I was diagnosed in November 2021 with a 14.5 A1c. It is now 5.9 without medication. I'm a type 2 diabetic. Lower carb, CGM, lifting weights and walking 10K-12K steps a day. Lifting weights was the game changer for me.

I went from 14.5 when diagnosed down to 6.1 in 6 months. Excited to see next results in 3 months. Eliminated sugar ( as much as possible) reduced carbs, got rid of white bread and pasta entirely. Supplements like berberine, R-ALA, bittermelon & Apple cider vinegar. Goal to be off any prescription meds.

I have read many books, I listened to many Youtube videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.

You always take the time to listen, explain, and ensure that your patients feel understood and cared for, not just as patients, but as people. Your honesty in communicating medical information, combined with your empathetic approach, builds a deep sense of trust and reassurance.

Thank you so much for all you do and help us. I tested 5.7 last week. In March I changed my diet, getting rid of most of the breads, pasta and watching my sugar intake. I have lost 30 lbs. and 4 inches around my waist. I have my A1c tested every 4 months. My triglyserides have always been at a great level. I am 74 years old and have noticed a huge change in my 70's. I have to watch everything a lot closer than when I was younger. I do walk 2-3 miles every morning. And lift free weights at least 4 days a week. Still working on that pesky A1c though.

Good and simple video. I am 75 and despite family history i could avoid diabetes so far mostly using what you told in your video. My last A1C Was 6.3 . I have to work on a little bit more to bring it below 6. It is a bit difficult at my age but I will keep on trying to avoid medication.
I dont drink alcohol or sugary drinks .
I walk daily 7500 steps.
I avoid lots of carb and bakery products.
I try to do a complete fast once a week.
I am not bragging about myself but just let the younger ones to follow similar ruite.

Christel thank you for all valuable information in your videos! You’ve helped me lower my A1c from 12.1 to 7.9 in a year. Also following a clean keto diet. Hoping to get my A1c under 6 in 2024.

[susannichols]

I need to lower my A1C. Thank you for these tips!

[jeromesingh]

Thank you vm. You have explained everything so simple, concerning diabetes control. Most doctors, just want to increase medication. You have educated me. Is 1 month now I have changed my diet. Plenty fruits, and vegetables, snacking nuts at midday. Dinner at 5.30. If I feel hungry, I will drink water. So far everything working good. I want my A1c to be reading 5 or 6. Thanks again. 😢

This guy is so correct. I reversed my pre-diabetes in just 3 weeks. I started with fasting glucose 116 and after meal glucose 158 and down to 98 and 119. My trick was low carb diet and also 18:6 fasting. Avoid most of sugars but occasionally half slice of pan cake to reward myself every 2 weeks. I eat 2 meals in the 6-hour eating window, one meal with no carb at all and another with a little carb like 2 tablespoons of rice. No bread or noodles as those are the worst for the blood sugar, especially the whole wheat bread. They usually add more sugar in it to make it more appealing. I do eat a lot of veggies and proteins like steak and chicken. I don't do ketos because it can't be that healthy eating a lot of fats. I don't want to fall to another pit after escaping the previous one. I prefer eating a little of everything instead going to just a few so-called healthy foods. This will be my long-term diet now and I hope who ever read this can achieve the same.

My A1 C was 6.1 before Christmas..it was 4 months ago..
A week ago I checked my A1c again - 5.1
What did I do?
Completely reduced sugar, starch, white bread…
Never gave up coffee in the morning..
Never gave up my favorite oats. I’m eating only grain oats, soaking in the water over night.
Guess what : I’m eating bananas every morning with my oats.
I’m buying them in the green stage, peel them, cutting into the pieces, and put into the freezer.
Also I stated exercise 3 times a week with weights.
Trying to walk at least 15-20 min after every meal.
I lost 20 - 22 lb.
If you have questions, please ask me.

My DR says don't worry about prediabetes... "If it goes HIGHER, I can always can get you some metformin" I lost 15 lbs. It did nothing. The only thing that moved me out of prediabetes was the carnivore diet, and time restricted eating. True story...

[AdrienDuke]

There is no shortage of advice on line regarding this matter but THIS is by far THE most credible information about Diabetes that is exponentially devouring the lives of people including children, that everyone MUST listen to save their lives!

Very good, my recent A1C was 6.0, I eat breakfast around 730, lunch around 1130 then small snacks like fruit or nut, around 230 then dinner around 530. I ride my bike around 630. I do a lot of walking in the morning and weekends. I work from home too so I get up every 30 min, I can’t sit too long lol. Great video.

August 8 - Jan 10, 2024: I've gone from A1C of 6.6 down to 5.8. Was on no meds although my Dr. wanted me to! My goal is to get to 5 which is the bottom end of normal (According to Diabetes Canada). I'm doing low carb; almost no sugar (except treats at Christmas/New Years) ; no alcohol; mostly plant based diet; 6-8 cups of water daily; intermittent fasting (8 hour eating window). 5.8 is in the at risk category but I could do a happy dance I'm so thrilled w the results!
