My mom's average blood sugar is about 140mg/dL if she follows the diet McDougall is describing. But that's with no pills, and only 20 units of insulin per day. Before she had the diet right, her average blood sugar, with metformins, glipizide, actos, insulin, and chromium picolinate, was 320. So, when the food is right, her range is between 70 and 180. BUT, just as soon as she gets a bit lenient with the meat and fats, sure as the sunrise, her range starts to go up. After one week of dietary indiscretion, her range is up to 90 to 200, after two weeks, it's 110 to 220, and every week she keeps it up, her average goes up 20 points. Until last week, her blood sugar was 400. And I said, "look. What the hell are you doing!?!?" So, she caught her head, and ate sweet potatoes, fruit, brown rice, broccoli, a diet of 5% fat.

Within a SINGLE WEEK, her daily peak went down from 400 to 200. And this morning, her reading was 87mg/dL. And she told me that her thinking is clearer, and her mood is better. you fall off the diet....do not fret. Just get back on that bucking bronco of your food addiction battles, and be the locus of control, of YOUR HEALTH DESTINY!

This was excellent. What a crime that drug corporations have the power that prevents so many diabetics from receiving this information.

Thank you again. Indeed a video to share. I myself don't suffer from diabetes or obesity although decades ago I was at BMI 24.9 and felt fat and wished I wasn't; vegan since 2000. Have often shared videos but it's astounding how close minded people are: long videos, short videos, people remain dazzled and obsessed by proteinproteinprotein meaning of course exclusively animal protein, especially paneer which is firm cottage cheese the national Indian craze since decades now, and 'curd' or dairy yoghurt, a daily staple for many, also eggs and chicken for the 70% non vegetarians. Doctors and dieticians routinely tell all patients it seems including diabetes patients (or even especially diabetic patients) to have more of these foods: I heard a doctor on television during the pandemic advising diabetic patients to have more eggs. For protein. Potatoes and rice are feared. So I shall share this video to overweight, obese, diabetic, hypertensive and other patients. They won't watch it and won't pay heed even if they do watch a snatch; and already think I'm weird since I'm vegan...

Thoughts on Berberine, citrus bergamot, GTF chromium, Alpha lipoic acid, and benfotiamine to help manage and get blood sugar under control along with a healthy diet, exercise, and good sleep?

Thank you so much Dr McDougall for the lectures you are sharing on YouTube. Thank you Chef AJ for bringing attention to Dr McDougall. Very valuable information and education. Much appreciated.

This discussion can save lives and I hope people can find it and help themselves and their family members. Diabetes treatment is not treatment but ongoing drug prescriptions, surgery and blindness, neuropathy, gout and costs that rise every year. Recommendations have people cut out carbohydrates and nothing is said about what the fat is doing to the body and the high protein when people switch to mostly meat and vegetables to keep carbs low. That makes the disease worse and the blockages in the blood stream lead to edena and gangrene where people have to get their feet and hands removed. If you are old, the costs can be so high that it’s more than normal living expenses. The drugs given yo-yo people into weight gain and corticosteroids also can be a requirement. If people knew they could have their health back and at such a low cost with such any easy thing, they would try it because there is more to gain, nothing to lose and it’s the only thing that actually does make it so your just not having to go for ongoing patient care for the rest of your life. Glaucoma, loose your sight because of blockages to the arteries, it’s so much worse if you had to face loose limbs. I wish there were posters or pamphlets in the hospitals with a pro and con of treatment options.

Huge, huge thanks, Dr. McDougall, for this excellent presentation. Added to my favorite playlist. This is exactly what I need. I got more assurance that my decision to not take my mom to a doctor was right. My mom is 72 years old, and she has blurry vision. Just few days ago she got her blood sugar tested, and it was 295mg/DL.
