68 and 108/73 readings!! In only 3-4 weeks my LDL dropped 20 pts alone and total cholesterol under 250. A1c went from 5.9% to 5.4%! Still haven’t cut out all my pastries and still have had a fair amount of pizza 😅 But I’m on track now, much more salads, fruit, legumes, oatmeal, flaxseed, etc. This made my cardiologist very happy!

So agree, whole foods are the way to go! Smoothies or even blended fruit bowls totally mess with my blood sugar

[jennyshanespitler]

I do two hours workout everyday and eat more greens nuts, and berries 😁❤️🏋️‍♀️ walking don’t burn much my blood sugar, if i run 35 minutes to an hour yes it’s burn my sugar down, walking is not enough for me. Thank you for your advice ❤️👏

[chrissvenningson]

If you love Ocra Robbie, try cutting them in 1/2” pieces with vidalia onions, navy beans and cooked in a bit of tomato sauce. Add some herbs too. Absolutely delicious and soooo nutritious !

[jaleinegreen]

I’m so inspired and motivated by this video! I will write down the “non-negotiables” and start using Cronometer again, and Robby, I share your love of avocados 🥑🥑🥑🥑

[Tam]

You have a beautiful energy Bobbi...and thanks for the information!!

[מלכהוינוקור]

Thank you again for sharing your informative and wonderful video. My question is about using cornmeal polenta for diabetes type two. Is it green, yellow or red?
Thanks for your answer!

[noellecuisine]

❤very nice keys and concise !

We are doing very much the same, although we came from other places (health issues, Netherlands/Switzerland, etc) and life has become even more delicious 😋!

[patrickrwhite]

Thank you for your energy and this nice video. I feel motivated.

I don't have diabetes, nor am I overweight, and I've been eating a 100% low fat fruitarian diet for the past 2 years. I also love drinking freshly made cold pressed fruit juices that I make myself and drink immediately. Is that bad in any way in your opinion? I'd love to hear your perspective on this whole trend that's happening these days with people going on multi-month juice cleanses and healing all kinds of diseases and detoxing decades old chemicals and gunk from their bodies ....

[JuanGonzalez-io]

I am never hungry should I still eat three times a day or six times a day or should I just eat when I'm hungry? I'm still trying to transition totally to this diet

[rebeccawoods]

Thank you for this video. I have a question: we are new to the program, and the goal is to help my husband become more insulin sensitive. He has a physical job and is trim, but he is still losing weight. What foods do you recommend he increase so he doesn’t lose too much weight/muscle mass? Thank you.

[petersimon]

Hello Robbi, thank you for the informed video. I have a question. How do I reduce exogenous Insulin belly fat? Please and Thank you.
